Markdown without formatting isn't usually the nicest to read imo. I actually appreciate a well laid out and formatted document myself.

Also wysiwyg doesn't mean it can't be back and forwards compatible with markdown, it might just mean that it's a markdown editor gui with a preview.


It’s also not nice to write longer text in monospace. Or to have long URLs interrupt the text just because you want a hyperlink on some word. Or having to lay out tables by hand like ASCII art. Seeing *this* isn’t the same as seeing this. And you need custom editor software anyway to have affordances like TOC navigation.

Tables by hand, I hate. But I don't quite agree with the first sentiment. For longform prose, it isn't that unusual for people to work with all editing marks visible. Writing novels, I absolutely write using monospace, because it allows you to more concisely control large amounts of formatting easily.

> long URLs interrupt the text just because you want a hyperlink

This annoyed me until I realized pandoc supports separating [the link text] from the link location.

  [the link text]: </url/to/resource>
      "`title` parameter of the <a> tag, if converted to HTML"

Yep, but (a) that isn’t portable Markdown, (b) your editor probably doesn’t support opening the link from the link text in that case, and (c) whenever you want to modify the link text you have to modify all occurrences. A word processor can handle that automatically for you. It can also offer completion (like tab completion) for references that you use repeatedly. It can show as a tooltip what a given link text links to. Conveniences like that is what computers are for, let’s not relapse to the stone age here.

Not a great way to handle the issue originally, but I think the CEO's response is more than fair.

I haven't had to contact Bunny's support so it's a bit disappointing to see this type of runaround from the support, but as an actual issue it seems pretty minor in the end.

I've been using Bunny for ~four years after looking at video hosting. In the four years we've saved approximately 50 000€ compared to if we'd gone with Cloudflare video streaming service and it's just been rock solid for us.


The CEO's response is alright, the VP of engineering's response is a bit more worrying in how it mainly tries to downplay the issue.

In most buildings the shared sauna is on the first floor (basement) and not top.

In this case yes but it's meant as a punycode scam prevention where common Latin alphabet letters are swapped for similar looking alternatives.


The 2ms it takes to run jq versus the 0.2ms to run an alternative is not why your coding agent feels slow.


Still, jq is run a whole lot more than it used to be due to coding agents, so every bit helps.

The vast majority of Linux kernel performance improvement patches probably have way less of a real world impact than this.


> The vast majority of Linux kernel performance improvement patches probably have way less of a real world impact than this.

unlikely given that the number they are multiplying by every improvement is far higher than "times jq is run in some pipeline". Even 0.1% improvement in kernel is probably far far higher impact than this


Jq is run a ton by AIs, and that is only increasing.


I can't take seriously any talk about performance if the tools are going to shell out. It's just not a bottleneck.


Ffmpeg continues to be the most impressive open source project in my opinion.

It's such a joy to use and I've had a dozen of weird use cases where it's been the perfect solution.


Lol what? You got it the other way around. Also out of the dozen or so friends in my friend group who had a PS2, none of us had a modded PS2 or pirated games.

The PS2 was popular on its own and it wasn't related to piracy.

Server admin can set the voice privileges on a channel basis, limiting effectively channels to text only.


Iirc there's a few web components in there which would require js.
