We will see, but (first thoughts):

- for the economies of scale, you might develop your custom solution 20x faster now, but you're still in competition with the established provides with templates for most of the cases (who btw have the same LLM capability at their disposal)

- for the change in business -- you can ask an LLM which changes this induces, and it will give you most typical impacts. And then you're back at square deciding if it's better to roll your custom DSL and the custom system downstream, or just use off-the-shelf stuff that covers 95% of it from day one (well, maybe day two or three)

At least two reasons:

- economies of scale no longer work, and you end up doing a custom ERP for your business from scratch.

- your business changes might invalidate your model quickly. You sell through distributors, but open an online shop -- and suddenly your customer is not one of few dozen well-known businesses with a known address and tax number, but user2252 who bought something late at night last night. And you want to understand the needs and behaviors of both.

... and I think you will both find it intellectually stimulating to explore the complexity behind ERP systems that makes a common DSL near impossible across industries, or as businesses change.

DSL presumes agreement on semantics, and that's often the most difficult part.

As a law-abiding civic-minded migrant I also feel unwelcome.

> workplace sexual harrassment training

Well, it’s in the name already. The fact it’s not called “anti-harassment training” always makes me chuckle…

Would this hold for median car prices?

You could not replace them entirely with renewables, so fossil fuels were used

It’s easy to dismiss the genuine needs of someone else if one’s not impacted though.

Ideology or not, exclusion does not help.

You may want to consider NixOS as yet another option.

Regardless of the topic of the discussion at hand: please stop dehumanizing adversaries.

Would that not apply to sociopathic serial killers too?

Engine replacement happens on airplanes fairly frequently. You don't want to scrap an airplane because of a single damaged turbine blade, or even keep it on the ground for longer.

Genuinely curious European here: what in your view was their purpose?

It's rather: ... a competing formatter that may not be used on open-source projects.

The composition of both paints is a trade secret ("closed-source formatters"). The controversy is about disallowing the use on a broad class of projects benefitting the society.

So… an average person has slightly less than a single ovary AND slightly less than a single testicle.

How would your method work on that?

My point being: statistics has developed arcane methods to describe a population. One should not blindly force the most common measure on every case.

Does this make the practice any better?

No disrespect to Mr. Cook and his formidable achievements, but A LOT of the „value“ increase comes from the monetary policies in the zero interest rate economy.

Let’s not equal widespread abuse to no abuse at all.

I'd suspect the use of SPI would probably go beyond the capability of an average IT hardware support person, much less -- an end-user.

That's not the point the parent was making.

Please look up "rent", "dividend" and "capital gains".

On top of all other advice here: choose your learning material wisely. Ask the existing communities to point you to the best resources for your objective and skill level, then use those resources for a fast-track dive into the topic rather than wasting your time on less helpful material.

… but the receiver needs to provide evidence of consent

How about re-implementing it for the editable Web? (Wiki-like, but with additional controls and some web-based editor?)

Closed source, so we can speculate (or try to reverse engineer/break it).

I am not an expert in Apple hardware / firmware, but I admire your trust that the US government could not exert the same influence on Apple as they did on Intel.

Intel probably had to disclose the existence of IME due to collaboration with mainboard vendors. Apple does not face this constraint, so it is a lot easier for them to keep such subsystems under wraps.

Of course I'm just speculating here, but a product typically mirrors its environment.

Fair point, but most policies will require you to apply some protection mechanism anyway.

> I store both passwords and 2FA in an automated software.

This effectively reduces the 2nd factor to the first, and indeed produces the diminishing return. It's sufficient to hack one system using one method and you compromise both defenses.

The point behind 2nd factor is to provide a second, *independent* layer of protection that would need to be compromised using an entirely different attack.

In the case of the FIDO2 dongles including the Yubikeys the secret isn't even stored on your system, but on the device itself that doesn't even disclose it to your connected system.

Technically correct, but the short-hand naming may be misleading here. It’s the physical interaction or hardware dependency that makes the difference.
