He clearly wasn’t decisive enough on the border. But to my knowledge, he kept most Trump policies in place and didn’t really open the gates. The surge was mostly caused by the (end of the) pandemic and other events in Latin America. By the end of his term, crossings had fallen to below Trump levels.

His other job was to honor his promise to pass the baton after his first term.

It isn’t really. Women are allowed to compete in all tournaments. Occasionally (e.g., national championships), there’s a separate women-only tournament.

Usually they aren’t separated, and if they are, women are always allowed to play in men’s (actually called “open”) tournaments. Sometimes (e.g., national championships, professional chess) it makes sense to have separate tournaments because women’s level is lower.

What do you mean by “near Turing complete”? It takes very little for a language to be Turing complete. Like many other config langs, Pkl is Turing complete. Safety is achieved through type checking, enforceable timeouts, deterministic execution, etc.

From Trump’s perspective, the most promising way to get a good deal for himself is to put maximum pressure on the weakest link. He’s also had a personal feud with Zelensky since 2020 and isn’t aligned with him ideologically (staunch defender of rule-based order who opposes imperialistic ambitions).

Definitely possible, but I think pcf isn’t (yet?) a well-defined format. It’s more like pkl’s debug output.
