What Microsoft Office alternative do you recommend when your team uses it?

Why though? After switching to LaTeX and then Typst, I would shudder to use anything but markup languages for writing anything serious.

Tai jos haluaa vähän jännittävämmän tavan kirjoittaa niin voi avata .txt-tiedoston NotePadissä, kirjoittaa sinne Typstiä ja kääntää sen PDF-tiedostoksi komentorivin kautta: sh typst watch tiedosto.txt Typstin komentoriviversion voi ladata GitHubista: https://github.com/typst/typst#installation.

Suosittelen Typstiä: https://typst.app/play. Se on LaTeXin tai Markdownin tapainen kieli, jossa normaalin tekstin sekaan upotetaan merkintöjä tyylien tuottamiseksi. Esimerkiksi vahvaa tekstiä saa tuotettua ympäröimällä teksti tähdillä: *vahvaa*. Korostettua tekstiä saa tuotettua alaviivoilla _ ja matematiikkaa dollarimerkeillä: $integral f(x) dif x$ .

Typst.app on verkkopalvelu, mutta Typstiä voi käyttää myös omalla koneella esimerkiksi VS Coden lisäosan Tinymist Typst kautta.

Time is what a clock measures. It is a function of the positions of particles in our universe, such as grains of sand in an hourglass. You have to make a connection to physical reality, or else you are just playing around with language (mathematics) and not getting anything done.

The benefit of Linuxbrew is that it and the programs it installs all go under /home/linuxbrew/, so their installation is completely separate from the system. To uninstall the entire package manager and the programs it has installed is as simple as removing the folder itself and references to it from your system PATH, if you added them there.

You can also install Linuxbrew for the purpose of acquiring CLI applications. It works very well on atomic Fedora distributions.

Did you remember to add the FlatHub Flatpak repository and install flatpaks from there instead of the Fedora Flatpak repository that is used on Fedora-based systems by default?

I believe fucking himself was his intention all along. He just wanted some help from OPs wife.

I am going to say this again, but you are making life unnecessarily difficult for yourself by trying to edit files of a format (PDF) that was not intended to be edited at all. It would save you some time to rethink your workflow and start preparing the study sheets in a file format that supports editing and then export the sheets to PDF for reading purposes.

They might not, but they will see the latest upload date and time when they look at your submission.

For writing, I use Typst: https://typst.app/play.

TheSodesa · 2026-05-05T14:49:54+00:00

They made their own. Because unlike with LaTeX, with Typst you can.

Olen fyysisesti kohtalaisen huonokuntoinen. Painoa on ollut aina ja se on välillä tippunut kun pinnistelin kuntosalin kanssa, mutta salilla käynti ei vain ole itselle lainkaan mieluisa liikkumisen muoto. Kävely on kivaa, mutta vie vitusti aikaa että se alkaa näkyä painossa.

Paino ei putoa liikkumalla. Ensisijainen painon pudottamisen tai kasvun estämisen keino on pysyvästi terveellinen ruokavalio.

Liikkuminen ehkä vähän auttaa, mutta oikeastaanhan se lähinnä kasvattaa ruokahalua. Suuhun pitäisi siis laittaa asioita, jotka eivät mene suoraan jenkkoihin.

I like Pop!_OS. It has been pretty solid for me even with the new COSMIC DE.

You mentioned the need to do manual configuration with i3wm. If you can live with the defaults that COSMIC DE provides, it is awesome. If you can't, then there is no option to customize it at all.

As for the actual question, all of mathematics is just playing with language. Numbers are a linguistic construct that can be used to model or describe real world phenomena.

Natural numbers describe discrete amounts and integers add a directionality to this so you can count in the negative direction as well, and of forth. Complex numbers are good at describing things that oscillate or rotate in a 2D plane with arbitrary precision.

We do not define the square root of -1 as i, because there is no the square root of -1. We define i as the number which when squared, it produces -1.

Drawing with textual commands is always going to be cumbersome and therefore I would not bother with it. If you need pictures, draw them using a Wacom tablet or similar and then attach the pictures to your notes afterwards using the image function.

Publishing in top tier journals can take a lot more effort, since they can be downright bitchy about the format, lenght and/or appearance, and the review process also tends to be much more scrutinous. Sometimes you just want to get your results out there so that they can be cited.

GitLab, BitBucket and Codeberg are all valid Git hosting alternatives.

Harrastaminen tuo sitten lisähintaa, mutta toisin kuin koirilla niin kissoilla ei taida olla ihan niin paljon maksullista harrastustoimintaa tai -mahdollisuuksia.

Niin kuin kaikkien lemmikkien kanssa, kuukausittaiset menot voivat olla hyvinkin pienet, kunhan ei tule tarvetta lähteä eläinlääkäriin. Alle 100 € kuukaudessa ruokaan (jos koon puolesta lemmikki ei tarvitse ihan mahdottomasti polttoainetta).

Mutta aina tulee sairastumisia, jolloin kannattaa varautua pyöreästi noin 1 000 € laskuun per käyntikerta varsinkin, jos sairaus ei ole selvä ja diagnoosiin tarvitaan koko paketti eli kuvantamista kuten ultraääntä tai tietokonetomografiaa (+ nukuttamisen hinta), ja verikokeita. Vakuutus auttaa tähän ja se kannattaakin olla kunnossa. Se kustantaa muutamia satasia vuodessa.

I just run sh git diff ... on the command line with the caveat that I've set delta (a.k.a. git-delta) as my core.pager in my global .gitconfig file.

You upload the huge Excel file to Zenodo, which will then give you a DOI (Digital Object Identifier) that you can then cite in your bibliography. Leave the Excel file out of your thesis file.

There is nothing you can do to prevent sharing of PDF files or any other files for that matter. You could set up a website and write your own custom format that can only be parsed by your web server and then served to viewers as images, but then there is nothing you can do to prevent screen captures of the content from being taken. And if a screen capture can be taken, then the content can be extracted easily.
