I do too, but I feel like TypeScript stands alone as an unusually effective and pleasant to use bolted-on type system. I've not seen any other approach come close. (My sample size is Python, Ruby and Elixir)

What makes you think there is no clear evidence of ROI?

It isn’t an added rule for pinning. It’s the only rule about putting yourself in check.

And likewise, it's not particularly meaningful to say "That's a consequence of not being allowed to put yourself in check (by any means)."

The rule, "3.9.2: no piece can be moved if that exposes or leaves its own king in check." covers both the case of moving a pinned piece as well as moving the king into check, i.e. it covers all "means" of putting yourself into check.

You said “ That's a consequence of not being allowed to put yourself in check (by any means).” My point is that there are no other means.

The only way to put yourself in check is by moving.

This is not in the context of a requirement level. The definition of MAY as defined there makes no sense here.

School districts are often supersets of municipalities.

Prusa is on par with Bambu in that respect. Really, Prusa are the ones that pioneered hassle-free calibration.

Rejecting the conflicting request is being robust to improperly reused idempotency keys. There's no other reasonable answer.

It's not quite FLOSS escrow, but source code escrow is somewhat common among big enterprise software contracts. There are companies that facilitate this, e.g. https://www.escrowcompany.co/source-code-escrow/

For any given IQ test, the norming sample is taken once. So if everyone gets twice as smart as before, everyone's IQ, as measured by any existing IQ test, would go up.

Adafruit sells enclosures for them, too.

I keep a few of these around to deal with this: https://www.adafruit.com/product/6323

Very annoying though! The devices are just missing a couple resistors which is probably less than a cent on the BOM.

Maybe I’m missing something, but once you’ve got durable state, don’t you get durable transport more or less “for free” with SSE and Last-Event-ID?

Claude Design is very explicitly oriented towards product UI design. It's not trying to be a product that can make you a logo.
