One caveat is that the pico isn't so old that micro usb wasn't a weird choice even when it came out

You can at least buy USB-C boards from other vendors since they sell the rp2040/rp2350 separately. If you want wifi it gets a little more complicated unfortunately.

It's a bad thing if you want your language to be truly portable and be able to work on anything

It's surprisingly rare that it becomes a problem, but I've definitely been bit by it before when getting array keys, expecting them to be strings and doing === comparisons.

It kind of sound to me like you're surrounded by a lot of people who will tell you stories about kids, but only the ones who are having problems. Either because there's a selection that happened before they even encountered the kids (being a therapist), or because there's just no reason to talk about the ones that are doing fine (teacher)

I think contextually here what is meant isn't that liquid glass will exist for the next 1000 years, but that they are not going to do a rollback to the previous UI.

Yeah, sports betting is also bad. I guess polymarket casts a wider net, and the fact that everything is fair game means you cannot avoid hearing about it

I'm honestly not even sure if civil political discourse is desirable in times of radical actions being taken by the government. I almost think that's worse than no political discourse.

e: To clarify my point, e.g. you can't calmly disagree with whether or not it's okay to shoot people in streets, that diminishes it as if it was just a slight disagreement

I think their point was that beef farming has an enormously negative environmental impact, and we in the west in fact do overconsume meat. Though I think their point was to use AI with impunity, when I think we should cut back on our meat consumption a lot.
