interesting project; I’m not really sure how useful it is for field-specific stuff—I'm searching for “image reduction astronomy”, and it shows all sorts of related but not image-re…

Do you recall the name of the software? I am aware only of PhoSim ( https://www.phosim.org/ )

I disagree. The spacing of the stylized TeX/LaTeX logo is very sensitive to the font used (especially the LA pair); most LaTeX users already don't adjust it when they use a font ot…

This is not the workflow being discussed. Yes, you can use Pandoc Markdown (in which you can embed LaTeX) and then Pandoc can parse the markdown and produce a LaTeX file. But the a…

pandoc is seriously under-powered for the kinds of things that LaTeX and Typst can do. Much of the information in Typst/LaTeX source code would simply be ignored during the convers…

pandoc is much less powerful here since it can only parse a subset of LaTeX, as opposed to LaTeXML or lwarp which actually processes the LaTeX/TeX code expanding the macros etc, an…

I am unable to reply to any comments, so I’ll add my reply to blagie as a top-level comment instead: Gilles himself documents his process of using Inkscape here: https://castel.dev…

well yes, but it likely will be a “telephone number” and not even a simple one like say `2MASS J19593766+2246141` which is 2MASS (the survey name) and the coordinates of the star i…

there are still people using it---a few examples of being used in Malayalam: https://typedrawers.com/discussion/4912/metafont-in-2023-nup... (the paper linked there has more inform…

Euclid's website has some nice explainers­ – for example, https://www.euclid-ec.org/public/core-science – which mentions using two methods: - “weak gravitational lensing” with the …

yes, and yes. they call this “Odd Spreads” and “Even Spreads” it is available in their Tools menu (the >> icon)

Most of the article is copied wholesale from the official press release: https://science.nasa.gov/missions/hubble/nasas-hubble-finds-... I'm not even sure how they managed to screw…

> I cut-&-pasted Buttrick's quote from his website without alteration directly into HN's edit box and the uppercase text was immediately converted to lowercase. I'd not planned thi…

Already, this has rebuttals: https://twitter.com/lacalaca85/status/1666501987435700225 (link to a thread by author) and the paper itself: https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.3847…

In the case of phys.org, they just repost (or maybe re-host is a better word?) University press releases, among other things, verbatim, so this probably is just the press release f…
