Test mail1.html

Tested 2 fallback ways inside semantics tag:

1. <annotation-xml encoding="MathML-Presentation"><mtext><img ... (the math was display="block")
2. <annotation-xml encoding="text/html"><img ... (the math was inline)

Didn't try altimg fallbacks, nor <annotation encoding="image/png" src=...> as I figure it's unlikely any clients that don't understand MathML would honor them. img can be honored simply by skipping all the unfamiliar tags.

I tried to use xmlns in a way that (hopefully) would work both in HTML5 and older parsers...

From what I read known SVG->PNG fallbacks don't work well in email:
http://stylecampaign.com/blog/2014/01/basics-of-svg-in-email/
http://emailcodegeek.com/svg-images/
http://mikevoermans.com/css/svg-png-fallback-html-email

But then I stumbled upon this 2009 technique: http://www.kaizou.org/2009/03/inline-svg-fallback/ and it works surprisingly well!

Caveat: apparently it only works when the svg contains no text; any text content might be visible (in addition to the fallback) in clients that don't understand svg.

Comment on http://www.docker.ci/why-is-docker-ci-different/

Hmm, interesting distinction. But I don't see why your way is better than having the CI build the image.

• It is more flexible in allowing me to build the image any ad-hoc way I want, e.g. modify files inside the container and take a snapshot.
  But my primary Dev instinct is that I don't want this. The last thing I want in prod is an image I don't have sources for. I'm not thinking in terms "test this image before deploying" but in terms of "test this source code". Which means build an image from Dockerfile in a clean env, test this "clean" image (and yes, push this same image to prod).

[attaching this to a CloudFlare survey why I left them (for DNSimple)]

I was a free user using CloudFlare only for DNS, chiefly because it can simulate CNAME at an apex domain. The apex domains mathdown.net,mathdown.com point to mathdown-cben.rhcloud.com. Cloudflare "CNAME-flattening" nicely returns an A record; unfortunately it's served with a huge TTL of 7 days(!), which causes a long outage when the underlying IP changes.

I asked support how I can lower the TTL (BTW it's great that you provide free support at all) and was told [https://support.cloudflare.com/hc/en-us/requests/522551, emphasis mine]:

This is based on the TTL of your authoritative provider for mathdown-cben.rhcloud.com:

Using Jasmine 2, I want to:

1. compute a value in a beforeAll/beforeEach block
2. access it in the it / nested describe block

so far easy: set a var and use it [OUT below]. It will have right values by the time it runs.

3. extract test cases / nested suite into a function.

That's harder, especially with nested suites - nested describe body is executed immediately,
