Oh wow! Did not know that—I went off the original post by Greg and he mentioned to me after I sent him this link that someone looked at Common Crawl as well.

Either way, I updated both the git and the webpage to shout-out the week-before-this findings! I linked directly to your website, lmk if that's how you prefer it.

Cheers!

Tell me more—these colors, #2B2B2B for fg and #F7F3EE for bg pass accessibility checks. See something like coolors [1] or WebAIM [2]

You could run something like https://motherfuckingwebsite.com/ but contrast doesn't mean to run with black/white, http://bettermotherfuckingwebsite.com/ is better on the eyes.

If it's bothering the eyes, like many more of other websites would, feel free to pull up your favorite browser's reader mode with your preferences. Cheers!

I was in the same boat for many years! Having started using org-mode for my website in 2018 [1] (just add index.org to the path to see the source), it grew into this massive pile of obscure gen and with my limited comfort level with lisp, turned into a scary smelling concoction of dozens of perl/sed/sh scripts that modified the output to fit my needs and have them do something fancy.

But then, really, sat down for about 48 hours on a lonely weekend when everyone was away and wrote a simple static site generator [2] that takes exact same files and produces output that I fully understand e2e, becoming the project I'm most proud of.

There are so many other generators I tried (hugo, jekyll, rails, asciidoctor, org-publish, astro), rolling up your own gives a sense of a stable foundation. Love your website! So clean. One thing that I'm thinking of adding (though I haven't touched my generator that much, I consider it "complete") is the dynamic execution of source code blocks.

Org tutorials 12 months ago

Orgmode got me through college, research, and at work, it really is the perfected markup language that can do a lot more than just being a markup language. The extensibility and out of the box export to other formats makes it immediately useful for at least 80% of common tasks.

It has ingrained itself so deeply into my muscle memory that I built out a whole website builder [1] and extended the language to support all kinds of nice QoL things for my website [2].

Something that as the other commenter here noted—I can rely on orgmode for many decades to come.

Isn't that amazing? We have the freedom to pick and choose whatever playing (or non-playing) style fits our heart and rocks our boat!

Hi! Author here. I do agree, it does read as I'm looking for a very specific type of game, which sentiment many others would not share (totally expected and should be that way)

I hoped to put the focus more on the repetitiveness of innovation within many genres of games. That is somewhat of a product of my own subjective observation.

Let all people find what they truly enjoy!

author here. I agree! The best part of games is the social aspect, which if we have been losing (in the West, at least) since the deindustrilization times, games should be able to connect people more, rather than forcing them to the manual labor of grinding and gacha (there are players that seem to enjoy that though)

I agree with you, it might not have chosen the best example pictures to use. Something with an alpha channel png->webp could be a better showcase. Thanks

True, jpegs would have achieved similar. I liked PNGs over the years because of the alpha channel, which was super useful. WebP is the only format I know that is both lossy and has an alpha channel.

thank you! Yeah, I looked at those as well, but as a safari user, AVIF was just a no go and JPEG XL, looking cool though, is not adequately supported by anything (maybe just yet?)

Hi! This is the author of the post here. Thank you all for your input and discussion of the term "goated" and different photo formats! I'm not super into photography, I focused mainly on what looks good from a casual browsing experince and also saves space for me.

I want to note that there are formats that are meant to supersede WebP, such as AVIF and JPEG XL, however, AVIF (69.25%, I also mainly use Safari) [1] and JPEG XL (0%) [2] are not as nearly adopted as WebP is (91.38%) [3]. Usage taken on April 13th, 2022. Also, get a browser released after 2013.

That's such a cool website! Definitely, if someone focuses on photography, I am not fully into the field to know the best practices, simply trying out new and small things that I find around.

The whole point of the post is that Google grabbed his picture and attached it to the search card of said killer, so it looks like he is that person not only by name, but by first searched photo as well.

Author here! That was me messing around late at night I like to keep my environment very strict and even adding my own dependency was a stretch. I just found a style that works for me and wanted to share it so maybe other people will make their own too! Just applying simple tech for everyday use

Author here! I’m not the biggest fan of having thousands and thousands of external dependencies. I’m not too big on frontend but I have been using org mode for couple of years now. Just wanted to share some small adjustments one can make to make results prettier! If I made one for myself, literally anyone can copy it or make their own to their style
