🥳 New Kitten Release!
🚨 Breaking change: You can now add arbitrary JavaScript in script blocks in Kitten Markdown Pages front-matter (and the imports property is gone).
You can also use JavaScript string interpolation and all special Kitten tags (e.g., conditional tags, etc.) in Kitten Markdown Pages.

Bing's web crawler is a true putz of the Internet.
By-the-way, various other search engines use Bing as the underlying web crawler, so this is far from being a Microsoft issue.
Bing's web crawler refuses to index content that does not meet its standards.
And what are those standards? It is that pages contain a bunch of meta tags and such.
Well, some of my archival content was written around 1995, long before those meta tags were conceived.
Thus, from Bi…

Give me your suggestions for "assassinated revolutionaries" missing from this #Wikipedia category.
#crowdsourcing
Just finished The Way of Kings.
while the writing was good and the characters were good it's such a poorly plotted book that it becomes unenjoyable.
Very little happens over 800 pages and while I love character development it's no excuse for how slow this moves. I would have enjoyed this at 500 pages. At 1000 I don't even want to read more.
#books
I have now written 19,460 words of the story I started on the first of January; and it is only the 15th, so that's better than 1,000 words a day. That feels like an achievement. Of course, this is first draft. But the galley already runs to 83 pages!

Fugg. Google Books has been redesigned, the snippets are so small now that they are unreadable. Even the cover pages of books are tiny now. Classic Google Books is still available, but will be turned off.

Anyone have any thoughts on why Apple Books is only downloading pages of a book AS I reach them? It's leading to a frustrating 7 second delay on the page appearing as it downloads individually!

Just finished "The Raven Boys," a graphic novel adaptation of a novel by Maggie Stiefvater (adaptation written by Stephanie Williams and illustrated by Sas Milledge).
I haven't read the original novel, and because of that, this version felt way too dense, having to fit huge amounts of important details into not enough pages. The illustrations are gorgeous and the writing is fine; the setting and plot have some pretty interesting aspects... It's just too hard to follow a lot of the threads, or things we're supposed to care about aren't given the time/space to feel important.
The other thing that I didn't like: one of the central characters is rich, and we see this reflected in several ways, but we're clearly expected to ignore/excuse the class differences within the cast because he's a good guy. At this point in my life, I'm simply no longer interested in stories about good rich guys very much. It's become clear to me how in real life, we constantly get the perspectives of the rich, and rarely if ever hear the perspectives of the poor (same applies across racial and gender gradients, among others). Why then in fiction should I get more of the same, spending my mental bandwidth building empathy for yet another dilettante who somehow has a heart of gold? I'm tired of that.

I'm trying to do something with #aspnetcore and Razor pages that I thought would be possible, but the more I look into it, the more it feels impossible.
The ability to resolve Razor Pages from within a process and get information on the page.

Resource 2 for how to talk about current political events more effectively:
This book from George Lakoff called “Don’t Think of an Elephant” is short, to the point, and very practical.
First edition came out in 2004, I recommend the second one from 2014. It’s surprisingly on point to everything that’s happened in the country since.
It will give you both a theoretical framework to understand framing / messaging specific advice on key issues.

I have a question for anyone who happens to be knowledgeable about web standards:
The same way we had the (failed?) "DoNotTrack" header... Is there any working group or initiative working on an #HTTP header sent by the browser (or similar mechanism) to signal that the user wants an ecological/lightweight website? Something like "SaveEnergy" or "LowEnergy", or "LightweightMode".
Would it make sense? Or do you foresee that it would fail for some specific reasons?
P.S.: Of course I would prefer if we didn't have to signal our discontent with the unjustifiably big and unoptimized web pages that we are served.
P.S.2: Now I am feeling tempted to write a browser extension for people who want to use "alternative communication channels" (HTTP headers) to "yell" arbitrary stuff at certain websites (It would be glorious if we could coordinate a big "Fuck you, Google", or, in a more positive tone, "Free Palestine!").
