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.

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 had that working for the last year or so, for the exact same reason. But for a few weeks now my wine'd Chrome can no longer access any page, as if it can't access the network or something. Tried reinstalling it, but that didn&#x

Love it so far, but I have some big questions regarding mobile experience and downsampling... maybe I'm just using it wrong?

I believe the introvert/extrovert divide also plays a role here. Some people in general can't be alone or they feel their energy is draining (extroverts), whereas others - I guess those who love to dine alone - feel their batterie

Wow, it's still alive. I remember when, as a student, I ran the shared apartment's DSL Router with fli4l from a floppy disk in a Pentium 90 for a while. I think the Internet connection was 768kbit/s downlink and we considered

As a person who has lived in China for nearly a decade, I have experienced racism first hand there. But actually it was, 99% of the time, racism that favored my white skin. Wherever I (or any other white foreigner I know) went, I had instan
