Reading is, indeed, not copying, and you are allowed to do that within copyright (hence the name; it's not 'readingright')
But reading and then writing something similar, while not exactly copying, is close enough that it's usually considered 'plagiarism'.

Well I hear the straight of Hormuz has mountains around it and those don't really let wind through 😂

Birthday paradox... I don't know whether you measure 'time since transition' in days or years but if it's the latter, six is not too bad. In my almost 48 years, I've met more Wouters than I remember, and I know that there are *at least* 4 people that I share a first *and* last name with.

The way to make it work is not to use a web interface, but instead to use a tool like https://opencode.ai/ to
- generate the code
- generate the tests
- run the tests
- have it loop over 'fix any failures and try again'
- test the code yourself
By themselves, they will get things about 80% right. That's not perfect, but with that feedback loop, enough to get something that works.

Perfectly fair, and I had kind of guessed that to be the case, which is why it was notable 🙂

If "working code and dogged determination" can be described as a miracle then yes.
The code is available though! You can release your own event video with it! https://salsa.debian.org/debconf-video-team/sreview

As my account has been removed, it's now official: I am no longer a FOSDEM organiser.
This was my choice. I wish the organisation all the best for the future, and if time and money allow, might come again as a mere visitor, for the first time in 22 (!) years.

Doesn't surprise me, PL/I is the brainchild of a meeting room full of IBM execs who were like "why do we need all these programming languages, let's design one big one that has the features of all the other ones and we can get rid of all these compiler teams"
Of course they then discovered https://xkcd.com/927/ but hey

Welcome to the world of DST-free life! I discovered (after moving from Belgium, which has DST, to South Africa, which doesn't) that it affected me for months after the DST change in many more ways than I thought.
Getting rid of it is good for your health in so many ways.

If I wanted to do some pen testing, I'd need to get some gloves to protect my hands. But I don't like to ruin gloves, either, and I don't want to use disposable ones. This is why I don't do offensive fountain pen security. Even if water soluble ink stains aren't very long-lasting.

History is no guarantee for the future.
Not saying it's definitely going to happen, but the chance is probably higher than that of 'Utah may be nuked'

So you can plug in a USB WiFi adaptor.
And there's two because there *might* be a source of interference nearby.
