Why you would want a halfway point between markdown and latex,I do not know
Replying to Phijkchu_Pikachu #klombak Why you would want a halfway point between markdown and latex,I do not know
for casuals
who the fuck is casually using either
casuals are using word
markdown honestly is better than typst, if itwas ever implemented fully and consistently
Markdown unirronically needs to be forgotten about and replaced
(I inclode google docs as word)
its all the same thing
I will never go back to Open/Libre office
I did that for too long
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
(I do that too)
even though I keep trying to migrate everything to Obsidian
but Google docs for actual writing
If I am doing a single thing with equations, I am just using LateX
even if it is more awkward
and adds time
I like the number of templates Overleaf has, but I also don't use latex that much day-to-day
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
used incorrectly is mostly down to, parents/relatives only gift some funds at birth, and then they sit there and invested automatically with a bad target year curve.
funds added in the last 5 years are also treated completely differently, to prevent parents from "gaming" the system to dodge taxes
my big issue is like a lot of financial things, it's impossible to understand wtf they are for most people, and all the nuance of how to use them right and which "hacks" to use to fully advantage using them
custodians also have too much power to easily withdraw funds from them
and my big thing is (like HSAs) you set up these good mechanisms to save people a lot of money, but then penalize them for how far off on their predictions they were, which often then leads people to overspend to not "lose" some of those advantaged funds
if the stars align and they're used perfectly, congrats, you win
but most of the time they're well-intentioned but ultimately less efficient than other ways of saving
Trump Accts, (beyond that the seed money is free) seem better and more flexible on paper, will have a MASSIVE enrollment base, and be a political football that is more broadly understood and discussed
Who is ron Paul
think he hosts a drag queen show
