          <p>I’ve added this RSS only feed, web mentions, syndication of content under the POSSE principle, and markdown copies of files into the deployment of the site all computed at build time over recent days</p>

<p>The cost to the build time is enormous though, previously it was about 2 minutes, but having to move away from GitHub’s default simple pages deployment process to an actions based deploy action in order to control the copy of the markdown it actually reduced to about 45 seconds. The webmention functionality has added about 3 minutes despite some aggressive throttling… such that I only look for mentions for posts published more recently.</p>

<div class="language-yaml highlighter-rouge"><div class="highlight"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="na">throttle_lookups</span><span class="pi">:</span>
    <span class="na">last_week</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="s">daily</span>
    <span class="na">last_month</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="s">weekly</span>

<p>It made me smile, having been the creator of such on my <a href="https://thechels.uk/green">site</a> and getting it on to <a href="https://slashpages.net">Slash Pages</a></p>

  <p><a href="https://developer.chrome.com/docs/web-platform/deprecating-xslt?ref=links.supply">Chromium</a> has officially deprecated XSLT, including the <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/API/XSLTProcessor">XSLTProcessor</a> JavaScript API and the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Processing_Instruction#:%7E:text=%3C%3Fxml%2Dstylesheet%20type%3D%22text/xsl%22">XSLT processing instruction</a>.

          <p>By adding a new collection called ways to my <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">_config.yml</code> and a <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">_ways</code> folder to my repo and ensuring it’s included in the build. I have essentially added a different post type. Those familiar with WordPress will understand what this means. Effectively a new taxonomy for other content types.</p>

<p>It’s really easy in Jekyll as it’s just yaml config and files.</p>

<p>I now have 3 post types.</p>

<ul>
  <li><strong>Posts</strong>; these are just regular blog posts. Visible on the website and the main RSS feed.with sub-types for quotes/link posts, music posts, regular blog posts etc.</li>
  <li><strong>RSS</strong>; these are visible only on the RSS only feed, are not published on the website nor the main feed.</li>
  <li><strong>Ways</strong>; these are like regular posts and use the same template they are published on the website but not in any RSS feeds.</li>
</ul>

<p>Ways are a how-to guide on various topics. They link to online manuals where they exist, and typically have numbered list of steps to follow such as fixing my Apple TV remote volume when it disconnects randomly, how to connect my Bluetooth mouse and my backup Bluetooth mouse, how to run my site locally and that sort of thing.</p>

<p>With my <a href="/disability">health and disability</a> issues this is my go to place as my memory and cognitive function worsens.</p>

          <blockquote>
  <p>In game theory, the centipede game, first introduced by Robert Rosenthal in 1981, is an extensive form game in which two players take turns choosing either to take a slightly larger share of an increasing pot, or to pass the pot to the other player.</p>

  <p>The payoffs are arranged so that if one passes the pot to one’s opponent and the opponent takes the pot on the next round, one receives slightly less than if one had taken the pot on this round, but after an additional switch the potential payoff will be higher.</p>

  <p>Therefore, although at each round a player has an incentive to take the pot, it would be better for them to wait. Although the traditional centipede game had a limit of 100 rounds (hence the name), any game with this structure but a different number of rounds is also called a centipede game.</p>

  <p>The unique sub-game perfect equilibrium and every Nash equilibrium of these games results in the first player taking the pot on the first round of the game; however, in empirical tests, relatively few players do so, and as a result, achieve a higher payoff than in the subgame perfect and Nash equilibria. These results are taken to show that subgame perfect equilibria and Nash equilibria fail to predict human play in some circumstances. The Centipede game is commonly used in introductory game theory courses…</p>

  <h2 id="what-is-it">What is it?</h2>

  <p>The XY problem is asking about your attempted solution rather than your actual problem. This leads to enormous amounts of wasted time and energy, both on the part of people asking for help, and on the part of those providing help.</p>

  <ul>
    <li>User wants to do X.</li>
    <li>User doesn’t know how to do X, but thinks they can fumble their way to a solution if they can just manage to do Y.</li>
    <li>User doesn’t know how to do Y either.</li>
    <li>User asks for help with Y.</li>
    <li>Others try to help user with Y, but are confused because Y seems like a strange problem to want to solve.</li>
    <li>After much interaction and wasted time, it finally becomes clear that the user really wants help with X, and that Y wasn’t even a suitable solution for X.</li>
  </ul>

  <p>The problem occurs when people get stuck on what they believe is the solution and are unable step back and explain the issue in full.</p>

  <h2 id="what-to-do-about-it">What to do about it?</h2>

  <ul>
    <li>Always include information about a broader picture along with any attempted solution.</li>
    <li>If someone asks for more information, do provide details.</li>
    <li>If there are other solutions you’ve already ruled out, share why you’ve ruled them out. This gives more information about your requirements.</li>
  </ul>

  <p>Remember that if your diagnostic theories were accurate, you wouldn’t be asking for help right?</p>
