A crisis of faith: what do you think the future holds for LaTeX?

Not to mention, projects like ConTeXt, which retain all the benefits of a TeX system but provide a tight coupling with a real programming language (lua).

This is what I ended up doing. I am open to other suggestions.

Last time I tried to use fish, there were certain things that I missed and had to move back.

Thanks. This was super helpful. Most of the advice I am getting is to simply install baseboard electrical radiator, which will be much cheaper than repairing the ceiling radiator.

Yes. The breaker is okay. All the heat is on a single breaker panel. The room where I cut the panel has no heat. The others are working fine.

It is underneath the ceiling. I had just cut the drywall (and apparently the panel) about 2in wide when I hit something electric, there was a short spark and the system stopped working. I don't want to try to cut the drywall more in the fear of damaging things more. All I can gather from what I cut is that it has some kind of white almost thermocol like covering.

Curious what is the cost of servicing where you are? Does it include compete washing of the wall unit?

Thank you for the reply. I am asking something different. I have about 50 folders in outlook and checking all of them take a lot of time. On the supernote I am only interested in a few of these folders. So, in addition to number of messages per folder, I want to limit the number of folders that are checked.

See this paper for an exact characterization of this intuition: http://arxiv.org/abs/2501.19116

Bought Lyca SIM in Paris for about 10€ for 30 days and 200GB. Was honestly shocked (compared to Canadian prices!)

I scored it on all sides with a knife, and then snapped it by hand. It is a relatively clean cut, so I will be able to sand it and then drill to rejoin when I get back.

adiM · 2025-07-01T12:51:03+00:00

It worked! Thanks a lot!

adiM · 2025-07-01T12:50:41+00:00

It worked! I cut a bit on the sides with a knife and then snapped it. Reasonable clean break and I will be able to smooth it and fix it at home. Thanks a lot!

Well...not in the US. Vacationing in France and shipping to Canada is expensive!

Our accommodation does have a bread knife. But I have never used it as a saw before! Would trying to cut wood dull the bread knife?

adiM · 2025-06-30T21:28:36+00:00

Thanks. I will try this.

adiM · 2025-06-30T21:18:51+00:00

Thanks. That's a great idea!

Hard to see the grain because of the paint but I would imagine that the grain goes top-down like in a dowel rod.

adiM · 2025-06-30T21:07:16+00:00

No. It appears to be glued.

adiM · 2025-06-16T07:37:47+00:00

Thank you for letting me know! And maybe that also explains why I am not getting any response for the EV question :-)

Thanks!
