    If I recall correctly he was the boss of a team back wherever his company was. It kinda makes sense he would have knowledge of the dinos, but most of his team was kept in the dark to keep it from leaking.

    Still though you need at least a couple people on site.

    Everyone is ok with Python. It’s a reasonable choice that’s well known, well understood and doesn’t have a lot of negatives. There’s a million libraries for it so it’s easy to get started and add support for new things.

    I’ve never met a hobbyist developer who writes Java for fun. It lives in the enterprise world mostly, and not much else that I’ve seen.















  • I would counter that it takes significantly more power to provide someone with internet compared to a broadcast antenna.

    Google tells me a low power tv antenna broadcasts at around 2.3kw. I’ve deployed datacenters full of racks where each rack pulls more than that. Once you take into account all the networking gear between the server and the consumer, the internet easily requires more resources. Routers, switches and servers can be pretty power hungry.
