    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 displ…

    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 antial…

    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 …

    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 …

    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,…

    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 $30…

    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 n…

    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 e…

    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 d…

    If this[1] is what you're referring to, it's because the acknowledgements would make things needlessly wordy. [1]: https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/bsd.html

    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 I…

    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…

    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 buil…

    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 …
