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. Bes

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 c

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 o

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

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 devel

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 t

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. [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 ISP I've ever had has had some such

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 vehi

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

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 (
