@mhsatman @minigamedev typst really is wonderful though ... hoping it will be the standard in the future, but may take time since LaTeX has a strong legacy.

@minigamedev When it comes to academic publishing, most journals are only just starting to provide LaTeX support. I'll cast my vote in favor of LaTeX.

The first reason I like to write things in LaTeX is because it compiles the text into a PDF, and it makes me feel like I'm coding. I like compilers! The second reason is that it doesn’t leave the formatting entirely up to me.

@uPicchini Nice catch!

Harold Jeffreys introduced the | notation for conditional probabilities. Learned from bayesianspectacles.org/the-man-who-re…

@wandedob No thanks, sounds like more work!

Grant applications should work more like papers. Instead of Accept/Reject, it should be Accept/Minor revision/Major revision/Reject.

@wandedob In Statistics they don't, at least that is my experience.

Why do journals ask for copyright forms before a paper is accepted?

Big News! On behalf of the ASA, Taylor & Francis are launching a new journal: 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗰𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗗𝗮𝘁𝗮 𝗦𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗜𝗺𝗮𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 The journal goes live for submissions later this month, but take a look at the cover! @tandfSTEM tandfonline.com/journals/usdi20

@wandedob Vilken finansiär?

Lite småroligt att finansiärer tror att den OH jag betalar på forskningsmedel ska ge mig några datorer... "Det är inte tillåtet att ta upp kostnader för inköp av persondatorer eller annan normal kontorsutrustning i ansökan. Dessa förväntas ingå i de indirekta kostnaderna."

@Yukiteru_Amano @thatstraw Never tried BSD, but was always curious. Pros and cons, compared to Linux?

@thatstraw I'm using #OpenBSD

What's stopping you from using Linux?

@Hong_Ge2 @TuringLang @ZoubinGhahrama1 It is such a great project! How is the funding nowadays?

It was a cold start when I started recruiting contributors for @TuringLang using a small budget from @ZoubinGhahrama1, but things went quite well.

The State of Julia talk, which is my favorite one of each year. Quick summary: @JuliaConOrg

@cameron_pfiffer @JuliaLanguage Happy sponsor since some time back. Julia is a constant joy.

I'm now sponsoring the @JuliaLanguage on GitHub, which you should also consider if you like the language! github.com/sponsors/Julia…

@DrRBailo @JuliaLanguage Because a three language problem is greater than two.

@oxinabox_frames I like it for communicating ideas to co-authors or PhD students. I never use any type of notebook for doing actual work. The binder thing and load times makes it less suitable for undergrads. There I use (Observable) Javascript directly in the browser.

I try so hard to like Pluto.jl but its a lot to get used to. I am going to give it til I am done writing my juliacon presentation in it to learn to like it. And am going to try to not run any of the code i want to demo outside of Pluto. It's very different

\textit{} in a title shows up like this on Google Scholar.

@ajordannafa All the best. Hope the recovery is fast and smooth.

@StefanKarpinski I knew we have Metal.jl, but wasn't aware of Leather.jl.

Omg this is amazing

@wandedob Oh no. I don't think we can be friends anymore now.

I didn't think I would be one of those persons having a Teams meeting on a train, but...

@FJavierRubio1 Ok, thanks, that makes sense!

@matvil I am not sure if this is the reason, but it might be related to the newly discovered vulnerability in the R Language (CVE-2024-27322). We were advised in my department to upgrade to R 4.4.0 and not open data from untrusted sources. security.berkeley.edu/news/cve-2024-…

R-people: what's the deal with so many really standard packages (Matrix, MASS etc) now depending on the most recent R version 4.4.0? Why depending on such a recent version, without fallback on slightly older versions of R?

Moving my cluster compute from the Rackham cluster at @UU_University to the Dardel cluster at @KTHuniversity . Pity to have something this beautiful only at a remote location. Nils Dardel was a famous Swedish post-impressionist (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nils_Dard…)
