zweifuss··on Fortran Web Framework
Let's try... Fortran on Freightways Fortran on Fibers Fortran on Ferries Fortran on Fast Lane Fortran on Foundation Fortran on Fences
zweifuss··on Show HN: Atto – BASIC computer that runs in the browser
I concur. It took me too long to figure out that ESC does the trick. Also, the help pane needs navigation at the bottom too. Was looking for the key binding table too. It would be nice if keybindings can be remapped.
zweifuss··on Parents of children called Alexa challenge Amazon
Around here it is a not too rare nickname for Alexandra.
zweifuss··on Let’s fix font size
ẞ (capital sharp s; added to Unicode in 2008) and even the much older ß (eszett) are not included in all modern fonts. Sometimes Eszett is simulated with a lowercase β sign even today. Often its size doesn't match the ASCII characters.

Some dishwashers are tiny. For camping or singles. E.g. https://daan.tech/
zweifuss··on Microsoft's underwater data centre resurfaces after two years
From https://natick.research.microsoft.com/ Phase 1 demonstrated the feasibility of the subsea datacenter concept, including our ability to remotely operate a Lights Out datacenter* for long periods of time, operating with a highly efficient PUE (power usage effectiveness is total power divided by server power; lower values are better, 1.0 is perfect) of 1.07, and using no water at all, for a perfect WUE (water usage effectiveness is the liters consumed per megawatt of power per minute; lower values are better, 0 is best) of exactly 0 vs land datacenters which consume up to 4.8 liters of water per kilowatt-hour. For Phase 2, our goals are to:

Develop one full scale prototype subsea datacenter, which could be used as a modular building block to aggregate subsea datacenters of arbitrary size

Gain an understanding of the economics of undersea datacenter TCO (total cost of ownership is the full lifetime cost of a datacenter including manufacture, deployment, operations, and recovery) should we proceed to commercial deployment.
