Yeah, the Rummo Gluten Free pasta is just on another level in the UK vs the own-brand stuff. Thank goodness!

Also, rebasing is a lot easier when you have small commits, rather than a mega conflict.

Thanks for making this point! I'm chiming in just to add that the Jupyter Book project that builds MyST tooling is now using a new TypeScript stack instead of Sphinx, for any inter…

The problem of "where did I see that" is something I suspect most people have encountered before. How that's actually done, though, is the devil. The vision -- semantic search of h…

I love this angle, and would take it further. I'm starting to think about AI in the same way that we think about food ethics. Some people are vegan, some people eat meat. Usually, …

I am lazily posting this all over the thread, but do check out MyST Markdown too! https://mystmd.org . We handle footnotes as a structured object.

MyST Markdown (the MD flavour, not the same-named Document Engine) was inspired by ReST. It was created to address the main pain-point of ReST for incoming users (it's not Markdown…

Feel free to check out MyST Markdown, which very much aims to specify "structured Markdown": https://mystmd.org

Do check out MyST Markdown ( https://mystmd.org )! Academic publishing is a space that MyST is being used, such as https://www.elementalmicroscopy.com/ via Curvenote. (I'm a MyST c…

The PyPI ecosystem can not, for the foreseeable future, replicate the scope of the conda ecosystem. From microarch builds to library deduplication, conda is a more general purpose …

I don't disagree with the general vibe here, but a few points: - It's hard to compare Omicron vs delta because of the number of confounding variables - population heterogeneity, va…

A shameless plug for the MyST Engine https://mystmd.org/ It's a document engine that ingests Markdown (particularly the MyST superset) and builds upon "structured data" for sharing…

I want to be careful about what I write given the context of what's going on, and the personal ramifications that can have. Suffice to say, it's worth considering whether the cost …

> I think that current timelines, while not particularly awe-inspiring, are quite realistic (Germany: no more coal for electricity within 2038). I am not an expert on this, at all.…

It's a fair point to distinguish that baseload is just one mechanism to reduce the amount of surplus renewable capacity required to cover demand. However, what is the alternative i…

I am not an expert by _any_ means, but to provide _some_ intuition — self-attention is ultimately just a parameterised token mixer (see https://medium.com/optalysys/attention-fouri…

Have you used the contemporary tooling in this space? `mamba` (and ~therefore, `pixi`) is fast, and you can turn off the base environment. The UX is nicer,too!

Yes, but there are restrictions; for one thing, it's not trivial to share binary dependencies between Python packages; conda just handles that.

If you use conda, and can use conda for what you need to do, use conda w/ conda-forge. It has a much better story for libraries with binary dependencies, whereas PyPI (which `uv` u…

Oh, it turns out we already do this! A small bugfix to make these always-visible on mobile displays :) https://github.com/jupyter-book/myst-theme/issues/513

The main _technical_ difference between the two tools is the underlying approach to how we handle ASTs. MyST-MD leverages the unified-js tooling around AST handling, whereas Quarto…

This is a lovely comment to read, thank you. The only implementation of restructured text is the docutils-Sphinx ecosystem. MyST Markdown was designed as a nicer language for Markd…

mystmd supports parsing .tex files as well as MyST Markdown. There are some technical limitations here given the difficulty in parsing Markdown, but it's certainly usable.

MyST-MD is also aimed at publications! See the SciPy proceedings for some examples: https://proceedings.scipy.org/2024

MyST-MD is intended to be > a Sphinx alternative in TypeScript. We have some unfortunate naming that follows from history. The Python tools you're referring to are a distinct proje…
