I didn't think the horse was still intact enough that you could find any hide.

Ugh. I hope that there being a use for the little bastards now doesn't make people breed them on purpose.

Python and Ruby have both had various repo issues too.

I've never heard of anything similar with Perl, but that may partly be because applications for new developers who want to join CPAN still appear to be processed by humans, with up to a couple of weeks lag. The time inefficiency plus the language being less popular probably makes it an unattractive target.

There's nothing wrong with ARM. Qualcomm, on the other hand . . .

A quick search shows that squirrels have quite good vision at short to medium distances (up to ~10m) during daylight, with a wide field of view (common in prey animals) and excellent depth perception. Their colour vision isn't up to human standards, however, and their night vision isn't that great. So yeah, they'd have a clear concept of the distance and direction to the next tree branch or a nearby cat as long as the light was good.

In the worst case? On ebay, as a "For parts/not working" model with a reasonably intact exterior. Might take a bit of patience.

Actually, it's an extinct genus of land snail. Really. Wikipedia told me so.

It isn't just annoying, it often breaks for people on less-popular browsers. Plus, it requires you to run Cloudflare's Javascript. You think this outage was bad—what do you think would happen if someone slipped them a bit of malware?

Conditions on freeways are usually more controlled than conditions on surface-level roads, and Waymo's accident record isn't bad, unlike Tesla's. I suspect that this isn't going to generate any post-debut news stories of much significance. (If something bad and avoidable does happen, though, Waymo is 100% accountable—no handwaving it away.)

As with all the other alternative browser-related projects, I wish them luck. It isn't easy just keeping pace with the details of current standards documents for rendering webpages—climbing up from zero (even if they've already made considerable progress) has got to be even more difficult.

For what it's worth, Pale Moon can still be built for 32-bit Linux ( fish through contributed builds, or build your own). Sufficient for many, many sites, although a few will break or require workarounds.

"Artificial Intelligence" doesn't actually want anything. It has no agency. Meta/Facebook wants to sell you stuff while the world burns, but that's nothing new.
