Halfway through I was sure that there would be a reveal at the end of the article that the article itself was stored in the site's favicon, thus explaining the short, terse sentences. I was genuinely disappointed when I realized it wasn't. Missed opportunity!

I'm in academia and used to use LaTeX for everything, and have switched almost 100% to typst. Not many of my colleagues are aware of typst but a few use it.

I think there is hope though. Grad students are slowly picking it up, and they are the future of academia. I've seen similar transitions away from Fortran and Matlab as grad students embrace different tools than what their advisors use.

So excited for the path type.

Referencing files somewhere in or below a document's root from a package has always been pretty convoluted. This should simplify setups like mine that depend on local custom packages.

Grammar note:

When used as a verb, it should be "set up," and when used as a noun, "setup."

Other examples (verb, noun):

log in, login

back up, backup

shut down, shutdown

break down, breakdown

warm up, warmup

> Bonds are no longer recommended. Current research indicates 100% equities to be the best composition leading up to, and past, retirement.

Are you referring to Anarkulova et al? Might be worth mentioning that the fixed income part is replaced with international equity, not more domestic equity.

I'm sure they do, but data about the speeds of other ISPs is also valuable.

Lots of confusion and misunderstanding in these comments. Not surprising, given the highly charged nature of the subject. I highly recommend Ray Madoff's book The Second Estate [1] to learn more about the topic.

How do you propose we measure a person's wealth, when wealth is easily hidden? When it needs to be done now, it is usually a years long audit.

Looks terrific! I have a suggestion as you continue to add features and think about scripting. sc-im has lua external functions, but you cannot pass a range of cells, only the value of one cell. This severely limits the usefulness of external lua scripts. If/when you add scripting, hopefully you can overcome this limitation. If so, you'll have at least one more user!

> Most shoes have carbon plates in them now, they act as a spring, storing energy and propelling athletes forwards.

This seems unlikely to be true, although it is repeated in every article I read about carbon plated shoes. The people that study them in a lab environment seem to disagree. See some of the papers here:

However, I agree wholeheartedly with the overall points in your post!

> - Late payment shall incur interest at 8% above the BoE base rate and a late fee of 100 GBP as per the UK Late Payment Legislation. Partial payments on invoices shall apply to late fees, interest, and then principal, in that order.

Do you mean 8 percent, or 8 percentage points?

I'm really hoping Apple backtracks on its refusal to update the 18.x line for phones that are compatible with 26. At least provide a security update.

Every photographer with expensive equipment that I know has insurance for their equipment. Sometimes it is included with homeowner, sometimes a separate rider, and sometimes part of their commercial insurance. So it would be covered.

However, that wouldn't help OP if they needed the lens for their trip, suddenly need to find another one, and needed to float the cash until insurance pays out.

> Up to a point, there's an easily distinguishable sound and detail difference between cheaper and more expensive gear, given that you don't cheat (i.e. put cheaper gear in expensive enclosure), but that difference indistinguishable well before these "true audiophile" level stuff.

I don't understand how that is cheating. Isn't it a better controlled experiment if the equipment looks the same?

Is that even possible? Someone has to pay for it. If I'm rich and I get $40,000 a year from UBI, but my direct or indirect taxes go up by $60,000 in order to fund the program, am I really receiving UBI? At some point UBI has to involve transfers between income or wealth levels. The particulars of how the program is funded determines how progressive or regressive the policy is in net.
