   I dislike Python for that reason. I don't love the offside-rule syntax, but compared to how often I have an issue with software written in Python due to some old/deprecated/broken packaging issue... I've lately been pret

    It's like the (usually) interpreted equivalent to C/C++. There are lots of 'standard' package management choices. And it seems like the package resolution is finally local by default, although that requires a 'virtu

    Mostly. But multi-scanning to different resolutions is something I'll miss.

    It doesn't help that OS support is time-bombed either.

    I disagree. I would say most of the migration from PHP was due to the appeal of one language for frontend and backend, and fashion/hype. PHP is still very usable for server-side rendering and APIs. You say "very simple" as if

    There's a generation of developers who have never used bare-metal hardware, and have never built a simple server-generated website.

    Did you always play with a light? 4-6 hours is closer to GameGear territory. The Gameboy Pocket certainly had the shortest battery life of the GB/Pocket/Color trio due to using 2 AAA batteries. My experience with the original is t

    I don't like the state of the Republican party, but I'm also sick of this stereotyping and strawmen. I think many, if not most, Americans agree that the tariffs are excessive and are going to cause issues.

    The hypermedia constraint is crazy magic itself. It's not like HATEOAS is fewer steps on the application and server side.

    The real pain with the (well at least the earlier) plastic Macbooks (especially along with their short support life) is the 32bit EFI, and some even had 32bit-only Intel CPUs.

    Funny you should mention SNES carts...the only way I can use a Super Game Boy portably is with a Supaboy, which looks very silly :D I realize you don't have the resolution needed for such a thing on your project, but it would be intere

    I'm sure it makes the gear ratios easier to calculate for the power-frequency-synced gearing on those old electric clocks. But now? It's pretty much just an implementation detail.

    While this is mostly true, with how much software is web based, and how web browser support is essentially only on supported OSes, OS support does matter. This is less of an issue for DOS and Windows 95/98 because software in that era
