  1. One pro tip to remember, if your #Mac is running low on space: if you've ever used #MacTeX, check that old versions have been deleted. They take up huge amounts of space and don't get removed when installing new versions.

  6. Performing some quick statistical analyses in classic #RStats and neatly “knitting” them into a PDF using #RMarkdown, #knitr, and #MacTeX #texLaTeX.

    Call me old-fashioned, but I really enjoy this workflow. :awesome:

  11. What doesn't work so well. Trying to:
    - install a 6.5Gb package (#MacTeX #MacOS)
    - from an SMB-mount
    - over a Wireguard VPN connection.

    Currently looking at something like 30 mins and counting, and an unreasonable amount of data SENT BACK to the fileserver. Weird.

    The connection to the server is reasonably fast, ca. 25 MB/s, so there's some churn somewhere.

    Bummer that there seems to be no way to install the 9.5GB out of this 6.6GB package without ALSO having it stored on the machine? HTTPFS?

  16. 🙄 #MacOS `installer -verbose -pkg ...` produces umpteen thousand lines of:

    installer: Writing files….....

    Let's see if this helps me debugging why it's somehow sooo difficult to install the 6 Gb #MacTeX package from a network drive without copying it to the local disk first. About one line per second, running for a fair few minutes now.

  21. I'm considering jumping into #LaTeX via #Mactex and #lilypond for producing papers with embedded music snippets. Anybody have any experience with this workflow?

  22. "All right, let's write this out with #LyX."
    (Typing. Done.)
    "A but I need this specific format for this one thing... how the hell..."
    (Many hours later)
    "OK, that hack seems to kind of work. Let's render it now to RTF. Crap, that doesn't work. Ah my MacTeX is from 2017, maybe that's why..."
    (Now downloading new 5.51GB #MacTeX)

    Let's see how this ends. Original text was in #IAWriter but that had even less layouting features and I wasn't in the mood to learn how to do a custom template.

  27. Bah, needed to add a minor #LaTeX package:

    tlmgr: Local TeX Live (2020) is older than remote repository (2022).

    Time to update my #MacTex installation again - 5GB downloaded for the 2022 edition (shame I couldn't wait for 2023 release)

  32. While I don’t think there’s a way to do it, I would love a #JupyterNotebook plug-in that allows use of a local #TeXLive or #MacTeX distribution.
