You still need clear separation between frontend and backend (react server components notwithstanding), so nothing's stopping you from using Python on the backend if you prefer it.
Django with DRF or django-ninja works really nice for that use case.
Well... that's a valid reason. Why should I work with tool B when I prefer tool A ?

That's the "SPA over API" mindset we need to reconsider. A lot (and I mean A LOT) of projects are way easier to produce and maintain with server-side rendered views.
> And as the departing plane goes faster, doesn't the lift take stress off the runway?
Only for a short period between rotation and liftoff. Most of the takeoff roll is spent building up horizontal speed; the pilot doesn't command the aircraft to pitch up before it's ready to lift off.
You are half-right. Actually pilots push the stick forward to force the plane to stay on the ground until it reaches takeoff speed. If the plane would rotate naturally because od the air passing under the wings it would generate a lot of drag.
It's the same principle as walking on snow in normal shoes vs. snow shoes. Taking off is normal shoes, a lot of pressure concentrated at the very first part of the runway. Landing is snow shoes because it's distributed across more of the physical surface, and the plane weighs a lot less when it lands anyway.
Planes all start their take off from basically the same position and stress the whole runway, slowly lowering as lift increases, but at their highest weight.
And this is because pilots are trained to keep their nose gear on the centerline, and there are relatively few aircraft types in use which receive the "heavy" after their flight number over ATC. So wheels are going to roll over the exact same tracks repeatedly.
> pilots are trained to keep their nose gear on the centerline
Funily I was learning to fly at a grass strip and we were told to vary our positioning left and right on the runway for exactly this reason. In practice it meant that as we were taxiing to the runway my instructor would tell me “Today we are taking off left/right of center to avoid damaging the grass too much.”
I also like (old) .ini / TOML for small (bootstrap) config files / data exchange blobs a human might touch.

Re: PostgreSQL 'unfit' conversations.
I'd like some clearer examples of the desired transactions which don't fit well. After thinking about them in the background a bit I've started to suspect it might be an algorithmic / approach issue obscured by storage patterns that happen to be enabled by some other platforms which work 'at scale' supported by hardware (to a given point).
As an example of a pattern that might not perform well under PostgreSQL, something like lock-heavy multiple updates for flushing a transaction atomically. E.G. Bank Transaction Clearance like tasks. If every single double-entry booking requires it's own atomic transaction that clearly won't scale well in an ACID system. Rather the smaller grains of sand should be combined into a sandstone block / window of transactions which are processed at the same time and applied during the same overall update. The most obvious approach to this would be to switch from a no-intermediate values 'apply deduction and increment atomically' action to a versioned view of the global data state PLUS a 'pending transactions to apply' log / table (either/both can be sharded). At a given moment the transactions can be reconciled, for performance a cache for 'dirty' accounts can store the non-contested value of available balance.
Are you saying that Scott Adams was right and, say, white people _should_ avoid black people? Or are you saying that we shouldn't remember how awful people were once they die?
The man who fancies himself a modern-day Sauron (yes! [1]), who says “I no longer believe that freedom and democracy are compatible." and who wants to assemble a neo-theocracy by a wealthy elite does something.
This is the CEO of Palentir, one of the more dubious or evil companies out there
The stratification has become much worse the last few decades and the trend is not showing signs of slowing. This cannot be taken out of context of the larger going ons in the US and the world. People see the kleptocracy because they are so brazen they do it right out in the open
How does this make any sense in any context? An individuals actions can never have zero impact on others. The mass concentration of wealth in the hands of a few has an enormous impact on the rest of the population.
Considering that LLMs have substantially "better" opinions than, say, the MSM or social media, is this actually a good thing? Might we avoid the whole woke or pro-Hamas debacles? Maybe we could even move past the current "elites are intrinsically bad" era?
Yes please, lets move past the "elites bad" mind virus and finally turn our attention to solutions for the many, like cost of living and deteriorating public services. We have to trust the elites! Migrants are the actual root cause!
I hope you still have traces of critical thinking left to spot the sarcasm.
Tahoe is SOOOO ugly! The huge rounded corners are atrocious. The fonts look terrible. The windows keep snapping, expanding and contracting with no obvious pattern. Yuck.
And iOS's transparencies are disastrous. They make so much of the test illegible.
I also do not see much reason to do more than emit JSON on the server side.
