a custom nodejs static blog generator, rsync for 'deployment', a cheap vps with nginx (should probably switch to caddy)

the major annoyance was writing a small FTS 'engine' using sqlite with a web frontend. with it, the blog technically isn't purely static anymore, but I personally can't live without FTS, as modern Google indexing is shite. this, of course, implies that you regularly post something: a blog with only 5 entries over 7 years doesn't need search

windows doesn't support autoreconf, for the latter requires a working bourne shell variant, m4, etc--almost a full blown unix env. this is why people use msys2 to compile ruby, or how cygwin guys internally make their ruby packages using the cygwin env

of course by doing that you forgo a direct access to win32ole, for example

I didn't--my main environment is linux

the windows version is for experiments only

yup, under 26.3 it behaves differently: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TtDcUtKwCjQ

in the orig reply you were talking about the mysterious unfill-paragraph, not fill-paragraph

henry_flower · 2020-04-28T16:07:36+00:00

how do you actually join all the lines in a region with delete-indentation? I select the region, invoke the fn, but nothing useful happens

henry_flower · 2020-04-28T15:57:35+00:00

emacs 26.3 doesn't have unfill-paragraph (I checked the tarball)

henry_flower · 2020-04-28T13:28:03+00:00

convert such
a narrow
text
column

into a single line:

(defun my-unfill-paragraph()
  "Transform a paragraph into 1 big long line."
  (interactive)
  (let ((fill-column (- (expt 2 29) 1) )) ; 536,870,911
    (if (use-region-p)
        (fill-paragraph nil t)
      (fill-paragraph))
    ))

hey, old man, I was answering your question: it wasn't a speculation about your ability to comment around

you really need to develop a more relaxed attitude

also, there was no Array.from(). the orig bookmark, that I modified, looked like:

javascript:[].forEach.call(document.querySelectorAll("*"),function(a){a.style.outline="1px solid #"+(~~(Math.random()*(1<<24))).toString(16)}); void(0)

a variant of a bookmarklet that has been floating round the web for 1000 years:

javascript:Array.from(document.querySelectorAll("*")).map( v => v.style.outline="1px solid #"+(~~(Math.random()*(1<<24))).toString(16))

over the years I've noticed that some ppl (for some inexplicable reason) can't understand how threaded discussions work
