Weiß zufällig jemand, wo die Vorträge der #Dante Frühjahrtagung gestreamt werden? #TeX #LaTeX #TeXLaTeX

Wow, executed `brew upgrade` because why not. Now, I am downloading 6.8GB of upgrades for mactex. Am I holding it wrong? #macos #tex

Good news: Free TTS is up and running! It's only in English for the moment, but the limits are way higher than most free (or even paid) sites.<< https://www.patreon.com/posts/152482814 >> #tts #darkweb #translation #extractAudioFromVideo #TeX #challenge #nomxd #Chatting🐾

@ColinTheMathmo @loopspace My impression is that #LaTeX is excellent for people who don't have strong requirements/preferences that other people haven't already catered for, but will be content to use the standard document formatting tools that it provides. (I was happy with what it did for me.)

#TeX is better for the complement of that set of people...

@loopspace As I say, I used #TeX for my PhD. I found it clear, understandable, and comparatively easy to use. All the things I needed to do I could work out how to do.

I find #LaTeX to be rather impenetrable in terms of asking it to do anything that someone else hasn't thought of and programmed in a package that somehow I have to find, install, and use without understanding.

So often I've started using it, wanted to do a thing, and been unable to work out how, so I've given up. Sometimes I've given up using #LateX, sometimes I've given up trying to do the thing.

1/n

Is there somewhere a sensible analysis of various packages/systems for writing papers/articles/etc.

Forty years ago I wrote my PhD in the original #TeX and have never really got into #LaTeX ... now I hear that there are things like #Typst and perhaps others.

What options are there, and how do they compare?

I wish I could make a simple #staticwebsite using #lualatex that looked just as pretty as #html + #css sites.

I am aware of #HUGO to make static sites with markdown, but I still feel inclined to use #TeX and friends.

@opensuse I do appreciate the occasional pause from writing my thesis. However ... 15 minutes plus (and counting) just to install updates? Should maybe have chosen a different #TeX distribution. #openSUSE

Typescholar now hosts a  Comprehensive TeX Archive Network (#CTAN) mirror at https://in.ctanmirror.typescholar.com/

Our mirror is registered at CTAN here: https://ctan.org/mirrors or https://ctan.org/mirrors#in

Other than monetary donations, hosting mirrors is a great way to give back to the #TeX community by offloading some of the traffic from the main servers.

Al final ya tengo Overleaf en local. El tutorial con el que empecé fue una perdida de tiempo, lo mejor la documentación oficial https://github.com/overleaf/toolkit #tex #overleaf #selfhosting

@AGSB я когда-то давно установил в termux TeXlive и даже что-то по фану собрал. С тех давних пор я успел сменить TeX на typst. Не так давно я вспомнил про установленный TeXlive и решил освободить место, ибо его всегда мало. А такой опции не предусмотрено :blobdeegoogly: Пакет маленький, в пакете скрипт, скрипт выкачивает TeXlive. Выпиливание TeX'а не предполагается. Пришлось ручками искать что-то похожее на TeX'овский bloatware («у нас отсутствует система удовлетворения зависимостей — это же ёбаная куча макросов! — поэтому мы установим вообще всё, что можно установить») и выпиливать. Удалил какую-то крупную директорию и забил.
