I ran into a bit of trouble with the document tree generation. This is where a good grasp of the borrow checker comes into play, and I'm not there ye…

I'm starting to get the hang of Rust. The borrow checker isn't yelling at me as much as it used to do, and I'm starting to see why things aren't work…

Now that the tokenizer is done, I seem to be able to tokenize most of the html files i've tested. That's good! So i'm spending my time on creating t…

Finally, the tokenizer passes all html5lib-tests and is merger into the main branch [https://github.com/jaytaph/gosub-browser/](https://github.com/ja…

I'm having a hard time trying to fit hierachical documents into elasticsearch. Normally, one would denormalize this and have a flat structure, but th…

I'm doing some hobby work on spacetraders.io. A (simple) space trading game where the only interface is an HTTP API. I've setup a PHP SDK, and tryi…

This weekend I've created a proof-of-concept of a system that crawls PDFs, extract the text with Tika, stored it into Elasticsearch and created a sim…
