I had a third attempt at porting difftastic from Dijkstra to A*, and I've eventually concluded that A* just isn't worth it for the implementation complexity. I had fun writing it up though, and I've even attempted ASCII art for building intuitions:

I like the idea of tools like Pinboard or Karakeep that let you save copies of websites you've bookmarked. I'm considering just writing a script that saves web pages as a .md in a private git repository though. It feels crude. I think I get essentially all the benefits though?

I'm writing a Path type in my programming language but not sure what methods belong on a Path. Should I have some_path.read_string() or fs::read_string(some_path) instead? I love .method() for IDE completion, but I don't want Path to be cluttered. I'm also trying to avoid UFCS.
