I like Flow and I am actually using it right now, but I also see some negatives It still feels like very much in beta. Things break often along the edges, there are things like interfaces that work only sometimes, the modules are always wor

From what I know about this guy's project, he is more concerned about PR, going around taking money and talking at circlefriendly libertarian conferences than actually doing anything meaningful. Last I heard him talk at one conference,

Yep. It's exactly like that for me. And the packages interact with each other in surprising and unexpected ways, and you will almost always end up researching some strange 80s-era TeX commands that are still in there. And nothing is we

I have to ask the question... Why is China so goddamn rich and how did Hong Kong became so insignificant compared to mainland? What happened in the mainland exactly in the last 10, 15 years? Sorry if it's a naive comment
