There probably isn't a handy pre-made list but there should be court filings that are relatively easy to search. Typically it would be something like Foo vs $xx,xxx since the seized money is on trial, not a person. I'm sure a company as big as Google or Apple could figure out some way to gather and parse that data if they wanted to.
Are you saying you moved it to the traditional left-Alt key?
That makes the key on the left of the spacebar as Ctrl and the key on the right of the spacebar as Alt. This is much better, in my opinion, than using the pinky on the Capslock.
\(…\) and \[…\] would not be without problems in Markdown either, as backslash is used for escaping, and there are situations where square brackets and parentheses require escaping.
As a simple example, if you want to write something in literal square brackets, you can normally just write […], but if there’s a link target with a matching name or you’re in an environment that may introduce a link target with a matching name (e.g. rustdoc will see [Foo] and try to find an item to link it to), you may choose to write \[…\] instead. You only need to escape one of the square brackets, but if you’ve escaped both.
I understand this is useful for people who doesn't type math regularly, but as someone who write a huge amount of math, `$...$` is so much less friction than the LaTeX one `\(...\)`.
Even in LaTeX, mix and match. `$...$` for normal mode, and `\[...\]` for display math, and it works well for two reasons. Inline math are generally short, less prone to mistakes, so `$` saves a lot of time.
They may be bought by someone bigger and then shutdown to protect the existing wild gardens. There are many analogies. Astrid[0][1] and Wunderlist[2] come to my mind.
Valve is a privately held company (owned by its employees) that makes ridiculous amounts of money, has no real incentive to sell, and Gabe Newell has publicly stated many times in the past that Valve selling out is extremely unlikely, and some kind of hostile takeover is virtually impossible.
Newell said that there was a better chance that Valve would “disintegrate,” its independent-minded workers scattering, than that it would ever be sold.
The difference here between Valve and most all of the infamous tech buyouts of history is Valve has no VCs looking to cash out who get final say, or public investors looking to maximize returns.
