Even Nano Stores got rewritten in Rust! github.com/yaroher/nano... Seriously though, it’s an interesting experiment for connecting JS and Rust stores, for example, to speed up performance-critical parts when you’ve moved your app logic into Nano Stores.

After fascists won in Spain, “exilio” (“exile”) disappeared from some dictionaries. The regime avoided it publicly. “Emigración” suggested simply leaving; “exilio” implied coercion and the regime’s responsibility for forcing hundreds of thousands out. www.peterlang.com/document/119...

A guide to Silicon Valley ideology: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TESCREAL I think it misses a key split: by the late 2010s, their faith in people’s ability to cooperate had faded, and the ideology shifted, even though they design the platforms that made cooperation harder.

The famous 1995 Ghost in the Shell anime was very different from the manga: the manga was funnier, lighter, and much more sexual. The new 2026 series, which just wrapped up yesterday, feels like the most faithful attempt yet to capture the spirit of the original manga.
