Well done! ODF served and serves me very well.

Tere is also another problem with the exponentia representation of probability. It is translation invariant in one dimension. Not only z[1],..,z[n] gives this probability, but z[1]=d,...,z[n] +d for every possible d!!!!
DigID is already something dangerous, trading hands is not gonna reduce the danger.
Going back to old school services is doable and safe as long as governments are interested for the security of citizens.
The logic programming space has more than Prolog
Picat (mentioned by the author) Datalog Mercury XSB
are there more?
Why?
They should design from the beginning to be as open source as possible. I work for a known customer and for their analytics stack they used in one of their departments they use some non-free libraries. From the first month I asked them to research open source libraries to have as a fallback and make the source code as friendly as possible to other contributors as if tomorrow we would open source it. The idea is that if we disappear people should take over easily. If the non-free vendor disappear or we do not have the money to spend we need a fallback.
They listened to the second part, but not the first.
During summer I had to build around this non-free libraries but their subscription ended when people responsible were in vacations and the project was paused because of design bugs for two months, so they did not plan to renew the license for two months. Still my part had to carry on in the mean time.
I added an open source library as a fallback, even if it was 4x slower. Because of delays the license was renewed 3 months later when design issues were addressed. If they had designed around open source from the start I would have a better time. It was a real pain to replicate the functionality around the open source library. It was not a drop-in, not very far but far enough to cause hard to find bugs, in nasty calculational code. That had a number of bugs already and bad code quality.
My experience.

One day when I'm not being lazy I might publish a point by point refutation of the usual nonsense anti-string theory memes. Until then, here's what I said on this point 25 days ago, specifically the first paragraph starting with "like another commenter".
In other words as we probe lower scales, string theory predicts thtat Lorenz invariance will never break,
as long we have to do with a consistent string like theory.
Is my understanding correct?

It upsets me that disposable vapes are not more prohibited. Where I live I often find vapes discarded in parks and other areas where they can be a fire hazard.
here in Greece you find it everywhere. I personally use the traditional e-juice vape to minimize waste.

What I get in these article is that the original intent on C language stands true.
Use C as a common platform denominator without crazy optimizations (like tcc). If you need performance, specialize, C gives you the tools to call assembly (or use compiler some intrinsic or even inline assembly).
Complex compiler doing crazy optimizations, in my opinion, is not worth it.
