I forgot scheduling this post, but it is still very relevant: about the debugging related materials by b0rk (Julia Evans) as they are not limited to just “The Pocket Guide to Debugging”.
It is excellent material to learn at home, work or be used during education.
Before the Elmo* takeover, she mainly used Twitter to post beta material and later the final versions. Easiest queries to find back the Tweets are:
Here are some of links found via the above lists of tweets:

Given Excel is the most popular functional language (see the video under my post “Everybody should have an obsession with Lisp-like language at least once in their life” @KevlinHenney), this post is on sorting with Excel functions.
I had an array in Excel starting at row 2 (to exclude the headings) where I had to sort on 3 different columns: C, A, B (or numerically 3, 1, 2) so [Wayback/Archive] sorting – How to multi level sort an array in excel, using formulas? I am aware about the way, using SORT button on DATA tab – Stack Overflow (thanks [Wayback/Archive] Armaan Gohil and [Wayback/Archive] Jos Woolley) didn’t fully apply but did put me on the right track as I wasn’t aware that the SORT function allows to specify multiple columns using an embedded array argument.

I have seen too many sites where cabling was laid en never tested before actual use, which meant locating the cabling and faults was a nightmare.
Be sure to have good (which can be very simple, but more complex when Power over Ethernet is involved) testing hardware and use it during installation. You will thank yourself later.

For my link archive the [Wayback/Archive] Thread by @cwolferesearch on Thread Reader App starting with [Wayback/Archive] Cameron R. Wolfe on Twitter: “After GPT-3 was proposed, a lot of research was done to find an even better language model. Initial attempts focused on just training larger models. Contrary to popular belief, however, there is more to creating a good language model than size… 🧵[1/8]” / Twitter
3 years later, I’m anxious to know what the current state of the art on GPT is, as between GPT-2 and GPT-3 there was about a 3 year period.

I needed the portable version of [Wayback/Archive] CrystalDiskMark on Chocolatey (unlike the [Wayback/Archive] Chocolatey Software | CrystalDiskMark (Install) package). Luckily I found the auto-update package [Wayback/Archive] Chocolatey Software | CrystalDiskInfo (Portable) and knew both that CrystalDiskMark is from the same author as CrystalDiskInfo, and that their code is on GitHub like the Chocolatey package.
Given I had a the below chocolatey-packages/automatic/crystaldiskinfo.portable as a template, I asked the CrystalDiskInfo (Portable) package maintainer if they were willing to maintain CrystalDiskMark (portable) as well and was glad the response was “yes”: [Wayback/Archive] Portabe CrystalDiskMark similar to the current CrystalDiskInfo? · Issue #159 · mkevenaar/chocolatey-packages
