Both of the games are based on anime franchise, though. Even aside from that, here in Japan it is not uncommon for enthusiastic anime fans to throw multi-thousand $ for goods (including fan-made "doujin" items), live concerts of voice actors/actresses, travels to model locations and so on. I don't see any difference between their mind and K-pop fans'.

AFAIK original LISP is the oldest language with dynamic-scoped variables.

Although these were introduced as an implementation bug at first, and modern dialects (Scheme / Common Lisp) eventually replaced them with lexical-scoped variables, dynamic-scoped variables are still supported with different syntax in them (parameter objects in Scheme and special variables in CL.)

I'm not really sure why you would trust this claim from China.

Why not? While I don't remember what was the previous US's x86 cluster that ranked as top of Top500 List (RoadRunner in 2009?), China's Tianhe-3 and OceanLight are direct successors of Tianhe-2A and TaihuLight, which are once fastest and still in top 10. These seems more promising to me.

Not true. Glimpse editor wasn't just a fork with moderate name and logo. It had come with improved installers and some UI tweaks. And there was a future plan to complete overhaul for UI as Glimpse NX.

The reason for the project's stagnation was lead developer's departure due to request from their employer (Oracle, if my memory was correct).

And writing encoding-agnostic string library is harder than we think, I guess.

Notice that the first release of FORTRAN I is earlier than standardization of ASCII. FORTRAN was initially born for IBM 704 then ported to huge variety of machine architectures. So there's no guarantee on internal string representation; It might be EBCDIC, ASCII, or other ancient, machine specific encodings.

Japan's government sometimes promote their project as an research/development for new generation product, I've never heared any of such projects established a new global standard, though:

- According to JGSDF their latest Type 10 MBT[1] is world's first 4th gen tank, in spite of that its spec except software feature (like C4I capability) is virtually equivalent to modern 3rd gen tanks - Back in 80s MITI had invested over 50 billion yen into a parallel Prolog machine, labeled as a "5th gen computer"[2]

Incels are surely a byproduct of our society, not only the West but also my country (Japan) and other regions (so called "ethnicels"[1]), and a threat at the same time. They have already crossed the line. Violence, especially femicide, due to their misogyny and self-pity is not able to be justified by any words.

What caused them to exist is the threat.

I agree with that it is a threat and removing it is the fundamental solution. But we should also have symptomatic treatment for making the world of today safer.
