In «Principles of Social Evolution», Bourke has a small passage in which he points to mitochondrial transmission as a common…

…theory for the origin of anisogamy, with several authors noting that even in isogamous species organelles have single-parent…

Replying to @tabatkins

…inheritance. He mentions however that there are other opinions and that it’s an unsettled debate.

Replying to @tabatkins

I really enjoyed that book, I would recommend it. I can dig up the references he makes later if you want.

Replying to @wz43rtx

Nan, mais «Les Valseuses» par exemple :)

Replying to @peterdodds

So, the best produced version is one that is inaccessible?

Replying to @peterdodds

But available << accessible. To people with visual disabilities, to people who only have mobile devices, etc. PDF is pretty bad.

Replying to @peterdodds

Yes, we are getting towards that with HTML. Part of the problem is getting from non-semantic formats that authors use to that.

Replying to @mikewest

It's also a source of painful bugs. It could at least move down the obsolescence hierarchy in the spec.

Replying to @Sniperovitch and @bortzmeyer

That can't be worse than the French version.

Replying to @xchaotic

Neither of those options apply, not are they really attractive. Too generic.

Replying to @xchaotic

Thanks, but no need for secrecy. We’re not using a triple-store, we operate on JSON-LD and never leave that.

Replying to @xchaotic

We will certainly not use OWL. We are just looking around to see if someone has interesting solutions to graph merging.

Yeah, that’s what I was thinking. It was well over a year here :) @yoavweiss @mikewest

«Sing» might help. We were «saved» by Katie Perry. @yoavweiss @mikewest

Replying to @peterdodds

Yes, I’ve thought of that. LaTeX is definitely way better than PDF. Still, it’s very painful to parse right, it encourages…

Replying to @peterdodds

…a *lot* of idiosyncrasy, and it loses a lot of semantics. But it sure is better than nothing, so there’s hope!

That depends on your usage. I don't see this as replacing books so much as printed out PDFs. I have tons of those, inconvenient.

Friday: «Surely, no one will ever reference a given footnote more than 26 times, so the backlinks can be labelled a-z.» Today: 🔥🔥🔥

Replying to @teleclimber

Yeah, I actually know that. The error was more about thinking that it would fail gracefully — it really didn't.

Replying to @teleclimber

I was also amused by *how fast* someone beat a path to that bug, in beta software with few users.

Replying to @null and @nhoizey

Me too! But it does get a little crazy when eg. every cell in a large table has the same footnote…

Could github.com/medialize/ally… not expose the distinction, then make it possible to detect the difference?
