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.

The example using qsort illustrate how good was the lambda proposal for c23 that was rejected.
Lambdas can still be written using GCC extensions.

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?

If you care about the question more than from a purely curiosity standpoint, there is a difference tween “flesh” and “body” in (at least some) of Christianity. The “Lord of Spirits” (an orthodox podcast) has done an in-depth discussion on both the body of God and the bodies of humans, angels and demons. Just as an example, when Adam and Eve was expelled from the garden they were covered in “garments of flesh/skin” depending on the translation.
I do not want to start a discussion on Christianity, just to point to that there is a more subtle understanding in the church whether or not you believe in it.
Body could be 'subtle' astral/etheric matter.
Flesh is strictly physical biological matter.
Exactly. It’s also pretty clear from their faces that those men are nervous to be holding the cat.
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
Rellic [1] implements an algorithm that generates goto-free control flows (citation in README), which would be a significant improvement against what Ghidra/IDA generates currently.
Unfortunately it looks like the maintenance state of the pieces around Rellic isn't very good, and it's quite rocket science to get it building. It doesn't have as much UI/GUI as Ghidra either so it's a bit far from accessible right now.
What happens with code that uses lots of gotos(incl. computed gotos)?
To agree with the article author a little:
A modern $150 50mm f/1.8 at f/8 will out-resolve an older $1300 50mm f/1.2 at f/8, but holy poops, can that older design produce a rendering quality that is simply smooth and beautiful in an intangible way due to the lens designers' intentional tradeoffs.
If you find yourself making comparisons like this one, you're almost to the part of your photographic career where you may be about to start reducing the amount of gear you use, as you begin to find the tools that resonate for you.

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.
