Several layers of problem there, particularly that a “criminal record” doesn’t mean you’ve been found guilty, only charged, and that the stay on proceedings means an innocent person can never clear their name- allowing the Canadian police to sweep their faulty charges under the rug.
“We don’t wish to cause any alarm, but is there any one on board who is familiar with regular expressions, cron expressions and parameter expansion rules in bash?”

Are you a libra? This sounds like something a libra might would say! /s
“Repeatable identifiable categories of dubious usefulness”
Yep, there’s a lot of this in modern science.
“Is this method of classification useful? wrong question! All you need to ask is, is it easy to write a reproducible paper (or shareable web content) on this method of classification? Yes, yes it is!”
Eh, it's more like the DSM was written primarily with the concept of billing and charting in mind. If you track and bill medical conditions, you need a consistent language for things that will be consistent across medical providers.
It solves a problem, just not the problem most people think it solves.

I’ve been learning guitar over the past couple of years and I still struggle with many aspects (with good rhythm and timing being the most difficult). I’m mostly self-taught (justinguitar.com) but have recently started a music class to get feedback on my playing. My wife is also learning Mandarin and it sounds like the kind of book that she’d be interested in.
