This is an 11th century hospital based in an abbey. I love the little monk at bottom right; he's quite clearly saying, "It's fine. He's going to be all right!"

This is a good approach. @marginalia's code is currently on GritHub (giveupgithub.org!). But if they move it elsewhere all they need to do is redirect this URL to the new forge, and any links to it will still work. Same if they decide to self-host a forge, then find it too distracting, and move back to third-party hosting.

Just discovered for myself (even though apparently it is 5 years old) another rare bird - an independent search engine running its own webcrawler & index (most alternatives like DuckDuckGo & Startpage just use Bing or Google's) - and this one is foss, & returned some nicely relevant answers in my quick tests.

Unusually, this is not an original. It's a modern copy of a 10th-century piece which was presumably in poor condition. I haven't seen the original, but I'm assuming this is a faithful copy... well, mostly. I'm pretty certain mediaeval scribes didn't have access to a metallic light blue. The figures, though, look *very* authentic.

A lovely 12th-century illuminated capital today. I think the expression and the body language of the woman on the left are absolutely priceless.

Oh, the connection between magic and mathematics is well known. @cstross has written a fair bit about events involving applied computational demonology, for example.
If there really is no comment syntax for magic spells, that's unfortunate. It means practitioners probably end up scrawling their notes to themselves as marginalia, and I don't know if the magic could leak across from the main spell or what undesirable side-effects that might have.

A slightly unusual one today, partly because it's a full page, and partly because it's in English. This is a lovely 12th-century page from Chaucer's "Canterbury Tales".

Marathon day tomorrow…
Well, it's been a long road since I raced the dinosaurs at a New Year's Day parkrun. I've managed various niggles (knee, glute, achilles... yawn). I've run around the amazing Ladybower Reservoir, across St Mark's Square, even chased Alistair Brownlee down Regent's Park Canal. (He is faster than the dinosaurs.)
And tomorrow: it's my first marathon. Quite possibly my only marathon. I'v

"The history of #Emacs completion frameworks is a progression from monolithic solutions toward composable ones."
This is a comprehensive summary, with a thorough and fair history. A long read, but worth it.
I plateaued at #Vertico #Orderless #Marginalia #Consult years ago. Maybe time to learn the others, one at a time.

Running a marathon for Winnie
On 26 April, I plan to be on the start line of the London Marathon. I’m in my fifties, I’ve only been running for a few years, and this will be my first marathon. I’m doing it to raise money for the Teenage Cancer Trust (TCT).
Cancer is brutal for anyone. For teenagers and young adults, it can be isolating in a particular way: while friends are setting off on the adventures o
