Watching the F1 Grand Prix at Monza, Italy this weekend, i was struck by how much the Parabolica resembles one half of the Circus Maximus.

Was just looking into some #vim history - I thought the key choices came from the Lisp Machine but it turns out it was the ADM-3A. ➕TIL that:
The Home key on the ^ key may have additionally led to the establishment of the tilde ("~") as the representation of the home directory in many #Unix shells.

Found a neat hack yesterday and got @duckdb.org installed and working in #PythonInExcel!
Still checking with the #Excel team whether this is kosher but working fine so far. 😁

FWIW I've settled on Hasklug (github.com/ryanoasis/ne...) for actual work. So clean! 💘

DepartureMono (github.com/ryanoasis/ne...) is also great for a retro feel and I find more legible on my screen. I could possibly use this for work. Probably going to reserve it for presentations and demos though.

I was wrong, it wasn't LSL that it reminded me of but rather the LucasArt SCUMM engine games like Indiana Jones ...

I just discovered GohuFont on nerdfonts (www.nerdfonts.com/font-downloads). Not sure how practical it is for doing actual work but it looks so cool! 😎
Feel like I'm playing Leisure Suite Larry on a C64 😅

#Excel TRIMRANGE 📈
Ever wished you could get a Dynamic Array reference to a range that resizes dynamically? Enter the TRIMRANGE function!
Unfortunately this is currently only available to 50% of users on the Beta channel😢
For those that can't wait I implemented it as a LAMBDA in Excel Labs.

Just this morning my 2 year old illustrated the mark-and-sweep algorithm. The diaper change routine I was running at the time got suspended as I had to sweep and collect all the wet wipes. Looking forward to him learning about RAII and automatic resource cleanup. #GarbageCollection
