Agree with your observation. Blake and Durer both worked in printmaking. I wonder if the processes and aesthetics there resulted in some detectable affinity between their works.

Can’t help but think of the 2002 Ted Chiang novelette “Liking What You See” and its tech “Calliagnosia,” a medical procedure that eliminates a person’s ability to perceive beauty. Excellent read (as are almost all his stories, imho). https

FWIW, I find the high-level overview more useful, because then I can write a script tailored to my situation. Between `bash`, `aws` CLI tool, and Powershell, it would be straightforward to programmatically apply this remedy. Here's som

Fascinating topic. There are two ways the user/client/browser receives reports about the character encoding of content. And there are hefty caveats about how reliable those reports are. (1) First, the Web server usually reports a

Would you consider rolling your own? Python’s goose3 has worked well for me in article extraction. It seemed to be successful more often than trafilatura and newspaper3k.

Keywords of use to you might be “mock data” “mocks” and “mocking”. There are lots of tools, even for generating specific data types (names, emails, json, location coordinates, etc. etc.).

@Tomte, you may be conflating two concepts in software distribution. Yes, TeX Live is also distributed via mirrors (typically, FTP sites). But with the BitTorrent protocol, there are not mirrors in this same sense. There are just the seeder

The installer in the ISO that is the topic of the article installs official 2024 TeX Live. I tested it via installing it to confirm this prior to creating the torrent. The torrent file at https://www.tug.org/texlive/acq
