I wasn’t trying to imply that Typst is a replacement for LaTeX. I’m more trying to say that I’m hoping Typst (and any other typesetting alternatives that might be out there) mature enough over the next year or two to become full replacements. It just doesn’t seem to be gaining much attention because of how dominant LaTeX is.

The main part that’s not open source is their web client, which I’m fine with. There’s a number of people on GitHub that aren’t happy about it though.

I’ve been using Typst. Its (mostly) open source and much simpler than LaTeX. It’s still very new though, so it doesn’t have all of LaTeX’s features, but it’s making very steady progress.

I mean more that LaTeX’s syntax and compilation methods are outdated. I’ve tried to grok LaTeX many times, but the most I’ve ever been able to do is make small modifications to existing templates. I’ve never been able to make a brand new project work. I’m really hoping that modern alternatives like Typst become more common. There just don’t seem to be many out there because of how dominant LaTeX is.

I thought I knew everything about Excel, but just last week I learned that it now has TypeScript integration for macros. I nearly wept tears of joy. Finally I can leave behind VBA.

Please forget LaTeX. Please let us adopt a more modern alternative that isn’t absolutely painful to use.

Isn’t this exactly what Pressure Advance does?

Saint Oniisan is about as Christian as you can get.

The GitHub for Memmy shows the last commit was a month ago. That’s not “abandoned” for an open source personal project, but it definitely seems to be on the developer’s back burner right now.

I like supporting smaller projects, but Memmy’s just gotten outpaced by other recent clients. I’ve switched to Voyager and really like it. I’ll come back to Memmy once it’s getting active development again.

Bluey.

It wasn’t that hard if you kept feeding it quarters. It took a lot of trial and error, but having infinite lives means it was eventually beatable.

Tuition is $40,000 a year. Price said about 75% of their students are on some form of financial aid.

How large is the Unification Church? I thought they were a pretty big organization.

Also, this paragraph is hilarious:

The Unification Church, meanwhile, has claimed that engaging in activities that violate Japan’s civil law should not be considered grounds for ordering its dissolution and that the government’s questioning of the group is illegal.

A couple dozen devices maybe. I don’t really need dedicated ranges, but it’s nice to know exactly which device I’m looking at just by the IP when reading logs.

I know they exist and vaguely what they do, but I don’t know how to set them up. What’s their advantage over simple DHCP reservations for a small client list?

I like the range for new devices- hadn’t thought of that!

It’s been a long time since I read it, but I remember liking City of Endless Night.
