The instance profile example makes it seem like you need to specify the account for "Service": "ec2.amazonaws.com" just with another syntax, while service principals are always in the same account AFAIK.

Because Chile renounced Patagonia to keep Argentina out of the war with Bolivia and Peru. Argentina is the bully around here.

The old solutions to phishing, education and weak 2fa, are in the way of the new and improved solutions, FIDO, passkeys. Nobody wants to admit that the old ways were lacking. They were hipped too hard. It's like when new health guidelines appear and contradict the old ones.

Interesting that card/drivers customize so much of ray tracing, like rasterization in pre vulkan/metal/d3d12 or even fixed function gpu days.

Any intuition that justifies the diamond shape? In sharks each diamond is a scale, but maybe a regular rectangular pattern works just as well.

It's true that defer is more powerful at function scope. You can always recover block scope with an unnamed func. But it doesn't fit with normal lexically scoped constructs. You get gotchas.
I would love to be able to explicitly affect other scopes as you mention, for example to define two classes at the same time.

It's indefensible that defer works on the function and not on the scope.
