I think the way forward here with math and other niche document formats (like MusicXML) is to keep them out of the HTML standards and let people create web component libraries that handle rendering.

As a practical matter this will bring implementations to all browsers much faster than waiting for four large organizations to decide that a format is important and allocate resources. Even better is the real-world experience those libraries will gather so that maybe we get something better than what a committee would have designed in isolation.

For mat specifically, TeX really seems like a better way to go for now. I wrapped KaTeX in a web component so that it's easy to use in HTML: https://github.com/justinfagnani/katex-elements

You use it like:

<katex-inline>c = \pm\sqrt{a^2 + b^2}</katex-inline>

I imagine the equivalent for music will be better than MusicXML

I don't think HTML-typeset math has to look bad. e.g. http://www.deeplearningbook.org/contents/linear_algebra.html Well this particular example is auto-generated and the code looks terrible, but it's not hopeless to get nice math without TeX.

I am with you.

Some people write their math by hand in LaTeX or other formats, but many use visual tools and draw math similar to drawing diagrams. Then those tools generate whatever source code necessary.

In those scenarios, MathML would be much easier to deal with than most other formats. Also, Presentation MathML support is much easier to implement than full-scale support of LaTeX or other more complete math solutions including Content MathML.
This is NOT a court ruling and NOT law. Yet.

Note the word 'advised'. This is a legal opinion from an important individual who looks at the case and tells the court what he thinks. But (i) the court can ignore it or look at the case themselves and make their own opinion; and (ii) any ruling they do make does not bind any EU government to implement it (though it should strongly decisions in EU countries). It's like asking your mechanic friend what he thinks of the car you've got lined up to buy.

As the CJEU press release states:

> NOTE: The Advocate General’s Opinion is not binding on the Court of Justice. It is the role of the Advocates General to propose to the Court, in complete independence, a legal solution to the cases for which they are responsible. The Judges of the Court are now beginning their deliberations in this case. Judgment will be given at a later date.

Buy instant(ish) noodles from an asian grocery. They often have lots of great variety and are cheap and healthier than the ramen you'll usually get in big chain groceries.

I have an FM transmitter, and I still keep a CD in the player in the car and use that more often. It takes time to get everything hooked up.

On drives greater than 30 mins, it's worth it, but if I'm just going someplace ten minutes away (i.e. most of my driving), well I'd be adding an extra 2-3 minutes just hunting down the cord, plugging it in, launching the player, choosing what I want to play, etc.

Meanwhile my CD player starts the instant I turn on the car.

That being said, I did get a Bluetooth FM transmitter recently that has a built-in SD card slot and starts transmitting the SD card music the instant you plug it into the cigarette lighter, so that may eliminate my need for CDs.

Doubt it. We talked to MIT Press about publishing our book and they were extremely hostile to having any way for our readers to produce an un-DRM'd PDF, which is how our book is currently distributed.

Actually, they were mostly just very hostile and unpleasant. This is among the many reasons why we're probably staying independent and printing the book ourselves - so that the digital version stays unencumbered among other things.

It's complex there are few environmental effects from blocking the falls as they are already one way and tend to kill fish that make the trip. However, there is a treaty that set's minimum flow levels and more water is diverted at night to a holding area which is then used for hydro in the day.

Anyway, the area already has plenty of pumped storage it's only by importing a lot of power that you would need to expand. But, at that point you can scale really far with few environmental costs.

Yeah, there are big problems with their UX. I don't think the problem is the "10% more space" or clean design, just bad decisions for simple UX concepts. I would expect something to be somewhere logically, but it's not. Or I would press back and go to a page I've never visited. Or I would want to go somewhere by walking, but they show me a car icon..?! oh wait, I need to press the car, then I can change it to walk. Why not show me an icon that say "Go There" if it's an abstraction for many moving types.

The DE0-CV is a bit more expensive, but I think it's probably better than the Nano for the FPGA 101 type experiments. It's got more on the way of switches and LEDs, and the buttons are a lot easier to get to. I have both, and I had a lot more fun with low level learning activities with the CV than the Nano. Moving past that, I also enjoyed messing with the VGA and SD card peripherals more than the ADC and accelerometer, and also found those easier to add on after the fact.

The funny thing is that no one ever really sold that many copies of an album. The music industry, for all its reach and visibility, is tiny compared to a single 'blockbuster' movie.

I mean, a "gold record" which is pretty rare and often takes months or years for an album to reach is 500k sales. Compare that to movie tickets (which are now about the same price each, and are only a single viewing!), where 500k sales can be a disastrous failure.

> I think you're making good points, but please let me know when semantic editors are available for Go, Rust, JavaScript and Python.

I think there are ports of paredit-like features to those languages in Emacs too, and all the other semantic features of Emacs itself work with those. As long as the language's major mode properly defines what is e.g. a function, a symbol, etc. you can use semantic navigation and editing.

> One other advantage of directly manipulating AST - it's very easily converted into any language runtime you want. It won't matter if you are targeting the JVM, V8 or native bytecode; you can do it all from the same AST. This same thing is possible with plain text code, but not quite as common.

I don't think this is something that AST gives you. AST is just a more machine-friendly representation of what you typed in the source code. Portability between different platforms depend on what bytecode/machine code gets generated from that AST. And since AST is generated from the compiled source anyway as one of the first steps in compilation, getting it to emit a right set of platform-specific instructions means you can compile the original source there too.

And AST doesn't solve the problem of calling platform-specific functions and libraries anyway.

There's no easy solution to this. Mainly because CSS barely knows what a baseline is and there's very little in CSS that affects the baseline or something to that effect. What we call baseline can vary from font-to-font, browser-to-browser, platform-to-platform; all affecting how the font gets rendered.

Plus, based on the description and requirements of the problem it's likely to not be solved because the font-size is an unknown variable in the equation. If it was known how the font-size is determined and applied then maybe something could be leveraged to adjust for the problem.

The easy solution, knowing the font size, is to position a parent element at the coordinate and then move a child element containing the text upward an amount based on the font-size. That way the first line of text in the child element sits on the top line of the parent element, more or less. But we don't know the font-size and it is easily broken if the site is constantly being changed code-wise. In fact, a badly thought out line-height may break it as well.
Agreed (and same).

I get that it's hard to convert web elements (via Chrome) to a readable/nice PDF, but wkhtmltopdf really isn't the miracle tool it is made out to be. Like you, I have to tweak the options majorly, and even then it fails to support proper page breaks between text lines (i.e. a line of text that is cut across a page break looks so unprofessional).

We are in need of a true web to PDF conversion tool; it's one of those things that is overlooked in the business sector but represents quite a valuable niche.

I understand your sentiment. I'm pushing back against it being expressed in terms that promote a naturalistic fallacy. Why? Various reasons, but one is because the naturalistic fallacy is actively harmful, not just as it applies to food.

>This isn't about 'weird' foods like raw milk, or taking things to the nth-degree. It's just common sense advice that humans seldom make a food healthier by tinkering with it. As close to its natural form as possible is invariably best.

That's the thing. The first and last sentence of this quote run contrary to each other in the cited example. When we process raw milk by pasteurizing it, we are making it BETTER. We've tinkered with it, to use your word. "As close to its natural form as possible is invariably best" (emphasis added) is not necessarily true. (As an aside, there is nothing "weird" about raw milk other than your lack of exposure to it. I grew up in rural Wisconsin in the 1980s--as a kid, I've had plenty of raw milk. We all did living there. Heck, I used to milk cows and I once tried to see if I could squirt raw milk directly from the teat into my mouth at arms length--it doesn't get much fresher! As an adult, I avoid raw milk because I know better.)

Related to battered fish, what's better (from a health standpoint): if you batter your own fish or you buy pre-battered fish? All else equal, most people would still say that as a matter of intuition will say that battering your own is better. If "feels" like the correct answer. But the real answer would be that it depends on what you battered it with and what the company battered it with. The reality is that many people who actively complain about "processed foods" are fine with the processing done as long as they are the ones doing it. Regardless of what the reality may be, a homemade noodle somehow feels healthier than a store bought one to those folks.

(And yes, I realize my battered fish question isn't what your fish example was talking about at all. I just ran with it in a different direction and am not trying to misrepresent what you said).

i have a different take on this . I think buffer and pocket have done great work in this year. Obviously pinboard as well.
I am not sure if I am the only one but I think the problem is bookmarking. On HCI terms, bookmarking is not intuitive to how human brains work. Instead we just go through events and the nature of events makes us AUTOMAGICALLY index them in our brain and when we wish to retrieve them our brain just uses that index.

On those lines I think it should be more like log everything that I hit on all my devices and make the search organized. Something similar using apriori algorithm was my school project and I used it a lot until now when I have slowly moved to pocket.

My 2 cents - "In short better to have a smart search and indexing instead of bookmarking "
this is terrible advice. 'real food' is a term that means nothing.

you're simplifying to the point where you aren't any help at all.
You're correct, but the practice is that the advice of the Advocate General is followed by the Court of Justice. So normally it's just a matter of time.
I'm going to say something crazy here: A multinational bank with a quarter-trillion dollar market cap potentially going belly up and crippling the US/world economy is a slightly different scenario than someone with $180k in law school debt not paying it back because they don't have a job or someone not paying back their $50k in student loan debt even though they could.
Depending on the style of tablature used, you can convey rhythm, and more. I'd say it can actually get more specific than staff notation when you allow for guitar specific notation, like all the different types of legato capable, harmonics, and specifying which string to play a note one (it makes a subtle difference).

Here's a screenshot I took of a random song in TuxGuitar (a GNU licensed tablature editor/viewer). You can see the rhythm fairly clearly, as well as the difference between pull-offs and slides.

Speaking as someone who has ported games to other platforms before, it's not as easy as you say. There's almost always platform-specific issues to deal with. It's rarely as easy as "Export -> to Xbox" (although Unity tries real hard to do this, it took us several months to convert one of our games from PC to iOS).

Differences in input, resolution, screen sizes, and RAM often become hurdles that take real time and manpower to overcome, and can be insurmountable, depending on how the game is structured. The companies might have legitimate concerns over whether their time is better spent on porting to new platforms, or spent working on the next title.

That's why you see so many third parties handle the ports, so the core team can move on to new projects.

- Not disclosing base salary (but asking for mine)

- Asking me for a CV when they already have a complete LinkedIn profile (and an online resumé)

- Wanting to "chat" and tossing me into an impromptu phone interview

- Trying to connect on LinkedIn and then going away forever
