I fear that someone may have already written something like that. No?
I most certainly failed to understand how "the whole thing could happen via federated social media". 😅

> What is 2x/3y-1 if x=9 and y=2 ?

julia> x=9; y=2;

julia> (2x/3)y-1
11.0

julia> 2x/(3y)-1
2.0

@freemo None of those. The most frustrating IMO is the argumentum ad verecundiam.

Now, hold right there. Are you talking about creating a collective book? (Is this the correct way to refer to an attempt to create a book written by several people?) There has been some experiences on doing that, I believe. I wouldn't know where to search, but apparently that could be quite interesting. No?

@lydiaconwell
So, basically you're out of good ideas? 😃

@freemo
Now you made me laugh.

@freemo
That's just theory. You should do the experiment first.

You're wrong. Apples could fly, not people.

Should be: "When you define a struct in your code"

@freemo erhaps you're right. I really don't know much about the reality in the States these days.

@freemo "It seems to be at its absolute worst in the USA" because USA is in the center of attention. But it's global.
