Up until I added that line it was "rust" which was doing it. Perhaps the line makes it worse, but at least I'm happy to ignore those requests now. :)

I think it happens to me because I mention that I'm dabbling in rust in my profile, and I guess that's a keyword they scrape for.

Most of the recruiter traffic comes from LinkedIn, which is not particularly surprising. The very first line of my profile there reads: Please do not contact me about cryptocurrency, blockchain, NFTs, or associated technologies. Almo

All three at some point, but MacOS has been my dev environment of choice since 2004. I'd probably be happier in Linux or even a BSD except I can't help tinkering with them.

I happen to have a pretty pronounced astigmatism. I still prefer light (note, not white in the case of my site) on black.

by qubyte 5y ago
This is why I use black for the background on my own site, and high-contrast dark themes where available.

Close that loop: Once the traffic goes above a threshold transition it to red!

The simplest way I can think of is Netlify. You can drag and drop a folder to deploy it. You'll get a sort of random looking domain and HTTPS. From there you can configure your own domain and deploy from GitHub etc. if you choose, but

This article has some... interesting entries (as noted elsewhere in the comments here), but it came up at an interesting moment for me. I spent last weekend poring over the PNG spec because I wanted to make QR codes real small [1]. I'm

This is the resource I wish I'd had some years ago when I was starting out as a server dev. I remember the (lack of a) Vary header in particular causing me hours of frustration.

Why should they not be?

This isn’t correct. My family live in the countryside and they’re more than an hour drive from the nearest rail station. There are buses but only a couple a day and they take a very long time. Their situation is pretty common.

I should add, this was several years ago. I'd never put up with that sort of crap now.

I once interviewed for a large game company. Their main office in Europe is in Dublin, but at the time they were opening an outpost in Brighton, UK (where I am) and were hiring a server engineer for their e-sports division. There were a lo

One pattern I like to use is to have a regular /events endpoint, which works for polling. The endpoint also checks the accept header though, and if it sees `text/event-stream` it'll act as an EventSource endpoint. EventSource

I use server rendered SVG with mathjax as part of my static site generator. To try to make it as accessible as possible I add a title element with an ID to each SVG and use an aria-labelledby attribute to connect the two [1] (a sample for t

The tradition down here in Brighton is for a herring gull to steal the fish before you’ve had a chance to taste it.

I also use Remy Sharp’s code, but as a library. I have netlify call this glitch [1] I wrote on successful deploy. It compares the new sitemap.txt with one it has cached and scans new URLs which match a pattern for mentions to dispatch. 1:

I found the documentation hard to follow to get server rendering to work, so here’s an example of MathJax integrated with marked [1], and an example of it in action [2] (scroll down). 1: https://github.com/qubyte/qubyte

Attack is stretching the term sightly, I admit. It’s possible for a malicious style to reorganise things on a page in a misleading way, or place a lewd image in a background for example. Edit: As for scripts adding things, the CSP prevents

I'm mostly a server dev, and I'm keen on a nice strict Content-Security-Policy (CSP) header which rules out inline CSS. The benefits (preventing extensions etc. from injecting style in a way which may constitute an attack) outweig

I enjoyed this. It conveyed a little of the sense of wonder that can come with just a touch of JS without bashing the frameworks. I also liked the emphasis on making HTML and CSS do the heavy lifting by adding and removing CSS classes as tr

It seems like everyone in this town (Brighton, UK) realised that they were about to run out of dried yeast yesterday, and there's none to buy. This morning I took to twitter with photos of the beginnings of a sourdough starter and ther

I commented elsewhere, but yes it can! It took a bit of head scratching but I got there in the end with my own Node.js based static site generator. This code integrates version 3 of MathJax, which was considerably different to version 2. h

I integrated MathJax 2 into my static site generator, and just recently bumped it to version 3 (which is quite different). You can see the result here: https://qubyte.codes/blog/the-maths-of-domains-of-points-wit... An
