You might want to check out audio processing on Linux with a (soft) real-time kernel. The choice of plugins is limited, but it is reasonable to run a 5 man band (including three guitar amp modelers and voice processing) at 2.8 ms (internal)

Not OP, but I guess his point is that all those things are either accessible from the command line (linting) or available as plugins from vim. As an additional point: I've been working on a "polyglot" project for some years n

Then there is the class of people that just don't stop talking even if you physically leave the room. I know two of those, so statistically speaking either I am an extreme outlier there or there are a lot of those out there.

Counterpoint: I regularly go 40-50 km/h on my (not e-)bike on a downhill rural road (40 km/h speed limit) and drivers still feel obligated to overtake me.

I mean ... it is relatively clear why this is happening isn't it? Artists pay to promote their material, so Spotify needs an excuse to play "random/related" music to it's costumers.

I think (hope) that in Germany we are still using brick and mortar construction? Or at least some modular wall elements. At least I have not really seen those rebar and concrete skeletons that are a common sight basically everywhere else.

Isn't Dwarf Fortress somewhat of a roguelike farming game? It definitely features farming (and crafting, and raising cattle and ... literally everything else) and has been called a "honorable roguelike" before.

I guess I was looking in the wrong places ... or the wrong construction. 20 mm thick sounds like it was only the core with more layers. In the end I went with some 150x4cm oak strips of varying width from the left-overs bin of a wood vendor
