In the case of houses, I would think in most cases there's less conflict between prettiness and efficiency, for things like furniture there's much less space for the aesthetics to make a given piece more or less functional or efficient. However the tension isn't entirely gone, Juicero and 'McMansions' spring to mind as possible counterexamples.

There have been very extensive changes since 2002, yep, such as a much improved interpreter, a JIT, a replacement of the original object memory format which incidentally supports faster become and most recently a new bytecode set.

Even broader is the one in the drafted repeal of the Fixed-Term Parliaments Act, the scope of (b) being particularly worrying - what exactly counts a related purported decision? 'A court of law may not question— (a) the exercise or purported exercise of the powers referred to in section 2,(b) any decision or purported decision relating to those powers, or (c) the limits or extent of those powers.'

By what metric of 'better'?

....JavaScript?

It would be even better if Kallithea or RhodeCode adopted the UI style shared by GitHub/Gogs/Gitea and friends. Then we could have the best of both worlds - good, well-known UI but with software that isn't as closely coupled to Git as some others are (and is lightweight with requirements)

For this area, my ideal world is one where both the BIOS and UEFI are dead, replaced by something that is inspired both by OpenFirmware and coreboot.

Assuming the tagged reference or capability system was built, wouldn't it need software to take advantage of it? If it's not actively used, no real point having it over more block pointer space - and I doubt significant amounts of software would use such a filesystem-specific feature.

Why?

It's not publicly owned but the market is way less dysfunctional than in the US - aside from the few fiber & cable ISPs, a single phone line allows you to choose from a reasonably broad selection of ISPs.

Python's a modern stack in any reasonable definition of the word. Just because it doesn't use $TRENDY_LANGUAGES doesn't make it 'not modern'.

If you're talking standards, then platform-specific advantages mean precisely nothing.
