It’s also available on GNU Info, of course.
Picture reminded me of this painting
whats the sauce?
Salvador Dali - Corpus Hypercubus
Yes! That’s exactly the inspiration.
Very fun. We should make a debian package to install the manpage via apt.
First, you should read Anti-Oedipus for background: https://files.libcom.org/files/Anti-Oedipus.pdf
Lol, you know the lore
Thanks!
I was actually wondering if this could be packaged. At least AUR should be doable.
An AUR package feels especially fitting here—the act of installing it and opening it with man would make the distribution format part of the reading experience, not just another download option.
What’s the blue icon at the very bottom of the thumbnail, below Svelte? I’m familiar with the others, but not that one.
That’s “Backbone” (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backbone.js)
It was the hot front-end framework before Angular (and React).
Wait, there’s even two similar ones below Svelte?
Are they both just variants of the Backbone logo because genAI?
Great question! Yes, Backbone appears twice.
First, it’s artistic license. I think the Backbone.js school is the “backbone” of our current front-end era, for better or worse. So, it fits that the backbone of the hyper-cubical cross is represented by Backbone.js (twice). Spoiler alert: The cover art’s meaning becomes clear around the halfway point on the book, if you’re curious.
Second: Yeah, that was a “happy accident” by genAI. To be fair the first $50 that gets donated for this book on my Kofi link go directly to commission a real artist for a cover remake.
Ah, thank you! 🙏
