  1. I have recently set up a new Substack called LaTeX Snippets on the LaTeX typesetting language. Early days but I have plenty in the pipeline.

  6. This month, TeX’s codebase shrank from 42.9 B to 37.7 B bytes—its steepest monthly drop to date. Its weighted star score also dipped from 850.9 k to 823.0 k, marking back-to-back declines in core metrics. #TeX #github

  7. I never thought this would happen, but: I am quickly getting won over by Typst and moving to abandon LaTeX.

    Not to brag -- except okay, I guess I totally am -- In grad school and afterwards, I was really, really good with LaTeX and made some fantastic stuff, especially with TikZ.

    But...Typst is simpler, easier, closer to Markdown, less idiosyncratic...*sigh*

  12. A new #Hieroglyphic release is out now. Thanks to the exciting work done by @bnyro,
    Hieroglyphic can now also recognize @typst symbols (a modern alternative to
    LaTeX). Hardware-acceleration will now be preferred over using the CPU, when
    available, reducing power-consumption.

    Head over to @flathub to download the latest version: flathub.org/en/apps/io.github.

  17. #introduction

    Hello Mastodon ! Je suis nouveau sur Mastodon. Je suis ingénieur informatique et chercheur en recherche opérationnelle. Je suis (grand) partisan d'#openSource et #scienceOuverte. Je m'intéresse à de nombreux sujets mais surtout #durabilité #vieprivee #lowtech #epistemologie.

    Je suis un peu un fan de #typesetting (composition d'après Wikipédia) donc j'utilise #LaTeX (ou #TeX), et #Typst. Je suis responsable de deux paquets Typst: glossarium et algorithmique.

    J'ai du temps libre avant le début de mon prochain travail, donc je parcours lentement ma pile de projets personnels...

    Au plaisir de rencontrer des gens ici!

  22. #introduction

    Hi Mastodon! I'm Pascal and new to Mastodon. I'm a computer engineer and a researcher in operations research. I'm a (fairly) strong advocate for #openSource and #openScience. I'm interested in many topics but mostly #sustainability #privacy #lowtech #epistemology.

    I'm a bit of a #typesetting nerd, so I use #LaTeX (or #TeX), and #Typst. I maintain two Typst packages: glossarium and algorithmic.

    I have some free time before my next work contract starts, so I have been slowly going through my personal projects backlog...

    Looking forward to meet people here!

  27. Just finished Stefan Kottwitz's LaTeX Beginner's Guide.

    I worked through it with a friend new to LaTeX. She loved the chapters on formatting, bibliographies, images, and tables. All code ran flawlessly with current LaTeX. Stefan's expertise and writing skills are unmatched. The book covers all key topics and provides great further resources. For a quick start, you only need this book.

  28. That's it, I am done with #TeX. I don't have time to completely rework everything every other week because something broke in some badly maintained module, and I can't stand fixing my letterhead every few days or deciding on a new table class every month. #LaTeX is dead, sadly.

    Now just let's hope @typst will not enshittify too fast…
