Writing userscripts and CSS filters becomes more tedious each few years, especially mucking with dynamic DOM and complex frameworks websites tend to use now. WASM and obfuscated/minified javascript made "programmable web" impossible in practice.

Wikipedia is not a reliable source for anything that is remotely controversial or recent(as in last 20 years), as there always people who have agenda to 'correct the record' on something.

I just binge watched a dozen videos, this is probably my new favorite genre. The complexity and speed are on par with very fast electronic but far more pleasant(like classical orchestra). Are all such Black MIDI using only piano notes or this is just a stylistic convention?

Body could be 'subtle' astral/etheric matter. Flesh is strictly physical biological matter.

Well, the little tigers can be dangerous and hold pathogenic bacteria in their little claws. You'd be nervous too if that thing could claw at your eye at any moment. Plus they could carry toxoplasmosis and tons of infections picked up from street animals.

I'd play it safe and eat only natural sweeteners like inulin/stevia/xylitol. Gut microbes haven't evolved to expirience the whole array of artificial sweeteners.

It won't work: Left doesn't acknowledge the benefits of meritocracy. Right is anti-intellectual and suspicious of progress. There is no social movement supporting intellectual achievement: the public is focused on cheap infotainment and sensationalist science that is 'group-activity' such as "scientists from X find Y, due being funded for Z". Lone genius/inventor doesn't have such appeal as 'Big Science', which is actually collectivist mediocrity rewarding social climbers and salesmen: Academic science has to justify itself financially and 'discoveries' are usually coming from the above(Y found but funded for Z). In the past the idea of scientific progress was understood as necessarily, but today the status quo is more comfortable

What happens with code that uses lots of gotos(incl. computed gotos)?

Perhaps the older lens has more pleasing colors: normally absorbing a bit more of hi-freq(blue/violet) lens a comfy "orange sunset" effect and warm atmosphere. Modern digital cameras tend to be "colder" in color, with sharp blue/violet.

So does this mean chlorella can be mass-produced cheaper than crops? This would be a second "Green Revolution" if this scales up, it will free up lots of land.

I prefer the flexibility of computed gotos a GCC extension that is likely the fastest dispatch method outside of compile-time. With computed gotos, you can have arbitrary dispatch complexity and structure, interleave code(e.g./code1/ ;skip_label: ;label1: /code2/; goto *return_loc;) and use assembler-like tricks to reduce fast paths(e.g. switch off code segment execution or alter control flow on the fly)
