~ I'm moving to US 🇺🇸 ~ My visa got approved today. After 2yr sabbatical, I'm moving in to New York - just in time for FarCon! Nowhere in the world have I experienced such an incredible mix of generosity, high energy, and ambition as in US. Although I have traveled *a lot* over the past decade and was a resident in several countries, the idea of coming to the US never crossed my mind. Last year was different. I got to FarCon '24 and traveled across the states. I had no plan. I ended up attending weddings and family reunions. Online friends and old colleagues welcomed me into their homes. There were stretches of days when I didn't spend a cent on food because of generosity of my American friends (who won't take no as an answer!) My only hope is that I will be able to give back to those who treated me so dearly and contribute to a culture that made me who I am today. And now, after such a long break, I'm back (again again again again) in business (literally)

This applies to minds that refined their taste before AI. Not so sure about people who were raised by the algo

Launching Trek, an open source web content extraction library built in Rust! A core part of our work is to understand any link's content on the Internet. And that also means extracting metadata quickly so users can get context, e.g. in a feed. We're building from @kepano's work on Defuddle and then some to do this. Trek also compiles into WASM, enabling anyone to extract content data in a clean, decluttered way in your TS/JS project. It leverages lol_html from Cloudflare to stream HTML in for content extraction instead of building the entire page as a normal scraper would and "trekking" the DOM. This means it's really fast and more importantly memory efficient. Check out the playground here: https://officialunofficial.github.io/trek/ Docs: https://github.com/officialunofficial/trek
