Firefox on Android: scrolling is lagging, and when scrolling to far the text takes time to appear. Even text that was already there before.

Checking someone else's work carries a lot of opportunity cost, and is only fruitful if one can learn new methods which apply to the own work. This is pretty risky, especially without tenure!

>Under the hood, rather than explicitly toggling between “light” or “dark”, it toggles between falling back to the system setting, and the opposite of the system setting.

Not sure I like this. Suppose my system is in dark mode because of low battery, but I want to read a page in light mode, so I change it. The next time I open the page with full battery (and thus system light mode), the page will render dark again...

Latin Sütterlin (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ausgangsschrift#/media/Datei:S...) has an x without backtracking. At first it looks a bit weird with the two loops, but I think they are exaggerated for didactical reasons. If you train a bit you can make it look like an x by making the loops thinner. Put differently, this is the "opposing c's"-method, without lifting the pen between the two c's.

How weird a book club that actively ignores the style of writing would be!

> Well, in case of a bank it can. And it happens on a daily basis.

You mean it happens when a bank borrows money from a central bank, right?

Not every balance sheet expansion constitutes the creation of money, e.g. when you put money on your bank account, the bank's balance sheet grows, but the money is not newly created.

The fact that f(L^2) is positive can be seen without inspecting coordinates: after all it is the length of e_i', hence positive.

> This implementation uses a randomised incremental algorithm to compute the 3D convex hull of the spherical points.

This makes me think he uses the Euclidean geometry of the surrounding three-dimensional space. But of course spherical geometry is induced by the surrounding Euclidean geometry, so the results are the same as using spherical geometry directly.

Btw, the unicode-out-of-the-box version of LaTeX is called LuaLaTeX and ships with TeX Live.

Thanks. If I understand correctly, Google AI Studio is listed as a Partner, which means they provide (at least) 60000$/year.

Some people have an arrow on top of their head, and when you approach them there is a dialog balloon with "...". If you click on them they give you a task.

Have you compared this to using lua in lualatex?

You are comparing the regulation of business practices to the breach of human rights. Do you also think your water company should be allowed to poison the water coming from your tap?
