No problem :) Mysterious are the ways of upvotes. It's not entirely random—I would expect a post from ciechanow.ski to be reliably upvoted—but there's a fair amount of chance (which is why there's a manually curated "second-chance pool"). I don't know how Levenson's article didn't get more attention.
It is a stunning coincidence that it was posted just yesterday though; as far as I can tell there's no connection between that article being posted (given that it got hardly any attention) and “The Greatest Counterfeiter” being posted (which led to my comment).
- delta_p_delta_x 3y agoInterjection: I've been reading through your WordPress, and I really enjoyed your commentary on Sanskrit literature! The juxtaposition of Sanskrit amongst Python and maths makes for a very pleasant reading experience.
- svat 3y agoThank you. I don't know how deep you want to go into Sanskrit literature, but if you liked the blog posts, you may also enjoy my friend's posts/essays on Sanskrit literature (I had a small part in proofreading and making some minor edits), mostly written during 2012–2015: https://sadasvada.com https://sadasvada.com
- delta_p_delta_x 3y agoSadāsvāda looks amazing. Thanks for this! I have very little Sanskrit proficiency, but I enjoy reading it (or at least, well-transliterated Sanskrit) all the same.
