The first of the month is a good time to note down this little trick for spreadsheets:

`=sumif(B1514:B1543,"<>",C1514:C1543)`

This is useful in the solar generation spreadsheet I run, since it sums in column C only when there’s a value in column B; the near–OCD spreadsheet has running calculations in place that make this better than daily editing of the total at the monthly termini in column C (itself a collection of differences).

e.g. C1543 : `=B1543-B1542`

Masochism: n. attempting to fix the issue you yourself filed earlier in the day.

https://github.com/mapkyca/BashKnown/issues/3

String variable manipulation in a bash script to feed the -F parts to its curl call.

Struggling to translate a single -F, say the body text, to a reference to $F without spaces ruining it for me…

Via one of my namesakes on T: [Google’s Guinea–Pig City](https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2018/02/googles-guinea-pig-city/552932/), I’m surprised [@macgenie](https://micro.blog/macgenie) hasn’t posted about it yet, however tenuous the link to small mammals… :o)
