I understand from other comments that this was started as a learning project, but I gotta say I can't imagine a case where ripgrep wouldn't be fast enough for my use case. Maybe I'm not enough of a power user. Totally fine to

What kind of process would you propose? What criteria would be enforced?

Interesting, thanks for the reply!

> Why is WASM 4x slower than native execution? I thought it was because every string operation had to be copied into WASM memory and then back into JS when the result was computed. Am I wrong? Am I misunderstanding the context? Genuinely

It struck me as weird too. If the author isn't trying to avoid build tools altogether then I'm not clear why they wouldn't just install Vite and simplify their life.

Kind of annoying that I had to follow 4 links just to find a high level justification of the benefits of bootstrapping [0]. I was kinda hoping the "Why" part of this title would address that. [0] https://bootstrappable.

In case my original comment wasn't clear, I thought your post was cool and interesting. I also use Hugo but had never considered the challenges of automating something like that. I liked the write up a lot.

I would posit that this post is a more useful entry into a /now page than a collection of data from third party services. If I want to follow my friends' interests in a specific area of media (e.g. movies) then I'm inclined t

Huh, I've never needed something like this. What kind of industries/hobbies/interests use this type of tool regularly?

Just a heads up, the marketing site has really bad scroll performance on Android Firefox.

I've recently had the morbid thought that perhaps my loved ones could appreciate my blog if I died prematurely. I don't maintain my blog much and I certainly don't think anyone reads it. It is much more for intrinsic benefits

I expected to hate this article but ended up finding it interesting. The author didn't convince me but I thought they had style interesting points.

Absolutely, I was just responding to the herculean effort part. I realize it's a nit, but I think it might be more accurate to say that not all editors are supported, because in some cases it takes barely any effort at all.

Really great UX for me. I am a full time web dev but I write page layouts so infrequently that I've never learned grid syntax deeply. Bookmarking this for the future.

This doesn't really seem to address my most common packaging pain points in the JS/TS ecosystem (which is the inability to easily use ESM in legacy commonjs applications) but maybe I'm just working in the wrong area? I think

I cook 4-5 days a week every week and have never worn through a quality cutting board. Cheap plastic ones will die but good quality wood has lasted well for me. Epicurean also makes a composite board which has lasted many years for me 26th

I found the anecdote of retiring in 6 years to distort the message significantly. Sure everyone can save more but that likely won't result in massive lifestyle changes in a short time frame.

Not only is this unrelated to the OP, but it's also not actionable advice. Sounds like you got lucky and got a bunch of great stock. That's not something most people can count on, and housing in American urban centers only goes so
