Loved the Amiga. Great machine.

If the argument that Doom killed the platform is valid, it can only be true for gaming (which was a very large portion of home use). After a great headstart, Amiga fell behind in many other areas: business and productivity software, networking and collaboration, multimedia and realtime-3D graphics.

And regarding gaming, let's not forget that the SNES and the Sega Megadrive/Genesis were going strong when the Amiga was fading away, and it took a while for them to get a version of Doom.

I think the apparent contradictions here can be explained quite easily: Apple cared about design, and Microsoft did not.

Looking back from an era in which Apple's sensibility has prevailed, it's quite hard to explain the extent to which Microsoft, at least until the late '90s, really didn't care whether their software looked good. They genuinely didn't see it as important.
Sadly not. But between 1.5x and 1.7x a lit of things changed, especially around traits and there is clippy which actually helps. So our functions barely need lifetimes anymore.
It is unlikely that they will be affected.

The conclusion does not influence the total amount of protein that you should eat daily for increased muscular mass.

It just says that there is no need to spread the proteins over 4 or 5 meals per day.

Even if you eat all proteins during a single meal, the effect will be the same.

For instance, if you practice time-restricted eating, that will not conflict with the desire of increasing or preserving the muscular mass.

Moreover, proteins that are digested more slowly seem preferable, and this favors the natural sources of proteins, not those more processed, like in supplements.
Well the kicker here, is that the process is not inefficient. It's just efficient for someone other than your average person. If anything, for the people that care and can do something about it, the process is inefficient in the opposite direction -- it's not bleeding as much money from the consumer as it could be.
You’re focusing too much on the defaults. There’s nothing stopping a third party from capturing or building a bunch more scenes and selling them as an app. Probably as a subscription. I’d be surprised if there’s not someone right now trying to make or repurpose a procedurally generated forest.

Yes, I sometimes test on Chrome. And I have also implemented JavaScript workarounds because Chrome still cannot handle a plain <table> with 750 rows where each row has a 120px image thumbnail and some text columns without gobbling up gigabytes of memory and/or freezing on weaker machines.

I agree with you that both Chrome and Android work quite well in general. But that doesn't change the fact that some of the design decisions have aged badly:

"Chrome is still the king resource hog on macOS"

"In previous tests, which included a lot more tab switching, and no WebGL and media consumption, Safari was using 10x less than Chrome"

9 years ago, I myself also shipped apps that were rendering the GUI exclusively on CPU because it's just so much easier to get things to look 100% identical everywhere. But nowadays, those apps are either pixelated or feel sluggish even on modern Macs because Retina displays have easily 4x-ed the number of pixels that need to be drawn. But single-threaded FLOPS has not 4x-ed since then.

To add to that, environmental opposition to a Soviet mining project was actually a key trigger for the Baltic independence movement (hence, in part, the dissolution of the USSR),

- "The Phosphorite War (Estonian: Fosforiidisõda) is the name given to a late-1980s environmental campaign in the then-Estonian Soviet Socialist Republic, against the opening of large phosphorite mines in the Virumaa region[...] In Estonia it is regarded as a catalyst that led to the destabilization and dissolution of the Soviet government in Estonia.[3]"

That's a good idea though. The main idea, since it is a golf wiki, is to provide tournament services to clubs.

Re async not being there from day one, this is indeed a big problem. it resulted in certain painful technical compromises (eg Pin) & probably at least ans importantly resulted in cultural / educational issues.

Someone should start a SaaS that just automates this process.

Thinking about it, the only moderately difficult part would be compiling a list of small-claims courts and understanding the different paperwork each one requires.

After that, the whole thing could just be a single page with a few form fields (email, insurance company info, upload purchase receipt), a credit card form for the SaaS to collect its fee, and an API integration that uses one of those physical-mail APIs to send out the paperwork.

We know what the rates of failure are. We know that studying hard does not guarantee success and what the level of risk is.

We have no idea how many people tried to do the same thing as highly successful businesses and failed. We know that luck or resourced (initial funding, contacts, timing) not available to most people have played a part in many success stories. We know that things could have gone badly wrong for them (e.g. Richard Branson's family had to put up a lot of money including a £70k fine to avoid a prosecution for tax dodging). We know that the rate of failures in businesses (especially ambitious high risk high high risk high reward ones) is far higher than in medical school or law school.

Mary-Kay Wilmers Became Britain's Most Influential Editor (2019)
A lot of older computers were "bit-serial", i.e. the ALU processed "bytes" bit by bit. This, along with how every part used to make computers was also 1bit (because VLSI wasn't a thing yet).

MIT Whirlwind is in some ways ancestor to all modern computers by switching to bit-parallel architecture with multiple bits being handled at a time.

36bit word length became common for scientific applications because it was apparently considered enough to do equivalent of 10 digit precision in fixed precision arithmetic, thus common pattern of 36 among American scientific computer lines.

Later common availability of 4bit components like 74xxx families meant that multiplies of 4 bits started being common.

4bits also allow to handle calculations in BCD form, which had obvious use cases in businesses, which is partially why S/360 which attempted to consolidate IBMs scientific and business lines went with 32bit word length - 8 bit was comfortably 2 BCD digits and also would fit one character of then-upcoming ASCII standard (the reason EBCDIC survives in S/360 is that ASCII was not yet ready and IBM decided to extend their existing codes instead of taking unfinished standard that could change - and they had to hardcode it in some devices back then)

The final nail in 36bit and longer word lengths was floating point becoming fast enough - and arguably infighting between VAX and PDP-10 groups at DEC which among other things triggered existence of BSD Sockets API and their horrible legacy on networking.

> Pretty much all performance-sensitive code is written in C#.

I think you’re exaggerating things a lot here. The JIT/ILC and the GC are hugely important, complex, core pieces of C#. The performance of the entire .NET ecosystem is rooted in the well written (and well performing) runtime and GC. And there’s not a lot of languages those pieces could be written in. That’s the sort of niche in which rust shines, enabling C# itself to be a great language for applications.
