Thank you for making the effort to experiment with the diff style. Now that people are seeing this documentation and appreciating the output, maybe someone else will come up with a way to automate it for future authors.

Same here. I was wondering how they are going to achieve it, and if we are supposed to send them our pictures with standard grayscale charts held against our face or something.

As much as I like all the alternative languages you mentioned, and as much as I hate it, I think JavaScript (or wasm) would/should be the language of choice were TeX to be extended today.

Thanks! I checked it out, and Eknath Easwaran's translation looks good to me. All I have to do is skip the first couple of pages of each chapter. I have not read any translation yet. Archive.org has Prabhupada's translation, which

Be careful with this. I am an atheist, and by no means am I adamantly defending Hinduism. But the translated Hindu scriptures are mostly over a hundred years old. Most such translations carry heavy biases. Quite a lot of of the time, the tr

Exactly that. There used to be government ads between TV shows about various circumstances for casually inquiring about the protagonist's family. The response would be the catchphrase "hum do, humare do" (we two, ours two). T

Seconded. "Horn Please" / "Sound Horn" / "Blow Horn" is the actual message. OK is often painted on a separate line. Sometimes above, sometimes below the "Horn Please" message. I don't t

Level farmers and cheaters are not bots. While level farmers may be likely to ignore surveys, because it would waste their time, cheaters don't have that factor.

What is the point of these surveys when we know how many "level farming" operations[1] are going on in China, etc.? Casual CSGO has become unusable these days. Of course, apart from farming operations, cheaters come from across th

There's a bug somewhere, but I'm not sure where. Opening the image in a new tab renders it legibly. On the main page, it is a garbled mess. This looks fine in a tab by itself. https://raw.githubusercontent.com/moss

Merely having nuclear weapons does not produce daily barrels of nuclear waste. The comparison is ridiculously silly. And I would like India to get its regulatory framework fixed before it allows more nuclear plants.

In general, I would agree with you. However, I would prefer the developed countries to put this into action first. That's because I don't trust the Indian government. The government here has an odd combination of instilling too ma

Current Indian mythology has a lot of differences from ancient Indian mythology. The nature of asura is among them. Many of the then major gods were described in Rig Veda as asuras. Wikipedia gives a good overview: https://en.wik
