Traditionally we visited the tulip fields in the Noord-Oost polder, my favourite tulip was present again: Shared album - Google Photos[^]
This year not a lot of Japanese tourists, but mostly Germans.
Did they follow me after my visit to Aachen I wonder

I went for a bike ride around Lisse yesterday. Lots of Japanese tourists, boy friends dutifully photographing their ladies for Instagram and for the first time in NL I was fearful of the traffic while cycling. Flowers were nice but I wouldn't do it again on a public holiday.

So that's where the Japanese were, hope they didn't trample too much on the flowers 
The region where I was, near Emmeloord, is a lot less touristical.

This was your first time cycling? 
This Tweet by Teunkie[^] says it all:
Crossing the street in Amsterdam:
look left
look right
look left
look right
look up
look down
look left one more time
look into the 4th, 5th and 6th dimensions
look into the past and the future
look into the souls of your unborn children
cross
still get hit by a bike

I tend to avoid Amsterdam at all costs

You put this [^] into my head (damn it!)
There must be some rule against this.

I notice that the article fails to mention that storing an unsalted hash is as bad as storing passwords in plain text.

I don't store passwords in clear text, the text is just regular black

I was thinking about the word "language", as in programming language. And then I was thinking about HTML and XML. These two are also called languages, but are they really?
I think to qualify as a language, something has to have procedural statements, not only declarative statements. It would be like a human language having only nouns but no verbs. It wouldn't be much of a language.
What do you think? Inquiring minds want to know.

It's a way of transferring information from one place to another.
Even pictures tell thousands of words without being language.

No, they are simply text/data Markup.
It was IBM in the 1970's that started appending the suffix 'language' on GML which became SGML which then became HTML.

So we can blame IBM, then!

I'm in the process of relearning how to play bridge, I used to play rubber bridge many years ago, and the bidding conventions are just like a language, you bid to convey information!

I think it's a question of context. In certain contexts to call them a language is a non sequitur but in a lower level of context they fit as in a medium to transmit data. They don't qualify as a medium to compose a computer program.
