Calling this AI slop would be generous. If we made a list of the things wrong with it we would be here all day. Nothing has an effect on redline RPM, you can create compression and turbo combos that would instantly grenade an engine, the preset “super car” has 200hp?
The only thing it illustrates is the authors lack of understanding.
I know this is about the Japan and not the US, but software patent law has been incompatible with traditional IP protection in the US for a long time and it really doesn't make sense in the current age.
I wonder if you think other OSes are any different?
TempleOS is the only thing that comes to mind that doesn't fit your description and it's not practically useful.
Any sufficiently large codebase is a mix of ideas and concepts implemented by different people with different priorities over a large timespan and if you can fit the entire thing in your head it's not very interesting or complex.
Python's packaging system is worse, but Javascripts packages / standard libraries are far worse than Python.
In python managing packages is a pain and there are too many package manager options, but for the most part there are good libraries, and chances are you don't even need one because the standard libraries are so good and mature.
In Javascript NPM is really all you need (even if yarn is a bit nicer), but you're gonna need to install 50 packages just to get a basic boiler plate app going and the quality of said packages is not always great.
I like the "gun to the head" heuristic but I would probably rephrase it to be something like "If you only had 24hrs to solve this or the world would come to an end".
The thing is the production was already artificially limited by the government. So as the article says one way to increase production is just to allow for additional production.
I feel like a lot of great programming talent has been wasted by very smart engineers who felt the pain of their current ticketing system and spent years building countless startups only to end up with something occasionally marginally better than Trac (2004).
I really love Neocities. I have used it to host https://www.makersatwork.com/ for some time and have donated to Neocities and participated in their Kickstarter campaign.
