How?

It's a vector in the mathematical sense.

The Geometric Algebra viewpoint is much nicer, more natural and encompasses more.
marosgrego··on What is consciousness? Some new perspectives from our physics project
What do psychedelics have to do with computability?
marosgrego··on The Drenching Richness of Andrei Tarkovsky
Ah, Stalker and Adrei Rublev are among my favourite movies. Contrary to what some may feel, I find their pacing to be a nice, almost meditative experience. The others of his movies came to me as more pretentious, although also nice in their way (maybe I need to give them another watch).

For a similar kind of experience, but more down to earth, I would recommend the movies of Béla Tarr.

marosgrego··on GTA III and Vice City fully reverse engineered: re3
Now, somebody implement multiplayer!
marosgrego··on We rendered a million web pages to find out what makes the web slow

All the berries you mention in the last paragraph are also native to Europe.

Blades author here. Just added it to AUR for more convenient install for people who are not Rust developers: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/blades-bin/

Yeah, TOML is kind of more verbose. However, its syntax is uniform (`key = value`) and there is no way to shoot yourself in the foot.

Certainly, I have known Zola for a while and it has a nice feature set.

Very interesting project, thanks for sharing!

CommonMark supports HTML tags, so one can currently also write pages in plain HTML if they want to.

It only supports CommonMark markdown now. Maybe I should state it more explicitly somewhere.

You can do exactly this with Blades. The binary has no dependencies.

Blades currently doesn't break the sitemap, but it can easily be implemented. I see that 50k pages is a maximum for one sitemap file. Do you think it should break into separate pages only after reaching 50k, or sooner?
marosgrego··on Why are there 5280 feet in a mile? (2009)
It's just about what you are used to. For people who've grown up with metric units, it's natural to work with them.
