I’ve made this blog built with Hugo multilingual. For now, it’s only available in English. https://masutaka.net/ https://masutaka.net/en/ 👈 Why I implemented multilingual support As part of my OSS activities at work, I often cross-post translated articles to platforms like dev.to and Medium. Recently, I’ve been casually translating and cross-posting articles on my own as well.

Setting the canonical URL to my own blog seems like it would also be beneficial for SEO. ...

What is llms.txt? llms.txt is a Markdown-formatted text file proposed to address the limitation that LLMs have small context windows and cannot process entire websites. It was proposed on September 3, 2024, by Jeremy Howard of Answer.AI at https://llmstxt.org/ . It is not defined in an RFC like robots.txt.

On GitHub, when you paste Issue/PR/Discussion URLs into comments or descriptions, GitHub automatically renders the status, title, and number. For example, if you write the following: * https://github.com/masutaka/sandbox/issues/93 * https://github.com/masutaka/sandbox/issues/70 * https://github.com/masutaka/sandbox/pull/90 * https://github.com/masutaka/sandbox/discussions/91 It renders like this: However, when writing in a plain text area or text editor, the URLs aren’t automatically expanded, so you can’t see the titles or statuses at a glance. This isn’t a problem with just a few URLs, but it can become confusing when dealing with many. ...
