Is ⩶ an operator in JavaScript?
I think ⩵ and ⩶ should be implemented to support 3-byte encodings of digraphs and trigraphs. That way, we can save anywhere from -1 to 0 bytes!

Bottom line, people want to post pictures and tables and lists and other shit online. And so far, markdown seems to be one of the better solutions for letting them do it quickly and with minimal training. I'd like to see some competition, but so far, markdown the best we got.
I think Markdown is fine, honestly. For the subset of things it was intended to do, that is. But I cannot, for the life of me, figure out why didn't Discourse use the same variant reddit does. This would mean that it's consistent with another popular platform while giving you a larger feature set.
The answer is gonna be some stupid ideology bullcrap, won't it?
And fucking hell, it's 04:20. Fucking DST. I'm outta here.

The biggest question is why Jeff decided to make his own Markdown spec but not to use it in any of the software he created.

Exactly. Given the inherent limitations of the medium, LATEX is about as close as you can get without resorting to an image.

Atwood has done some things that are as useful as Zed Shaw's.
Really? He died and got used as roadfill?
