... deal with it then, if it even happens. In the meantime, embrace it in creative ways.

Abusing? Is it experiencing pain?
I don't believe you believe that. Why? because then you'd be the biggest abuser, enslaver, wouldn't you?
I also loved The Glass Bead Game, and Steppenwolf
We don’t have good enough contemporary global polling to confidently say that a majority personally supports the ICC.
However, I suspect you’re right that most people probably support the idea of the ICC but countries choose not to be part for a variety of reasons, other that “harboring war criminals”.
The following countries are not party to the Rome Statute, which is what established the ICC:
United States, China, Russia, India, Israel, Indonesia, Pakistan, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, etc.
Eventually: black hole.
The authors argue that rigid, goal-oriented planning and metric-driven objectives actively prevent true innovation and groundbreaking achievement.
> There's a roadmap to v1.0 on the repo's README - tl;dr there's a lot to do before we can get there, e.g. Expression trees, faster dev loops, threading, web workers, interop via libimport and globalization (opt-in just like NetWasm's implementation of timezone info).
Is your mental model to try catch up and stay as close to latest C# language features? Or do you think it would be more strategic to only support a (very strong and broad) subset of C# that harmonizes well with in-browser WASM? I can understand if you don't want to limit this to browser-based applications, in which case you want much broader functionality such as for server implementations.
I'm specifically wondering, since Microsoft provides two official ways to compile C# to WASM. That also makes me wonder, why should someone pick NetWasm over MSFT tooling? Is it primarily if you want to use C#/.Net but not tied to Microsoft? Or are there technical reasons too?
The zero-sum mindset that's de rigueur at the moment needs to die soon or the world that we'll inhabit is gonna suck.
Why did those not work out? Why do they think things will be different with NixOS?
I don't understand.
It was a pretty great interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HjurAWAr_nY&t=1601s
Because they are seen as at the forefront of the next revolution in society and they’re not adversarial towards the US government.
Bluntly: anticipated net huge positive for the US as a whole.
Tough problem, however it is notable that after SpaceX, there are now several other companies with similar plans, including Google: https://www.nytimes.com/2026/09/24/technology/google-suncatc...
One interpretation is they're all delusional. Another is that Musk showed the way and others now see it too.
Through Tesla and his prominent advocacy for green energies, you don’t think his doing that?
The people have voted.
Stated preference perhaps, but unlikely revealed preference.
Depends on context, but for a computer on which you're doing work, moving wallpaper is usually a net negative for usability while you're actively working, though the magnitude depends heavily on the animation.
The problem is primarily peripheral attention. Motions is a strong pre-attentive visual signal: your visual system detects it without you deliberately deciding to look at it. One a laptop where you're close to the display and spending long periods concentrating on text, code, documents, etc., any visible animated region around or through windows can create low-level competition for attention.
A good compromise is wallpaper motion during transitions or stillness during work.
Broader UI principle: motion should explain change, not create change to be noticed.
US life expectancy reached a record high of 79 years.
Peers sit at 82.7 years (countries like Japan, Switzerland, Australia, Canada, and Western European nations).
So the U.S. trails peer nations by about 3.7 years, a slight improvement from a peak gap of 4.1 years in 2023 due to recent drops in U.S. mortality rates.
