• LaTeX and AsciiDoc

  I'm allergic to LaTeX ;-), but initially used SILE, which is a modern reimagining of TeX/LaTeX. It reads Markdown natively, so I could push the content in directly and style it for the printed page. However, SILE is still very early in development, and I had some major problems with baseline alignment. It turned out to be far less of a pain to do it in InDesign, even with the need to write conversion scripts. Source: about 1 year ago

• Typst, a modern LaTeX alternative written in Rust, is now open source

  What are your thoughts on SILE (https://sile-typesetter.org/)? I think it’s the tool roughly in this space, and “write djot -> SILE convertor” is on my hobby todo list. I am 95% sure in the djot part here, but I am fairly naive when it comes to typography, and can’t really estimate the SILE part. Source: about 1 year ago

• TeXmacs “The Jolly Writer” book now available as pdf download

  TeX/LaTeX is so addictive to use ... It's such a quirky and messy ecosystem. So organically grown over decades. Doing any complex layout is a struggle of trial and error and searching for advise, there's so many ways to do the same thing, you end up combining two dozens sometimes subtly incompatible packages, you end up gardening your own templates over time with meticulously embedded commentary to keep the... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Ask HN: LaTeX is great. Has anyone tried to build something better?

  I actually have really enjoyed SiLE[0] as a replacement. The only caveat being that it has no where near the ecosystem that LaTeX has built up over the years. I do think that it is better under the hood than LaTeX though and much easier to customize. [0]: https://sile-typesetter.org/. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• ElasticSearch from the Azure store or from Elastic.co?

  What surprised me is that on the Azure store, the only option I see is (Pay as you go), whereas on elastic.co there are the standard platinum and enterprise tiers followed by a where to deploy page and a pricing overview. Source: 12 months ago

• Hunspell on elastic.co cloud

  Can anyone help me how to upload custom hunspell stemmer files to elastic cloud (elastic.co)? According to elastic docs it should go under elasticsearch/config/hunspell, but according to cloud docs I should upload it via features/extension tab. So I tried zipping the hunspell folder and uploading it. I also figured out that it should be in the dictionaries folder, but after uploading it still doesn't work. Source: about 1 year ago

• Creating a modern, SaaS website.. what am I missing?

  I can't figure out where I have to go to get more or less of a custom, premium website. I should mention that I look up to websites like elastic.co for example, would be very happy with something like that. I could really use some guidance! Source: over 1 year ago

• Seeking clarification about which part of ElasticSearch to use for our website

  I have been trying to digest the elastic.co website to try to understand how we can use elastic search, but I've come to a point where I'm not sure which part of elastic, (if any) makes sense for us. In fact I am royally confused. I wonder if anyone here can help clarify? Source: almost 2 years ago
