Don't focus on the specific exploit, it's a general issue: In order to be useful, your wasm application will likely have to be able to make systems calls, or whatever its equivalent might be on your particular host environment. If

Insufficient supply in winter times due to electric heating, mostly. Nuclear power plants are relevant insofar that they (in particular the older generation of power plants) are bad at providing energy on-demand. So while everyone worries a

Sure. It's not so much a physical limitation, but a failure of policy.

Even before the most recent maintenance period, there were problems: In 2019, French regulators had to ask industry to cut consumption by 1.5GW to keep the grid stable as utility frequency was dropping significantly [1]. That issue comes up

These are rare anomalies Note that partial shutdowns due to excessive heat happen regularly in France, e.g. in 2018, 2019 and 2022. The problem's been around for a while, see e.g. this article [1] from 2009 that also mentions the hea

Back in 2000, when Perl was riding high and 13 year old, Larry Wall announced "Perl 6". Rinding high is something of an overstatement: The Big Thing at the time was Java, and PHP was already chewing away at Perl's market sh

I would say that this part is also unethical. Agreed. However, it's probably covered by their terms of service. Same thing with the recent reddit kerfuffle. I'd have much preferred a Usenet 2.0 instead of centralizing global com

There is, however, quite a bit of precedent for bat coronaviruses eventually infecting humans, most likely through zoonotic spillover via an intermediate species (e.g. HCoV-NL63, HCoV-229E, SARS-CoV-1, MERS-CoV, SADS-CoV), and thanks to hum
