First new mac in six years, Macbook Air M4 with 32gb of ram. Compared to my old intel one, Solr testsuite in 18 minutes instead of 52 minutes. "tidy" in 18 seconds compared to 52 seconds.

Has the observabikity world ever moved up the “Business Stack” to proactively monitor business events? Seems like all that infrastructure for monitoring systems is almost ther to measure your BusinessOps? #opensearch #opensearchcon. Tell me what exists out there right now!

Ugh, I just asked an LLM to count the number of words in a article I am writing (goal is 2000!). 10 to 15 seconds later, after it read every word, it did give me an answer... Or I could have done "wc -w fast_accurate_relevant_intuitive.md" ;-)

Time for another interesting format: The Hyperwood Exchange Format (HEF).
Based on the cubicle exchange format, coming from an 3d editor based on voxels (remember Comanche?), HEF is a language for building furnitures. And Hyperwood is the idea of open source furniture.

Alligator that starred in 'Happy Gilmore' dies of old age in Colorado
Morris, who was at least 80, had also appeared in "Interview with the Vampire,” as well as “Coach,” “Night Court” and “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.”
