Never again should these people be extended invitations to events, seats on committes, or even employment in our industry. They should be banished from the internet for pursuing self-interests at the expense of not just the rest of the internet, but the parts of it which represent charitable interests. An unforgivable crime.

All the VPN companies that are shilled by YouTubers are bad. NordVPN and Private Internet Access (and IIRC there was one before that as well) have both turned out to be garbage.

@kravietz That's interesting, thanks! I spent some time on their website and read https://www.ekioh.com/blog/improving-html-browser-layout-performance/ : "The CPU intensive operation of laying text out in paragraphs is particularly suited to parallel execution. On a page of text, nothing in one paragraph affects the word wrapping of the others, just their vertical position."

Now I wonder if #LaTeX and #TeX could also benefit from such techniques. I feel like they are all single-threaded at the moment.

There is the EU talk of Aral Balkan, @aral (https://video.lqdn.fr/videos/watch/861c07f7-7e9b-4e64-9765-cf1de592c8a0) and the first (?) academic publication by folks from Kings College London (https://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=3355572). Then there are introductory videos on the fediverse, like https://youtu.be/S57uhCQBEk0 Then there are introductory threads on Mastodon, such as this one from James Wilson https://mstdn.social/@jamewils/103136470926031216.

I'd say, join and see :-)
