Why did this even turn into a murder charge? This angle is not covered at all, is this insane media stirring?

When the authorities decided that the exit from the road was intentional.

That stretch of road is super popular for suicide attempts, feels like it happens once a month.

Whatever is going on, Stripe's behavior looks erratic and unpredictable based on OP's post. I would sure as hell avoid them.

You might like something I built if you want something really, really simple: https://src.xza.fr/python/blog_generator_py/

But note I didn't doc it as I just made it for personal use. But the way you run it is ./py/generate_blog.py, and you need to have Perl implementation of "markdown" installed (usually apt-get install markdown)

Easy to follow up until "two-level adaptive, global", then it became harder to read. But I'm still going. Note that there is a typo here: "P(A not taken) + P(B taken)". Suppose to be: "P(A not taken) * P(B taken)".

Hugo is nice. I only tested it briefly, the learning curve will be bigger than Wordpress. It generates static HTML in a uniquely "live" kind of way. You could then probably figure out a way to push it to a free service like Heroku, if you don't want to manage a server (incl. web server configs, patches, etc.).

I'll look into it, thanks for the suggestion. I don't know anything about Go, part of why I was looking into Jekyll is since I know a little bit of Ruby at least.

>a free service like Heroku

I mean, if the pages are static I can probably handle subscribing to a list for say, Apache, I just want to keep things simple since apparently Wordpress with all the JS etc has quite a big attack surface.

Anyways, I'll grab a book on it and see if it looks promising, but part of this is speed -- I'd hoped to stand something up by 1/1/23 but I may have to push that to Valentine's apparently...

Please rip on my blog post as much as possible

I don't see much of anything to rip on, aside from the fact that I don't actually believe in simple software under the hood, because more complex software can target more use cases and be more of a standard.

Over the past few years I have been aggressively removing tinkered-with tech from my life, and it's been great. Thousands of lines of code gone, many side projects that nobody else seemed to care about archived and forgotten, several new popular technologies learned, features removed that weren't worth the trouble of explaining or learning.

I call it decustomization, the art of making your tech less interesting.

Surprised they paywalled this one. Talk about shooting yourself in the foot! 'Yourself' as both an industry and a specific business.
