Nice to see multiple of us are on here. > I imagine most of these checks (definitely all $7 of mine) The 0x$2.00 check I got from 10 Feb 2020 was for one typographical item in Volu…

The author should have written to Donald Knuth with an interview request for this piece. It would have added something special beyond just repeating what's already visible on his w…

There is no built-in detection of content changes in the standard, but it is designed to be potentially robust to changes. It depends what type of specifier you use. The data model…

I'm not sure where else to complain so I will just leave this example here. I was frustrated reading the specification because it contradicts itself. The data model has a required …
