There's Fermat's Library [1] which allows for collaborative annotation on pdfs. The only issue I have with them is that they lack highlighting and aren't open source. With PDF annotation, why not separate the content from the

You don't have to go through the complete search space if it turns out optimal strategies are sparse. What do I mean by that? Take a second-price auction: the dominant strategy here is to always bid your true value. Meanwhile, the sear

I believe with respect to game theory, solving a game like Go would require finding a strategy that obeys the one shot deviation principle. The result would rather be boring to watch however, because the conclusion of every game played unde

That’s the point of PDFs and EPUBs. If you want resizable PDFs, use EPUB which is an organized and compressed version of HTML. Edit. I think the reason you lose quality during conversion is because without the original LaTeX code, you’re ju

Given that it’s parsing from a textarea, can TeXMe be used as an editor? I think some contenteditable editors have the rendering from markdown as well.

How do you feel about ProseMirror, and what browser WYSIWYG editor did you work on if you don't mind? I'm using it right now to build a personal notes editor, but there isn't much open source components to model my custom nod

I've been looking at the ProseMirror as a way of building this meta-editor that could have plug-and-play components. The issue is, although the library is open-source, there hasn't been many open-sourced components that people hav

If you search 'Markdown' on HackerNews, it'd seem like the 'market' for markdown editors is fragmented: there isn't a single dominant editor yet. I think every week there's a new editor posted (Joplin is a

It'd be nice if a majority of websites were exposed like this: if you wanted to save an article or blog-post for example, you could just fork it into a repository. What's saved is just the original text, or anything that has a fla

Very few things in economics are resolved theoretically; they're more often improved empirically. Take for example stagflation. Previously, economists assumed a simple linear relationship between inflation and unemployment (Philips cur

There's a backstory to this paper from the r/math subreddit [1]. One of the authors initially posted the question there, and stumbling upon a similar question on math overflow emailed Terry Tao. And surprisingly, he responded. [1]

How is the text/data stored per cell? I tried building something similar to this based off cells in Jupyter notebooks, but one issue I encountered was with having a one-way binding from editor to render. One problem with this is with t

It's not an editor, but ProseMirror is something that I'd recommend checking out if you wanted to build a web-based WYSIWYG markdown editor with possibly extended features. There's also Notion.so. Both of these aren't ex

Proof of stake solves a problem with energy and attack incentives, but it still doesn’t solve an inequality of resources within the system. A large number of validator nodes doesn’t run counter to that statement because just because anyone

If Ethereum moves to proof of stake, than centralization / inequality of resources will equal inequality of wealth, which at that impasse asks the question what’s the point of having decentralized development?

It seems that short-term rentals came from long-term leases, right? In that sense, housing supply is still constant while demand has increased.

Reading this comment has made me think about the effect of technology on increased competition, whether that be globalization, online dating, or physical retail. With the rental market, that increased competition for a fixed housing supply

For example, to checkpoint a model, I would save it as “ckpt-{epoch_number}-{val_loss}”. Given this file name and the original format string, I would like to recover the epoch number and validation loss variables back. From: ckpt-8-0.300 T

Why didn’t Python ship with the opposite functionality as well? Parsing instead of formatting. Given a string and a format string, return a list of variables (or a dictionary).

+1 I would recommend using KaTeX for this. Another thing would be to embed CodeMirror within ProseMirror ( https://prosemirror.net/examples/codemirror/ ) instead of just using monospace font. The additional benefit
