Many (most, in the US; don't know about Sweden or Australia) institutions don't draw a distinction between the two and award MA regardless.
did not know!

Meanwhile Dolph Lundgren has an actual MA in Chemical Engineering. It's a pity we can't get him to do something like this in earnest to teach engineering concepts.
MA is master of art according to google. MSc seems right.
Very good to see all this in one short page!

I think the author would agree, and is in fact the point of his post.
The only way to solve these problems is using some large hosted platform where they have the resources to constantly be managing these issues. This would solve their problem.
But isn't it sad that we can't host our own websites anymore, like many of us used to? It was never easy, but it's nearly impossible now and this is only one reason.
i think it has been a hard to host a site since about 2007. i stopped then because it is too much work to keep it safe. even worse now but it has always been extra work since search engines. maybe the OP is just getting older and wants to spend time with his kids and not play with nginx haha.

sad but hosting static content like his site in a cloud would save him a headache. i know i know, "do it yourself" and all but if that is his path he knows the price. maybe i am wrong and do not understand the problem but it seems like he is asking for a headache.
edit: words

IMO: Transpilers are compilers, but not all compilers are transpilers.
In my book, transpilers are compilers that consume a programming language and target human-readable code, to be consumed by another compiler or interpreter (either by itself, or to be integrated in other projects).
i.e. the TypeScript compiler is a transpiler from TS to JS, the Nim compiler is a transpiler from Nim to C, and so on.
I guess if you really want to be pedantic, one can argue (with the above definition) that `clang -S` might be seen as a transpiler from C to ASM, but at that point, do words mean anything to you?
I can read 6502 machine code raw hex. Now what. ;-)
very good article! i am surprised how such simple circuit was used in the 5f1!

I was actually pleased with how cheap it ended up: less than $20 USD for the board + assembly + every component.
I set ESPHome to use IDF under the hood, you can check out my full ESPHome config for this: https://git.ellis.codes/e/esphome-configs/src/branch/main/vo...
interesting! i tried to order some assembled boards and was told $200+ (US) for only ~20 smd parts.
