If someone with a disability or a chronic illness or a mental illness tells you something is too difficult for them to do, believe them. Maybe it's something they could do on another occasion. Maybe it's something you find, or even "everyone" finds, easy. Maybe it's something you found trivial to research or learn how to do. Believe them anyway. Maybe it's only three steps, maybe it's a piece of software, or a phone call. Believe them anyway.

Believe people when they tell you their experiences.

@christianp aperiodical is on a very old version of MathJax. Is that intentional?

I need to rave about .

One of my colleagues has deep knowledge about calculations but doesn't write code, in any language. She was giving me instructions on how to perform a calculation, which I kept getting wrong. Frustrated, I just show her my Python code. She instantly recognises the error and tells me how to fix the code. This is the first time I show her Python.

Can *your* programming language do this?

In short, amp now has <amp-mathml> but it neither accepts MathML as input nor renders MathML as output.

But you really need to dive into the issue discussion and code to really appreciate the horrors of this.

And of course then we're still talking about amp.

Hilarious.
