Don't get hug up on "invented". Ruth Asawa registered for (1956) and received US patent 185,504 on June 16, 1959 at the suggestion of her professor, Buckminster Fuller.
Don't get hung up on "patent". You can't patent an idea, you patent a specific implementation of an idea.
The boy experimented to find the optimal parameters (height, width, angles) for load bearing of that earlier invention.
So, the result of his work would warrant a new patent, of course with reference to all earlier patents of which his work is an improvement.

just download with curl as html

Though I'd rather download a PDF or ePub.
I would say that the current format is a 'book' in content, but not a 'book' nor an 'e-book' in form, as you can't manipulate it as a single object. But I've seen a few other examples here on HN where people showed off a 'book' purely as a website.
What are we seeing here? The hijacking of a subdomain?

Feedback about a technical aspect of your blog, not about the contents of the article: unfortunately the HTML title of the page is not the title of the article, but the title of your website.
As a consequence, when I print your blogpost to a PDF file to read it offline at a later time, the filename of the saved PDF has no clues whatsoever about what the article is about.
It's probably a pirate station, deliberately broadcasting on the same frequency. Contrary to FM modulation, with AM modulation two superimposed signals one the same frequency are demodulated as if they came from one transmission.

I like minimalistic tools and designs! But I don't like minimalistic documentation.
You included an example with .md files and a template, but I would like to see what Kew generated from it, without having to run the program.
How exactly does templating work in Kew? Does it fully support the 'rc' templating from Werc, or is it purely Lowdown-based with optional HTML wrappers?
Are the config options as shown in config.go the complete set, or does Kew support more config options like Werc does?
Centrino commented on US seizes oil tanker off coast of Venezuela usatoday.com/story/news/p... · Posted by u/geox
Maduro is a corrupt dictator who holds sham elections, but that does not change the fact that he unfortunately is the president of the internationally recognized government. Will you also propose US seize Turkish or Russian freighters because Erdogan and Putin "won" elections under highly suspect circumstances?
If Putin came out in 2020 and said "I do not recognize Joe Biden as US president, he stole the election, Donald Trump was the real winner, so I am sanctioning America and seizing American LNG tankers" everyone would take that as a hostile action and even a casus belli.
