Morning Dew Break Coming Up Next Week

The daily Dew Drop posts will be taking a break for about a week and a half. I’m taking some personal time off and unplugging after Friday. So, there will be no daily links from Monday, October 21st through Wednesday, October 30th.

I should be back on the 31st, but I won’t be including most of the blog posts that folks share in that time in-between. If there are any major announcements from Microsoft and other “companies of interest”, I’ll flag those to be included upon my return.

I’m also experimenting with migrating from WordPress to a static site, and I’d like to bring my 4800+ blog posts along with me. If you have any recommendations for static site generators that can build sites of that size without memory heap issues in JavaScript, give me a heads-up. My brief experimentation with Astro didn’t go well. See this GitHub issue for others running into a similar problem. I ran into the issue on Netlify, GitHub Actions, and when building the prod site locally (even with NODE_OPTIONS=–max_old_space_size=8192 set).

Thanks for continuing to follow the daily links on the Morning Dew. We’re coming up to 17 years of sharing links in early November. Cheers!
