I love project Gutenberg to provide the rest. it's a short pamphlet:

but then you can always use HTML tables in markdown and Pandoc transforms it just fine

im practice is a good idea to build a DFA from your regex, up front (re2) or lazily (ripgrep)

but still, if it were, it was and remained, as gp points out, bad practice...

jython went EOL.with python 2 going EOL.

So Singapore committed to protect children from violence

https://www.unicef.org.uk/what-we-do/un-convention-child-rig...

And it seems Singapore (like some other countries) struggles to figure what that actually means, come to think about it.

I find the evolution of §1631 of the German civic code interesting from 1900 to the early 2000s it slowly moved from "the father has the right to chastise the children" to "the parents have the right and obligation to bring up their children. humiliation is no appropriate means for upbringing."

so no form of violence, psychological and physical, that goes beyond merely protecting the child or it's environment from harm, is appropriate. any such acts that are covered elsewhere in the code actually turn violent into a felony: insult, beating, locking in the room, even grounding? that's not how you turn a young human into a decent adult.

the turning point btw was Astrid Lindgren of Pipi Longstockings fame, and her acceptance speech "Never Violence!" for the Peace Prize of the German Book Trade, a prestigious event with high reach in politics and intellectual elites. The speech was rocking the boat, indeed, she was asked to only hand out the prints and not actually give the speech, to not spill the event. Yet she insisted...

PayPal started greenfield so they baked the qualification and consistency checks into the process and had it automatic. banks ho ooops.

Same for Tesla: they created a hand over free code to (testing) road flow. and they were capable of thinking like that because their roots are software.

GP below confirms traditional finance.

and it's beyond me to not think about doing this and instead exposing everyone and their neighbor to this exploit up front.

I'm certain this is even a felony in some legislations, rightfully so.

you can point them to %APPDATA%..., ~/Library or the Linux defaults.

my point in this is: there are free and open conventions and we wouldn't need this "my HOME is cluttered" fuss, if technical teams would embrace them.

so why don't they respect XDG_ env vars for their config and data?
