The pattern matching and absence or real thinking is still strong.
Tried to move some excel generation logic from epplus to closedxml library.
ClosedXml has basically the same API so the conversion was successful. Not a one-shot but relatively easy with a few manual edits.
But closedxml has no batch operations (like apply style to the entire column): the api is there but internal implementation is on cell after cell basis. So if you have 10k rows and 50 columns every style update is a slow operation.
Naturally, told all about this to codex 5.3 max thinking level. The fucker still succumbed to range updates here and there.
Told it explicitly to make a style cache and reuse styles on cells on same y axis.
5-6 attempts — fucker still tried ranges here and there. Because that is what is usually done.

Why would one drag this god forsaken abomination on server-side is beyond me.
Even effing C# nowdays can be run in script-like manner from a single file.

Even the latest Codex UI app is Electron. The one that is supposed to write itself with AI wonders but couldn’t manage native swiftui, winui, and qt or whatever is on linux this days.
My favourite languages are F# and OCaml, and from my perspective, TypeScript is a far better language than C#.
Typescript’s types are far more adaptable and malleable, even with the latest C# 15 which is belatedly adding Sum Types. If I set TypeScript to its most strict settings, I can even make it mimic a poor man’s Haskell and write existential types or monoids.
And JS/TS have by far the best libraries and utilities for JSON and xml parsing and string manipulation this side of Perl (the difference being that the TypeScript version is actually readable), and maybe Nushell but I’ve never used Nushell in production.
Recently I wrote a Linux CLI tool for managing podman/quadlett containers and I wrote it in TypeScript and it was a joy to use. The Effect library gave me proper Error types and immutable data types and the Bun Shell makes writing shell commands in TS nearly as easy as Bash. And I got it to compile a single self contained binary which I can run on any server and has lower memory footprint and faster startup time than any equivalent .NET code I’ve ever written.
And yes had I written it in rust it would have been faster and probably even safer but for a quick a dirty tool, development speed matters and I can tell you that I really appreciated not having to think about ownership and fighting the borrow checker the whole time.
TypeScript might not be perfect, but it is a surprisingly good language for many domains and is still undervalued IMO given what it provides.
You can buy IR and UV leds. All high end grow lights have these for plants. Low quality cheap led products won't include them but that is nothing to do with LEDs themselves that is just consumer preference and price conformance.
ISS cooling is 16KW dissipation. So like 16 H200. Now imagine you want to cool 100k instead of 16.
And all this before we talk about radiation, connectivity (good luck with 100gbps rack-to-rack we have on earth), and what have you.

Sometimes I think all this space datacenters talk is just a PR to hush those sad folks that happen to live near the (future) datacenter: “don’t worry, it’s temporary”
> ROSA is 20 percent lighter (with a mass of 325 kg (717 lb))[3] and one-fourth the volume of rigid panel arrays with the same performance.
And that’s not the current cutting edge in solar panels either. A company can take more risks with technology choices and iterate faster (get current state-of-the-art solar to be usable in space).
The bet they’re making is on their own engineering progress, like they did with rockets, not on sticking together pieces used on the ISS today.
Modern c# has many low level knobs (still in a safe way; though it also supports unsafe) for zero allocation, hardware intrinsics, devirtualization of calls at runtime, etc.: simd (vector), memory spans, stackalloc, source generators (helps with very efficient json), etc.
Most of all: C# has a very nice framework and tooling (Rider).

Not here yet. Maybe in a year. Maybe never.
