If you are a game developer, a mobile developer, or are interested in learning new tricks to better debug your code, check out this latest release. I still think it needs a longer product name
Maybe work the build number, some random animal names, or the Lead PM's mother's birth date in there.

C++ developer Phil Nash contends Python is the best starter language, or a great second language for frontend and web developers. It's a BASIC choice

Which "designed" languages ever made great success?
Pascal was designed as a language for teaching programming. It had a few good years, not that many, until language(s) with not very much of a design took over.
DoD had a language designed for military systems. Rumors say that for the first five years of Ada being the only accepted language for new defense software, every single project were granted an exemption from this requirement.
CHILL, maybe one of the best designed algorithmic language that I ever met, was in use for its intended target usage - embedded software in digital switching systems - for a few dominant systems, for a few years. It never was marketed as a general purpose language; there is no good reason why except that the developers and users didn't care to. It never became any success.
Now if you come and say "But K&R C was designed by K&R!" - then you could say that any language is "designed", including Javascript. There is of course a thick, fuzzy line between "designed" and "scrapped together", but honestly, I consider both Javascript and C (including its derivatives) to lie on the same side of that dividing line, without even touching its fuzzy edges.

I agree for the most part. Languages designed by committee for wide use rather than designed on-the-fly by a small team for their own use.
For the most part, only the first few languages (such as ALGOL, FORTRAN, COBOL, maybe BASIC, not so much Assembly) would have been created in a vacuum. All languages since then have learned from the strengths and weaknesses of earlier languages and evolved -- such as CPL > BCPL > B > C.

Make no mistake about it, Ethernet in 2023 remains the foundation of all modern networking and is likely to remain so for the foreseeable future. But I have all this coax lying around

Ethernet runs over coax, just not as fast.

Ethernet over thinnet COAX is limited to 10 Mb/s. Ethernet over thicknet COAX is limited to 2 Mb/s.
I had the joy of designing networks using both.
|
|
|
|
|
The original ethernet was running on thicket, 3 Mbps (unless you insist on rounding down 2.94 to 2), but never commercialized. The first commercially successful ethernet were using thicknet on 10 Mbps (10BASE5). Thinnet, 10BASE2 came several years later.

I wish some hardware expert (I am a software guy) would set up a table listing ethernet versions across and ethernet characteristics downwards, like cable technology, speed, signal encoding, plug type(s), network technology, physical medium access control, power delivery support, link frame details, ... indicating when support for it appeared and ended.
I guess one line in the table should be 'Marketing name', i.e. 'Ethernet'. That would give us at least one property to relate the thicknet ethernet of my student days to today's ethernet. I cannot really think of any other.
