Any practical use cases come to mind? Could you actually interact from Excel cells with Linux userspace, e.g. running a cell's value through a bash script as if applying a formula?…

Does it scale for large monorepos? That's where CMake hits its limits. With tremendous effort we switched to Bazel, which has brought down configure+build times to less than 1/10.

Haha, true. I just recently wanted to make a quick and dirty page that would calculate the middle point of a bunch of coordinates and then show it on a map. After contemplating how…

I haven't experienced a downtime in many years. Was there an announcement of any kind?

My little Xmas project: Using BOINC client, nvidia-smi and a little bit of Python to turn my PC into a space heater, putting "free" electricity to good use.

I think this paper was actually written by a narcissistic bot.

Jesus quotes Göring in English in relation to a Russian war. Globalization prevails.

Heh, I've grown up with exactly these racks... Countless of hours hanging clothes on these. ;)

Except when restarting the services that rely on the certificate doesn't work reliably... but yeah, needs to be automated.

Nice write-up :) I'll probably adopt some of these fancy new tools like nginx or munin (that you call old) some day... still running good old Apache + php, postfix, dovecot, irssi,…

It would be interesting to have an estimate of the energy consumed (globally) by this Chrome/Chromium feature...

I ordered more Nespresso capsules during the last four months than I had during the last four years.

A motorcycle. Gave/gives me tons of fun, quality "alone" time, new friends.
