a. That's not a child bullet, it's a paragraph continuation. This exactly demonstrates the problem with RST. Check the specification: http://docutils.sourceforge.net/docs/ref/rst/restructuredtex...

In RST you must have a blank line between parent bullet and child bullet. This really discourages adding small child bullets. In RST you must indent child bullets exactly to the indentation level where the text starts in the parent bullet.

RST has some great ideas (as mentioned in the article, roles and directives are fantastic ideas). But it also has quite a lot of unnecessary complexity built in. It's also great that it (kind of) has a specification, not just a bunch o

Agreed, RST headers are too "flexible". They're also IMO quite annoying to write and maintain (exactly matching the title length) or ugly (overlength).

Another fun fact I always think of when dithering comes up is how Tim Sweeney's software rendered or the original Unreal game used dithering instead of bilinear interpolation for texture mapping. This was very impressive at the time.

A fun (if not terribly effective) algorithm that's missing here is dithering along a Hilbert curve. http://caca.zoy.org/study/part3.html

Agree. Actually I'd already be happy if they stopped moving stuff around for no reason. I get "This object has moved" or worse "This object no longer exists" or just a redirect to some generic "Download Windows

Thank you. I find it very surprising that dependencies on the naked internet are so common nowadays. Why isn't it trivial to build my own package repositories where I mirror the known good dependencies that I need?

There are many HDMI hubs that you can connect to a TV with just one single HDMI port. That doesn't mean "the perfect TV" should have just a single HDMI port.

Notepad++ defaults to Ansi (although it can be changed). Visual Studio defaults to UTF-8 with BOM. (And I don't think you can change that easily.)

It's called elastic tabstops. [1] The page links some editors that implement this and some plugins for other editors. Apparently SublimeText's plugin is incorrect though. It does not mention Atom, but it was discussed in [2]. [1]
