One reason is that many journals supply LaTeX templates. And I find them easier to apply compared to their Word templates. I wonder how much support Typst has from these publishers, considering its relatively young age.

Wow! Consistency is the reason I took up LaTeX, after suffering a disaster with Word. LaTeX feels dated and isn't flawless, but inconsistency is one complaint that I've never heard about it before.

I don't know anything about quarto, but you're missing a lot of useful software if you're limiting yourself to the distro repo - especially Debian stable.

PDF is used for pre-formatted content with reproducible layout. HTML is used for dynamically formatted, dynamically laid out and often reflowable content. It's debatable whether PDF needs a more modern alternative, but HTML is certainl

Almost all of typst, except their web app, is available on crates.io and from many Linux distribution repositories. And you can skip the web app if you don't prefer it. There's no loss of functionality.

How so? Only their web app seems to be closed source. And the company was created by the two project founders. They also don't seem to be doing a lot more than a community project.

Wow! I thought the judge was overreacting. But that's one extremely annoying watermark. I would demand the same, no matter what I do for a living.

You can have a bot allow list. I think it's also being planned as a subscription service (not sure about this part).

I will take Anubis any day over its alternative - the cloudflare verification page. I just close the tab as soon as I see it.

by goku12 2y ago
Anubis has a 'slow' and a 'fast' mode [1], with fast mode selected by default. It used to be so fast that I rarely used to get time to read anything on the page. I don't know why it's slower now - it could be t

The CF verification page still appears far too often in some geographic regions. It's such an irritant that I just close the tab and leave when I see it. It's so bad that seeing the Anubis page instead is actually a big relief! I

One near collision every month (minimum) for 13 years? How is that a disaster waiting to happen, as much as it is a case of wilful criminal negligence? How many near collisions are needed for the authorities recognize that it's an unac

They've crossed the line far enough that a comparison with the Gestapo is no longer necessary. Their infamy in the world history is assured.

I replied using my phone and couldn't see your original comment for reference. Yes, your list contains more compiled languages. Of those, I'm not very comfortable with using C and C++ for backend development. Their lack of automat

There are 3 cases. The first is that you are comfortable with Rust and you just choose it for that. The second is that you're not comfortable with Rust and you choose something else that works for you. The third is the interesting one.

by goku12 2y ago
I'm not going to deny your experience. But is Rust really that hard? It's a very smooth experience for me - sometimes enough for me to choose it instead of Python. I know that the compiler complains a lot. But I code with the help

by goku12 2y ago
What do you mean by 'a mix of Haskell and Rust'? Is that a per-project choice or do you use both in a single project? I'm interested in the latter. If so, could you point me to an example? Another question is about Clash. You

The amount of condescension in this thread is astounding. People who have zero experience with autism have decided to split the autistic community into 'high-functioning' and 'low-functioning' groups and declare that the

Nice project! Python Loguru is a delight to use. Good luck! So, do you lose any feature, functionality or performance when using loguru as a log crate backend?

I don't know a single country in the world that wouldn't do this if another country did to them what the US did to Canada. Even a lot of US citizens seem to agree. May be consider your own standing first?

I assume that you don't have direct experience with autism? Success is a very misleading criterion. Even the very successful autistic people often suffer from significant distress. Level 1 autism (the most independent one), is also lis

Low functioning peers can't participate and high functioning peers shouldn't participate. So all discussions about autism should include only non-autistic people? Weird logic doesn't compute! But what if low functioning and h

Autism, high functioning or not, rarely comes on its own. It often has comorbidities like PTSD, depression, anxiety disorder and ADHD. Many of these extra disorders, like the former 3 in my list happens due to how autistic people interact w
