I work in the film industry and can say, with certainty, that TNG was not shot with the same consideration.

Television back then knew it was being mastered for SDTV and the artists had a good idea of what it meant they could get away with compared to something that would be screened in 35mm. Final screening medium has always been the most important consideration, not capture medium.

Audiences have also gotten less forgiving of visual quality and less willing to suspend disbelief as the bar for quality has steadily risen. It means that shows are both working on higher definition target mediums and under more scrutiny than ever.

Like, I love TNG but go watch and tell me that it looks half as good as SNW.

Lol, Texas and Florida are doing a good enough job of knocking themselves down without help from me.

Except in a true free market zoning laws wouldn't keep adorable, high density housing from being constructed to artificially boost housing prices.

Other than that I agree with you.

I actually don't think that's the case for languages. Most languages start out from a desire to do some specific thing better than other languages rather than do everything.

Counterargument: I don't need Lemmy to have 100% uptime. It's not a corporate service and while -- obviously -- if it's down all the time I would eventually move on, I'm not going to fault a not-for-profit entity for periodic failures.

Compiled Rust is fast.

Compiling Rust is slow.

Also my understanding is that RustAnalyzer has to compile all Rust macros so it can check them properly. That's not something that a lot of static analysis tools do for things like C++ templates
