   Also worth noting MathJax 3 is a thing, which is going to be even more modern and faster. https://www.mathjax.org/MathJax-v3-beta.3/

   Ah - yes, I agree. We did have a link to show you how to set up a development environment when it broke. I’ll add that back. What are your papers? Maybe it’s an easy fix. :)

   We tried using KaTeX for https://www.arxiv-vanity.com but unfortunately it doesn’t support a lot of commonly used stuff. I forget what most of that was now... over/underbrace is one I recall. In the end we used MathJax pre-

   I had a similar experience to your last one. I was in a small house fire in a shared Airbnb. I left immediately. Airbnb wouldn’t compensate me because I didn’t take photos and the host claimed nothing had happened. (I was honestly too shake

   I did this trip in my own car this year, from the UK and back. The article is a bit dishonest about what the highway is like. The majority of the Pamir Highway (the M41) is actually in quite good condition. There are just occasional unpaved

    The thing that drew me to Hyper.sh in the first place was the fact that it used the Docker Remote API. That gave me some confidence it would be provider agnostic. Unfortunately no other providers have done this, so that idea didn't pan

    Indeed. This is a headache for me. My service is entirely dependent on Hyper.sh and there seems to be no trivial migration path. I think I shall have to drop everything I was planning to do after the holidays and rearchitect for Kubernetes.

    If you’re interested in an actual TeX distribution for the web, I’m working on something like that: https://github.com/arxiv-vanity/engrafo It’s based on LaTeXML, which does the heavy lifting of converting LaTeX to HTM

    I really want to switch from Evernote to something else, but one of the main things I use Evernote for is scanning, OCRing, and organising real documents (mail, receipts, etc). What is a good alternative for this? I’m willing for it to be a

    Nothing at all, as long as you don’t mind the unreliability of a single server. (I am the author of Compose.) Honestly though, I would probably use Heroku for deploying little apps like this. The Compose CLI’s sweet spot is development envi

    I use Airtable for this stuff too. Unfortunately it doesn’t work offline (not even reads!) so I’m very close to reverting back to spreadsheets.

    I am from London and lived in the US for a bit. I struggled to navigate. I think it is because I navigate by modelling the shape of the streets. When all the streets are the same shape, that subconscious system stops working. I also tend to
