> almost all of Javascript's good parts come from Smalltalk Is this underselling the role of Self in JS’s prototype-based object system, or saying that a prototype-based object system is not one of the good parts?

Sure, but that's just lending you a computer at that point, unless they expect you to cover the depreciation cost or something when returning it.

Very few of the MSP430s actually use FRAM, last I checked -- it's limited in both size and speed. (My understanding is that the FRAM speed is substantially better than Flash speed, but they treat it like SRAM for XIP, with I think two

NAND hasn't been scaling great lately. It seems like PCM or MRAM would both be better fits.

Reverse sear over sous vide -- moisture is the enemy of crust. Cheap knock off a Big Green Egg with hardwood charcoal can get to 650°F or so pretty quick, and does an amazing job of finishing up after a reverse sear.

I think this is kind of my point -- there's no way to develop that level of nuance in a movie. The options are to take way more time (see Silo), to do a crappy job (see... almost every 2 - 3 hour movie), or to instead change the goal:

The most recent Dune movies pull off the incredible feat of being a better telling of the tale than the book, but only if you already know the tale from the books. They’re not beginner-friendly, but they’re extremely respectful to the book

I run about 50 Philips Hue lights and I’ve replaced 3 in six years, so definitely not as reliable as the L-Prize lights, but not awful. The L-Prize bulbs are built like tanks… when you drop one you check the floor for damage before the bulb

Every Philips L-Prize bulb I bought in 2012 is still working. Some have been on about 30% of the time since purchase. A few have been dropped multiple meters onto concrete; oops. Well made LED bulbs last. Cost-optimized ones may not.

Reads are not generally life-limiting for flash. (Well, no more so than power-on time in general. You still have aging mechanisms like electromigration, but these are orders of magnitude slower than write-induced damage.)
