<p>> Not to mention, that I really don't understand how IPs are supposed to be provisioned to devices on IPv6.<p>SLAAC is the only way that works across all IPV6 devices. In that mode, the router advertises the prefix and the device assigns its own address (prefix + its mac address).<p>DHCPv6 exists but is poorly supported. It sucks for people who like assigning IPs individually from an authoritative place (through static dhcp entries on the router). But people like us are "doing it wrong", you see? We must accept that in this brave new worlds an IP means nothing.</p>

<p>> Namecheap has been owned by a private equity firm for several months now.<p>Namecheap's cavalier attitude long predate private equity, let's stop blaming the evil financiers for everything. I'm sure it's going even further downhill from here because of it, but what happened to OP happened to others before as well and is par for the course when being a namecheap customer.</p>

<p>But what does bun bring to the table in that scenario? Why not interface with javascriptcore directly and skip the (unmaintained) middle man?<p>Bun provides the node standard library, I suppose, but you likely don't want it in a plugin system. Because the bulk of it is to deal with web requests, or to allow system-wide file/network/process access. So you're going to re-implement your own safe library anyway.</p>

<p>I disagree with your blanket statement. The vast majority of (commercial) PC games were never that small, even in the 3.5" heydays. Most games required 2-10 disks.</p>

<p>To me the spirit seems to be that it should run on your average Windows machine without any external dependencies and without a web browser.<p>Your average PC has half a dozen .net runtimes installed but likely not the correct .net version you want (yay), so to me it seems like it would be out. Same for the various C++ redistributables, better not rely on that unless you ship the DLLs you need with it (which I don't think you're allowed to do per Microsoft).<p><a href="https://2pgarcade.com/contest-144mb.html" rel="nofollow">https://2pgarcade.com/contest-144mb.html</a> isn't much more elaborate than the article unfortunately.</p>

<p>If the best someone can do within that 1.44MB constraint is a pico-8 game, then so be it. But I bet we're going to see much more impressive stuff!<p>Competitions for 16KB games exist. as well as 64KB. And likely everything between 0KB and 1440KB. It doesn't reduce the fun to have multiple tiers, in my opinion.</p>

<p>> Make -> ninja<p>I would disagree on that one. Ninja config might not be turing complete, but they're generated by turing-complete tools (usually cmake). Nobody writes ninja by hand, thus I would argue it's irrelevant!</p>

<p>> PHP doesn't suffer from that because there are barely any libraries for it.<p>You don't need many libraries in a typical project, because PHP is batteries-included and if you use a framework it does all the rest for you, that is true. But there are still hundreds of thousands of packages with billions of installs:<p><a href="https://packagist.org/statistics" rel="nofollow">https://packagist.org/statistics</a></p>

<p>PHP offers that safe API, though, and always has (prepared statements). The same one as all other languages.<p>PHP might seem worse than other languages due to a combination of factors:<p>- It's the most used one by far, even though few of us like to admit it.<p>- Old tutorials still come up during web searches, so "SELECT * FROM `table` WHERE id = $id" will still be written today.</p>

<p>Surely a PWM of 10,000Hz wouldn't allow for night sky photography. With full exposure it can already take minutes of hours to take a night sky a photo.<p>And it's usually recognized that 1,000hz is the bare minimum to spare sensitive individuals from symptoms, with 2,500 usually used for safety margin. Then you have to account for some jitter in the synchronized network so you're looking at at best a 1/5,000 exposure.<p>Is that sufficient to be worth the trouble?</p>

<p>> The night will still feel odd and "soulless" even with 2700k LED street lamps so long as they're still the absolute worst CRI.<p>What makes you say that the CRI causes the lack of soul? I'm not saying that you're wrong, but given that CRI is objectively better than it ever was now, why?<p>The sodium lamps we used previously had a CRI of 25-35. The absolute worst white LEDs we have have a CRI of at least 60.</p>

<p>Most fruit crops need 8-12 hours of darkness but it changes depending on which point they're at in their life cycle. 20 hours of light is usually fine during the initial stages, then they require 8-10 hours of darkness to bloom, then back to 18-20 hours of light during the fruit growth.<p>(I'm not a botanist or a farmer but I grow greenhouse veggies for fun)</p>

<p>So far accessing old storage media from 50+ years ago hasn't really been a problem. Reading old tapes and punch cards/tapes or even early hard drives is something that a single motivated hobbyist can achieve in a few weeks or months with a microcontroller and patience.<p>But it's more difficult to imagine that 1000 years from now someone will be able to read from a PCI-E NVME drive if the specs get lost along the way (ignoring for a moment that flash storage most likely won't retain data that long).</p>
