2011:09:44y5nw@MT_TWIhi
2111:09:561F616EMO@MT_TWII had some *fun* with LaTeX
2211:10:00Maverick2797@MT_TWIhi
2311:10:01y5nw@MT_TWIoh?
2411:10:201F616EMO@MT_TWIWith passing \textbf into \StrSubstitute
2511:10:341F616EMO@MT_TWIAnd I did not know I have to use \noexpandarg
2611:10:431F616EMO@MT_TWI^ in a \newcommand
2711:13:121F616EMO@MT_TWIdamnit, the leave time of OEX and NX is the exact same
2811:13:231F616EMO@MT_TWIgotta modify the timetable later
2911:19:221F616EMO@MT_TWIo/
3011:20:401F616EMO@MT_TWIWhen I was still in Yantian Road I wondered how y5nw moved non-linearly so fast; turns out I forgot y5nw has fly _ fast
3111:21:04Maverick2797@MT_TWI*nyooooom*
3211:21:441F616EMO@MT_TWIy5nw: Btw about LaTeX, how important is LaTeX in universtities?
3311:22:02y5nw@MT_TWI1F616EMO: helpful if you want to write reports
3411:22:551F616EMO@MT_TWIAnd I guess LaTeX is better at copy-pasting style templates too
3511:23:02y5nw@MT_TWI1F616EMO: particularly if you have team projects; I have had two so far, and in both cases we collaborated with Overleaf
3611:23:071F616EMO@MT_TWIin Microslop Word, you change one thing, and all is gone
3711:23:381F616EMO@MT_TWIy5nw: I doubt my teammates would know what LaTeX is, unless me or the professor spend time on introducing it...
3811:24:27y5nw@MT_TWI1F616EMO: I get the feeling some of my teammates just (TM) managed to learn the basics of LaTeX only for the team projects

4011:25:081F616EMO@MT_TWI...
4111:25:47y5nw@MT_TWI❱ Joined the game
4211:26:181F616EMO@MT_TWIPerhaps because when you leave schools, you don't find anywhere where you feel the urge to use LaTeX
4311:26:231F616EMO@MT_TWIAnd LaTeX is *fun*
4411:27:001F616EMO@MT_TWIAbout 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
4511:27:191F616EMO@MT_TWILet along writing mathematical expressions including systems of linear equations
4611:28:23y5nw@MT_TWI1F616EMO: 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
4711:29:301F616EMO@MT_TWIThat's also my preference (I use Google Doc or Libreoffice cuz I use Linux), probably because of the visuals
4811:29:481F616EMO@MT_TWICanva too sometimes
4911:30:06y5nw@MT_TWI❰ Left the game (timed out)
5011:30:211F616EMO@MT_TWI... is Canva too scary?
5111:31:00y5nw@MT_TWI❱ Joined the game
5211:31:461F616EMO@MT_TWIwelcome back
5311:31:55y5nw@MT_TWIthanks
5411:32:56y5nw@MT_TWIoh, 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)
5511:33:261F616EMO@MT_TWIIt's just unaceptable to use Word for math-heavy tasks
5611:33:55Maverick2797@MT_TWIsimilar thought: Excel is not a database
5711:34:031F616EMO@MT_TWIMy 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
5811:34:181F616EMO@MT_TWI^ I may have recommended LaTeX
5911:35:351F616EMO@MT_TWIMaverick2797: 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
6011:35:431F616EMO@MT_TWIthe API hit its limit and started 429'ing
6111:36:001F616EMO@MT_TWII talked with a TA and we had a concensus: He should have used Sqlite
6211:36:58y5nw@MT_TWIsome math exam papers in school does not involve much more typesetting than some of the math(-heavy) exams I had
6311:37:57Maverick2797@MT_TWII'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"
6411:38:27y5nw@MT_TWIe.g. the statistics exam I had mostly involved sums (for discrete probabilities) and integrals (for continuous ones)
6511:38:371F616EMO@MT_TWIraises their hand with a Linux computer without GI
6611:38:391F616EMO@MT_TWI*Gi
6711:38:401F616EMO@MT_TWI*GUI
6811:40:01y5nw@MT_TWIexcept being able to open and edit the entire database on any computer is problematic to begin with for relatively obvious security/access control reasons
6911:40:121F616EMO@MT_TWIlol
7011:40:201F616EMO@MT_TWIrm -f
7111:40:441F616EMO@MT_TWIBut tech companies be like "if it works don't touch it"
7211:40:501F616EMO@MT_TWIuntil it don't
7311:41:01Maverick2797@MT_TWItech companies? our client is government :(
7411:41:041F616EMO@MT_TWIAnd "Hey crap why didn't you touch it"
7511:41:091F616EMO@MT_TWIMaverick2797: of
7611:41:101F616EMO@MT_TWI*oof
7711:41:20y5nw@MT_TWIMaverick2797: that's quite ... fscked up
7811:41:33Maverick2797@MT_TWIour data capture is a spreadsheet as a form, again for the same reason
7911:42:191F616EMO@MT_TWIIt seems like my ICt teacher's statement of "using SQL will allow the use of form" is obsolete

8111:43:14y5nw@MT_TWI❱ Joined the game
8211:44:18Maverick2797@MT_TWIonly so much efficiency you can expect from government I suppose
8311:44:321F616EMO@MT_TWI* from any government
8411:44:541F616EMO@MT_TWII don't know why, but the impression government*s* give me is that they're darn slow
8511:45:421F616EMO@MT_TWIAnd I start to feel it when I attempt to make the administration process on this server more open by doing more paperwork
8611:45:551F616EMO@MT_TWI^ Start to understand it
8711:46:271F616EMO@MT_TWIPeople tend to be lazy and "if it works don't touch it" if doing something means being fscked by paperwork
8811:48:001F616EMO@MT_TWIBtw are we forming our own form of Pietspeech and how should we name it
8911:48:05Maverick2797@MT_TWII 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"
9011:48:45Maverick2797@MT_TWIspietspeech?
9111:48:521F616EMO@MT_TWIspiet?
9211:49:34Maverick2797@MT_TWI*ldpietspeech
9311:49:47Maverick2797@MT_TWI"Leagally Distinct Pietspeech"
9411:50:02Maverick2797@MT_TWIor just LDPS for short
9511:51:231F616EMO@MT_TWISound like a good idea
9611:51:391F616EMO@MT_TWIThen we can finally have a page that explains "fsck is just a utility don't overthink"
9711:52:091F616EMO@MT_TWIBtw if you fsck the mounted system disk you're kinda fscked up
9811:52:32Maverick2797@MT_TWIfsck around and grep out
9911:55:231F616EMO@MT_TWICreating that page nouw
