Google has so much influence over the hardware manufacturers. They should do more.

Does anyone in the industry know why so much firmware is proprietary?

Reproducible builds reduce the need for trusted parties.

Have many organizations produce the binaries independently and post the arifacts.

Once n of m parties agree on the arifact hash, take that as the trusted build.

If every party reaches a different hash then we cannot build consensus.

Over-eating is not strictly a choice. Corporations spend billions on manipulating the public because it works. Regulation is needed, not willpower.

Success rate in that era was very low. There are thousands of movies from that time that no one cares about today.

Do you know of anything like AoC but that feels less contrived? I often spend the most time understanding the problem requirements because they are so arbitrary - like the worst kind of boardgame! Maybe I should go pick up some OSS tickets...

Can you explain this? Go has a very limited type system.

This assumes the boundary between Python and the native code is clean and rarely crossed.

I've never understood this. Python cannot be optimized like C, C++ or Rust. It cannot do advanced functional things like OCaml, Haskell or Scala. It cannot run in browsers like TypeScript. It cannot do games programming like C# and it can't do crazy macro stuff like Clojure. I don't think it's even second best at those things.

Sure, Python has types as part of the syntax, but Python doesn't have types like Java, C#, etc. have types. They are not pervasive and the semantics are not locked down.

This surprises me.

If you want the .NET ecosystem and GC conveniences, there is already F#. If you want no GC and RAII-style control, then you would already pick Rust.
