Calling this AI slop would be generous. If we made a list of the things wrong with it we would be here all day. Nothing has an effect on redline RPM, you can create compression and turbo combos that would instantly grenade an engine, the preset “super car” has 200hp?
The only thing it illustrates is the authors lack of understanding.
I know this is about the Japan and not the US, but software patent law has been incompatible with traditional IP protection in the US for a long time and it really doesn't make sense in the current age.
I wonder if you think other OSes are any different?
TempleOS is the only thing that comes to mind that doesn't fit your description and it's not practically useful.
Any sufficiently large codebase is a mix of ideas and concepts implemented by different people with different priorities over a large timespan and if you can fit the entire thing in your head it's not very interesting or complex.
Python's packaging system is worse, but Javascripts packages / standard libraries are far worse than Python.
In python managing packages is a pain and there are too many package manager options, but for the most part there are good libraries, and chances are you don't even need one because the standard libraries are so good and mature.
In Javascript NPM is really all you need (even if yarn is a bit nicer), but you're gonna need to install 50 packages just to get a basic boiler plate app going and the quality of said packages is not always great.
I like the "gun to the head" heuristic but I would probably rephrase it to be something like "If you only had 24hrs to solve this or the world would come to an end".
The thing is the production was already artificially limited by the government. So as the article says one way to increase production is just to allow for additional production.
Nobody seems to have mentioned the MySQL licensing kerfuffle that got it pulled from most main stream Linux distros. For some of us this was the nail in MySQL coffin at a time when Postgres was becomming easier to manage.
Facebook ads are like 90% scams. I don't even understand how any of them get accepted. It's also night and day difference from Instagram which is also owned by Meta, I don't get it.
For me it's more about lack of connection. My loneliest times are when I'm at home with my family, but we're just occupying the same space. If I actually make an effort to connect by sharing what's going on in my life or talking about the future then it's a lot more positive.
