Wow. There was a tiny typo. I found myself thinking, someone who reasons like this should have a protocol for fixing typos, if they eat their own dog food.
I was floored to see the "fix typo" link at the bottom. Submitted. I now wonder if the typo was on purpose.
- matklad 3y agoNo, I am just spelling-impaired (even in my mother tongue) :)

- Syzygies 3y agoI was expressing amazement that you took the time to provide a "fix typo" mechanism. In the real world, many of us would take the time to fix a splinter in a well-traveled floor. I love that your appreciation for robust protocol includes a mechanism for moving the digital world in that direction.
- junon 3y agoThis is a strange position to take. "Someone who uses logic and reasoning should churn out pristine, flawless work."
- Syzygies 3y agoYou misunderstand me. I am amazed by the author's attention to robust protocol design. No one wants to be "that person" who observes a missing space before an open parenthesis, so usually smoothing out flawless work is not a collaborative process. I found myself daydreaming how blogs would work if the author turned their brilliant attention to the process of blogging itself. They would solve such a problem, to encourage collaboration. I was therefore stunned to see a "Fix Typo" link at the bottom. Perhaps this has become widespread, but I'd never noticed it before, and the logic of having this author provide such a link amazed me. Part of what we do in comments is appreciate various aspects of a work. I was appreciating this aspect of this work.
- junon 3y agoAh I did misunderstand, my mistake :)
