A lot of which are Sino-Portuguese from Macau that moved (or their families moved) after Macau was returned to China...

Learn to read Spanish already…

"Drops" feels like too strong a word, given that this is merely a switch from one default to another.

So… What’s the magic? (In theory, interpretation/emulation and compilation should produce identical behavior.)

The magic is that now you can modify the source code of the game and recompile that.

Folks have been optimizing SuperMario64 to run much faster on actual N64 hardware. And, there is a project that has ported it to run on the PlayStation 1. That’s much weaker hardware that has no hope of emulating the N64.

Now I'm confused

Using Sixel graphics.

(and also kitty protocol)

Image support has been present in numerous terminal-mode browsers for many years if not decades, generally implemented through the framebuffer, though in some cases the browser will spawn an external image viewer (presuming a graphical environment, e.g., Xorg / Wayland).

A.k.a. "terminal-based"

No CMake support (VSCode, emacs, nvim all have it).

Is SQLite hard to use?

Oh, SQLite (as a database) is easy compared to a client-server database, or an "embedded" database that runs in a separate process.

The issue is more of the object-relational impedance mismatch that happens when using any SQL database: ORMs can be slow / bloated, and hand-written SQL is time consuming.

I shipped a product on SQLite, and SQLite certainly lived up to its promise. What would have been more helpful was if it could index structured objects instead of rows, and serialize / deserialize the whole object. People are doing this now by putting JSON into SQLite. (Our competitors did it when I looked into their SQLite database.)
