> Please don't insinuate that someone hasn't read an article. "Did you even read the article? It mentions that" can be shortened to "The article mentions that."
This has nothing to do with the article. This has to do with sources the poster chose as evidence to support a position. It is definitely relevant to question whether a poster has read and understood their own citations, particularly when those citations are not very good or contradict the poster.
It's very relevant if the OP read the article or not. Makes his/her argument stronger/weaker because the articles are used as basis for the argument. So 'Did you even read the article?' is a valid question.
I don't know if the citations therein are cherry-picked, but oddly enough it seemed like mostly what you might call "public intellectuals" on the "it's not so bad" side and lower-profile ordinary lab/field scientists on the "doom and gloom" side - a bit of a reversal from the usual trope
A few years ago I attempted to make the writings of Richard Garlikov a little more approachable, as his website is very basic.
I never finished it as the process of converting each article into HTML was very tedious.
I've uploaded an example to Imgur [0] and I’d be happy to share all resources if anyone is interested.
I would be interested in using Pollen[0], or Racket, to construct an online eBook in the vein of Matthew Butterick's work[1]. Does that sound like something you would like to see?
I'm not sure I am seeing the full picture here - did you contact him to discuss improving his design, and this is your WIP from that effort? Or did you take his content on your own and try to create a 'better' copy?
Including the year and month on a project file means it can stand independent of it's directory for easy distinction in search, meaning you can find relevant files in a way that is uncomplicated and easy to understand.
[Edit] As dkarl mentioned more elegantly: this system helps map a project in time.
YYMM on project files is shorter and less ambiguous than using a project name for the same function.
I'd imagine the sub-directory underscore is also used to aid searching. You can easily visually identify (or filter) sub-directories.
> The initial underscore helps by (a) keeping those directories sorted [separately] and (b) providing a visual clue that they are 'special'. [0]
This is the first time I had heard of George Spencer-Brown and his primary algebra. At first glance, it looks like C.S.Peirce's existential graphs, without the quantifiers.
His Twitter [1] is also a fun and interesting place, check it out.
