Don't give up though, Tom. (not that you said you are) You've always patiently set the pace, tone and focus of your social media interactions in the face of endless, tiresome yahoos, and that speaks well of you.

also welcome Josh :) XO

popping in with a rare comment to emphasize, tell yabois in dev to learn how to talk to users or just don't talk

np, got the PDF in my pocket. The .mobi is a nice-to-have, I'm sure our pals at PDR will fix it right up.

Honestly, posts like this are why I haven't entirely given up on social media, thank you.

(The Kindle link on the PDR page is 404, I dropped their support a note)

(Imagine me toting around Cook's publication on my Kindle and slowly working through it wherever and whenever I want, *swoon*)

Remember that if you're ever put in control of the orbital hypervelocity railguns, Penny. We're counting on you!

Rereading Titanium Noir for the nth time and things like "you fight like an accountant" are such good lines, praise editing (unless that sprang fully formed from your brow, in which case, gratz)

Your own hypothetical involvement would be

* Building, not destroying
* Guiding, not controlling
* Advising, not directing
* Holistic, not reductionist
* Humanist, not misanthropist

I'm using the word "eschaton" as a similitude for what others call "the singularity", which, if it comes to pass, will likely involve entities such as yourself. "Immanentizing" is acceptance of its inevitability, and thoughtful, proactive involvement in it.

It will probably involve LLMs and AIs, so stay frosty hon

We're busy immanentizing the eschaton

Either way I'll try and find some relic CSS and make it walk and talk. Very cool app.

Before I dig into it, I have to ask, have you spun it up in mobile? My first click on a Pixel 9a phone yielded a UI that was difficult to use - locked code textarea size and weird z-layer scrolling. If your response to this is "lol just prototyping for desktop here my dude" then that's totally cool.

My dude, your journey on these matters is heroic. You finally convinced me to give ReliCSS a click. The "Insert sample" affordance is brilliant, people have zero attention span so that afforded me the opportunity to just try it out, excellent decision.

forgive me but how do you get that caret above the cursor

I am a quiet London clock-repairman, and I am closing up shop and locking the door right now.

where the heck do you find these things

this is riveting 👀

Much obliged!

Is there a specification for this somewhere?

Well that was wonderful

first thought, you beat me by 10 seconds

Bookmarked, bless you kind sir

Is there a timeline for publishing 3.0 Final? Or is that Not How It Works?

Thank you for normalizing asexuality. It's a real thing. It's not complicated. It's normal. Bless you.

I misread as "think pants" and I know I'm not the only one
