They live in the Dust gathered in your server!

That would imply it is written for PowerShell specifically ([1]), and would come with several expectations (like returning PSObject objects, and other good practices).

I strangely cannot flag my own posts. Can you delete that comment (and this comment you’re currently reading), since it’s a duplicate?

Yeah, why not go directly the route of custom HTML elements in Markdown anyway, since HTML inside Markdown is valid?

My guess is parsability. It’s easier to look for sentinel ``` blocks as opposed to building an HTML processor. An XML processor would have been easier, but people like Markdown. So, here we are.

At least, that would’ve my rationale.



I like those two comments giving context on what has happened 10 years ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46118243 (parent and child comment).


Is that an issue? There’s only one reasonable implementation of Typst too, and both AsciiDoc and Typst are fully supported by Pandoc, which supports a wide selection of writers (output formats).


The solution is to use any other better-defined languages with a cheat sheet like [1].

If you’re used to CommonMark features, this is all you need.

This comment might be of interest to help you understand what Tailscale does that WireGuard cannot: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47064875


I would phrase that as what Tailscale does that is more convenient than wg. If you “barely know what a subnet is” go for it. wg is easy as pie though, and just don’t maintain 90 tunnels… You don’t need a full mesh. An extra hop or two, especially within a lan, won’t hurt.


I would recommend WireGuard as well, I primarily use it with Tailscale as backup. WG is straightforward to set up, and with LLM the knowledge gap is now nothing if you have trouble with it


The slow enshittification of every product touched by LLMs these last few years (ESPECIALLY by Microsoft, who goes all-in) kind of “disproves” your point.

Reliable agent-coded development only seems to work for small codebases. (And it’s amazing in Ruby for some reasons.)
