Also my points. I would like one of these apps to actually show some love for technical (math) people.

So far, I find Obsidian to be the best for us.

Obsidian has LaTeX support out of the box. And there are some awesome plugins to make it even better, check out https://github.com/artisticat1/obsidian-latex-suite.

Why would I use this, instead of Obsidian (say)?

And speed. Startup time is instantaneous, in comparison to VS code say.

Yes but you can use Vision Pro as a gigantic external display of the Mac

This is also something I don’t understand. Would like to know the answer
Isn't it a good idea to just set your passcode to be the same as your Apple ID password?

I have Mathematica installed. Can I have WolframEngine side by side?
TeXmacs unfortunately is a bit buggy. You get random errors from time to time, though I've never had a corrupted file. Otherwise I love it!

Or better, no screen size choices.
The only reason I keep using Mendeley sometimes is because it is nice for reading on the phone, and it syncs annotations back and forth without issues. If I can set something as smooth with Zotero, that would be it.

The really sad thing is that all this data is not available for academic research. Instead of understanding human nature to make a better world, it is being used to make better targeted ads.

Re:It Looks Like Nobel Economics Laureates Don't Like Bitcoin on Thursday November 30, 2017 @11:50AM (#15817205)
What's regulated here is not bitcoin, is the standard currency you want to trade for bitcoin. If you just trade in bitcoins, there is no validation needed ;)
Re:It Looks Like Nobel Economics Laureates Don't Like Bitcoin on Thursday November 30, 2017 @11:49AM (#15817191)
I was thinking about this, since the blockchain is public, there is a lot of data out there steadily accumulating. Are there any published studies exploiting this data already?
If I were a time traveler, I would buy bitcoin.
Re:Why I left Mac for Windows: Apple has given up on Thursday November 09, 2017 @07:48PM (#15667082)
Linux! I began as a Windows only user, then switched to Linux and never looked back. Now I have been using a Mac for the last couple of months. At first it felt pretty slick (the touchpad is awesome), but after a while, I just want my precious Linux back.

Google Music's "I'm feeling lucky" is awesome. This is very subjective, but I feel it makes much better predictions as to what I'll like than Spotify. Maybe someone else has a different experience?
