In some ways web apps act like this: all (most) of the buisness logic and data is on the server. And you get the data through API calls - so in theory one can build your own UI on top of a known service. There are rare examples of this done

It is also a great way to hook up kids as early as possible to get the best tracking data and condition them to whatever it is, that you want to sell them. With paying for games, the cost is clear. With ads, it isn't.

Well, the dev thinks different and this is what matters. And WASM by itself works quite well by now, even on older devices, but not really on stock browsers. The question is more, how will be the whole experience of an autocompiled wasm pro

I would think his point is, that the number of bird deaths are simply neglectible compared to what for example house cats do (or windows). So no need for much further research, that could be spend better elsewhere.

Heavy machinery (in production) is designed that you cannot just walk into them and will stop, if you do. It is a bit different approach from software engeneering.

You are looking for deeper meaning. That's probably not to be found in Lego, unless you use it to teach kids about engeneering/robotics (a shame they stopped the mindstorms). And coincidently, that is how I enjoy Lego nowdays. Bui
