I had a similar case in a networks class where we'd designed a server and client with sliding window functionality and some other low level functionality. It worked pretty well but would sometimes lock up and we hadn't had time to look into why.

During the final demo in front of the professor it was going well enough that he saw it was working, then right as he was asking some questions about it, it froze up. We got through the questions and then I suggested we show something in the startup again. If the professor even noticed, he never said anything

Remember when he was pushing against pesticides a couple weeks ago? Guess what happened to that

Phillips Hue bulbs have been out for over 12 years and can still be used today using either their hub or a 3rd party zigbee hub with no server.

True, but they don't often break. That's like saying if the entire engine fails on an ICE it can be expensive to repair. It's true, but not something the average user will ever encounter

How are EVs more expensive to maintain? They basically just need wiper fluid and tires

I've never met someone who seriously considered that as a problem. It's mostly an excuse incels make when they get turned down for being too creepy

Right it was allegedly abandoned (though no evidence has come forward for that), then for some reason the hard drive was given to Rudy Guilliani? Does that strike you as a normal thing for a repair shop to do with private property?

Regardless, there was nothing really news worthy on the laptop other than seeing Hunter had a big schlong. There's no reason for the news to cover this more than a "huh this weird thing happened", but people that are susceptible to Russian propaganda believe it was the smoking gun in some vast conspiracy which meant Joe Biden shouldn't be elected. It was a poor attempt to try to do another Buttery Males scandal that worked in 2016, but most people didn't fall for it a second time.

That's a great example. Lots of people that ended up voting made Hunter's laptop their top issue because that was a big fake scandal that Russia pushed. Normally sharing private photos from a stolen laptop would result in criminal charges, but Republicans/Russians worked hard to normalize that in a last ditch effort to swing the election.

It's pretty well documented that Russia runs troll farms spreading propaganda and pushing messages - AND that people are listening to them. You can keep sticking your head in the sand or come to realize that there are people (no not everyone gullible enough to vote for Trump) swayed by Russian influence.

I guess they've scaled it back quite a bit since they botched the "3 day special operation" at the start.

Then moved to Berlin and won the war. Would be a bit premature to declare victory just in Dresden

That's a good example. If the allies had fire bombed Dresden and moved in to occupy the area, no one would say that they had "Won the war"

Berlin was the capital city though

That sounds more like a "low level language" or some weird gate keeping by someone that doesn't really understand modern programming

Sounds like you're confusing "high level language" with "Scripting language". Python is used in lots of large scale projects behind the scenes. Just because it's easy to develop in and frequently used in data science doesn't make it less a language

The main difference I see between a "real language" and "scripting language" is that the scripting language is executed through an interpreter. Python falls into a bit of a middle zone here as the main python file is typically interpreted, but included modules are compiled.
