    > Soupault is not like other static site generators — it works on the HTML element tree level. Most SSGs treat HTML as an opaque format that can be generated with templates but cannot be read or manipulated.
    >
    > Soupault treats HTML as a first-class format and that enables many use cases and features that are impossible for other SSGs.

- Governance in GNOME
    - A “bottom up” approach, over-reliance on personal projects and taste, to be sublimated into a shared vision
    - options for maintainers
        - make yourself indispensable, so that everything ends up passing through you, and everyone has to defer to your taste, opinion, or edict
        - replicate your toughts, taste, and opinions into the minds of the people using the API you design
        - reimplement the entirety, a reflection of your taste, commitment, and ethos
    - governance
        - a structure for people to know what to expect and how to navigate the decision making process inside the project
            - responsibility is not something to hoard: it’s something to distribute
            - random GitLab issues should not be the only place where people can be informed that some decision was taken
            - individuals should be able to contribute to a decision without necessarily becoming responsible for a whole project
            - a single person responsible for multiple modules should not be able to design and commit on their own
        - a lightweight but well-defined process
            - discussion: present to the stakeholders, for iteration and consensus
            - documentation: for reference to the decision-making process and resolution during implementation and on-going developments

    - many alternatives are suggested on HN
- Maybe the Fastest Disk Usage Program on macOS
    - healeycodes/dumac: 🗃️ Very fast alternative to 'du -sh' for macOS that uses getattrlistbulk.
    - in #rust, with tokio::task
    - macOS has a syscall called getattrlistbulk(2) which allows you to read multiple directory entries and their metadata in one go. It's like a combined "readdir + stat" that returns a batch of file names along with requested attributes like file type, size, etc.
    - inspired by the Linux equivalent 201984/dut: A disk usage calculator for Linux - Codeberg.org
- Modern Node.js Patterns
    - most of them are news to me, it's glad to learn that nodejs has aquired so many desirable features

    - Does the Bitter Lesson Have Limits? (on HN)
        - The Bitter Lesson
            - trying to build knowledge into agents plateaus and even inhibits further progress in the long run
            - breakthrough progress eventually arrives by an opposing approach based on scaling computation by search and learning
        - four major blows to the human ego
            - The Copernican Revolution: we weren’t the center of the universe.
            - Darwinian thought: we weren’t separate from animals.
            - Freud’s ideas of the unconscious: we weren’t in full control of our selves.
            - Cyborgs, robots, and automatons: non-humans could do the work of humans.
        - Garbage Can Model
            - organizations as chaotic “garbage cans” where problems, solutions, and decision-makers are dumped in together
            - decisions often happen when these elements collide randomly, rather than through a fully rational process
            - represents a world where unwritten rules, bespoke knowledge, and complex and undocumented processes are critical
        - issues of the bitter lesson
            - dependent on high-quality data
            - adding compute is often not practical nor optimal
