Essentially yes, but I’m looking for something sufficiently formal (ie. not just from developer craft) that it can be ported to…

…other domains of knowledge. Eg. it’s fine for an organism to act upon its cells (and vice-versa), but not directly upon organelles.

As for 2+2, the fact that people can do it without 100s of pages of the Principia implies it's vaguely grounded. @benwerd @pwan

I'm not saying there aren't better stories, just that opposing them to "facts" makes the latter weaker. @benwerd @pwan

More readable & logical code? Easier CSS? Outline-based default styles? More obvious semantics for newcomers? @Una

Except it's h2+outline if you want to avoid issues with consumers granting h1 special status. It has no default style. @Una
Replying to @jaffathecake
All the other hX ought to be deprecated given h. @Una
Replying to @jaffathecake
*Your* option has no correct default style. section > section > section > h1 is just h1, wrongly. @Una

My bad, I'd forgotten it works for h1 but none of the others.

Important: if you get a new Touch Bar MBP, do NOT restore from Time Machine. You are likely to semi-brick it, as I just did.
Instead, go through install and all updates, then run migration assistant. Third time through this in a row...
Reason is apparently Touch Bar has its own OS (don't ask) and initial restore from backup can wipe rights to the mandatory EFI upgrade. Fun!

Encrypting is easy, I’m just wondering if there’s prior art on the specific issue.
Replying to @adam42smith
I’m curious: what are you using it for?
Replying to @adam42smith
Nice. We’re encrypting participants in peer review so that you can see the paper trail even if you can’t see the identities.
Replying to @alexmilowski
Values, so we're thinking typed values with a crypto marker.
Replying to @null and @dauwhe
But what I need is encryption more than signature. Also, isn’t DRM evil or something? :)
Replying to @alexmilowski
Well, basically at a framed subtree we encrypt all the values down (but not the property names).
Replying to @null and @marcosc
That’s always good, though of course I’ll use a library that I expect to use the browser API if available :) @harryhalpin
Replying to @innovimax
Mh understanding is that that’s for signing, not encryption.

Nope. Node's and the browserify version are good.

Here it's after a champagne lunch but I'll definitely take that option!
Replying to @null and @amyvdh
The Anthropic Principle is definitely circular, but that doesn't qualify it as a final cause. It's a bit of a weird case.
Replying to @alanstearns
Interesting, but I'm not sure I agree. You seem to imply that all singular events are acausal?
Replying to @null and @amyvdh
I think circularity is a red herring. The heart of the issue is whether you can say it entails *function* IMHO.

Yes, sometimes it is. When it screws over the little guy + open source and helps established giants is not one of those times.

Absolutely. It is also 100% orthogonal to EME.
