The core77 site basically shuts down my browser after the page starts loading (Firefox on android), has anyone experience similar?
I'm curious what's going on, I basically have to force quit the app for it to go back to normal.
It loads fine using chrome on android.

What is the short term pain exactly?
Presumably short term pain for Ford from missing out on federal incentives they would've gotten otherwise

A good way to address this is to ask "why did the Roman Empire not have an industrial revolution?" Bret Devereaux already did a great job on this[0], but the short-ish answer goes like this:
Britain had basically been laid barren from trees (other areas of Europe had seen similar instances), but they still needed to heat houses. With firewood scares, and coal basically lying on the ground, particularly in Yorkshire, coal was an easy alternative.
And so Britain became dependent on coal for heating, but eventually the coal was not simply to be lifted off the ground, it now had to be dug up from mines. Mines weren't exactly a new thing, but these mines were huge comparatively, and the labour required was thus much larger than usual, and that informed the idea of using a steam engine to bring up the coal from the mine (after all, the coal was right there).

Just to clarify, the initial use for steam engines at coal mines was to pump out water. (Same source as above)

Agreed. All I want is to manage OS windows the same way I manage Vim windows where the content and the container are decoupled. Surprised nobody has made this yet.
musca is an X window manager that does something like this, where the tiling layout and windows are decoupled.

We have many of these where I live (at least 6) and contrary to what seems to be the prevailing opinion here everyone I know prefers them to the alternatives. Sure they can be confusing upon first encounter, but they are noticeably way faster than the traditional interchanges around here.
Off-topic, but
> I now have one and only one job, which is working on real estate mass appraisal valuation technology for the purposes of accurately and credibly measuring the value of land separately from buildings and improvements. This is the kind of straightforward, steady, stable, boring work that I need to support my family right now. It also conveniently lines up with my niche interests [Georgism and LVT].
Is there a link regarding this? I'd like to know more about this project.
Looks like this (https://www.valuebase.co/) from further up
I don't read GP comment as saying "Android is always better", unless there's something I missed?
More options is a good thing, nobody said a manual process was better than an app.

The article links to a presumably extremely specialised benchmark[0] with some surprising results. To me as a simple dev, at least:
Java (JIT) beats C++ and even Scala.
What is Julia HO and why is it so ridiculously fast?
The speed difference between Python and Pypy is massive. Is there any reason not to use Pypy? Shouldn't it be the standard?
Looks like the HO means hand optimized, with special datastructures for this benchmark.
