Dark Theme for the Blog
Just finalized the dark theme for the blog. The idea is simple, use

On Common Misuse of the File Formats
A small rant about text file format holy wars. I believe that most of the file formats that participate in these holy wars are rather good and the most of the frustration comes from their misuse.

Bitbucket to Remove Mercurial Support
So Mercurial lost its biggest hosting platform. Sad to see it because I always thought that it has much more usable CLI and much better branching system for corporate development than git.
After much consideration, we've decided to remove Mercurial support from Bitbucket Cloud and its API. Mercurial features and repositories will be officially removed from Bitbucket and its API on June 1, 2020.

Farewell to Jekyll
Just ported the blog to Pelican and removed all Jekyll files. Currently it seems the most logical choice for me
First, I started to use reST much more extensively than Markdown and I want a blog generator that supports it better
Second is my new interest in Python
Third, Pelican seems to have much more features that I like compared to Jekyll and other static generators that I tested, especially Python ones (however Nikola also seems a good alternative but I had to stop at something)
UPD (May 2020): Nikola feels waaay better.

RubyMine Supports Markdown
Wow. It seems RubyMine and other JetBrains products now have very nice Markdown support. I haven't even noticed it until last article. (I usually had MultiMarkdown plugin installed)
Killer feature for me is that it allows working with code blocks of known languages as if it was real code, even have code completion and some basic inspections there.

In the beginning there was a Gemfile. And the Gemfile contained
