Wonder whether the popularity of the president will follow a similar pattern as in France, trying similar idea ... ?

I built personal webpages in the 1990s, and still do it now, I included javascript then, and still do now - to make calculations, show interactive graphics, quantitative stuff about climate change - see for example this model.
I get your concept, that more websites should be written and hosted by individuals not big tech - but javascript is not the essence of the problem - js is just calculating stuff client-side for efficiency. In theory big tech could still serve up personalised algorithm-driven feeds and targeted advertising, just with server-side page generation (like php) and a few cookies, would waste more bandwidth but no stress to them. Whereas disabling client side calculations would kill what i do, as I can't as an individual afford to host big calculations on cloud servers (which is also technically harder).

I use vscode as I develop this model in Scala3, whose language-server 'metals' integrates well with vscode, and when scala3 was new in mid-21 this was the platform they first targeted. But the scala command-line tools do the clever analysis, vscode provides the layout, colours, git integration, search/regex, web-preview etc.. Now considering other options (eg zed) as vscode too dependent on potentially unsafe extensions (of which too much choice), also don't want M$ scraping my code. Long ago when same model was in java I used netbeans, then eclipse. Would prefer a pure-scala toolset.

Mais - j'essais comprendre n'étant pas français ... - si les ministres auraient été remplacés par leurs suppléants, le résultat aurait été ± la même, n'est-ce pas ?

Thanks, fixed! As you can see parts of the science code are already accessible via the 'cogs', but not yet the structural code - anyway keeps evolving, update soon.

Note that Knesset has 120 seats (not obvious from the article). (also, of course, a large fraction of people between the river and the sea don't get to vote for any of its seats)

Similar - I thought about codeberg for the source of my interactive climate model,
but am not yet ready to give it a pure-foss license - might split in parts with different licenses. Could try self-hosting.

Useful insight, especially country-specific part, thanks for link. Coal is still too high, but maybe we should look at seasonal usage, not assume 'operational' = always on. For example in China, they might be keeping excess coal capacity for occasional use during extra-cold winters ?

Reminds me of time when, during the Beijing olympics, the sky miraculously cleared of smog and turned blue - showed what they can do when it's a priority, but didn't lost long.

I develop this interactive climate-system model in scala.js - instead of standard tests, after each code change i just look at the circle of plots and see all look and behave (react to adjustable parameters) as i expect - the rotating cogs are also clues as to what recalculated and how long it took, and link to relevant code. Such development is a very visual process, although still much to improve.

OK great, but super-rich are also super-slippery when it comes to escaping taxes by moving assets abroad - so we need a global agreement about this - what's the process to make it happen ?

Good analysis. Instead of blobs for one year, try also plotting energy use/capita vs income/capita (same axes) changing over time - you see how the curves bend.
