emscripten - Compile LLVM bytecode to JavaScript, with loop detection etc. It's even usable to compile non-trivial C/C++ code to JavaScript.

If anyone wonders where I was - among other places, in Berlin.
where I was too - in Paris.

Multiplication is easier when it's complex - too early to read it all now, but it looks interesting.
Virtual internet lady provokes espionage in the USA | tagesschau.de - somehow only one comment fits here. Facepalm. And every comment about the weakest link in the chain is simultaneously strangely fitting and inappropriate.
