This looks nice, with a much more legible syntax than LaTeX. I'd love to use this, e.g., on my blog. The reasons why I won't: - No server-side rendering. I don't want to burden my reader's browser with Javascript. (With MathJax, you can do it server-side, I explained how here: https://a3nm.net/blog/selfhost_mathjax.html) - The project looks dead: https://github.com/asciimath/asciimathml/pulse/monthly

A friend of mine recently tried out Wayland and swaywm and blogged about it here: https://a3nm.net/blog/wayland.html. It might interest you :).

I wanted to buy it until I read this: http://a3nm.net/blog/typematrix_review.html Dvorak is cool, but you don't need typematrix to feel its benefits. I use normal keyboards to type dvorak, all you have to do is to change the keyboard layout.

Yes, but they are only exchanging a constant amount of information to fool the server challenge, whereas we could hope to do better if the server builds challenges which use information that he knows the client has. For some reason, this inspired me to write a blog post: http://a3nm.net/blog/deduplication_attacks.html and http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2489594

It is saddening to see so much pessimism in the thread. Tight regulations on reproducibility are the first thing academia needs. Academia is a rat race with so much dishonesty and optimizing for measure (citation count etc..) these days. I have seen too many of professors producing low quality papers for the sake of producing papers - which creates a lot of noise, and a cargo cult PhD culture. Without reproducibility how can you even trust the results? While academic code doesn't adhere to code quality standards of software development, I don't think many software engineers involve in ridiculing the author if they produce the code, leave alone other academics. Btw, I submitted a link (a very comprehensive article by a CS academic) but it was lost in the HN noise. Maybe someone with higher karma points repost that? I found that article through nofreeview-noreview manifesto website and that's very well written, it covers a number of problems like this.. (http://a3nm.net/work/research/wrong).. PS I am no way affiliated to the author. Just mentioning because that article deserves to be at HN front page.
