Talented writers don’t need italics, but they can make good use of it if it’s available. Being able to add hypertext links to certain words is like that, but so much more powerful. Italic and bold emphasis are information-density additives. But as Kottke observes, used deftly, hypertext links are an information-density multiplier.

I’m just taking a more active role in my life. What that looks like for me is, I have a bunch of different hobbies and I’m trying out new things every week, but mostly just creating. I have so much time to write things, draw things, paint things, sew things, sculpt things, and also take classes in New York City. There’s so many great free resources for high school students.

In Unison, since definitions are identified by a content hash, arbitrary computations can just be moved from one location to another, with missing dependencies deployed on the fly. The basic protocol is something like: the sender ships the bytecode tree to the recipient, who inspects the bytecode for any hashes it’s missing. If it already has all the hashes, it can run the computation; otherwise, it requests the ones it’s missing and the sender syncs them on the fly. They’ll be cached for next time.
