A number of similar projects exist, but none that could set up multiple pipelines/gateways. Hopefully this is useful to someone; blog-post covering the setup here, including deployment on the Google Cloud Run free tier, is coming soon!

This letter written by Charles Babbage in 1840 is fascinating ...
... since it appears to be his earliest ever attempt to describe computational recursion in plain language
He *had* to use plain language -- the very concepts he was struggling to enunciate didn't yet have names
As Bruce Sterling puts it, this passage is “a breathless, painful description of the unique ability of software to operate on itself”
Item #12 in my latest "Linkfest" newsletter, free here: buttondown.com/clivethompson/a…
![A letter handwritten by Charles Babbage, in a neat script. It reads, in part: "“Those who are acquainted with the loom are aware that by means of cards having certain holes punched in them it is possible to weave with the SAME loom ANY design however complicated. The design is translated into cards and these direct the motions of the threads. By similar means the motions of the Calculating Engine are directed. Any formula however complicated is translated into cards and these being placed in the Engine it works out that particular formula and gives its numerical value”. “In one respect however it advances beyond the cards of Jacard. For in the case of the development of functions it backs the cards more or less so as to repeat the operation according to any assigned laws thus enabling a small number of cards to supply the place of a great many and rendering it unnecessary to effect the algebraic redevelopment of a function in order to make the cards the LAWS of that development only being communicated by the cards”.](https://fedi.ml/photo/preview/640/602287 "A letter handwritten by Charles Babbage, in a neat script.

I think the tide is starting to turn in GNOME and free desktop accessibility for blind people. Check out this positive message on the Orca mailing list, from a former vocal critic of free desktop accessibility: freelists.org/post/orca/Thanks…
Note: This has nothing to do with the work I did earlier this year prototyping a new Wayland-native accessibility stack. So I'm not being self-congratulatory.

This thought was triggered by a comment on an article about Rust: lobste.rs/s/ktwhai/rust_prism#…
To be clear, language complexity isn't a good thing for its own sake. Still, reading that comment made me have that sudden reaction.
This, slightly further down in the comments, along with the idea of Kernighan's Lever, gets to the problem with that sort of flexing:
"This implies that programmers exist in isolation. Most of the code I read was not written by me. If the subset of the language that I stick to is a completely disjoint subset to the one a collaborator sticks to, we can’t review each others’ code. If I jump into a new project and it’s using a distinct subset of the language to the one 1/2
@torvalds on the removal of some [russian] entries from the MAINTAINERS file:

"'It's entirely clear why the change was done, it's not getting reverted [...]
[…] the "various compliance requirements" are not just a US thing.
If you haven't heard of Russian sanctions yet, you should try to read the news some day. […]
[…] I'm Finnish. Did you think I'd be *supporting* Russian aggression? Apparently it's not just lack of real news, it's lack of history knowledge too."
