That's fair, I generally make charts for publication, so I spend much more time and effort on the details. But I can understand this being useful for quick exploration for some people. Generally speaking, I suggest anyone interested in learning to make charts get familiar with grammar of graphics [0] libraries like Vega-Lite, Observable Plot, ggplot2, Altair. There is a bit of a learning curve if you're used to... - Source: Hacker News / 11 days ago
I am building in the language learning sector, and this test is almost certainly not accurate (depending on what you want to measure). It's fun and cool though. But basically this is all based on a frequency list, which itself depends on the corpus. I have not been able to find a good corpus of English which is representative of modern spoken English. Spoken english depends on your age range and subculture and and... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago
I once tried to fully analyze the amazing NTSC emulation used in OpenEmulator. I went down a rabbit hole that involved losing motivation several lessons in to a signal processing class on YouTube, but for those interested, I did at least pull quite a lot of it apart here: https://observablehq.com/@zellyn/apple-ii-ntsc-emulation-openemulator-explainer I also ported it to JavaScript (linked from above page). - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago
Pluto is great. I use it all the time. If you like the reactivity/reproducibility but are wedded to Python, you might want to check out Marimo, which is also great. [https://marimo.io/] It too puts the output of a cell above the code so if you're unable to adapt to things that are different it's also probably not for you. FWIW, Observable's Notebooks (Javascript) work the same way: output above the code... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago
Yes. And just on the arithmetic it should be crystal clear that no data center is anywhere near energetic enough to heat the countryside for miles around. The effect comes from the man-made surfaces facing the sun instead of natural ground cover. Only the sun has the energy to do this. I used the paper's data to investigate some of their claims. The top figure shows the temperature in the area surrounding Google's... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago
ZUGFeRD and Factur-X are standards used in Germany and France that solve this by putting both readers in one file: a normal PDF users can look at, with the structured invoice data embedded as XML for automation. This post explains why you would want or need that and how Oicana produces such a file from a Typst template. - Source: dev.to / 21 days ago
Like many of us here I prefer not use PowerPoint. Recently I've been making slides in Typst (https://typst.app) which is great, except there's no good way to actually present the resulting PDF, and no support for speaker notes, videos or GIFS. To fix this I built Presio: https://presio.xyz. Present any PDF in the browser as two synced windows, a controller (speaker notes, timer, media controls) and a viewer for... - Source: Hacker News / 24 days ago
This post looks at what the European Accessibility Act and the US accessibility framework (ADA and Section 508) mean for businesses that produce PDFs, whether PDF/UA is actually required, and how Oicana exports PDF/UA-1 documents from Typst templates. - Source: dev.to / about 1 month ago
> Is there anything similar to (or better than) overleaf for collaborating on typst docs? To be clear, overleaf isnโt all that great but I sometimes work with groups that are used to it. Yes, https://typst.app/ is the official Typst app (part of how they make money). > Have conferences that traditionally accepted latex source (and specified latex templates) started accepting typst as well? Very few by now. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago
Co-maintainer here. Tectonic is a cool project, but hasn't seen any significant changes in a few years---and likely won't anytime soon. It seems we maintainers don't have the time and motivation to put serious work into Tectonic. I haven't looked at the code in years (and thus may be wrong), but here's a quick overview: Tectonic's code consists of thin bindings to /harfbuzz/graphite/etc and a vendored XeTeX port,... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago
