But that will make links unstable - or OP needs to to turn ambiguous links into some dispatching view.

Color me a bad reader: what does this mean? The abstract pretty much leaves me in the abstract.

What about plantuml - covers a fair bit of ground!

I have a lot of praise for using Memray as part of working out some memory kinks in a codebase I’m working on. It allowed me to quickly iterate on some hunches and then enshrine the resulting memory savings in tests via pytest-memray.

Other spreadsheets solve this by updating references if you need to add more columns and rows (or at least they try). Is the additional complexity of the infinite grid something that customers actually need?

To combat this scenario, we only had build servers populate the cache. Clients were readonly to the cache, so they would benefit from anything that build servers had already built, which covered 95%+ of what clients usually had to rebuild.

Also release builds were excluded from caching, to prevent any form of poisoning there.

Gotta be one hell of a makefile.

Took me 5 mins to figure out what "Geometry Dash levels" are. Should probably link to the game and show an example screenshot in the README?

My room was next to said bathroom with rather thin walls, so I always appreciated the sound at least be a bit played down by the music.

Another side effect was that you always knew when the bathroom was in use (aside from someone forgetting to turn the light off, which you now had radio playing to remind you off).

My parents just had the radio hooked up to the same circuit that was driving the bathroom lights. You enter the room, turn on the lights and there was instant audio. Makes sense to put this into a product.

Good post to plug the documentary "Tim's Vermeer" ( https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3089388/), which is a joy to watch as they try to reverse-engineer the particular style Vermeer painted in.

my bad: meant multiline lambdas.

Both standard library and other libs make use of them, so you often can't just ignore exceptions.

Also agree on your point - I'm not saying I like exceptions, I like explicitly passing type-encapsulated results/errors more for clarity. Exceptions happen in a "second invisible lane" right next to the code you are writing, and for example aren't immediately visible when reviewing code.
