Getting faster Jekyll builds with caching in plugins

from alexwlchan [alt+shift+b] in programming

a year ago
This website is a static site built with Jekyll, and recently I overhauled the process for generating the site. This should be invisible if you’re just a reader, but it makes a big difference to me – like any software project, I’d accumulated cruft and complexity, and it was time...

Mornings are for madeleines

from Liz Denys [alt+shift+b] in programming

over a year ago
Madeleines are probably my favorite baked good - both to eat and to make. They're rich in flavor, but light in texture. They're quick to make (hellooo, morning option), but don't get boring as they exercise good techniques (easy to learn good techniques, even). And they go really...

Pipes, deadlocks, and strace annoyingly fixing them

from The Changelog [alt+shift+b] in programming

over a year ago
This is a complex tale I will attempt to make simple(ish). I’ve (re)learned more than I cared to about the details of pipes, signals, and certain system calls – and the solution is still elusive. For some time now, I have been using NNCP to back up my files. These backups are...

When Google killed Google Reader, the bloggosphere took a severe hit and the content quality went down because there weren't enough readers to justify the effort it takes to maintain a high quality blog.

What's left is a decaying wasteland of blogs, most abandoned, a lot are now SEO spam, and 99% are not worth reading. BoredReading is a way to read the remaining great blogs that survived the ice age.

To add your favorite blog, please suggest it here! I get emails every day which helps me maintain a high quality selection of blogs!
