Erlang the runtime sure. But Emacs is an application with these properties. There is no editor like Emacs for Erlang (some small clones I am sure) and no other user application utilizing this feature.

Smalltalk is a development environment and an applications platform. The development tools are as extensible and user customizable as Emacs. And like Erlang it is also a runtime you can package software for. Any GUI or server software. For Emacs you can probably do the same, but I’m not convince many users would find the GUI familiar.

You seem to be conflating price increases with the money supply increasing.

That incentives not participating in the economy instead of participating in the economy.

It’s in the name. They are secure!

I already started manufacturing 100 shipping containers of left pad machines. Taking orders.

I have never heard of ”System 1” and ”System 2” thinking before.

Wikipedia implies it’s just some pop-sci (psychology even, so extra pop) book from a few years ago. A book heavily criticized for relying on shoddy science. Why are the terms used to describe anything by anyone trying to sound serious or scientific?

The author likes the look of the tradeoff made due to the limitations CPU power imposed on the rendering model for real time 3D games 30 years ago.

Yeah you can hack configurations or create your own game to mimic this look.

If you read the post you will see it’s not only about the texture sampling, but also the color depth.

OP picked a good headline. You are fighting for semantics nobody cares about, and picking a more complicated synecdoche.

Data is extracted from paying customers and sold all the time.

Sounds like a mess! How in that system will people get access to credit for things like buying fast food or books?

Node is old I’ll give you that. Dependable is debatable.

Yeah hopefully there is a bug. But negligence causing troubles for users due to useless anti features is not much better.

Disk space is there to be used.

Are these files particularly hard to clean out if your disk is getting full and you need the space?

Supply is severely limited and there is not really any competition making RAM chips, so it is kind of not a commodity and not a market.

But you are right someone will arbitrage the price, like scalpers selling concert tickets.
