I think semantically this is the perfect choice. Considering the history and intended use of PI. As an aside, I’m still rather annoyed that web components use hyphens. I really tho…

The format mainly, I think. Due to loss of a grant and poor market conditions we have shifted our annual meeting with the board to a virtual format. Which gives me less informal ti…

I work at a nonprofit and the board is largely university librarians. I am asking all of them how have the behavior of their patrons changed in the last five years. How has usage o…

Thanks for that update. I had worked with epub production in the past, but it was probably nearly 15 years ago at this point.

Yes, that is an important point. I guess I was focused mainly on the browser. Which is not the typical way to consume epubs. But you are right that ePubs are essentially packaged X…

I'd argue XHTML did take off and was very widely adopted for the first 5-10 years of the century.

I'm a bit miffed about the dash. I wish it was a colon. Then well established XML could be simply name-spaced in, and then either styled with css and enhanced with JS. I suspect it…

Wow, they throw some serious spars at these duodecimal people: > the problem is that Latin uses base ten, so bases larger than ten end up with names that put a bit too much of an e…

wait is your email really username@username.net? I registered java.lang.string (at) gmail back when I was learning java 20+ years ago. Haven't really used it in over a decade thoug…

I threw it at archive.is for them. https://archive.is/gW1rO

yes, it is frustrating. I also am not quite sure what he is referencing and would be interested in trying out cgrep for myself.

I have seen "AI" in my Dr's office. They have been using it to summarize visits and write after visit notes.

I think this is a case where I simply don't know enough, but couldn't auto-pilot be a lot easier and safer when adding a new axis? A lot fewer things to run into in the air, and if…

A small comment for anyone new to xslt. The author references a wildcard rule in the comments [0]. While that is true, they are calling an identity transformation [1]. Identity tra…

In the late 90s I bought my first "tech book" at 12. I have fond memories of _Sams Tech yourself Perl in 24 hours_. I had read the first few hours already. My mom would drive my br…

FWIW, I see your comment. Also late to the thread though. This ruling is being watched at my office. I want to be a bit anonymous, but we've been doing a much more analogue version…

Understandable. I work in academic publishing, and while the XML is everywhere crowd is graying, retiring, or even dying :( it still remains an excellent option for document markup…

Have you considered XML. TEI, for example, is very robust and mature for marking up documents.

oh man, thanks!

Interesting project thanks for sharing. I've casually tried to track down a voice in weather from that time with no luck, but this project scratches the itch somewhat. When I was y…

> I'd argue that his pragmatic approach to web design — combining web standards with design flair — was what won out during the 90s and early 2000s. Certainly, of the three web des…

Thanks for sharing. I like this idea, and it is something I've wanted to try out for awhile. I've been around since I we would set the font color on the body element, and nest tabl…

Well, we aren't exactly in the need to know here, but the DOD has been studying Climate Change for decades. At least as far back as the Bush administration of the early 00's if not…

I run into the same issues here with banks in the US. It is a real pain in the ass, and makes tracking this sort of information way more time consuming then it needs to be. My othe…

fwiw there are several vim and nvim org-mode attempts. Naturally, there is a lot more tooling built out for emacs.
