Juha-Matti Santala ☛ I built a custom RSS hydrator for better GitHub and Youtube feeds
That’s good enough for knowing when a new video lands but I’d really like to watch those directly from my reader instead of jumping to Youtube and be distracted with the algorithm pushing more content to my face.
My hydrator has two functions: one called parse_youtube_feed that parses the XML of a feed provided and another called create_youtube_embed that takes individual video URL and turns it into a Youtube embed iframe.

Terence Eden ☛ Is this a bug in every Markdown (Extra) parser?
Markdown is, I think it is fair to say, a frustrating "specification". It's origins are a back-of-a-fag-packet document and a buggy Perl script - and we've been dealing with the consequences ever since.
There are now multiple Markdown parsers, each with their own idiosyncrasies. To make matters worse, there's a set of extensions popularly known as "Markdown Extra".
