I had to use Adobe Illustrator for work (I am a big noob). Their curvature tool is much more pleasant than the pen tool for defining bezier curves. Is there something similar in the works (or already available?) for Inkscape?

(Also does someone know how that tool work to infer how to place the handles for the bezier curves?)

Take a look at switzerland to see how this could turn out :) (obligatory swiss patriotism)

Can someone explain how portability is still an issue? Are there no cross-platform API and libraries that allow developpers to write portable apps?

This is extremely niche. Compared to an helicopter you certainly get lower price, but you can't transport multiple medical personnel, cannot transport the victim, cannot transport heavy medical equipment.

I am not saying this does not have a niche, but it can only become mainstream for the transport of multimillionaires

I really hope this tech will never become mainstream. I cannot see any practical usecase for this except for the transport of a multimillionaire. There are usecases for smaller unmanned drones, notably for transporting medicine and blood quickly. But for the transport of humans it has all the downsides of cars times 10...

I always tend to have a bit of a depression everytime I finish a book that I was invested in. But in particular, White Fang by Jack London left me in shambles

I am failing to recognise if this is satire or not. Maybe my geography is too bad, but what waterway are you talking about? Israel is not strategically significant four the Suez canal, is it?

If all major APIs use SPIR-V, does it mean that it could become the ISA of some GPUs? Like that time someone made some hardware that executed Java bytecode directly?

I can't unsee it now :(

As someone who embraces "fuck cars", this happening is necessary and innevitable to transition to the world I would like to live in. I hope that the people working there won't become homeless and stuff, that they find new jobs and that the money saved by not centering society around cars can be put to better use.
