> I'm more drawn to the fact that the American government can greenlight this, even though it has global implications.

They only need to greenlight the launch, and radio-transmissions over the US.

As far as I know, there is no central authority anywhere to stop you from putting/keeping a satellite in a certain orbit. (aside from someone else moving it out of that orbit by force)

Space border laws aren't super-well developed yet.

Does npm or whatever package manager is in vogue not have a hack to make a "package" out of a URL pointing to some javascript? (even if someone has to write some automation to package every version from github, as it comes out.)

Although, this point is moot as soon as someone packages it for whatever package manager you use. No matter how hackily they do it. e.g. if there were a npm package called "auto-import-arbitrary-or-versioned-file-from-git-repo-or-http-url" that consolidated _all_ of your random single-file imports, that'd count IMO.

Key points, ripped straight from the website;

* Exxon Mobil’s been in the Dow in some form since 1928, but its tenure as the longest-serving component is coming to an end.

* On Monday, S&P Dow Jones Indices announced the largest changes to the 30-stock benchmark in seven years.

* Exxon will be replaced by Salesforce. Amgen and Honeywell International are replacing Pfizer and Raytheon Technologies.

You could probably get alright performance running in the browser using webassembly. No idea if anyone's working on anything like that.

I'm curious too. From a quick search, I found WebDSP, "A client-side DSP library utilizing the power of WebAssembly".

https://github.com/shamadee/web-dsp

> WebDSP is a collection of highly performant algorithms, which are designed to be building blocks for web applications that aim to operate on media data.

> The methods are written in C++ and compiled to WASM, and exposed as simple vanilla Javascript functions developers can run on the client side.

..On further reading, they have functions for video and image processing, but not audio as far as I can tell.

There's Glissando, "A web-based digital audio workstation using the web platform APIs (Web Audio, Web MIDI) and WebAssembly".

They mention "VST support", but I cannot imagine how that's possible from the web.

How did you find this comment?

> * Having a relatively big number of tabs (~600 in multiple tab groups)

I have found this extension[0] useful, for saving my machine when I leave too many tabs open. Just make sure to whitelist things you don't want unloaded. Like infinite-scroll webpages.

Thankfully, they saw this coming, so wikipedia's licensing allows you to re-host the entire site. Useful if they ever turn crooked.

Stack overflow has the same sort of setup, for the same reason. (though, that site is far more likely to die/get perverted)

The keyword here is "linking exception". It is a hack to sidestep the licensing problems caused by dynamic linking. e.g. If I encase gcc in java, and release gcc.class under GPL3+, but use it extensively in a separate proprietary java program, does that infringe on the terms of the GPL? Does providing copies of the two together, with a single installer make a difference?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GPL_linking_exception

Free PyQT does not have the linking exception (which would be lgpl); only the commercial version has.

Is there any way to get a GPL-compatible version of Sciter?

I couldn't tell, just from glancing at the website/github.

Last I checked, 888 still works on satellite, and most digital TV.

Nothing there, but a page 100 telling you that there's no teletext, but page 888 still has subtitles on it.
