As an economist, I write papers for a living. I use quarto markdown, which takes latex and typst and leverages pandoc behind the scenes to render PDFs or other formats. It’s as easy as it gets.

I think the Swiss ought to be very scared as well. Lived there for many years and for some reason every website I visited was following EU rules when servicing Switzerland visitors. Maybe they can’t technically separate what’s what, or choo

I personally think R and Julia are much better at this.

Completely disagree. I work at a central bank, helping people make some of the most important economic decisions in my country and plenty of analyses are done purely with R.

Curiously, to me at least the image of the corrupted file was itself corrupted and not shown by my browser. Or maybe Apple didn't want me to see the corrupted file... :)

Well, people that are better evaluated at a job should have a higher chance of staying in that job, no? (Only half joking)

Recently I went into the whole rabbit hole of sunscreens as I moved to Brazil from Switzerland, and now need to use it everyday (ok I know, theoretically also back home would be nice!). So I bought a mineral sunscreen. It feels "health

Congratulations to the Apertus team! Love the name, which in addition to "open" in Latin reminds me of Pilatus.

Interesting piece, but I think the author overlooked one important point. In other cities with better climate, pedestrians actually enjoy being in the outdoors, roaming streets. The only cities mentioned as having a pedestrian underground n

By the way, 3Blue1Brown’s videos on linear algebra are nothing my short of amazing. And I use linear algebra every day (I’m an economist).

God I miss playing CS all night long in a LAN house with my friends, and then exiting at 06:00 and going all of us to a type of Brazilian bakery (padaria) to eat freshly-baked bread with butter and a cup of coffee…

In 1995 or 1997, can't remember which, I flew from Belo Horizonte to Miami (if the former) or NYC (latter). When we were flying over what I think is the Caribbean, I recall seeing "upward lightnings". They were absolutely maj

This made me ask, is there a (perhaps Swift) API to get the raw pixels coming in from the camera, if there is such a thing? I mean, before any processing, etc.

I get the point… but I would counterargue, perhaps facetiously, that if one needs a professionally color calibrated screen to notice the difference, then it is really not something that would matter for mere mortals.

I don’t agree, the vibe I got from that was about focusing design on things kids like to do and see. I think that was also clear from the no ads discussion.
