They mean "Sum total" -> "Summary"

As in, that's a more accurate descriptor(?)

I can't find any reference for them supporting it on mobile, and it doesn't work in either on my phone (Android 7.0, for what it's worth). In fact, in Chrome it even fails to display the "not supported" message.

Besides that, I would rather complain that Apple is using an obscure format than complain that Mozilla and Google don't support an obscure format.

EDIT: sorry, it seems mobile Chrome is supposed to work, but it just... doesn't. Still don't see any reference for firefox, though.

With Retina screens, you need _absolutely enormous_ fonts, which is trivial for a vector font, but doesn't really seem to be done with bitmap fonts.

(IMO, you're right about antialiasing, though)

I feel like this is the way to go -- It's too much cognitive overhead, IMO, to get used to multiple (very different) keyboard layouts. The Atreus is a nice solution to that, since it's even pocketable. I also disagree with thumb clusters, but that's another story.

(BTW, the article did mention and link the Atreus, so you probably don't need to dance around it like that)

Sorry, but I can't find what you're referencing with the "as mentioned above" on math; could you clarify?

My biggest problem with the math library was, IIRC, everything only takes float64s, which makes dealing with any of the other number types more difficult than it should be (I shouldn't need to cast an int to a float and back in order to get the max of two numbers).

Kinda offtopic, but this is a bit misleading. The T4x0s series, for instance, makes it very difficult to access anything -- and the T series is known as one of the good ones!

Also, Thinkpads all have a BIOS whitelist that prevents you from actually using the hardware you just easily installed.

If I get what you mean, yeah, it was through Craig. EvD said he was going to help the leftovers, but all he said he could offer me was an RMA'd unit, IIRC (or pay an additional $300 to get an upgraded one).

Jeez, these guys are still around? I ordered an original Pandora somewhere around... October 2008? They never shipped it. $300, plus an additional $100 later at some point, and I never got anything. Kinda kills any interest in further developments.

People are used to this kind of thing by now, but this was pre-Kickstarter... And a lot worse considering other people in the same batch as me did get what they paid for.

If I develop something and get it standardized, it's no longer my technology?

I definitely see your point about most guides detailing how to make your init (I don't understand why so many people just tell you to disable tabs, as though it's understood that everyone prefers spaces), but there are certain things that everyone will want. For instance, when given the choice between an older bytecode file and a newer source file, Emacs loads the older one by default. That sort of thing doesn't really seem like the sort of thing you want people to have to experience for themselves.

(The setting in question I am referring to is load-prefer-newer)

That depends upon such a package already being available -- it doesn't appear that Yi has any.

Small, yes, but they just keep coming. As an example, Pandoc has a tree of something like 70 dependencies on Arch? (I can at least tell you that it has 37 direct dependencies)

It does add up.

If this[1] is what you're referring to, it's because the acknowledgements would make things needlessly wordy.

Do you actually intend on writing a description later, or is that just a joke?

Unfortunately, I don't see how this solves the problem. The main problem for me is this part of my ISP's ToS: "Users may not run any type of server on the system."

Further, every ISP I've ever had has had some such clause. I'd have to get a business plan to actually be allowed to run a server. So who is this, or any home server software, even for?

(Or at least, who in the US)

That doesn't tell you how long you can stay parked. How useful is it to know that you're currently allowed to park, without also telling you it's going to change to "No Parking" as soon as you've left your vehicle?

EDIT: If you could do a countdown timer to the next state, though, that'd be useful.

Yeah, I changed the CSS with the inspector. I don't know if it's because I have a low resolution screen, but I can't actually read it at all without doing this.

Try changing the font-width instead.

I absolutely hate it when websites use fonts this thin, too.

Regarding the Windows build: I just installed it, post-install size is 69.1MB. I feel like a factor of two means my point about emacs not being that big still stands :)

Static builds also pose somewhat of a problem when it means I have to rebuild all the dependencies for every update... I've run into this on Arch when clearing out makedeps for hard drive space (those 50 packages probably aren't all hard deps but I don't want to go against the will of my package manager). I know this is a solvable issue, I just wish it was easier.

Also, I recognize the issues it poses here, but syntax highlighting inheriting from font-lock is one of my favorite things about the HTML exporter.

EDIT: Accidentally duplicated a predicate by duplicating a predicate.

EDIT2: I'll just expand my response

The whole-page templating thing is a problem I've been trying to work around myself, but I've had too much fun thinking about it to actually get started on anything. At some point writing another HTML exporter feels kinda mundane and I get the idea that I need to work on a ConTeXt exporter since it hasn't been done before.

I like Markdown's syntax more than that of org-mode, but I don't like the lack of standardization. I kinda wish all the (popular) flavors were a subset of Pandoc Markdown so as to keep compatability... But that's never going to happen.

I love the idea of Literate Programming, and moreover pandoc is one of my absolute favorite tools. As such, I find this very interesting.

However, I take issue with your complaint about Emacs being so huge -- pandoc is right up there, too (134 vs 89MiB on my system). Not to mention its seemingly endless stream of dependencies (50 packages according to my manager), as well as GHC which is over 700MB on its own. If you work with Haskell, this might not be too big of a deal, but otherwise you might need all this for pandoc alone. This is actually an issue for me with my tiny laptop SSD (this ends up consuming more than 5% of my root partition) -- I'm always debating removing pandoc, but never do because it's just such a great tool.
