Is this based on his thesis?

  I haven't read it. On IRC he said he was gonna post this and then go to lunch, but given that he submitted it here, I'm sure he'll be back to elaborate at some point :)

  No, this isn't an implementation of Aaron's thesis (reagents [1]). It's an implementation of Keir Fraser's thesis :) [2] [1]: http://www.mpi-sws.org/~turon/turon-thesis.pdf http://www.mpi-sws.org/~turon/turon-thesis.pdf [2]: https://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/techreports/UCAM-CL-TR-579.pdf https://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/techreports/UCAM-CL-TR-579.pdf

    Wow, I am very impressed with the typesetting on [1]. Jealous, even...

      Someone procrastinated a lot. :)

        Not toooo much, but I will say that feeling inspired by the typesetting helped keep my motivation up for all 299 pages...

          Page 9 has a TL;DR footnote. Degree granted.

          I totally get that. Even though I spent 50% of my time on a take-home math final writing it in XeTeX from scratch (or "article"), it was still worth it, even if only for the motivation. I love the choice of Minion in your paper, but I needed something more math-friendly so I went with my other favorite: Arno Pro. Oh, and thank you for including a colophon, I really wish more books did that :)

          I was mostly joking ... but procrastination is sometimes valuable in and unto itself. The typesetting is quite remarkable. If you're going to procrastinate, this is sure a good way to do it.

      Assuming you refer to Aaron's thesis? (Haven't seen the other, no offense..). I felt the same exact way. Want that template :)

      Yes, it is. Tufte mode FTW. http://www.latextemplates.com/template/tufte-style-book http://www.latextemplates.com/template/tufte-style-book
