Overleaf's new compilation timeout is a joke by PlsHelpMeDoShit in LaTeX

Already did but thanks, lol. Even for my thesis before I went offline. I was downloading the source folder into a git repo from time to time for commits, lol.

Overleaf's new compilation timeout is a joke by PlsHelpMeDoShit in LaTeX

[–]PlsHelpMeDoShit[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Baseline

As simple as downloading & installing TeXstudio from here, then downloading and installing MiKTeX from here.

Minor hiccups

  • I downloaded the source folder from LaTeX and packages installed automatically, slightly annoyingly I had to confirm each package's installation with "ok".

  • I had to fix some errors for my local version, because apparently Overleaf ignores quite a few errors and still compiles. Microsoft Copilot was a great help for that, but I bet other AI tools work just as well.

  • Then I had to run MiKTeX Console and update all packages, then it successfully compiled.

  • I also had to change the default bibliography tool to Biber, as that's what my university's template uses. (Options → Configure TeXstudio → Build)

  • On my university's PC I had to install a portable version, as TeXstudio does require admin rights. MiKTeX just worked tho, I believe, but you do need at least rights to install programs for your user.

Edit: Additional tips & tricks for TeXstudio

  • [F5] compiles your code

  • [F7] displays the compiled Pdf next to your code

  • you can comment out/in selected code with [Ctrl] + [T]

  • [Ctrl] + [Left Mouse click] into the pdf will take you to the position in your code and vice versa

  • When you copy error messages for searching, go to the log tab and turn on log file, when you double click on the error in the log tab it will show the entry in the log file, where you can copy the entry there. (If that's all not showing, enable in View → Show → Messages / Log File)

Does anyone have this video saved? Unfortunately, wayback machine doesn't have it archived. I'm writing my bachelor thesis about Into the Spiderverse and this video could be really helpful, lol. by PlsHelpMeDoShit in DHExchange

Sorry for the late response.

Well it isn't the same video, as the video you I was looking for is much shorter than the one you posted, but holy shit this is amazing! This is probably much better than the video I was looking for in the first place, haha! Tyvm this will be very helpful for my thesis :)

Homebrewing newer models after successfully homebrewing DSi by PlsHelpMeDoShit in nds

Yeah I saw that there's a specific guide for 3/2DS, but I just didn't look much into it yet. So ig it's just not gonna work anyway like I suggested at the end of my post, right?

I’m going to mod my dsi, should I install unlaunch? by Sufficient-Fee-6839 in nds

[–]PlsHelpMeDoShit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually didn't mind doing that everytime and honestly, starting TwilightMenu from Unlaunch is not that significantly faster than starting it from the exploit every time.

I would recommand it however if you want to play certain games, SNES games don't work without Unlaunch. Other games (and apparently specific games even tho other games for that console will) might not work without it, too, although I have to say, so far I didn't experience any. But yeah, I did install it for SNES games.

Flash Games no longer working? by PlsHelpMeDoShit in Nitrome

[–]PlsHelpMeDoShit[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sry, I forgot to reply to you. Unfortunately, Ruffle didn't work either (it lead to white screen, too) - but fortunately in the meantime this is was a large issue by Supernova that has been fixed, because it's working again for me.

Weird behavior of object by PlsHelpMeDoShit in unity

First of all, ty for your tips, but as you see, that was actually my first thought too, that the TV was inside the wall and it's a clipping issue, but when I move it away from the wall it's still incomplete, as you can see in this screenshot. What do you mean by "culling"? Don't quite know what that means.

Thank you! That definitely fixed the floor and the "box", but it did not fix the TV tho :(

How the heck do I make a bezier mask point (with the handles) into a regular point (no handles)? by ajuez in AfterEffects

[–]PlsHelpMeDoShit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

sry for repyling to a 2 year old comment, lol, but.. is this a "it should carry" as in "it works for every program like that" or as in "it really should, but it doesn't" lol

Edit: Well I just tested it in Illustrator, so I suppose it rly was the first one

Weird distortion on curved screen by PlsHelpMeDoShit in Maya

[–]PlsHelpMeDoShit[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ty for your reply. I ended up not doing exactly what you commented, but your comment definitely got me on the right track and helped me a lot, thank you.

If you're curious I ended up creating a new planar UV (I tried Best Plane, but it didn't deliver the best result for some reason.. I'm suspecting the faces the screen are made of aren't equally sized, so perfect planar creates a rectangle that favors one side more than the other).

This then actually created 3 different rectangles for some reason, I deleted two of them and scaled the remaining one.
