IndustrialRobot has generously donated in order to inquire: In the last few years there seems to have been a lot of activity with adding emojis to Unicode. Has there been an equal effort to add ‘real’ languages/glyph systems/etc? And as always, if you don’t have anything to say on that topic, feel free to choose your own. :p Yes.

Ich hab ein Video gestern gesehen, wo es um die Domain afd-aichbach,de ging. Diese möchte die AfD gerne haben. Und hat nun den Besitzer von der Domain verklagt, der Besitzer ist ein Freund von dem Youtuber Hey Wolfi.
Das ganze fing schon im jahr 2020 an, das was da abgeht, ist echt komisch.
Jedenfalls haben die wohl einen guten Anwalt und sie wollen durch alle Instanzen gehen, bis zum bitteren Ende ..
hoffe das beste, damit diese braune gezocks die Domain nicht bekommt ;D…

GNU Recutils
Fred and George, Turtles in love There are hundreds of cool command line tools that have been made over the years built on the unix philosophy. Plain text is powerful, ubiquitous, and human-centric. It was also the only option for computing for quite a while. It’s no surprise that some of the most sophisticated tools are focused on it. One such package is GNU Recutils, a set of tools and libraries to access human-editable, plain text databases called recfiles.

MLIR: A Compiler Infrastructure for the End of Moore's Law
This work presents MLIR, a novel approach to building reusable and extensible compiler infrastructure. MLIR aims to address software fragmentation, improve compilation for heterogeneous hardware, significantly reduce the cost of building domain specific compilers, and aid in connecting existing compilers together. MLIR facilitates the design and implementation of code generators, translators and optimizers at different levels of abstraction and also across application domains, hardware targets …
