Until I switched, it would only peer with other Tier 1 providers 2000 mi away from my location, even though there is a large IX 5 mi from home co-located with a large regional ISP with several other networks and appliances connected to it.
I filed a complaint but it is impossible to escape the event horizon of the customer service black hole, and customer protection regulation agents fail to appreciate how clownish it is to have 100 ms ping to my university 5 mi away.
So I switched and recommended everyone within earshot to do so as well.
To this day I fail to understand the logic behind not peering locally.
For me, breaking from not just a 40-year-old history of mathematical typesetting but also from the American Mathematical Society recommendations is the dagger. Plus doubling work if you want to reuse what you wrote to render MathJax or KaTeX.
> $\alpha x$ is correct and $\alpha\beta$ is correct, but $\alphax$ is not.
Like you said, braces can be used so all of the following are valid: ${\alpha}x$, $\alpha{x}$ or the odd $\alpha{}x$.

First, it presents the snapshot of donations within a given year to the Foundation. The history of donations is not represented by definition.
Second, it does not present contributed development. Those are typically summarily available on the release notes of each release [1].
What?? I am a heavy user of the Internet Archive services, not just the Wayback Machine, including official and "unofficial" clients and endpoints, and I had absolutely no idea the extension could do this.
To bulk archive I would manually do it via the web interface or batch automate it. The limitations of manually doing it one by one are obvious, and the limitations of doing it in batches requires, well, keeping batches (lists).

Most people may be unaware that Garmin has a strong foothold in the stringently regulated avionics industry, in particular in flight instruments, displays, deck and others human-machine interface products. In turn, specific regulations informed by ergonomics research are unambiguous in prioritizing safety and unanimously contain minimum usability requirements.
As an example, an AC [1, Ch. 7] advises on (electronic display) control devices, and another AC [2] advises on design and evaluation of controls and displays. The software-defined counterparts have immensely harder requirements that must be satisfied, which, in my reading, is incompatible with pure touchscreen devices.

Sure, I can ask for it to write (wrong) boilerplate but it is hardly where work ends. It is up to me to spend the time doing careful due diligence at each and every step. I could ask for it to patch each mistake but, again, it relies on a trained, skillful, many times formally educated domain expert on the other end puppeteering the generative copywriter.
For the many cases where computer programming is similar to writing boilerplate, it could indeed be quite useful but I find the long tail of domain expertises will always be outside the reach of data-driven statistical learners.
Critically, the enumerated computational processing units are global transformations, while tampering is inherently a local, "contentful" transformation.
I submitted a link here earlier in the same spirit that you might appreciate:

I only contend on two things. First is recommending Strunk and White - in general a style guide should not stifle writers' voices and instead equip them with tools to express their own. Here I would rather recommend the far more authoritative and comprehensive The Chicago Manual of Style [1]. Second is excess punctuation - easily incurs in too much line noise. You should generally avoid adding distracting elements seldom added pro forma.
The best source for me has been the Handbook of Writing for the Mathematical Sciences by Nicholas J. Higham [1]. His I can fully get behind. Another is Writing Mathematics Well by Leonard Gillman [3]. Still another is Mathematical Writing by Franco Vivaldi [4].

As someone trying to develop numerical “enterprise” applications in the most boring, maintainable and longevous stack as possible, am I to write and maintain my own foreign function interfaces?
We need more apps like this in every category.
The collector in me loves compilations like this and I would like to take the opportunity to remind everyone links rot with time so please archive them!
