There are only two families of proper arbitrary markup languages: TeX and SGML I would normally link to official thing as reference but it's behind the "wonderful" ISO paywall: ISO 8879:1986.. By arbitrary, I mean the grammar specifically, and how it can …

If I were to recommend you use a piece of cryptography-relevant software that I created, how would you actually know if it was any good? Trust is, first and foremost, a social problem. If I told you a furry designed a core piece of Internet infrastructure,…

It’s my last day of writing for the year, so I’m going to try keep this one quick – it was knocked out over three hours, so I hope you can forgive me if it’s a bit clumsier than my usual writing. For some strange reason, one of the few clear memories I hav…
