For anyone doing HPC work and hasn't tried GFortran >=10, I highly suggest giving it a go. We switched to it for the arm64 improvements, but surprisingly also found a 20% speedup o…

You can allow IAM roles in your account (which simply just has the permissions defined, with no keys or other credentials associated) to be assumed by identities in another account…

The more I think about it, the more I believe Benford's Law can be violated too easily within more urban areas, especially when precinct sizes are artificially limited to a fixed s…

> Led by Sherry Suyu, the H0LiCOW (H_0 Lenses in COSMOGRAIL’s Wellspring) collaboration uses gravitationally lensed quasars to independently measure H_0. OMG I love physicists so m…

Hi Martin! Thanks for dropping by. > I personally don't think that a fork is viable, things are already hard enough as it is. I don't think so either. Scholdoc as a fork was always…

Thanks for the heads-up. I'm going to bug our admin again to upgrade.

I think a good way to build this into SM is to run an existing document thorough latex and looking at the aux file. This approach would be faster and almost certainly more robust, …

> Ideally, for smaller screens it would split across multiple lines. C'mon, nobody deserves to be subject to automatic TeX expression breaking. Even careful hand-tuning with help f…

I really want to address the math support, because I work with a lot of mathematicians, and one of my main goals is to support most of the latex AMS math features we're used to (as…

I've just updated the website to include a link to a repo where I am putting all the examples I have permission to share. https://github.com/timtylin/scholdoc-examples More will be…

As a thought exercise, assuming for simplicity that you can isolate the parts you're authoring, so that your changes only involve additions to other people's work: what kind of add…

I've actually been wondering if this is possible from a theoretical standpoint. I'm thinking you can use Pandoc's LaTeX to MD conversion mode, save changes to a copy, wdiff to get …

The goal is eventually to be able to, like what Authorea is trying to do now, just "slap on" various LaTeX style templates during final rendering (similar to how static blog engine…

Well, I did not realize Github has had AsciiDoctor integration for two years now (I've been doing most of my scientific work in GitLab during that time). I retract that comment and…

This was basically my original approach. However, after working out the math syntax I realized that some things, like the double-backtick inline math, just can't be accomplished wi…

Note: I'm the maintainer of this project Basically this is forked because I've been wanting to see how much change to the AST is needed to include most of the academic-specific fea…

I love AsciiBook. Everything but the name. If we ever get an amazing collaborative development tool like Github that has built-in AsciiBook rendering, this project would have been …

Yep, that's the idea. Published work today should be able to take advantage of modern screens and its ability to resize, reflow, and animate.

Note: I'm the maintainer of this project The series of blog posts by Martin (and his efforts with John in getting citations to work in Pandoc) was the impetus of this project. I've…
