This talk now lives at https://blust.ch/talks/essential-complexity/, alongside Robert Blust's other talks. Its full history was imported into robertblust.github.io before this repository was retired, so nothing here is the only copy of anything — including the deck, the PDF and every commit that produced them.
This repository exists for one reason: links to the old address were already sent to other
people, and they should keep working. index.html is a redirect stub and is the only page
here. GitHub Pages cannot issue a real 301, so it uses a meta refresh, a canonical, and a
scripted location.replace — with a visible link for anyone whose browser does none of
those. The redirect is protocol-relative on purpose, so it works before the certificate for
blust.ch is issued and upgrades itself afterwards.
Everything else has been removed. Adding a CNAME to the user Pages site made this
repository serve under blust.ch too, which put a stale copy of the deck, its PDF and its
rehearsal notes on a public domain where nothing linked to them and nobody would think to
look. git log still has all of it.
Do not develop the talk here. Edit it in robertblust.github.io under
talks/essential-complexity/; this repository is a signpost, not a source.
