@SteveBellovin, I hope you directed your explanation to /dev/tty

@SteveBellovin, I helped my kid set up this minor prank at school

Teacher: Calculators are not allowed during this exam.

My kid: [pulls out a slide rule from backpack.] Is this allowed?

No one but the teacher got it.

This also reminds me of some of the difficulties I've had teaching some […]

@SteveBellovin, I also had the pleasure of explaining many of the jokes and allusions to a younger generation.

For example, you mentioned the Bank of San Seriffe. This led not only to me explaining that number of digits of decimal expansion of 𝜋 I know depends of the number of bugs found in TeX […]

@henryhenryhenry.com @rimaanabtawi.bsky.social, that sounds fascinating.

This is something I have thought about and vaguely constructed some game-theoretic models in my head. But I've never actually made any effort to look at this beyond that. So I really look forward to reading this.

But getting this into the templates created@by […]

@brettcannon @kushal Yay! This should address one of the most annoying things I have with many packages!
