静态网站悖论
个人网站的两种不同实现方式：一种是复杂的内容管理系统（CMS），另一种是简单的静态 HTML 文件。文章指出，尽管大多数普通用户倾向于使用复杂的解决方案（如 WordPress），但实际上，只有少数专业软件工程师能够选择更简单的静态网站。

前两天刚好听朋友说 square space 已经涨到了近乎搞笑的 $25 月费，做不用来盈利的个人博客实在难以 justify。这篇文章中吐槽得很在点子上：
normal users are stuck with a bunch of greedy clowns that make them pay for every little thing, all while wasting ungodly amounts of computational power to render what could have been a static website in 99% of cases.
普通用户被困在了一群屁大点功能都要收费的贪婪小丑手里，与此同时浪费着人神共愤额度的算力来渲染 99% 的情况下都可以作为静态的网站。
当然原文中说的“只有少数专业软件工程师才能选择更简单的静态网站”略微夸张并不认同，因为静态站至少是比 self-host 的动态 CMS 少太多维护了。我的 backlog 里也一直躺了篇安利新手用静态站并拉踩 WP 的文，不过网上这种文已经有无数了也还是拦不住前赴后继往各种 CMS 的坑里冲的新手，觉得写了又有什么意义呢就还搁着没写。（当然迟早会像以前反复造的无数轮子一样被废话欲战胜的 but not today）

The symbol ¶ was commonly used in Medieval manuscripts to indicate a new paragraph.
Since there were no standards for indenting or spacing at the time, specialized scribes known as rubricators marked paragraphs (beginning of a different train of thought within the author's narrative) with these ornate symbols, often drawn in red ink.
The symbol ¶ has largely fallen out of common use but remains a symbol for paragraph breaks in formatting tools.

The ampersand (&) symbol has a rich history intertwined with the evolution of the English alphabet. Originally, it was a ligature of the Latin word “et,” meaning “and.” Over time, this symbol became so integral to writing that it was included as the 27th character in the English alphabet, following ‘Z’. When reciting the alphabet, people would conclude with “X, Y, Z, and per se and,” which translates to “and, by itself, and.” This phrase was eventually slurred together into the single term “ampersand.”

core-js is a modular JavaScript library that provides polyfills for modern ECMAScript features up to 2024, including promises, symbols, collections, iterators, typed arrays, and many web standards like URL and structuredClone. It lets you use new JavaScript features in older browsers by loading only the needed parts without polluting the global namespace. It integrates well with tools like Babel and swc for optimized polyfilling. This helps you write modern, compatible code that runs smoothly across different environments, improving development efficiency and user experience. You can customize polyfill usage and even build your own tailored version for your project.
