How does this affect analytics on the hosting site? Will they get phantom requests for pages that might not ever be viewed?

I read through it, but I couldn't figure out if it was (1) just smoked cannabis, or (2) general THC usage (from gummies or drinks).

Actually, I don't love this. To me, the examples in red are much more helpful -- they explain, in bare terms, what was actually done. The examples in green feel like a marketing exercise to me. Like they're trying to wrap or obscu

Literally just a brain dump of everything I've learned about them in 20 years.

I wish someone would write this for higher-level languages: JavaScript or .NET. I'm sure this person is brilliant, but they're operating at a much lower (higher?) level than most of us.

I keep an eye on Gemini. I have a browser for it, and I look around once a month or so. It's refreshing. It represents a simpler time I'd like to go back to, occasionally.

Ask HN: Is there an accepted name for writing browser-based user scripts?

I've written 20K or so words about this idea (meta-idea?). Some of those words might be intelligent... https://ineffable.deanebarker.net/

I used the hell out of this, back in the day. We would copy websites down, then use Swish-E from the command line to index everything from the file system, then somehow make a web interface out of it. Good times.

I do love it when someone does an original take on what a "document" means. I love the intellectual exploration of it. Kudos, genuinely.

I've only ever used a free version? I've never paid for it. I think it's free for personal projects? Or at least it was... Edit: I see it's $495 now. I don't think it was priced when I used it, but it's been 4-

This is what I have done for a couple of books I wrote in Markdown ( https://deanebarker.net/books/ ). Convert to HTML, then use Prince ( https://www.princexml.com/ ) to style and convert to PDF.

This is really lovely. It makes me happy that you invested time into building this for other people.

"Ship of Gold in the Deep Blue Sea" is the story of a shipwreck discovery that has always enthralled me. I've read it three times, and I'm so inspired about all the challenges they solved along the way. (Note: the hero o

I don't disagree. I think I make that point throughout the site. I don't like the identity of it.

So... it's a static site generator? I've looked through the site, but I'm having trouble putting it in context. Sounds like it takes data and turns it into a static website. Is that right?

10,000 words about the idea of "thought leadership" and what that might mean.

Call me an idiot, but nowhere on the home page does it say it's for JavaScript. The code samples looked like JS, but I don't know every language, so I wasn't sure. It's not until I got into the docs and saw "npm&quo

Incidentally, "Domain Driven Design" was written around a theoretical logistics/shipping platform. That book didn't make it seem "non-glamorous." Everything is exciting to someone.

I use this constantly. Every single day. I have hundreds of scripts that run in it. It's just wildly valuable and useful.

This is correct. It's a wrapper around web components, kind of like Lit (which they credit in the acknowledgements). Web components are cool, but the spec is bare. This means, a lot of rote work gets custom implemented. There are a lot
