Responsibility for handling mental illness should be a joint effort. It's not reasonable to expect parents alone to handle all problems. Some issues may not be apparent at home, for example.

atkirtland··on KaTeX – The fastest math typesetting library for the web
KaTeX has always seemed pretty inferior to me compared with MathJax. The most significant flaw is that it is very unstable, frequently failing at rendering rendering large documents with many equations. This happens across several applications, though I suppose it could be machine-specific. It also doesn't support several basic packages that MathJax supports. Without measuring the speed difference, I've never noticed a gap anyways.
atkirtland··on A community-led fork of Organic Maps
The thing that keeps on Organic Maps instead of OSMAnd is how slow it is.

In case anyone else is curious about this, I found the reference to be Kammler's "A First Course in Fourier Analysis".
atkirtland··on Sioyek is a PDF viewer with a focus on textbooks and research papers
I really liked Sioyek as a more fully-featured Zathura, but two features kept me from using it as my primary PDF reader: 1. Can't open multiple PDFs at the same time: Trying to open a second PDF with it while it's already open with some PDF crashes both instances. 2. Annotations are stored in a separate document rather than the PDF itself.

Other users have noted both of these before. I didn't find an easy fix to 1, and a partial solution to 2 uses an extension, but IIRC it still requires manually running a command to transfer annotations to the PDF document itself.
