A nice side effect of regular profiling: you know which parts of your code are cold.
For example, difftastic's display logic is very cold, so I can do additional linear scans to align content without perf worries!

I'm trying mini projects to exercise my new programming language and find gaps.
So far I've done fizzbuzz, JSON parsing, and a crude scheme interpreter.
Any ideas for additional projects? They need to be well scoped because I keep finding e.g. stdlib crashes.

Caddy is really growing on me. It's nice having a web proxy that includes letsencrypt functionality without any additional configuration.
I've tended to use nginx with a separate letsencrypt setup for projects before, and it's much more awkward.
Today I learnt that A* doesn't work for an arbitrary non-planar graph, you need additional structure:

This matches my experience with difftastic so far. The graph is non-planar and my best heuristic only matches Dijkstra perf in typical cases.
