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 time for discussions.
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 of their subscribed resources changed in the age of AI. They don't share much, but their facial expressions and silence share more than they mean them to. Some universities have cut staff, or reclassified them so that they won't receive benefits.
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 XHTML.
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 wouldn't be that difficult to write something for nginx or apahce that simply converted the colon to a hyphen. Oh well, it cannot be 1999 forever.
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 emphasis on their relationship with decimal: undecimal, duodecimal, tridecimal, etc. people who like base twelve like to call it "dozenal" instead of "duodecimal" for this exact reason. these names are simply too biased in decimal's favor. ideally, every base should have a unique name that reflects its properties, rather than trivial information about its size.
wait is your email really [email protected]? 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 though.
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 you could just rise or fall a couple dozen feet to avoid an collision seems safer.
As an aside, I’m still rather annoyed that web components use hyphens. I really thought colon’s and namespaces made perfect sense there.
