Memory leaks are often difficult to deal with, and many contemporary languages basically encourage them. I know many applications that suffer significant performance issues due to memory leaks, and way too many that simply don’t care about memory footprint.

A language that treats memory management differently from the start makes all these problems much easier to deal with, if they appear at all. The real question is if the other costs of using the language are worth the somewhat niche performance gains.

1 in 7 means lots of friend groups just don’t have players. It’s very likely that many children will grow up without really knowing what roblox is.

There’s no way it has 100% market penetration.

If the language makes common but dofficult to deal with error impossible, that’s nice. Not critical, but nice.

If the language introduces easy to make and hard to deal with errors, that’s an issue. Not a deal breaker, but an issue.

The idea does exist, but it’s stated with way more confidence and finality than it deserves. That’s social media I guess.

The evolution strategy: if you don’t know what you’re doing, every function is a feature!

That’s a fast trip to feudalism.

Exactly. I’d be much more ok with a standardised block of text and maybe a picture. No music, no animation, basic machine voiceover if any audio.

My favourite advertisements (the ones I’m most ok with) are podcast ad reads, because they never gave music or sound effects or crass images, it’s just the voice making the podcast reading some text. And they’re personalised based on the context of the podcast, no personal information needed.

A very low current transformer, more of kess yeah.

Some lights will charge op and flicker, others have a constant glow. The speed/brightness depends on how long the wire is, so most residential lamps are unnoticeable even when it happens, but large rooms and weird wiring can make it more obvious.

LEDs are so efficient that even microamps can power them. If your LED driver is cheap, it’ll run on basically nothing, or charge up enough to start for a fraction of a second.

The microamps come from a hot wire running next to a switched wire behaving as a capacitor when carrying AC voltage, letting microamps leak through. (It’s not required that the light is on the hot side of the switch as I said previously, my bad).

This can happen if the switch box is a terminal box with hot and switched wires in the same cable, which is rather common. Probably some other configurations too.

Honestly, I “upgraded” my phone to the 8 year newer model, and besides the easy numbers like CPU speed, RAM, and storage, it’s a straight downgrade. No headphone jack, slower charging, 50% chance of worse battery life (something slurps like mad sometimes), a hole in the screen, fewer buttons, a bunch of my apps don’t work anymore, fewer sensors, worse case selection, fatter & heavier, and the big G won’t stop pestering me to install malware.

I still use my old mobile more. It really just needs a new battery and some extra RAM.

We can check that gravity and friction exists right now, without leaving the room. It’s also quite specific situations that don’t have either one.

Here, how the switches are related to the light is already in question, and dumb wiring jobs are more common than anyone wants.

Who said anything about plugging it in? Bean someone over the head with it!

Worse, if the LED is wired to the hot side it will just barely glow at all times.

I bet it’s the complex carbs. So potatoes, brown bread, and cereals won’t digest at all, while chips and white bread won’t be as bad.

I don’t think all cats have the same digestion or gut flora either. Some cats have stinky farts for anything but wet food, while others eat anything without an odor at all.

Yet Another Better Barrel Attempt (YABBA)

Therapists as pentesters is an interesting concept. Maybe if we thought about it like that there would be more interdisciplinary methods.

It’s the difference between a pyramid scheme and an MLM: one of them has a product in the mix.

All subdivisions are arbitrary.

Can you not read the labels? I know Chrome will shrink tabs to just the icon, but you mention Pocket, so I assume you know about firefox, where there’s always at least 6 or so characters shown.

I have no issue navigating 150+ tabs (except that it takes a moment to scroll over them). It’s like a kitchen; half of the cupboads just have baking supplies in them, but I know exactly where anything is, or at least where to look. Baking soda is in the first cupboard right of the fridge, next to the vanilla, behind the salt. The paper on planetary radius vs mass I’m using for worldbuilding in my TTRPG is just to the right of the chunkbase map, and a bit left of the second youtube island, next to the other 12 worldbuilding research tabs.

This was before tab groups too. Now I can collapse those 12 tabs into one item, and do that for each of ~10 topics, which makes navigating tabs much faster.

Firefox mobile is a different beast though, because I can’t organize the tabs, and they’ll get reorganized by time (I think?) after 2 weeks when they get moved to Inactive Tabs. That’s more of a big pile that I sort through when I’m bored.

Huh, I’ve never had that happen. My 8 year old phone has difficulty with opening the home screen, but the tab list has always been smooth as butter.
