politics

whereas your state is trying to pass some sort of rifle ban

Virginia isn't going to pass any of the 20+ retarded bills that got introduced

i would hope so

Idk why they're getting media coverage

Fundraising ig

But I feel like it'll just demoralize their constituents when they don't happen

here are 20 blatantly unconstitutional bills we propose

One of them was to ban private schools

Or the ban the Republican party bill

The out-of-cycle gerrymandering one has mostly fallen out of the news, when even liberals started realizing it was a meme

a real country

what is a board of peace

trumps israel gaza thing where countries can pay 1 billion to get on it

its nothing

its just funny to laught at

it will replace the united nations!

He holds supreme power and only he can elect the new ruler, something like that too

the bored of peace logo is truly terrible

why is trump so bent on making a deal with the regime that has killed 20-40k protestors

is your preferred alternative to just glass iran then?

yes

I have not read whatever you are responding to yet

based

Trump's announcing his Trump savings account thing today which seems like a direct improvement over the current quagmire of different random programs parents can use to save for their kid

to align with government initiatives for memory safety he should instead force upon newyorkers typst

I'm going to keep using the physics package instead of physics2 even if it can crash if I put 300 matrices in a document

why would I go to typst

you should probably stick to latex. typst is like halfway between latex and markdown

i'm looking at it and the fact that it is a web app is disqualifying

its not a web app

latex can be a web app to by that definition

I just found the compiler link

Why you would want a halfway point between markdown and latex,I do not know

and I despise overleaf

a halfway point between markdown and latex is MathJax

for casuals

^

casuals are using word

markdown honestly is better than typst, if itwas ever implemented fully and consistently

microsoft keeps making word worse and libre is missing a lot

Markdown unirronically needs to be forgotten about and replaced

me, who writes my shopping list in typst

(I inclode google docs as word)

its all the same thing

markdown is what jupyter notebooks use for text fields so that is all I use it for

I will never go back to Open/Libre office

I did that for too long

google docs is a web app so my stance is obvious

If Google ever fully enshittifies docs idk where I'll go

do not go to writting random notepads

biggest mistake of your life

well

I technically do that rn

notepad has formatting now

(I do that too)

even though I keep trying to migrate everything to Obsidian

but Google docs for actual writing

I use word pretty much exclusively for its quick equation typesetting

If I am doing a single thing with equations, I am just using LateX

even if it is more awkward

and adds time

I use it as a scratch pad then latex typeset it later

I loooove Overleaf, I set up my own Overleaf server

I set up Overleaf on navy enclaves too

pay money to make this web app work slightly better when you can do everything in VSCode for free

It took about 8 hours of work to get VS Code slightly on par with Overleaf, but I never use VS Code so I'm not familiar with any of its shitty quirks

I don't know what would take 8 hours

I like the number of templates Overleaf has, but I also don't use latex that much day-to-day

there's the learning curve of how to setup build orders and the need to fix the broken spellchecking extension but with no knowledge that shouldn't take an entire day

About 3 hours to download latex, bibtex, and pdflatex with all of those packages because we have roughly 100Kbps max bandwidth. Then, because no program can access the internet programmatically, I needed to download a bunch of those vsix extension files until it would work

oh you are dealing with some very specific issues

Maybe it's easier if I could just click the download button inside VS Code, I'll say that lol

i use miktex when i am setting up a vscode latex environment

I just did this for my new work desktop

Trump accounts being traditional accounts instead of Roth accounts is a big L Though it depends how they define their tax-free categories, there are a couple obvious exploits rn I can see, which are essentially borrowing against your account or doing some liquidity conversion via property based on my read of it, every employer is heavily incentivized to start offering matching contributions to child accts, which will likely get even retards to start contributing to their kids IRA from-birth For context, rn the only similar thing available are 529 savings accounts, which are heavily flawed and rarely used correctly

What do you mean by flawed and used incorrectly?

I don't know anything about the 529 plan (besides my cursory google search), genuinely curious
