05:30 schestowitz; <blockquote>
05:30 schestowitz; <p>Markdown circa 2004 has displaced most of the others today, but it explicitly never claimed to be the first such human-readable format; indeed, AsciiDoc predates it by about two years, reStructuredText a year before that and MakeDoc about a year before that. For that matter, some of the concepts popularized in Markdown might not have existed at all were it not for earlier ancestors like 2002's Textile.</p>
05:30 schestowitz; <p>But a forgotten rich text language predates most of these, with the interesting property in that much of the markup is encoded using trailing whitespace, almost a fusion of in-band and out-of-band styling systems. If the whitespace is munged, it's largely just a text document (like those particular Mac files if you pass along only the data fork); but if it passes through intact, an intelligent converter can
05:30 schestowitz; use attributes encoded in the whitespace to style it into HTML. That system is ProleText.</p>

05:31 schestowitz; <p>Ive enjoyed writing software for 40+ years now. Lots of activities fall into that writing software basket, and heres my favorite: When you have a body of code with a decent unit-test suite and you need to make it go faster. This part of the Quamina diary is a case study of making a piece of the library faster.</p>

21:39 schestowitz; If you want to better secure your Linux desktop but don't want to learn complicated firewall rules, the Uncomplicated Firewall may be for you.
21:39 schestowitz; Uncomplicated Firewall (UFW) is a frontend for iptables, which focuses on simplicity, says Jack Wallen. And, compared to iptables, he says, UFW is a leisurely stroll through the park.
