Glad to hear Typst has people doing serious work with it. I’ve been able to avoid LaTeX. At uni, I went for org-mode -> LaTeX, which was OK except when my .emacs file was filling up with LaTeX stuff to make random stuff work. To be hones

I do find it funny that the library Twitter is using (according to TFA anyway) self-describes itself as: > Caution > Experimental library! and > While this library is just a wrapper around the well known Libsodium library it still

Ended up abandoning Fraidycat after it atrophied (a number of the integrations that weren't plain RSS, like YouTube/Twitch, didn't work well, it ended up choking my browser, and then stopped working entirely)... did not know

Good! I’ve been using a third-party labeller (which is a great hack), but making it more user friendly and official is a great thing. I’m a proponent of verification only for “important people”. Yes, the definition of important is funny, an

How infuriating for anyone recently hired caught in this trap. It seems to me the obvious, from both a business & human perspective, is to stop hiring at first signs of trouble, before layoffs. To do so otherwise is cruel. I doubt Matt

Yeah, I'm not going to rule out that they migrated /to/ mitigate a cyberattack, but again, holding out for third parties here.

Nice joke, but on a serious note I can totally see Elon being told this, or hallucinating this, but I'm not particularly convinced that this actually happened. Waiting for third party cybersec firms. Also I just saw a screenshot that i

There's a middle ground, I find. Absolutely, when tasked with something quite complex in a complex code base, it doesn't really work. It can get you some of the way there, and some of the code it produces gives you great ideas on

So, while you're almost certainly right about the impossibility of enforcement, I imagine many big organisations would purchase licenses anyway because they fear any minor risk of not doing so. Indeed, your Enterprise [0] page lists a
