| 19 | 11:09:37 | 1F616EMO@MT_TWI | hi y5nw |
| 20 | 11:09:44 | y5nw@MT_TWI | hi |
| 21 | 11:09:56 | 1F616EMO@MT_TWI | I had some *fun* with LaTeX |
| 22 | 11:10:00 | Maverick2797@MT_TWI | hi |
| 23 | 11:10:01 | y5nw@MT_TWI | oh? |
| 24 | 11:10:20 | 1F616EMO@MT_TWI | With passing \textbf into \StrSubstitute |
| 25 | 11:10:34 | 1F616EMO@MT_TWI | And I did not know I have to use \noexpandarg |
| 26 | 11:10:43 | 1F616EMO@MT_TWI | ^ in a \newcommand |
| 27 | 11:13:12 | 1F616EMO@MT_TWI | damnit, the leave time of OEX and NX is the exact same |
| 28 | 11:13:23 | 1F616EMO@MT_TWI | gotta modify the timetable later |
| 29 | 11:19:22 | 1F616EMO@MT_TWI | o/ |
| 30 | 11:20:40 | 1F616EMO@MT_TWI | When I was still in Yantian Road I wondered how y5nw moved non-linearly so fast; turns out I forgot y5nw has fly _ fast |
| 31 | 11:21:04 | Maverick2797@MT_TWI | *nyooooom* |
| 32 | 11:21:44 | 1F616EMO@MT_TWI | y5nw: Btw about LaTeX, how important is LaTeX in universtities? |
| 33 | 11:22:02 | y5nw@MT_TWI | 1F616EMO: helpful if you want to write reports |
| 34 | 11:22:55 | 1F616EMO@MT_TWI | And I guess LaTeX is better at copy-pasting style templates too |
| 35 | 11:23:02 | y5nw@MT_TWI | 1F616EMO: particularly if you have team projects; I have had two so far, and in both cases we collaborated with Overleaf |
| 36 | 11:23:07 | 1F616EMO@MT_TWI | in Microslop Word, you change one thing, and all is gone |
| 37 | 11:23:38 | 1F616EMO@MT_TWI | y5nw: I doubt my teammates would know what LaTeX is, unless me or the professor spend time on introducing it... |
| 38 | 11:24:27 | y5nw@MT_TWI | 1F616EMO: I get the feeling some of my teammates just (TM) managed to learn the basics of LaTeX only for the team projects |

| 42 | 11:26:18 | 1F616EMO@MT_TWI | Perhaps because when you leave schools, you don't find anywhere where you feel the urge to use LaTeX |
| 43 | 11:26:23 | 1F616EMO@MT_TWI | And LaTeX is *fun* |
| 44 | 11:27:00 | 1F616EMO@MT_TWI | About Word: I'm kinda suprised when I know that the sample papers of the HKDSE are written with Word - To me it's too painful to do anytime complex in Word |
| 45 | 11:27:19 | 1F616EMO@MT_TWI | Let along writing mathematical expressions including systems of linear equations |
| 46 | 11:28:23 | y5nw@MT_TWI | 1F616EMO: also: in the projects I am involved so far reports tend to be written with LaTeX while presentations are still made with Office or Google Docs |
| 47 | 11:29:30 | 1F616EMO@MT_TWI | That's also my preference (I use Google Doc or Libreoffice cuz I use Linux), probably because of the visuals |
| 48 | 11:29:48 | 1F616EMO@MT_TWI | Canva too sometimes |

| 52 | 11:31:46 | 1F616EMO@MT_TWI | welcome back |
| 53 | 11:31:55 | y5nw@MT_TWI | thanks |
| 54 | 11:32:56 | y5nw@MT_TWI | oh, and the professors here seem to use both Powerpoint and LaTeX, but it seems like courses that are more focused on mathematics tend to use LaTeX (for obvious reasons) |
| 55 | 11:33:26 | 1F616EMO@MT_TWI | It's just unaceptable to use Word for math-heavy tasks |
| 56 | 11:33:55 | Maverick2797@MT_TWI | similar thought: Excel is not a database |
| 57 | 11:34:03 | 1F616EMO@MT_TWI | My teachers mentioned that her subscription to some sort of math rendering service was problematic and she was then impossible to fix some problems perperly on the test papers |
| 58 | 11:34:18 | 1F616EMO@MT_TWI | ^ I may have recommended LaTeX |
| 59 | 11:35:35 | 1F616EMO@MT_TWI | Maverick2797: About Excel is not DB: My ICT (computer sciencea?) teacher used Google Sheets with Google API to back the counter of the campus run, and guess what |
| 60 | 11:35:43 | 1F616EMO@MT_TWI | the API hit its limit and started 429'ing |
| 61 | 11:36:00 | 1F616EMO@MT_TWI | I talked with a TA and we had a concensus: He should have used Sqlite |
| 62 | 11:36:58 | y5nw@MT_TWI | some math exam papers in school does not involve much more typesetting than some of the math(-heavy) exams I had |
| 63 | 11:37:57 | Maverick2797@MT_TWI | I'm in a similar situation at work: one client wants us to keep track of asset serial numbers along with other data attached to said asset... we have a system of spreadsheets because "you can open Excel sheets on any computer" |
| 64 | 11:38:27 | y5nw@MT_TWI | e.g. the statistics exam I had mostly involved sums (for discrete probabilities) and integrals (for continuous ones) |
| 65 | 11:38:37 | 1F616EMO@MT_TWI | raises their hand with a Linux computer without GI |
| 66 | 11:38:39 | 1F616EMO@MT_TWI | *Gi |
| 67 | 11:38:40 | 1F616EMO@MT_TWI | *GUI |
| 68 | 11:40:01 | y5nw@MT_TWI | except being able to open and edit the entire database on any computer is problematic to begin with for relatively obvious security/access control reasons |
| 69 | 11:40:12 | 1F616EMO@MT_TWI | lol |
| 70 | 11:40:20 | 1F616EMO@MT_TWI | rm -f |
| 71 | 11:40:44 | 1F616EMO@MT_TWI | But tech companies be like "if it works don't touch it" |
| 72 | 11:40:50 | 1F616EMO@MT_TWI | until it don't |
| 73 | 11:41:01 | Maverick2797@MT_TWI | tech companies? our client is government :( |
| 74 | 11:41:04 | 1F616EMO@MT_TWI | And "Hey crap why didn't you touch it" |
| 75 | 11:41:09 | 1F616EMO@MT_TWI | Maverick2797: of |
| 76 | 11:41:10 | 1F616EMO@MT_TWI | *oof |
| 77 | 11:41:20 | y5nw@MT_TWI | Maverick2797: that's quite ... fscked up |
| 78 | 11:41:33 | Maverick2797@MT_TWI | our data capture is a spreadsheet as a form, again for the same reason |
| 79 | 11:42:19 | 1F616EMO@MT_TWI | It seems like my ICt teacher's statement of "using SQL will allow the use of form" is obsolete |

| 82 | 11:44:18 | Maverick2797@MT_TWI | only so much efficiency you can expect from government I suppose |
| 83 | 11:44:32 | 1F616EMO@MT_TWI | * from any government |
| 84 | 11:44:54 | 1F616EMO@MT_TWI | I don't know why, but the impression government*s* give me is that they're darn slow |
| 85 | 11:45:42 | 1F616EMO@MT_TWI | And I start to feel it when I attempt to make the administration process on this server more open by doing more paperwork |
| 86 | 11:45:55 | 1F616EMO@MT_TWI | ^ Start to understand it |
| 87 | 11:46:27 | 1F616EMO@MT_TWI | People tend to be lazy and "if it works don't touch it" if doing something means being fscked by paperwork |
| 88 | 11:48:00 | 1F616EMO@MT_TWI | Btw are we forming our own form of Pietspeech and how should we name it |
| 89 | 11:48:05 | Maverick2797@MT_TWI | I understand "If it works don't touch it" but at the same time there's "If something can be improved to make someone's job easier, at least think about it" |
| 90 | 11:48:45 | Maverick2797@MT_TWI | spietspeech? |
| 91 | 11:48:52 | 1F616EMO@MT_TWI | spiet? |
| 92 | 11:49:34 | Maverick2797@MT_TWI | *ldpietspeech |
| 93 | 11:49:47 | Maverick2797@MT_TWI | "Leagally Distinct Pietspeech" |
| 94 | 11:50:02 | Maverick2797@MT_TWI | or just LDPS for short |
| 95 | 11:51:23 | 1F616EMO@MT_TWI | Sound like a good idea |
| 96 | 11:51:39 | 1F616EMO@MT_TWI | Then we can finally have a page that explains "fsck is just a utility don't overthink" |
| 97 | 11:52:09 | 1F616EMO@MT_TWI | Btw if you fsck the mounted system disk you're kinda fscked up |
| 98 | 11:52:32 | Maverick2797@MT_TWI | fsck around and grep out |
| 99 | 11:55:23 | 1F616EMO@MT_TWI | Creating that page nouw |
