And of course they have explained how to do it in the following pages... haven't they? :rolleyes:
M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

If The White House can't tell us how to do it, who can? ;P :rolleyes:

Going into detail (this was actually released last year), they're specifying software written for the Government. They don't want C and C++ because of the inherently impossible task of verifying memory correctness when using null terminated buffers for everything.

Hard to believe a press release dated Feb 26 was last year already ;) But yeah, I know he did an executive order on this back in October - I had that in the newsletter as well. Maybe it's just a sign of how slow the White House is on releasing press releases of his executive orders? ;P

More likely our dementia patient President forgot he had already done this. (And yes, based on Biden's speeches in the 90s vs. the 2000 campaign vs. now, Joe Biden is suffering from advanced dementia of some form.)
I happen to doubt that it's dementia. I think it's some kind of unique disorder that's due to the brain surgeries he's had.
The difficult we do right away... ...the impossible takes slightly longer.
