Re:Real-time LaTeX using (Neo)Vim, VimTeX, and snippets on Saturday February 25, 2023 @06:22PM (#34941482)
Goal of this guide: make writing LaTeX as easy (fast, efficient, enjoyable…) as writing math by hand. Tech stack: the Vim text editor using the UltiSnips snippet plugin and the VimTeX plugin’s LaTeX editing features. The series should help if you…

    are interested in taking real-time lecture notes using LaTeX, à la Gilles Castel,
    want a LaTeX experience decidedly more pleasant and efficient than whatever you were probably first taught, whether your motivation is real-time university lecture speed or not,
    hope to switch to Vim from a different LaTeX editor, but are unsure how to proceed, or
    just want to browse someone else’s workflow and configuration out of curiosity.

To answer the obligatory question "but does it run linux?": well, kinda ... it can run ELF binaries, but it only supports the syscalls defined in "posix-lite".
Is this evidence of the effectiveness of following CDC guidelines, or evidence that opiates are still a bigger problem?
This is concerning, but with a sample size of 50, I don't think there's enough evidence to claim that "The study shows that PFAS contamination of breast milk is likely universal in the US".
It's still unclear whether or not masks helped reduce the spread of COVID-19.

Re:The missing continent it took 375 years to find on Monday March 01, 2021 @07:06AM (#26301942)
TLDR: New Zealand sits on top of its own continent that goes nearly as far south as Antarctica.
This is such an amazing write-up. Thank you for all your work and for taking the time to document this.

I'd be fascinated to read about your old team's work!
No -- you'd need DNSCrypt for that.

Yeah -- what I'm most curious about is how it determines its initial state. Does it need to be powered up and "zeroed" like a scale before it's scrambled? How does the algorithm know which actuator needs to be moved and which direction it needs to be moved in?
Re:An attempt to upgrade to Webpack 4 on Sunday March 18, 2018 @10:42PM (#16615887)
Just like git tags, release notes, makefiles, etc ... Documentation is one of those things that needs to be updated as part of a new release.

Awesome GSoC project. Well done.
Re:Who Killed the Junior Developer? on Wednesday February 14, 2018 @01:45AM (#16373985)
/agree

I love hiring and mentoring junior developers, but the barrier to entry is quite high. Employers love junior developers with aptitude and enthusiasm.
