Good catch. Thanks!

Oh, cool catch! I had Smalahove as a link, so I must have noticed it was a food at some point, but I forgot to actually put the URL in. I didn't realize the connection to Voss, though.

Good call. I've update the post to reflect that.

Good catch. I've updated the post.

EDIT re: your edit: Wow. You're noticing things faster than I can update the post!

Interesting! I love how much I'm learning from this. Thanks for pointing that out, I updated the post to reflect that.

Matthew Butterick wrote a book about Racket (a dialect of Lisp) which has a great appendix that tries to explain why Lisp is worth learning:

There are lots of evangelist explanations for why Lisp is The Best out there, but this is one of the better and more concrete ones.

The most expensive configuration I can find for that size (111 sq m) is 327,000 GBP on the cost estimator: https://www.wikihouse.cc/cost

Maybe you put in 1200 sq m instead of converting from sq ft?

This may just confirm that your local library doesn't have what you're looking for on Libby, but if you have a Goodreads to-read list, you may find https://projecttbr.com/ very helpful. I used to comb through my list of books to read manually and had a hard time finding anything I wanted to listen to, but this site made it a pretty easy process.

Not a lot on there right now. I have a lot of ideas for blog posts and started a series porting a tiny C++ renderer to Rust (to learn both 3D graphics and Rust), but it's been hard to find time to continue with school and work. I'm trying to put out a new post before my next semester starts or gets too busy, but we'll see...

I built it kinda from scratch using Hugo. I didn't use any templates and wrote custom all custom CSS. The only JavaScript is a 2.3 KB Umami tracking script that talks to my self-hosted instance.

Interesting that the 2021 survey already has Linux ranked higher than MacOS. Makes this article's headline not nearly as interesting, IMO.
