I believe this functionality is provided by SyncTeX. I'm sure it can be used in other editors, but it can be accessed from the right click menu in TeXstudio.

After reading your comment I found a report on the relative safety of public transport and individual cars [1]. It concludes that in the USA there are up to 60x fewer fatalities per billion passenger miles on public transport (20x for commu

You are right! I had read it as 65MB/s, not 65Mbits/s. Thank you.

I take your point, but for reference at 65MbPs you could transfer 10Gb in under 3 minutes. I would imagine that's more than sufficient for the majority of people.

Is this really an issue for the use case being described? Environment management is obviously a significant consideration for software developers who need to keep track of versions etc, but it sounds as if these users primarily want to use

You've portrayed amp as a positive change and basing search ranking on page load times as a negative change, while clearly some websites would be "downranked" with either system. One could just as well portray "downranki

This depends on the circumstances. If your personal photos are unaccessible then maybe it doesn't matter, but if it's your documentation for a mission critical bit of infrastructure then a few hours could be very significant. Some

Usually a reference indicates that an author believes something to be true, but won't explicitly state their reasons. It isn't just a statement of where information comes from, but a justification for trusting that information. If

To me, the primary benefit of CDs over tapes was the ability to skip between songs easily and not having to rewind, it wasnt about quality (for me). The operation of a digital radio and an FM radio are very similar, especially once you&#x27

It isn't either-or though. Yes, we should do whatever we can do right now, but we should also be looking for ways we can do better in 50 years time.

While I agree, I'm not sure the funding for many of these problems should come from the budget of fundamental physics.

As a counter point, the gravitational wave discovery came about because of incremental upgrades to the detector. We don't know whats beyond that noise floor. Maybe there are better ways to measure the tiny signals that hint at new phys

This sounds reasonable, but we don't have the knowledge to be able to make a targeted experiment now, nor do we know whether we'll gain that knowledge within the next 100+ years. If we just stop, then we might not have the infrast

The top energy of the accelerator might not be a good judge of how practical its technology will turn out to be. The maximum center-of-mass energy of CLIC is 3 TeV [1], far in excess of what would currently be considered practical. Neverthe

> If there is new physics to study let us keep the experiment going as is to study that for a generation or two. The LHC was built between 1998 and 2008, but its design started in the 1980's. Many of the people who worked on the LHC

That by itself doesn't count for much in this context. Web based technologies tend to move quickly while scientists are almost all using math libraries that were written in the 60/ 70's. To scientists these things are just to

I don't think this could work for a few reasons. 1. Blogs aren't peer reviewed. Anything that is going to be referenced later needs to be reviewed by other people. 2. It is easy to change the content of a blog after the initial pu

Correct me if I am wrong, but https://riot.im/ seems to fit the description of a decentralised and federated team chat app.

This is my understanding as well. However even this requires you to have various google-parts installed on your phone. These can be fairly obtrusive with permissions and such.
