Thank you for your post on virtual memory. Though I still don't understand it, I have a better idea of how much I don't know.

In case anybody else here uses neatroff to format their papers, here's some code for references in the style of the American Mathematical Society. https://kaa.run.place/ref.go

Yes, that could work. I may spend a paragraph explaining the relative failures of competitors, such as Forth, and Lisp, and APL.

I have now found that Firefox and friends will hyphenate pages only if both the language are set in the tag and the strange -moz-hyphens and -webkit-hyphens are set to auto. I am unsure if this is less or more obscure than the wrapper code I wrote around libhyphen.

Taketwo: I've got the tools to do that. I'm currently renting a domain from godaddy.com, which provides an API to create sub-domains. I've got a VPS connected to that domain. However, somebody else has already done this project. https://tilde.institute/stats All they're missing is a pretty interface.

To anybody who uses `text-align: justify;' and can run `make': Please run a program I wrote, for our mutual benefit. You get better looking text, I get bug reports and a sense of fulfillment. Compiles and runs on Linux and Windows, presumably on Mac. git clone git://mesacsclub.com/hyp

New and Improved: the singular dependency, `libhyphen', is included in-tree. The build path is now compiled in to the program without manual intervention. Compiling on Windows is as simple as installing a compiler, a shell, and then running `make win/hyp.exe'.

I went looking for web sites which use `text-align: justify', however the lack of consistent hyphenation seems to have caused aversion from it. Since this is a chicken-and-egg problem, a web page I have written with justification in mind is provided in the `demo' directory, before and after hyphenation.

I happened upon an interview between the Computer History Museum and Chuck Bigelow, partial author of Lucida and the Go fonts. His explanation of the rationale behind the Go fonts was enjoyable to find, and has been excerpted here.

This is a great start :) As mentioned in the post, even people experienced with systems have trouble with it. And thank you for the comment, I've always loved your website (every once in a while, I go and check your "appreciated" page, it's wonderful)
