I'm coding a Markdown renderer!
https://dbushell.com/notes/2024-08-23T09:32Z/
— decided to give this idea another crack

quick project this morning:
1. start coding my own markdown renderer
2. setup benchmarks to compare against existing packages
3. test benchmarks
4. already slower with 1/10th the functionality
5. bin it

@npub1mvj…jlw0 I'm starting a petition to get your pronunciation here https://forgejo.org/faq/#where-does-the-name-come-from 👈 the official version sounds way less enthusiastic

true, but I don't consider a 3rd party like esm.sh to be an appropriate solution. JSR could do that itself, though my suggestion was swiftly shut down (lol) https://github.com/jsr-io/jsr/issues/679
HTTP imports had this solved until importing from source was broken by the move to JSR

yes this is one aspect of Deno that is done well. They've even deprecated a few Deno-specific proprietary APIs [1] in favour of standard library pieces built on web standard APIs. Notably the Buffer and Web Stream stuff is in @std is cross-runtime I think (were Node to support those web APIs, I'm not familiar)

hot off the presses I've just publishing a follow-up:
https://dbushell.com/2024/08/09/jsr-and-deno-final-review/
— there is some nice stuff in the standard lib, I'll give them that 👍

🦕 noted: source code and local development are broken with Deno & JSR
https://dbushell.com/notes/2024-08-07T04:57Z/
— wish I was done criticising Deno but I keep finding new issues with this half-baked JSR package debacle

2024-08-06 10:03:28

The Deno package mess is worse than I thought!

I binned the CSS processors once we got native nesting!

front-end devs: PX or REM for font sizes?
me: font-size: `calc((16 / 16) * 1rem)`

lol blindly ran `sudo rm -rf *` thinking my previous `rm` command was different..
thank god that doesn't include hidden files, and that I was in a git repo

blogged: Private Submodules https://dbushell.com/2024/07/19/github-private-submodules/ — temporary GitHub solution while I look to move fully self-hosted. I run Gitea on my local network. I need to figure out a new deployment process from there.

Basically that. The code is public so people can see how my website is built, the content is alongside it for convenience to build/deploy.
Going private to avoid theft / copyright infringement is admitting default.
2. Neither okay either, but my writing is much more valuable

2024-07-17 07:31:58

Considering whether to remove all my unlicensed public GitHub repos, or keep the code available to see, but hide the content in some way. https://dbushell.com/notes/2024-07-17T06:14Z/

yes I plan to publish the code too — a few details to iron out hoping to have time soon

I've already coded up a working Git LFS server after discovering how simple the API is https://dbushell.com/2024/07/15/replace-github-lfs-with-cloudflare-r2-proxy/ — I plan to self-host it on a Raspberry Pi! Just need to figure out a hook I can use to spin the server up/down as needed.

2024-07-02 12:05:37

something I've been messing with — you can style an HTML <table> with CSS grid and subgrid https://codepen.io/dbushell/pen/NWVYajP?editors=1100
possibly useful?
