I probably did that on purpose when I moved my blog and proceeded to forget all about it when creating the new page. Fixed. The changes Neovim to VSCode Gonna lose some...
Saw this on HN this morning: Em dashes are fucking amazing. Excerpt: I don’t give a shit what the “oh yeah let’s examine this piece of writing with a magnifying glass for any signs of AI” crowd thinks. I don’t give a shit that AI figured out how to produce em dashes before these online troglodytes did. Typing em...
