SXG[0] looks promising - allows signing (and subsequently caching externally) whole HTTP exchanges.

This may be useful for improving security, especially of CDNs. Binary Transparency seems to be one of the use cases mentioned in the spec[1] - perhaps someday this would be used for an unified scheme for signing application packages/updates, without reinventing the wheel every time.

I'm not sure whether it's comparable, but Chris Squire from Yes spent months "hibernating" in a hotel after a bad trip with homemade acid:

“I’d had lots of good acid trips prior to that. But I made the mistake of trying some acid some friends of mine had homemade. That knocked me back, and I did sort of hibernate in an apartment in Kensington and spent quite a few months — maybe as much as a year — just playing bass.”

Would be nice to have an option for different art pieces on different spaces as well. For example, I use 4 spaces on my primary display and 1 space on the external one and I'd be delighted if I had 5 different art pieces shown.

Probably he doesn't mean only JavaScript SPAs. The term was introduced around 2010, but the concept is older. Flex is from ~2004 and is typically used for SPAs which behave like the modern JavaScript applications - they just target the Flash platform instead.
