       guess who just got incredibly pissed off at the amd docs portal, hacked together a scraper, and is now sitting on 50GB (and counting) worth of (mostly) Xilinx docs

       so the PDFs are easy enough to deal with. I’ll need to organize them a bit, but whatever.however, a significant number of docs is now published in html format. and amd in their infinite wisdom decided to publish that via some unholy JS viewer contraption that fetches one section at a time, and stitches them together in some infinite scroll way (which of course breaks all the time, hence me getting incredibly pissed off)which means I’m now downloading 619701 HTML documents of the average size of ~2kB. and then I get to glue them together into something that is actually readable.
