We have a second cohort reading this book right now (the first was while Alex was writing it, and it was really cool to see it solidify). Check out dslc.club/do4ds and dslc.video/do4ds

Patreon technically takes a bigger cut, but it's more straightforward to work with, so I don't have a super strong opinion yet. Long-term GH is probably better but I think it's a bit scarier for people. If you're willing to go through GH, sure, that'd be great!

As of right now we have 9 supporters on Patreon + 1 on GitHub (at github.com/sponsors/rfo..., but github.com/sponsors/dsl... is probably the URL I should promote most over there). Thank you so much to everyone who has pledged! It's heart-warming to know this work is important to people!

For the record: @opus1993.bsky.social was our first subscriber for this iteration. Thanks so much, Jim! As of right now we have 9 total subscribers so far! Thank you so much, everybody!

I don't think Ben is active on social media these days (although now I need to dig cuz bsky had a couple maybes), but I had nothing but respect for the love and mission that went into this package: cran.r-project.org/package=signs
signs: Insert Proper Minus Signs
Provides convenience functions to replace hyphen-minuses (ASCII 45) with proper minus signs (Unicode character 2212). The true minus matches the plus symbol in width, line thickness, and height above ...

I acknowledge and respect your proper usage of different dashes. Strong work! 😎

Ok, I'll try to add some! That code has been a useful learning exercise already. It's been multiple decades since I looked at any C code, but it's starting to MOSTLY make sense
