Also interesting is the Citigroup Center building in NYC that almost suffered a catastrophic failure after construction completed in 1977.

> Due to material changes during construction, the building as initially completed was structurally unsound.

I've been watching all of Modern Vintage Gamer's content for about 9 months now. This guy puts out some really nice videos with high production quality. There was a great video about game disk copy-protection a few weeks back. Awesome stuff, and very well researched.

Some other really good content out there is Game Historian, RetroRGB, My Life in Gaming, and Wrestling with Gaming. If you're into hardware restoration then Retro Man Cave has a lot of content too.

The DF Retro series on the Digital Foundry channel is great too.

And RetroAhoy on the Ahoy channel.

Taking a left turn here, but how is it "easy" to setup solar? At the minimum you'll need a master electrician to sign-off on your install and might be hard to find after-the-fact.

Parent is probably talking about some sort of solar lease where you get paid/receive electricity for providing roof space to install the panels on but you don't actually own them.

I have a Rock64 NAS box running an RK3328 chip.

Please forgive me, but how is this easier to use than make? I see a lot of these "reimplement tool X in language Y" projects, but what is the point if it's not actually solving the problem better. Just looking at the link it seems to resemble Ant which also started with similar design goals.

I'm not sure about task but I use Just [1] - it's similar program. It's nice way to collect commands you often run in given project.

Make is build system, with strong focus on building C program. It has clunky syntax and many quirks. Just is just taks runner ;)

Or just use pip-tools to automatically update dependency versions.

Unfortunately you have not provided a lot of examples to go along with your major complaints. I feel like at some level, every language will have its idiosyncrasies that create annoyances and issues. From what I can tell, you are describing concerns that would not void the use of Python entirely. These issues tend to increase with higher level languages as the complexity of the feature set expands and it become unreasonable to support every combination of every idea.

I don't know if you'll have better luck switching after making such a large investment in Python, but if you do find something to supplant it please document your experiences for other to learn from.

"If you can’t measure it, you can’t improve it."

I would suggest starting by gathering data to show you CEO where you think you can make improvements. Sometimes just applying a standard processes is not enough to convince management of the benefits if they are not yet bought in.

>I prefer hiring people in their 30ies.

>I’m not sure ageism is really a big problem though.

I'm not sure you can put both those statements together without sounding uninformed.

Its only ageism when other people do it.
