httbs··on Show HN: Roffume – Add fragrance to your resume with roff
I had an unreleased version of this project running `groff`-only for quite some time.

After using it for 25 or so applications, I got the feeling that having markdown as the "source of truth" was slightly easier for reading, editing, and diffing different versions. I’ve been using it with Markdown as a base and I’m happy with the results.

To me, Markdown wins on ergonomics: easier to visually scan, no escaping of typographical marks (the `\-` hyphen), and syntax highlighting in every editor for bold/italics/etc,

I do concede that raw `roff`'s tend to produce better "one-per-line" diffing on what would otherwise be inlined paragraphs. But that seems somewhat minor to me.

Also, I invite more advanced `roff` users to show me the error on my ways regarding my above reasoning.

httbs··on Show HN: Faaah – Filesystem as an AI Handler
I just mean that some providers do some telemetry to detect (sometimes incorrectly) bad use. I think there were recent cases where OpenClaw-related strings in the prompt produced token exhaustion on Claude Code users.

I'm just saying that standard usage would produce a somewhat repetitive spawning of subagents which get prompts with a consistent formatting, and it's not entirely impossible that that plus large volume of use might trigger some detection somewhere.

I had a blast reading this, and had some great laughs. Thanks for sharing and making my morning!
httbs··on How to Get a Common Lisp Job in 2055
Not particularly. Doing stuff with primes is just a common theme for sample functions.

httbs··on Ask HN: How to trap SIGTSTP (ctrl-z) in a Bash script?
Yes sorry, I just wanted to come to a place with some experts. I tried some other popular sites with little luck.

Anyway, that works, thanks!

So it seems that trapping SIGTSTP works, so long as the script is currently executing an asynchronous command that is followed by a "wait", at the time when the user presses Ctrl-z. Did I get it right? I need to read a bit on this topic.

httbs··on Show HN: Crawlee – Web scraping and browser automation library for Node.js
Yes but on Github, the place that people sensitive to the definite article will see the most, it says "The web scraping and browser automation library."

I opened a PR to change it: https://github.com/apify/crawlee/pull/1480
