I've submitted to a scientific journal using "typst to tex" [0].

It's definitely not perfect but it was good enough. And there is pandoc too.

I read this when it was first published and found it very interesting. Since then, Amazon[0] and Microsoft[1] have been putting out announcements – I wonder if things are changing.

What's wrong with a README? It's as close to a website as one can get within a self-contained repository, and is most likely to be kept up to date with any given version of the project. If there is one document available anywhere that describes a project, I would hope it is the README.

Well, there is now pandoc in the browser: https://pandoc.org/app/

It's unfortunate that "smart" quotes are listed. Most CMS worth their salt (and even static site generators and word processors) should be able to generate typographically appropriate and localized quotes for anything that isn't a quick comment.

It is fascinating and so revealing about the American psyche that the majority of those questioned in this article speak of pulling in and backing out as a way to leave quickly in the case of violence, rather than for the obvious safety benefit of not having to back out blindly into pedestrian and vehicular traffic.

I've been using a Matrix bridge to access messenger without having to subject myself to Facebook. Hopefully that will keep working.

Interesting - I'm not so familiar with S3 but I wonder if this would work for WSI stored on-premises. Imposing lower network requirememts and a lightweight web viewer is very advantageous in this use case. I'll have to try it out!

I don't think this is necessarily entitlement. There are heteredox but popular economic theories (such as MMT) that view public debt issuance at least in part as a method to satisfy the demand for private savings.

Anki seems to be a habitual offender, I was never able to install it reproducibly and in an obvious way on several distros and always ended up building it from source.

The irony of course being that the "off-the-shelf" something in fact needs to be adapted to an ever-shifting set of requirements, and then does not "work".

Not Matthew Butterick (nor all major English-language style guides): https://practicaltypography.com/one-space-between-sentences....

I only discovered two spaces after a full stop/period was a thing after moving to the U.S., and only apparently in people over 40.

Is this a LLM-generated rehash of this preprint: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2510.23807 ?

The figures are identical but uncredited/plagiarized...

This appears to be plagiarized (?) from this preprint: https://arxiv.org/abs/2510.23807

Probably experts in rubber-hose cryptanalysis.

The ultimate question raised by this (very nice) study is really by how much would improving walkability improve exercise target attainment (of course, leaving aside all the other important reasons to improve walkability, both health-related and not).

Based on the extended data figure[0] and raw figure data[1], the authors' simulation suggests that an increase of 60 to 80, or 80 to 100 walkability would each lead to about 6% more of the population reaching the target 150 minutes of activity.

You should check out https://rogue-scholar.org/ - full-text archiving and DOIs for science blogs. I use it and it works great.

It's a nice article from Wired in the linked thread.

And from your website:

> What made me turn to the "yup, we're fucked" camp was "Comment tout peut s'effondrer" by Pablo Servigne, Éditions du Seuil, 2015.

That'll make for some light reading next time I head up north. Thanks for the recommendation.
