No idea, but if you have only two backslashes instead of four, the matrix would appear as a single row, like [a bc d]. That said, \\begin renders the same as \begin.

Finally a long-awaited feature. Works nicely in dark mode too. However, it simply uses MathJax. Also there are some minor annoyances. For example you need to escape the backslashes, so it takes 4 backslashes to make a newline in your matrix

When compiling dllup to LaTeX, it is possible to just use \label but I haven't implemented that functionality in dllup to html yet. You can also consider pandoc's markdown flavor that supports equations and references: https:

The dual of a geodesic polyhedron, e.g. an icosahedron whose faces have been subdivided is in fact a common and excellent choice for geospatial applications, with https://github.com/uber/h3 being a good implementation.

Yes, I am not disagreeing with you. Sony's mirrorless bodies are presently the best and the Sony GM lenses also have the best-in-class image quality, surpassing DSLR lenses. For example the Sony GM 135mm f/1.8 is the sharpest avai

There are still several companies making lenses for the system. For example, Cosina has a lineup of high quality manual-focus M43 lenses such as the recently released Voigtlander Nokton 60mm f/0.95: http://www.cosina.co.jp&#

They are not using Sony sensors. They are using CMOSIS sensors (which has been acquired by ams). Fujifilm, Nikon, and Panasonic are using Sony sensors, however.

Bivectors are an elegant choice for dealing with rotations be cause they are isomorphic to skew-symmetric matrices, which are the Lie algebra of the special orthogonal group SO(n). The Lie group SO(n) is also known as n-dimensional rotation

The colours are based on lidar intensity, i.e. how much light is bounced back from a surface. This depends on the reflectivity. That's why it can see lane markings and even murals on the wall: https://www.youtube.com/wa

At 865 nm, laser eye damage is due to the laser being focused by your eyeball into a small spot on your retina. This is in contrast to other wavelengths, like 1550 nm, which do not get focused, but can instead damage the surface or your eye

Lidars can interfere but somewhat less than other types of active sensors. First of all, the detector only needs to be on for a microsecond or two, and it's unlikely for two sensors to be scanning at the same microsecond. Second, laser
