Common things in all these Pro-Apple threads:

1. Macbook users who have/are using non-Apple laptops that find the average work-issued Intel laptops to be just meh or worse.

2. People that only buy some exclusive Lenovo, Framework laptops (that are not that common out in the real world (e.g: in US)) refuse to acknowledge the positive experience of Macbook owners.

I have had only 3 personal MacbookAir/MBPs since 2006 (and the previous i5 Mba is perfectly functional after a battery replacement and a HDD upgrade - sitting next to me running Mint Linux, that I plan to hand off to my 10yo.)

In the meantime, I've also had 4 other MBPs and 3 windows laptops through work.

In no way and form, the intel laptops were/are better than the macbooks on average.

The new `uv format` is just a shortcut for `uv run --with ruff ruff`.

For many years I went without looking at LinkedIn at all. I even deleted my LinkedIn account for couple of years in mid '10s.

I have found a lot of value in LinkedIn recently after I started interacting with news, posts, and people that have something interesting to say. It is as if you tell the algorithm what you like, it will show more things like that.

I also proactively flag things I don't like to see. That also helps a lot in improving my feed, I assume.

Th "updates" feed with all the opentowork, hiring, promotions doesn't bother me much. it has it's uses, and its easy to just eyeball and move on.

What I don't understand is the grandstanding about how LinkedIn and its users are all dumb. You can always timebox your interactions with LinkedIn and ignore it rest of the time if you cannot afford to NOT have a LinkedIn account.

Oh! and learn to use the notification settings. Turn off email alerts etc.,

The number of web projects that fall into these categories vastly outnumber “complex” projects. For complex there is always WASM.

You don't have to override the template in the lua code to include the mvp.css file. use --css argument to set the location of the css file. it can even take multiple arguments (one for mvp.css and one for chartss.css).

In the current state, your "function Doc(" block upsets existing pandoc workflows.

Edit: didn't want to sound harsh with only the criticism :) Thank you for showing how to use lua-filters to do really cool stuff. I've playing with lua-filters, but your code is a clear example of how to extend markdown with a mini-DSL.

Edit 2: Sent you a PR on github with what I was suggesting here.
