I used to link to sections of webpages using anchor links, or have jump links pointing to id tags.
I went back to a page where I've done this in the past, and the page has been entirely rewritten with non-semantic HTML. Class descriptors have random suffixes for CSS rather than providing semantic IDs that can be used as jump links as well as, uhhh, semantic organization of a web page.
There's a lot of bad things from the 1980s and 1990s that I am glad to leave behind, but…

Having AI available to answer questions about HR 5371, the bill to fund the Federal govt, sure is convenient, isn't it?

You see a detective on the TV and he’s interviewing all the suspects asking them what they were doing on the night of the murder a month ago last Tuesday night.
And on the TV, the suspects all know. Right away.
If you asked me ten years ago though, I’d have had barely any clue. If you’re lucky it’d have been something planned in my calendar but mostly, dunno. Watching TV maybe? No idea what show. Was that a night I was in the pub?
As we all get older this problem increases I’m told. Eventually full on senility sets in.
But what if you have already built the habit to record what you’re doing? To be able to look back and revise and review how you spent your days? An external aid as a crutch to your own forgetful brain’s cortex?
So I started this Exocortex Log over a decade ago and now I can answer: Ten years ago on Tuesday I was having dinner with the guitarist from my band and his girlfriend and they burned the pudding.
The app has been half finished and barely able to even record let alone review for most of that time, but now it’s ready enough that someone else might use it too if they want.

9. How does the means of publication change a work? print? digital? audiobook? something else?

9. I do only digital so my answers are limited. I wouldn't change my preexisting work to fit the publishing format (I am naive enough to believe it fits most formats I need 'as is'). But creating a new work (or recreating it) would get a lot from le…
