Firefox 85 cracks down on supercookies

I've worked with python 17 years. I've taught python, javascript and typescript. There is a universe between how accessible JS is vs Python.

And TCPIP may have helped but just because it's essential part of the stack doesn't mean the remote learning could have happened without JS existing (in the time it did). The web would be a glorified FTP server if some people here had their way.

As a Python programmer myself I’m curious, what’s the difference?

Your language interpreter comes built-in with your computer

So "Download pycharm" is enough of a barrier that it creates a "universe of difference"? I find that hard to believe.

Yes, it is. You’re missing the step beforehand which is “know that you can download PyCharm.”
