Back when I was on IRC, I wrote a bash script to upload (via scp) a file to an uploads location on my server, which it knew the public URL for. It then (using xclip) put the resulting URL into the clipboard so I could paste it into IRC. Worked well

This actually looks good. Though at this point I get annoyed at anything that doesn’t make an effort to be compatible with Markdown - idk if there’s any good reason they chose # as the symbol for introducing code lines, but surely it makes sense with the ubiquity of markdown to make that start a header. Similarly with * for emphasis and whatnot.
But it genuinely looks like a good effort to dispense with the backslashes and braces of LaTeX yet retain a coherent and comprehensive mathematical output.
What is surprising is that it doesn’t appear to ultimately just call through to TeX. That probably means it has a chance of having good error handling and decent performance… I will have to give it a try.
Do you not think rants belong here? What about linking to a rant on a blog?
It’s very popular to wail about how the UK is a police state. I guess it’s because the UK is culturally close to the USA, but different in some ways, so people become most aware of those differences, no matter how big they truly are. And Americans are very bad at comparing their own country to others, so an article about how many cameras there are in the UK or in London does not necessarily get such a comparison; it only decries the situation abroad.
