It's worth mentioning that the initial version of this didn't use WebAssembly. Bellard literally implemented i386/PC emulation in pure JavaScript (ES5) back in 2011.

Why should Google let Tamil ethno-nationalists like Thenmozhi hold a talk?

A lot of research into the genetic history of the Indian subcontinent seems to be from the late 90s and early 2000s.

Is there a reason it has stopped? We have gotten a lot better at genetic anthropology since then but for some reason there is very little new research on the genetic history of the Indian subcontinent.

Maybe it's time for the rest of the world to do sustainable rare earth metal mining or end up being more geopolitically subjugated by China and Russia.

>Your X is a shit and it crashes every second?

Companies that repeatedly fail to detect and solve this type of problem using automated testing and QA are exactly the companies that lack the sophistication to do distributed microservice architecture.

Learn to do proper CI/CD, end-to-end testing, and logging/metrics on your monolith before you decide to transition to microservices.

You're probably correct if you don't consider Southern Europe and Eastern Germany to be developed.

In the coming years we will probably see a lot of complicated microservice architectures be replaced by well-designed and optimized Rust (and modern C++) monoliths that use simple replication to scale horizontally.

As long as I have been browsing the English-language Internet the overall mood among Americans has been that the S&P500 and US dollar hegemony will collapse in a month.

Why is that? I'm European but the US doesn't seem too different from most of Europe in terms of stability and the risk of unrest.

>Reddit has a whitelist of a handful sites

That is not true. I have submitted plenty of links from new domains (side projects) to reddit.

I think Rust/Cargo does this to warn against bad words being used as identifiers.

A1111 did the following things:

- Made a mod removing all non-white characters in a video game.

- Put black people and artists who draw black people in a category/folder called "n".

- Is allegedly also anti-semitic but I don't think the "((()))" thing is proof of that.

I don't think there is anything Micro$ofty going on. Just a racist being banned.

OpenAI was conceptualized and founded in 2014/15 to avoid AI being dominated by one country and one company (Google).

That is no longer the case. OpenAI should change their misleading name but it's worth remembering that their original mission statement has been fulfilled by OpenAI, academia, Chinese/European companies alike.
