How would I compile a roff document?
I recommend sticking with Groff. There are other implementations of Troff—some older (Heirloom Doctools), some newer (Neatroff)—but most of the documents you'll encounter in the wild will have been written with Groff in mind.

Ask HN: What are you surprised isn’t being worked on more?
Plan 9 troff might work! It works with utf8 out of the box[0], and while I haven't used it for complex math typesetting, there is a command (eqn [1]) that was developed for it. I'd recommend Ali Rudi's port (neatroff [2][3]) for a minimalist implementation. There's also Heirloom Documentation Tools [4] which is an implementation of *roff-and-friends that uses Knuth's paragraph-at-once algorithm (instead of the original line-wise one) for typesetting, plus some other interesting features.
The authors of eqn wrote a paper about it: "Typesetting Mathematics" by Brian Kernighan and Lorinda Cherry. Kernighan also wrote two manuals (one in 1976 with a revision in 1992, and one in 2007 with updates for the Plan 9 version). [5].
[0] utf8 was developed by Ken Thompson and Rob Pike during the creation of Plan9. The entire OS is compatible. Story here: http://doc.cat-v.org/bell_labs/utf-8_history

My Bad Habit of Hoarding Information
to help manage this i created a "speed dial" extension and use it basically as a visual bookmark manager. the advantage to tabs in a list is that they are easy to reference visually, and like any bookmark can be sorted and arranged into folders. so i have on for technical references, various research topics, etc that i plan to come back to. and its easy to pop one off the list to maintain them. check it out if youre curious, its open source:

Show HN: Yet Another Speed Dial – An open source new tab page
Show HN: Yet Another Speed Dial - An open source new tab page
I made an open source, cross-browser new tab page inspired by the Speed Dial in Opera.
It also works great as a bookmarks manager because it gives you visual thumbnails for bookmarks instead of just a list. When you bookmark a site, just choose the Speed Dial folder (or one of its subfolders) and you'll automatically get a screenshot, favicon, or open graph image as a thubmnail.
They can be sorted easily with drag and drop, and since they are just bookmarks under the hood you don't need to worry about the extension locking you in.
If you're like me and still use lots of bookmarks, give it a try. Happy to hear your feedback HN!

I closed a lot of browser tabs
that's the inspiration for my browser extension, Yet Another Speed Dial. it works as the new tab page but basically i use it as a visual bookmark manager. i find it way easier to scan my bookmarks as thumbnails to find what i want. it's open source and supports all the major browsers, check it out!

- Is there a Firefox addon that gives you a website preview when you hover over a tab, like you can on Safari?

i'm working on this as a browser extension. to get my feet wet i created Yet Another Speed Dial (https://github.com/conceptualspace/yet-another-speed-dial) which many people find useful, but the end goal is to apply the same kind of richness to all bookmarks and history
