Yeah, I tend to prefer KaTeX because it is lightweight, faster, and can render ahead of time. But I'm not a heavy user - I've been out of the Math business for a couple of decades.

At least half of the stuff I buy at the store is sold by weight, how is this going to work?

About a decade ago I looked into this. I had a Shun Santoku (VG10), but my brother wanted to get me a nice knife as a wedding gift. I did a little research on the knife forums (very interesting world, I could see spending a lot of money on

If you have poppler (and maybe xpdf) installed, the "pdffonts" command will list the fonts referenced in a pdf file (and whether they're embedded or not).

For simple cases, I've also found "pdftotext -layout" useful. For a quick on-off job, this would save someone the trouble of assembling the lines themselves. I have used this in the past to extract tables, but it doesn't

Catalina has been working fine for me since the release. On my newer laptop, with Mojave I had a few Touch Bar related panics. I think they resolved that before Catalina came out. My work laptop is Mojave. It still has the issue where it wi

Back in college (90's) we had a professor who, about once a year, would send an email to help desk saying his monitor had gotten blurry and he needed a new one. We'd go to his office, wipe off the thick layer of dust and it'd

There is also an 8-bit float used in Lucene. I was surprised that someone was using an 8-bit float format when I first came across that.

I believe they are subtly different. If you copy while transactions are ongoing, you're reading different parts of a file at different points in time. For example, the beginning of the sqlite3 has already been copied, but by the time y

To be honest, I paid more attention to the Russian version than I would English. I kinda know how to pronounce it, and it's fun to see if I can figure out any of the words.

It gave me the page in english, but the license agreement in Russian.

Also Bucklescript and ReasonML respectively provide OCaml and javascript-like syntax over the same AST and can translate your code between the two (as seen in the try reasonML UI).

It is last write wins at the block level. The unit of granularity is a property on a block, for example the entire text in a paragraph of text or the type of a block. For moving or adding blocks in lists, the operation is "place after

I wrote something similar years ago in Go, and settled on writing the data to a WARC file on disk (you can gzip the individual requests and concatenate to get random access), and also concatenating to a warc index file. The working index w

In a similar vein, "lumen" is a small lisp/scheme dialect that experiments in a similar direction. It replaces lisp's lists with lua/javascript's "arrays and dictionaries at the same time" objects. (S

For python, visual studio code has some of this integration. It still runs a jupyter kernel, but will run "cells" directly from your source code file (where the cells are delimited by "# %%" comments) and output to a sep

Also, the last time I checked tesseract liked stuff to be 200-300 dpi. (You don’t have to scan it at that resolution, but helps if you scale it up.) Years ago, I dug up a couple of papers on the spine thing, but never got around to implemen

Are you familiar with "metafont/metapost"? Metafont was the original system for drawing fonts for TeX and used constraints to describe the character shapes. Metapost extended this to diagrams in general. They might be an in

Interesting, I searched for "1.2-1.0" on google. The calculator comes up and it briefly flashes 0.19999999999999996 (and no calculator buttons) before changing to 0.2. This happens inconsistently on reload.

I think the subtlety with CRDTs is that how you choose to represent your data model via CRDT data structures encodes the semantics of how conflicts are resolved. As a simple example there are multiple versions of Set (remove once, add only

It probably depends on where you live in SF. I was on the border between Noe and Mission. I lived there for a decade and found it very walkable. I owned a car but drove maybe once a month. I had good produce at corner stores (both Asian an

I've scripted this for work, but it does have to run on a mac (for me a late 2013 Macbook pro), which would make it difficult to do in the cloud. There is a utility (written in Java) that you run through "xcrun" that can uplo

The "bags" that they're alluding to are "Tea Forté" - but they're carefully avoiding naming names. It's pretty easy to tell that the material is plastic. It's loose tea in a finely perforated plastic

In the past, when I've implemented TOTP on the server, I've allowed for a couple of time periods of drift. But I recorded the time period that last matched, and only allowed subsequent authentication attempts to be strictly greate
