Today's post will be a little shorter but coherent. In recent weeks, quite a lot has happened in the peri-technology world at the intersection of politics and business. I decided to look at and evaluate the actions of the protagonists of the headlines from my fully amateur perspective.

Today's edition will focus mainly on announcements from the Meta Connect, Microsoft Ignite, and Google Cloud Next conferences. With so many big players deciding to compete for attention, we came out with such an excellent themed summary.

Lots of Rust today - as we wonder (or rather - the community wonders) if this is the moment for it to completely replace C++. Aside from that, a new "The State of DevOps", the public launch of Dall-E, and controversy around Make-A-Video from Meta.

Just as last week, one big topic stood out - The Merge - this time, we'll go through some exciting announcements in the tech world concerning Linux, databases, and ML models. But before all that, a few current world events will unfortunately permeate our Weekly.

The star of the week could only be one - the years-awaited The Merge Ethereum. Before we get to that one, we'll address the security problems with Uber and Patreon and consider whether it's possible to make Workation from Antarctica.

Today we'll take a look at Git's internals and the low-level details of C++... to smoothly move on to Stable Diffusion and how it has delighted internees. And along the way, we'll take a look at Slack's new Pricing.

For all those who like-it-cheap, we have sad news... Today will also be about my visit to the vegetable garden and the new Kubernetes. And in the end, we will ask an important question: Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?

Should everyone have access to models like Dall-E, or are the risks too great, though? And what does the law say about this? In addition, news from Amazon (including a big purchase), regulation of algorithms by the Chinese + a great new repository for learning System Design.

We've been with you for 100 editions! In today's - anniversary one - we cover topics you know we like (processor market, US, China, DALL-E) and a new standard for floating-point numbers.
