A good piece on why XML deserves a second look as a format for DSLs: XML is a cheap DSL.
I've long thought there are problems where XML genuinely shines, and the richness of its tooling ecosystem is a big part of that. What's unfortunate is that the XML boom of the early 2000s left people with bad associations—not because XML is bad, but because it got dragged into problems it was never suited for. Reflexively avoiding XML today isn't really a rational response to that history. It's just the hangover.

@feorag @etchedpixels @cstross @_tillwe_ I really hope it happens, I’d rather catch a train in the evening and wake up at my destination than wake up early to then catch a fast train or (shudder) go to the airport.

@farbel @mathew @jollyorc @cstross @_tillwe_ @feorag I still think nuclear power could've had a good place in the mix, for steady high power industry like data centers(*) that you're not going to run off some simple rooftop solar.
* not the AI kind, the legitimate kind that replaces a couple thousand companies with on-prem servers.
But the time to start building would've been a decade ago at least. By now that money is better spent elsewhere, like upgrading the grid.

O sì #amazon, sto risparmiando. Non vedi che non sto comprando più niente e che ho pure tolto l'abbonamento a Prime? 🤣

"Can you show what Cells for NetBSD actually does?"
Sure.
Fresh NetBSD install, deploy a Luanti server from a manifest, backup, restore, inspect processes inside the cell, then nuke everything again.
My personal record is <4 minutes.
The video is slower because OBS + VM + music nearly killed my laptop.
