    Looks like it's just calling the crossref API

    Go and Rust are more suited than Java for building graphical user interfaces that run cross-platform? That would be news to me. Sure it can be done, but it's not exactly like there…

    Well, for one, KaTeX doesn't do "LaTeX" but a limited subset of the TeX equation syntax. As such, it can't handle more complicated macros or typesetting anything apart from equatio…

    And with that you're completely wrong, since strings in JavaScript are UTF-16. It just so happens that your example consists of two UTF-16 codepoints. (Node.js' Buffer uses UTF-8 b…

    Keyboard accessibility could use some love.

    This is not a very good explanation, nor is it useful for anything. A single qubit is not useful for computation and the way it is written doesn't generalize to more than a single …

    I find it slightly misleading that this is named after TeX, when it actually doesn't do TeX, but only has support for equations. But I've already complained about that [1] when you…

    I suppose it's since it doesn't really support LaTeX but instead uses MathJax to render equations. TeX is a a turing-complete language, picking some random subset of LaTeX commands…

    Actual research behind the article: https://arxiv.org/abs/2002.01491 This protocol depends on multipartite entanglement, so it does seem quite far away from being practical for any…

    That would be 2. What's done in such an experiment is that we initialize a quantum state in a particular state (that this is possible is not actually obvious, but let's assume it's…

    As a quantum physicist: This might be an interesting experiment, but as far as the theory goes, this is exactly what is to be expected from standard quantum mechanics. Quantum leap…

    This reminds me of my time in university, when I saved all my lecture notes as DjVu [1] files. It's a great file format for space-efficient archiving of scans like that, with a bit…
