I think this is a different red language.

Crafting interpreters is a great place to start! Takes you from basically nothing to implementing a whole language surprisingly quickly.

As a Dad I can confirm. Many fewer steps counted while pushing a stroller.

I saw this when the initial report was posted and I've been wondering why the Trump administration hasn't jumped on it. Whatever Trump thinks about the environment, it seems like this could be used as trade war ammunition.

Not sure what the parent comment meant but maybe because software jobs will start to move to lower earning locations. I've been wondering about this. Manufacturing has largely moved off shore over the last 40 years but software seems much easier to move. Could the whole industry disappear from the first world at a much faster rate?

The point is, you've got to think it through and see if it's a good deal for you or not. Right now I own a house worth about 400k. If I rented and put that 400k in stocks history says I'd probably make on average almost 20k per year above inflation. Plus the landlord would pay the 4k property taxes and the new roof ill be doing next year. In my area I could easily rent a similar house for 20k per year. So in my case with the market the way it is right now I might be better off renting.

Are you just assuming new secure versions exist that could be used? I work with industrial control but mainly Rockwell not siemens and I don't know of any PLC communication protocol that supports any kind of encryption but I want to hear about any options that do exist.
