Depends entirely on threat model. More code is more surface area for vulnerabilities to be found.


Why would you ask for permission?


some work contracts forbid it and then you are liable for fines


Reminds me of the joke "a man was selling books on the corner entitled 'how to become a millionaire'. Naturally, I bought one—turns out the trick is to sell a million books for a dollar."


It's a good joke, but I think it's intellectually cheap and easy to use as a snarky response, but completely misses the factual arguments.

Not everyone who teaches can sell. Not everyone who sells can build.

I can read a detailed step by step guide by a guru who spells out exactly how he made his billions, but that doesn't mean I can execute it.

My shared account is just me sharing my learnings. I have already shared most of it in public. The ebook is me practicing what I preach -- that everything can be monetized if you just apply some effort.

Check out my tweets to see exactly what I am talking about.


Are you a guru? Because you sound exactly like a guru. Check out my tweets to see if you might be a guru.


...why not both? Obviously we would still need a green new deal even with massive nuclear investment.


Is that zip code itself famous?

Edit: this is referring to a popular 90s american television teen drama.


90210 is the most famous zip code in America because there was a really popular show in the 90s that referenced that zip code called "Beverly Hills, 90210" (commonly known as just "90210"). It had various spinoffs going into the 2010s.

Because that zip code was so famous an unrelated reality show was named "Dr. 90210" about plastic surgeons in the Beverly Hills area.


It doesn't refer to anything that I am aware, it simply has the connotation of "looping" back, much like "doing a double take".


That's a problem for mathml. The more required tooling, the less likely it is to be used. TeX hits this weird sweet spot between writing code and writing a document that's very productive.


Then use a library that converts TeX into MathML. I can recommend TeXZilla[1] (the author is also a major contributor to the MathML stadard).

      The triangle inequality states that
      <la-tex>z \leq x + y</la-tex>.

Disclosure: I am my self an author of an alternative library MathUp[2].

That still requires more tooling.


It is a little unfair since LaTeX has tons of extra libraries involved. It’s probably been more than 5 years since I touched LaTeX, but I usually (if I remember correctly) used amsmath, babel, biblatex, inputenc, fontenc, hyperref before I even started.

I don’t think it is unreasonable to ask authors that insist on writing in familiar syntax, that they use a tool that enables that. With native MathML authors are free to use whichever tool chain they prefer. Some authors will prefer graphical editing of equations, so they have their authoring tools set up that way. Others will just want to write their familiar latex syntax so they’ll put a:

    <script src="./path/to/texzilla.js"></script>
in their document and write as before.


There are plenty of alternatives. People don't use them.


No, they seem explicitly designed to avoid interactive use an end user.


Ah, that's what I felt. Thank you.
