As a long-time LaTeX user, I can confirm that there’s quite a bit of overlap between that and masochism.
I was going to say I like the outcome of LaTeX, far more than the experience of actually setting the outcome up.
Curious, is anyone pronouncing them the same or does this only work in text?
I’ve not heard anyone pronounce them the same, but I don’t doubt they’re out there. Probably a decent overlap with the people who pronounce GIF like the peanut butter.
It’s pronounced yiff, right?
The X is pronounced “tweet” apparently.
I’ve only heard LaTeX pronounced like latex in media where someone uses it to show what a geek some character is. eg, I’ve been typsetting my homework assignments in latex since I was 9.
I’ve never encountered that kind of LaTeX in media.
I’ve always pronounced it “Lah-tekh”
They’re pronounced so differently my wife didn’t get it until I informed her that LaTeX is how “latec” is spelled
Wait is the TeX not short for “text”? I’ve always pronounced them the same.
I’ve literally never heard anybody pronounce them differently, your comment confused me at first but TIL.
You guys should try https://typst.app/
Love Typst, and I hope it takes off.
I’ve seen this floating around a few times but am too tired to invest energy into this specific hype train. What exactly makes it stand apart from latex or markdown (then pandoced into latex)? Genuine question. I think once you’ve found your way around Latex, the major pain IMHO is whenever you apply it for a new use case and need to find out which packages to load that are not outdated. Ah, and alt text for images. But AFAIR this is already mostly solved, just not shipped widely yet.
Pros of Latex I think are important to keep in mind:
- it works since ever and for probably the rest of all our careers
- there is an established community
- the codebase doesn’t change on a whim
I believe I can’t help you with this, because my motivations behind using it are different. I’ve only used latex for fun before, and now I use typst instead of regular word processor, whenever I need to create a PDF.
They’re the same person
Can confirm
same me
I love gimp
I love windows.
Oh, wait… nooo…
Anyone else have any good latex quotes? Here’s mine:
“I don’t mean to brag, but I’m deathly allergic to latex.”
Weird how this meme format is always ‘man nerd’ and ‘woman normal’.
Especially when you read left to right so the “punchline” should be on the right I think.
It’s Zoey Deschanel, idk how normal that woman is.
I 🖤 gals like her.
