At which scale are you looking at? We have used Miyawaki to create a microclimate around our house, perhaps 120m^2, in a tier-3 town in Andhra. I have heard someone saying the mini…

I hope there would be enforced regulation around this kind of thing in cities in India. In residential areas, it's common that your house takes up almost all of your available plot…

Why is it called a deal instead of eg. a treaty? Less formalism may make it easier to achieve but sounds like easier to discern as well.

I don't use aliases, but abbreviations that expand to the actual full command. Helpful to type less and history has the exact.

I'm sticking with LaTeX, not as a fetish, but because journal/conferences still do not accept e.g. typst. Will they ever do? I don't know, depends on their willingness to integrate…

Every sci-fi is a contemporary author's idea of the future. The further our the more unlikely the idea. Would love the site to be extended to any sci-fi. The percentages could be a…

I'm on a relatively large Indian ISP, and my home network gets an IPv6 network assigned, which is directly routable. Didn't think about it until tailscale told me it was connecting…

I like to use llm to produce code for known problems that I don't have memorized. I memorize really little and tend to spend time on reinventing algorithms or looking them up in do…

I feel like blog posts auto -adjust posts to some recent date for seo optimization, so most dates on blog posts are useless.

It's not great news for my old phone used for wifi at our guesthouse (let's a few security cams and our smart lock get online)

I find myself very rarely using window features of emacs. Am I missing out on something? I value mostly screen space dedicated to the one thing I am doing.

For one of my first papers during PhD, I had a blatant bug in my implementation. Only realized while doing further research building on that previous paper. I think in any field it…

I occationally use chrome (not chromium) to get the cast functionality -- in order to bring a website to my tv.

As someone who is already happily using JuuceFS, perhaps you can provide a short list of differences (conceptual and/or technical). Thanks for a great product.

Are there journals/conferences that accept typst for typesetting yet? It is probably my main reason for staying in LaTeX.

Having composed pieces of academic writing, I would like that, journals would start to supporting typst, or, plugins/bridges to LaTeX/Word would fall in place. For now I would not …

My isp does not use "ai", but presents me with their decision tree, which is hooked up to some automation along the way to e.g. check my speed. It works well, indo not have to gues…

I could imagine a problem here in India, where there is no funding for publishing papers, especially for graduate students.

Emacs on my system is ~8sec load time, vs ~5sec load time for Code. I have not optimized either (but I have decided on using Straight as package manager on Emacs, which is arguably…
