The difference between a car right now and a car 30 years ago is that you can do online many of the things you needed a car before. The speed difference is between minutes or hours to milliseconds - much more than the difference between cars and horses.

The whole aspect of looking at cars is funny. It’s like judging progress 60 years from now by checking by how much their resolution improved.

I’m very happy they went with simple $..$ and $$…..$$

This is much more natural for anyone doing math or science and also makes it easy to copy and paste math from elsewhere

It’s better that the parser works harder than to force an inconvenient syntax on the user.

In what sense is BPL “over-riding” these communities? I thought they decided not to carry these books in their school libraries, not that students are not allowed to read them even outside of school.
