Shoot me an e-mail: hello (at) zrkrlc (dot) com
On the contrary, I wouldn’t be using Capacities if they didn’t have their entire development roadmap on your product, so thanks
Not a lot going on there but some people have told me they really like my essays so I elected to put my favourite ones online.
It's probably highly unpalatable to modern Western sentiments (e.g., one of the chapter titles is "Trauma Does Not Exist") but it otherwise has really original lessons that I haven't seen articulated elsewhere, despite the sometimes overly formal English translation.
It's a rigorous but chatty textbook in the style of Spivak but written by someone who is sensitive to applied maths. I would not have survived my astrophysics classes without it.
(Not to mention it's where I first saw this really intuitive way of doing matrix multiplication: https://blogs.ams.org/mathgradblog/2015/10/19/matrix-multipl...)
BTW, you have a typo in one of your examples.

With the advent of tools like git and nix, one wonders if the time is now ripe for chronology-centered interfaces. I frequently find myself wishing to have an integrated VCS in my filesystem (or at the very least, being able to treat my entire computer as if it were in a git repo so I can roll back changes) even if I'm on NixOS where you're basically on your own for files in your home directory.
It doesn't even have to be a complete replacement: you can imagine a tiny slider than can allow you to walk through the previous states of your desktop to see how your work evolves over time. But I guess (bi)temporality and immutability are still new ideas, and even in such a fast-moving field like ours it takes a while for certain things to trickle down from ivory towers.
