Straight White boomers.

It can't be understated how much life sucked for visible minorities up until a couple decades ago if not a few years ago.

Depends:

For websites: Htmx + AlpineJs on the front end, ASP.NET Razor Pages and PostegreSQL on the backend.

For Web Apps; Blazor and PostgreSQL

America's two parties are Regressives vs Conservatives.

. 10,000 years ago is about when we developed agriculture, stopped roaming as much, and started writing in some form that could survive the millennia

This is bias towards a specific type of societal structure.

Lots of peoples with rich, complex and fascinating cultures continued to live successful nomadic lives for centuries past the introduction of agriculture.

In a 4-D chess move, by canceling everything with no resolution, they've made their shows not worth pirating by making them not worth watching.

I thought it was a balance between new shows getting better engagement than old shows, and contracts lasting 3 seasons, which required re-negotiations in favor of the talent. Basically a business model hyper-focused on subscriber growth metrics instead of subscriber retention.

I didn't have an answer for a very long time. Or more seriously, the answer was "the one that paid the most". I've run the gamut of popular languages, C, C++, Java, Javascript, perl, ruby, Python, Visual Basic, VB.Net, C# and F#.

But the last couple years it's really been C#. The pace of development on the language/runtime has really picked up with yearly releases. The features that are added and iterated on are expressive and intuitive. You can tell from the discussion posts on how a feature is being considered for inclusion is thoughtful and deliberate. It really feels like the language is in good hands.

Just wish those hands weren't Microsoft.

We can only assume this was all a negotiation tactic, where they start with an unreasonable position, and force devs to accept an imbalanced (but manageable) fee structure they would have rejected.

I say that, but I also assumed that is what Reddit was doing, but they went full steam towards stupid town, so ymmv.

Wild swings between the greatest trip you've ever had, and excruciatingly slow death.
