Ah, the infamous public static void main(String[] args). Hopefully the next generation won’t need to learn all those concepts up front with the introduction of instance main methods in Java 25.

I wish I had known about ixnay earlier! I also got annoyed of the user experience, to the point where I also wrote my own tool, hdn: https://github.com/seasonedfish/hdn
I added a mention of ixnay to its readme :)

Yes! I was surprised too. It's a cool hidden mechanic of HN, the second chance pool[1].

I don't know if there's an advantage, haha. It was just the first thing that came to mind.
Looks like a pipe is also supported; you just need to pass `-` as the name of the file to `latexmlpost`.
latexml mydoc.tex | latexmlpost --dest=mydoc.html --format=html5 -Comment · 2 years ago
So, I originally posted this last year. When I posted it, I was using tectonic as my LaTeX compiler, and since it didn't support HTML output yet, I didn't actually try the article's suggestion.
Today, when I saw that I got an invitation to repost this article from the mods, I thought I'd take the time to try it out.
The two commands that the article suggests can be combined into one:
latexmlpost --dest=mydoc.html --format=html5 <(latexml mydoc.tex)

There's a new project, Inshellisense[1], that provides fig's completion directly in the shell. Also check out zsh-autocomplete[2], and if you use iTerm2, the built-in autocomplete functionality[3].

I recognized the 'g' and 'r' from Fira Mono, but from the slashed zero and ligatures (the raised x in 0x), I think the font is Fira Code[1].
I don't think the color scheme is Solarized Dark. Looks closer to Nord[2].

I'm proficient in data processing in research, especially with Python, Pandas, and Polars. I have also worked on several software projects, so I'm adept at writing backends, testing, and deploying to Linux servers.

After trying out Mac OS9[1], I discovered Balloon Help, and thought it was quite a neat feature. After I looked for more information about it, I came across this well-written blog post. I especially liked reading the author's reflections about computers being more helpful when they explained why things were.
It reminds me of this other story about writing better error messages[2]; maybe helpful computers are making a comeback.
