This article is getting a lot of pushback from the SPA champions, deservedly so, but it makes some good points to. I can’t be the only one, but I myself am getting very tired of the amount of websites where I have to sit and look at a skeleton loading for way too many seconds, then the data loads and it looks nothing like the skeleton. There is an over abundance of really crappy SPAs out there. Sorry not sorry

I saw it in Dublin. No special tickets or long waits, IIRC. It's totally worth it, as is Trinity College.
I've also been to Iona! There was a bus trip through Mull (not that exciting) and then a ferry to Iona. There was some cattle land, but otherwise pretty undeveloped.
We were just there in October. There is a ticketing system now with timed entry, so get your tickets in advance. It’s reasonable. Like 10 Euro or something. We got there later in the day and it was sold out, but my fiancé was able negotiate her way in :) She loved it! The rest of the library looked really cool too.

Expensive horses take expensive breeding, training, and maintenance. You can get a good draft horse (one bred for real work) for not much. And "hobby horse" isn't just a fun phrase.
I just recently learned what a ‘hobby horse’ means (in the terms of a “fun phrase” as you say). So I’m dying laughing right now lol

I love nature documentaries so much! They are beautiful, entertaining, and informative. But this makes me wonder how many other ideas have they have mislead me on? Do we need to worry about nature documentaries being a type of propaganda?

My understanding is that it's simply historically fallen into the niche. Lua early on was relatively easy to embed in C codebases, making it a natural fit for scripting C (or C++) game engines and their editors. So many hugely popular game development tools are scripted with Lua at this point that it's somewhat breaking the mold to use anything that _isn't_ Lua in this domain.
Thanks that makes sense

Probably since you can embed it in other languages quite trivially. For instance, in C after about a dozen lines of code you can now pass around data into Lua and back to C and thus give you access to a scripting language with little fuss. It’s also a fairly small and simple language, so adding it in won’t add much more to the overall footprint of the project.
Interesting, thanks!
