Breaking my Twitter silence because @junyer has passed away, and this is the site where he was most active. I know we had at least a few followers in common. There is a public memorial page of sorts at github.com/google/re2/issues….
sometimes my brain does a funny, and I don't realise what happened until afterwards, leading to such statements as:
ah, a nice tame SBC to add to my collection
Need Mind-blowing performance with superb power efficiency?
Look no further! Up to 80 Arm-Cortex cores!!

Sigh, I have killed another audio interface by mulching a connector ... nothing quite like ripping the traces off a PCB to ruin one's fun.
Australian legislation:
amendments are just patches,
explanatory memoranda are just commit messages.
having to hunt around for how and why Australian legislation has changed is an absolute pain ... wish this stuff was done such that you could just use some sort of `blame' mechanism.
dammit now i'm mad that DSSSL didn't win. imagine, for a moment, a world where the web stack was (SGML|XML) + DSSSL + Scheme.
(how the hell did the Synology software even work on this cursèd -1 NAS? it's struggling to run any normal filesystems I've tried...)
trying to cajole a NAS back to life ... it has a Supermicro X7SPE-H-D525 motherboard-and-CPU, which has a quad-core Atom D525 — so it can disappoint you four times as much! — and two gig of probably-DDR2 laptop memory
