I feel that the integration with calendars should also be possible in today's world, but maybe there's not a widely used open protocol? It's a fair point on attack surface

For me it's that it's unstable and crashes a lot. My experience and that of everyone I know who has used enterprise versions.

Obviously a link in to Artemis II and its recent Outlook snafoo!

Given building software is now cheap, asked someone what would make biggest difference to their public sector job: "Outlook not crashing all the time". Enterprise Microsoft IT people: do you outright block other front-ends (eg Thunderbird) or would it be possible to have both in secure envs?

I am very excited that PyFixest 0.50.0 is on PyPi, including a new graph-based solver for demeaning that makes fixed effects estimation in PyFixest significantly faster for "sparse" fixed effects structures.

Herding llamas, surely!?

Relentlessly prune the older ones! I tend to only really use one frontier model (RAM heavy) and one much smaller model for simple tasks (RAM light) at any time. Which models those are changes over time as better ones are released but personally rarely need a third.
