Lars WirzeniusI started building a tool to help me make releases of my various projects. I'm re-using a name from my past: unperish. It's not likely to be useful for others.
Lars WirzeniusA sign of getting old: I don't need to invent new names for new software, I can just reuse old names.

Lars WirzeniusI was reminded of this today. It's the story of how I was confused when using a computer.

Lars WirzeniusToday is the first day this year when the day is longer than eight hours where I live. That's the duration from sunrise to sunset. The calendar day is the usual 86400 seconds.
Lars WirzeniusI tend to start my sentences with a capital letter. In Rust I write constants in all capitals. I visited my country's capital today.
None of this means I am for capitalism.
Lars WirzeniusI continue to think having to use one's legal name on social media is a horrible idea. It doesn't meaningfully reduce bad behavior but exposes many people to unnecessary risk. I won't join them.
Even if I'm lucky to be able to use my legal name and usually do.
Lars WirzeniusDoes anyone know of a Rust library to construct a representation of HTML that uses the type system prevent invalid HTML at compile time? For example, that an LI must have an OL or a UL as a parent? I want something that rustc will reject if not correct.

Lars WirzeniusMy spell checker wants me to talk about Pro Bono, who is some kind of relation of the popular musician Bono.
Lars WirzeniusOverall I am of the opinion that man pages should not be so long they are hard to navigate. On my system, by file size, the largest ones are ffmpeg-all, ffprobe-all, ffplay-all, fish-doc, ffmpeg-filters, bash, git-confit, xorriso, virsh, pandoc, rsync, and curl.
I don't even use ffmpeg directly.
On the other hand, splitting a long one into a dozen small ones is not always a win, either.
For long manuals I prefer HTML, actually.
(Don't talk to me about Texinfo, please.)
