I would use pandoc and convert to pdf using typst: ``` pandoc input.html -t typst -o output.typ typst compile output.typ output.pdf ```

I totally agree. I have written in LaTeX extensively and Typst is a game changer and a life saver. The community is also a plus. I love it and I will never go back to TeX.

Great news!! Shiny for Python 1.0 is now available! As an enthusiast, I've been eagerly anticipating this release. Congratulations to the Posit team, who, with Quarto, Shiny, and so many other open-source projects, are bringing superpo

What is the encoding of the text file? UTF8, windows-1252? What is the decimal delimiter “.”, “,”? Most csv users don’t even know they have to be aware of all of these differences.

Animator was the name of the first animation software I used in 94.

Interesting to see ObservableHQ making strides towards dashboards, similar to what Quarto and Evidence are doing. Observable Notebooks reactivity feels intuitive, much like spreadsheets, but the lack of self-hosting options is no-go Drawbac

The latest version has Typst support and allow producing pdf files much faster than any LateX distribution. Even with a complex template it compiles almost instantly and you can see the final pdf changing while you are typing.

Is the default template not small and fast enough for you? It generates html in a folder and afaik it the file is self-contained, i.e. it includes in the html all 200-ish lines of js it uses, no external dependencies.

Oh gosh. You didn’t get the joke. It is a reference to Monty Python.

Interesting. I hated it. I usually like Lex Friedman’s interviews even (or even more when) I disagree with the interviewee. I agreed a bunch with Holtz but I could not build empathy. I tried, but for me he is too childish despite his undeni

Open-cv would benefit tremendously by migrating to mojo.

I can’t wait to see fast.ai-next in mojo :-)

He is not directly doing this. He is using Forefront.ai that offer GPT4 for free in their service. So, the guy is ripping off some VC money, not directly OpenAI's. The question remaining is what is Forefront.ai business model?

It is almost impossible to explain his role in Brazilian culture. All great Brazilian writers of the 20th century adored him. Musics about his goals. Expressions we use to this day( like “ gol de placa”). He was also very conscious in sepa

+1 here. I have already seen some videos with people toying with surrealdb and it looks amazing. But I need a offline-first (local-first) solution. Recently, TinyDB was posted here at HN. I also heard of InstantDB (react only).
