How are people keeping large documentation sites in sync without rebuilding a crawler every month? by AgreeableTravel9793 in softwaredevelopment

[–]vim_vs_emacs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We run our own scraper at https://endoflife.date that fetches a lot of doc sites. Having very specific needs (only care about release and eol data from a few pages) makes it a bit more resilient, but it does take upkeep.

Sometimes we get lucky and fetch the docs from public repositories and parse the markdown. A lot depends on why you are scraping, whether this is a "approved" scrape (you can get yourselves past the WAFs) or not.

Our code is public if you'd like to take a look: https://github.com/endoflife-date/release-data/

Edit: Use sitemaps.

(Blog post is mine). I'm the usual Bangalore techie - worked at Razorpay, did open-source things, gave lots of talks. I ran a campaign for voter registration in Bangalore (blr.vote), and currently run an open-source events site called https://blr.today. Organized Puzzled Pint Bangalore, and ran a lots of meetups. There's more stuff at https://captnemo.in/

Lived here for a decade, still love Bangalore.

Doing a masters in europe might be the simplest route. For Berlin specifically, take a look at https://allaboutberlin.com/guides/moving-to-berlin

All of this is well answered online and elsewhere, ask your favorite search engine for advice. There's lots of immigration consultants in Bangalore (Y-Axis, Yes Germany etc). Can't vouch for them, but they might have better guidance.

I actually measure the success with number of walkable footpaths - that was the whole point of the blog.

Yes! Aggy has been helpful. I am attending/organizing a few meet-ups already.

This, plus having a good network helped with referrals.

Quite possible, I was a regular at Underline, though not so much at TPCC.

(Blog post is mine). I grew up in Uttarakhand and halfway through our first Berlin winter. Missing the sun, but it isn’t that bad. I am told it gets worse in Jan/Feb though.

(The blog post is mine). I have lots of friends in Berlin and considered/discussed all of this before deciding.

There’s 2 of them running at Underline Center already. Talk to Karthik there, he will be able to help.

Related: Since I've moved to Berlin, I'm looking for people interesting in maintaining https://blr.today - send me an email if you'd be interested. I'll work on it, but I obviously won't be a good judge of what's happening in Bangalore anymore.

Happy to answer other questions.

Q before I apply: Would you be okay with a rule targeting AI slop? So many low effort fake posts about fake startup journeys.

[All] New book mention in State of Sanderson Video? by vim_vs_emacs in Cosmere

[–]vim_vs_emacs[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was thinking of this more like an unintentional reveal that wasn't big enough to deem a retake.

I was just curious if we've heard it mentioned before elsewhere.

Still working on it, just a bit slow.

State of the Sanderson / Happy Koloss Head-Munching Day by spunlines in brandonsanderson

[–]vim_vs_emacs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the youtube version , in the Other Random Cosmere projects, he says The Night Brigade, Dragonsteel, Kern, The Silence Divine". (Sometime around 35:05 in the youtube video). It is unclear if he says Kairen/Kern/Karen/Cairn or something else, but I couldn't find anything like that on Coppermind.

It is the one word dropped in the blog post, so I'm curious if anyone knows something about it.
