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!


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.


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


Yet Another Better Barrel Attempt (YABBA)


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


The low spec target seems pretty important.


I’ve had decent results running jetbrains IDEs from a Fedora Toolbx, probably doesn’t have to be fedora though. You just have to start them from a toolbox terminal.


There’s a flavor of bazzite made for developing now, Bazzite-dx


There was a lot of work done behind the scenes to make sure that all those systems still worked. Probably too much, but it did work.


Home button? Where? I don’t see one.
Do you mean the navigation bar at the bottom? That can be changed in OS settings.


This was more like leaving all your valuables in a cardboard box on your front lawn. Anyone can just take it, if they care to look inside the complete unsecured box.
Someone just drove up and tossed the box in their truck. No lock involved.
That’s a pretty good beginner project. More characters, more stages, and more gimmiks leaves plenty of room grow, but still something to be proud of early.


Plasma lets you pin any window to be always on top (short of fullscreen apps), and you can set up rules to automatically set that behavior for any pip window.


Seems like Cromebook mode to me. There’s a niche of super light interchangeable tablets or notebooks I could see that working on, but nothing MS makes is light except the theme.
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.
