Most scripting languages are interpreted, not compiled. It's not a criticism of them, but it is a tradeoff that is good to understand.
It seems like you are the one who is conflating terms like "script kiddie" with "scripting language" and adding some negative connotation that isn't necessarily implied.
Scripting languages are usually easier to learn, have simpler syntax, and abstractions that hide complexity. These make them easier to get started in, but the downside is they are generally slower (performance-wise) than their compiled counterparts.
I didn't mean it as a critique of what you were saying, and certainly not as an insult to you, but rather as a disappointed critique of American city layouts.
Hey, if it makes you feel any better, Netflix started blocking me from sharing an account with my parents, and we cancelled the account and didn't make any new ones.
Although, if they still had disc deliveries, my parents would probably have kept the account.
If you had 500 die hard fans who stream your music every waking minute, you get $0.
Now, I imagine they did this to prevent people from trying to game the system (create a song and have all your devices stream it all the time, or something), but it's still shitty that if you have legitimate "listens" you can get nothing.
One question: how can the loan from Brian Acton be interest free? I thought the federal government imposed minimum interest rates to prevent people from bypassing tax-free gifting limits.
Sorry if this is a stupid question, and maybe it's because I'm not understanding exactly what you're saying, but what's the benefit of encrypting if it decrypts on boot without a password?
Just to prevent someone who boots another OS on your device from being able to access your files? Something else?
