    What's your point? Shell is also standardized by POSIX.

    That's not how I see it. Yes, the employer (the organization) may be psychopath but I am not interacting with an organization while having a difficult conversation. I would be inte…

    Does AsciiDoc have a nice way to ignore all LaTeX code enclosed within $...$ (inline math), $$...$$ (displayed math), \(...\) (inline math), and \[...\] (displayed math)? I think o…

    Wow! Can you share your story more? What does your application do? Why did you choose BASIC 35 years ago? Did the question about rewriting it another language come up anytime? How …

    Similar topics are coming up often on HN recently. I think it's time Markdown should be supported natively by browsers. Until then, there are things like: TeXMe ( https://github.co…

    When we go from 2 pairs of rabbits to 3 pairs of rabbits, we see a brother and sister rabbit mating to produce a pair of offsprings. This does not sound realistic and could also be…

    I have a similar but simpler setup. The crucial difference in my setup is that instead of using full blown LaTeX, I use TeXMe -- https://github.com/susam/texme -- which supports Ma…
