I was asked to prepare this presentation by Timothy Green, one of the organisers of this conference:

I've made a fraction-based calculator, for simplifying rational expressions (written in ANSI-C using vi)

I was aiming to merge a scientific calculator with "bc", because I often need to simplify various fractions and whatnot. Quite happy with the result!

Uses shunting yard algorithm to evaluate the expressions, and a naive descent parser (I think?) to tokenise

Aside: OpenBSD's "editline" is very easy to use

Please ask any questions 😀

"This week on #ReimaginingTheInternet, Nathan Schneider (@ntnsndr) explains how poor democracy on major social media platforms has eroded our actual democratic governance, and how practicing democracy in everyday ways can teach us how to practice it well again.

Nathan Schneider wrote the fantastic #GovernableSpaces, out now on UC Press and freely available online."

110. Is there hope for democracy in a social media-driven world? Nathan Schneider sees it every day. - Initiative for Digital Public Infrastructure at UMass Amherst

Nathan Schneider has spent roughly 15 years as a journalist and academic trying to understand democracy in the 21st century through Occupy Wall Street, cooperatives, the blockchain, and currently, federated social media.

Cat #PSA: If you clip your (indoor) cat's claws, at the beginning you need to trim a little bit every few days; as the quick recedes gradually, the claws can be trimmed shorter, and they'll be easier to maintain. I noticed that the cats are having an easier time controlling them when they're shorter.

Couldn't find the original source for the diagram.
