I've been watching all of Modern Vintage Gamer's content for about 9 months now. This guy puts out some really nice videos with high production quality. There was a great video about game disk copy-protection a few weeks back. Awesome stuff, and very well researched.
Some other really good content out there is Game Historian, RetroRGB, My Life in Gaming, and Wrestling with Gaming. If you're into hardware restoration then Retro Man Cave has a lot of content too.
Taking a left turn here, but how is it "easy" to setup solar? At the minimum you'll need a master electrician to sign-off on your install and might be hard to find after-the-fact.
Please forgive me, but how is this easier to use than make? I see a lot of these "reimplement tool X in language Y" projects, but what is the point if it's not actually solving the problem better. Just looking at the link it seems to resemble Ant which also started with similar design goals.
Unfortunately you have not provided a lot of examples to go along with your major complaints. I feel like at some level, every language will have its idiosyncrasies that create annoyances and issues. From what I can tell, you are describing concerns that would not void the use of Python entirely. These issues tend to increase with higher level languages as the complexity of the feature set expands and it become unreasonable to support every combination of every idea.
I don't know if you'll have better luck switching after making such a large investment in Python, but if you do find something to supplant it please document your experiences for other to learn from.
I would suggest starting by gathering data to show you CEO where you think you can make improvements. Sometimes just applying a standard processes is not enough to convince management of the benefits if they are not yet bought in.
I think it would help if they placed more limits on how much one person can interact with the site at a time. If you are someone that sits on SO for 8 hours a day every day, then there is a high correlation you become one of the people that starts driving new/casual users away.
I can imagine other improvements but all would hurt the site popularity in the short-term. Enough that I doubt SO would ever implement them. This is probably at the core of why the reputation for SO continues to worsen over time.
Hopefully they can turn it around since the core features of the site are invaluable.
Spot on regarding price comparisons between brands. The cost difference is really not significant over life of the device, and in historical context of computing power per $. I get that maybe the MBP is not bleeding tech right now, but fit and finish is well above all others, and the larger user base and local support stores means the consumer experience is hard to beat.
BTW, I must be one of the few that actually like the new (non-touchbar) keyboard. The only thing I would change are the arrow keys.
Can we talk about how terrible the config/ordering experience for an X1 is compared to Apple?
Why does Lenovo (and Dell) make it so difficult to actually buy an X1 without being a product expert? The shop page has 6 or 7 base configurations that all can be customized. To me, this is a really good sign they are not consumer focused, but instead catering to the direct enterprise buyer. Someone who is more willing to spend hours deciphering the subtle difference between every configurations and go through multiple customization flows to find some ideal configuration for a large multi-unit order.
Can someone explain why it's so hard for PC companies to move away from this purchasing model when the simplified Apple flow is generating 10x or more sales directly to consumers.
