@mburnsmath.bsky.social Hi! I just gifted "Math For Smarty Pants" to a 7 year old smarty pants in my life. 1) The book was extremely formative for me, so thank you from the bottom of my heart for it. 2) I wonder, given the timing and content, were you inspired by Godel Escher Bach? Thank you again!!

Hey hey, looks like the three Polish editions of our books are out! Proud to be a part of Open Beta. (Please share with any Polish friends.) Here's JAGGED ALLIANCE 2 by @tinysubversions.bsky.social: wydawnictwoopenbeta.pl/p/game-story...

Aw thanks! Yeah, I put out some software today to help devs with Fediverse interop, but I would love to see someone run with this model in other ecosystems like ATP too!

he hasn't cross-posted here yet, but @tinysubversions.bsky.social built a pretty cool piece of protocol ecosystem tooling for ActivityPub. AT lexicons are stricter/simpler for interop than JSON-LD (IMHO), but there are still corner-cases, and I could see things like this being helpful for atmo
