At the end of 2021, the three-year MALT project, working to rationalise the provision of software licences at CERN, ended. The important lessons learned from this project will now be applied across all related activities at the Organization.

The first 30 minutes is an Introduction panel with the first 5 names
in the Featured Speakers section.
Then there's a 30 minutes interview with Sir Tim Berners-Lee, where among other things he touches on Solid (https://solid.mit.edu/).
The last hour is a shared panel with the rest of the featured speakers on the impact of the Web on Human Rights, surveillance, privacy, etc.

In this podcast episode (https://reverseengineering.libsyn.com/014-ferrycast) they mention the dirtyPCB's service mentioned in the other comment and some other similar ones.
I'd recommend the whole podcast (Unnamed Reverse Engineering podcast) to anyone interested in hardware RE.

I own one 8XX model (~3 years old, I think) and can attest that "Roomba proofing" the spaces prior to operation and having furniture with high clearings and basic shape legs are kind of needed to prevent it getting stuck.

The original document by G. Bergenroth mentioned in the link provided by jeioncs is supposed to have a description of the original procedure. I don't know how/if you can get a document from the National Archives of the United Kingdom, though.
Edit: Link to the actual Archives entry: http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/r/C12056

That lap in particular was a coordinated team effort where Alonso's car was "launched" by his team mate drag effect in the first part of the circuit.
I would expect that the whole team was aware of the strategy and it was validated and given the go ahead before hand

It's not really necessary because as you say, there are other ways.
But it's useful if what you want to do is create a simple API to access your data. If your use case includes buildinga CRUD app, or API, you basically get that out of the box.
If you have several components/clients (in different languages) which need to access your database it allows you keep a common interface instead of having to work with different specific libraries/frameworks for each language.

Yes, we found the same issue. We worked around this by organizing our application (an admittedly basic REST API) in two layers. The external one exposed to API consumers, developed in a language/framework you may like (Python/Tornado for us), and the internal data access layer which uses Postgrest, and is only accessed locally from within the REST API application servers
