For anyone doing HPC work and hasn't tried GFortran >=10, I highly suggest giving it a go. We switched to it for the arm64 improvements, but surprisingly also found a 20% speedup on the x86-64 target. My best guess is that it's

You can allow IAM roles in your account (which simply just has the permissions defined, with no keys or other credentials associated) to be assumed by identities in another account. Vantage would then be responsible for securing credentials

The more I think about it, the more I believe Benford's Law can be violated too easily within more urban areas, especially when precinct sizes are artificially limited to a fixed size (500~1000 people) without geographically-induced tr

Hi Martin! Thanks for dropping by. > I personally don't think that a fork is viable, things are already hard enough as it is. I don't think so either. Scholdoc as a fork was always intended to be a stop-gap measure to quickly t

Thanks for the heads-up. I'm going to bug our admin again to upgrade.

I think a good way to build this into SM is to run an existing document thorough latex and looking at the aux file. This approach would be faster and almost certainly more robust, similar to how most latex build scripts look at the fls reco

I really want to address the math support, because I work with a lot of mathematicians, and one of my main goals is to support most of the latex AMS math features we're used to (as much as MathJax can support outputting on the HTML s

I've just updated the website to include a link to a repo where I am putting all the examples I have permission to share. https://github.com/timtylin/scholdoc-examples More will be added as I tweak the syntax. My

As a thought exercise, assuming for simplicity that you can isolate the parts you're authoring, so that your changes only involve additions to other people's work: what kind of additional metainfo would you need for this workflow

I've actually been wondering if this is possible from a theoretical standpoint. I'm thinking you can use Pandoc's LaTeX to MD conversion mode, save changes to a copy, wdiff to get the total change set, then somehow convert th

The goal is eventually to be able to, like what Authorea is trying to do now, just "slap on" various LaTeX style templates during final rendering (similar to how static blog engines format plain md posts using templates). It'

Well, I did not realize Github has had AsciiDoctor integration for two years now (I've been doing most of my scientific work in GitLab during that time). I retract that comment and regret the error. Hopefully they add it to Github page

This was basically my original approach. However, after working out the math syntax I realized that some things, like the double-backtick inline math, just can't be accomplished without a pre -filter. At that point I decided to just s

I love AsciiBook. Everything but the name. If we ever get an amazing collaborative development tool like Github that has built-in AsciiBook rendering, this project would have been called "Scholarly AsciiBook (but we got Unicode support

Yep, that's the idea. Published work today should be able to take advantage of modern screens and its ability to resize, reflow, and animate.
