Was this supposed to be a reply to Marc's post[^] from yesterday?

Probably. CP is acting a bit wonky. I just got 10 email notifications, several in rapid fire succession, of posts on that thread.

The problem is, real code can never be represented this way. Why would I want to turn every single statement into a visual block? That makes no sense. Even hieroglyphics represented larger concepts.
No, what I'm prototyping is something I haven't seen - the ability for the programmer to have absolute freedom as to what gets expressed in "block", and the freedom to interconnect those blocks in a way that makes sense to the developer, rather than being constrained by the tool's concept of what makes sense. In fact, the developer should ultimately be able to define the meaning to the tool: "this arrow here means inheritence" and "this arrow here means nothing you need to concern yourself with."

Sorry, guys.
I clicked "Reply" to the guy who posted about his visual drag'n drop programming language.
I'm not sure how it ended up as a new post, although I remember being interrupted by a meeting and afterward the submit erroring out.

Just so long as you don't "shake it all about".

So I plan a business trip in the US, and I will be taking measurement devices and other such equipment in my suitcase. I suppose there exist special procedures where everything has to be declared and authorized - I expect 10,000 forms to be filled out and signed by the POTUS and FLOTUS in person.
Any idea where I can find information about that ? Google did not help.

My first guess would be DHS, but I would check with the airline you're planning to use, and they can probably point you in the right direction.

If you are leaving after inauguration, you may need it signed by POTUS and IFHOTUS.
Anyone care to guess at what the "I" stands for?

You could send the equipment ahead through Fedex.
|
|
|

Don't forget to get your equipment documented by your home country before you leave. Otherwise, you may find that you have to pay duty for importing said equipment when you return. Probably your travel agent can help you with that, or at least tell you where to get said documents.

A previous Boss of mine was coming back from a trip to see a customer of ours, had a set of batteries with him in a separate case all the data sheets for them, a letter from the customer saying they were for test only. Had to ship by sea! FLOTUS (?)
