Scary, literally, to me.

Our (astronomy) scientific publishing workflows are all LaTeX based, bc no other format will properly encode formulae and properly place figures automatically. But that of course is a very specific use case - however that makes it again very easy for publishers since they get near print-ready manuscripts.

@cstross @irina @davidtheeviloverlord

I would never even consider using Word for such a task. Whenever I had to use it then this resulted in major frustration. Since ~1991.

We're successfully using Overleaf and Latex for all science publications here and that includes many tracked changes, comments and typically 10k to 50k words. But it's not word-compatible and resides online...

@slothrop

Ich glaube, die DB hat schlichtweg vergessen was ihr Kerngeschäft ist.

@Mr_GHARice @GreenSkyOverMe

Aber sie krabbelte - 8° ist ja nicht viel kälter als draußen. Und dann durfte sie ins Freie - und ich den Brokkoli putzen.

@Mr_GHARice @GreenSkyOverMe

Kenn ich. Eine verfrorene grüne Raupe im Brokkoli - nach einer Woche im Kühlschrank.

Nein, dem Unternehmen #Lilium ist nicht das Geld ausgegangen, weil es keine Staatshilfen gab, sondern weil sie ein nicht und niemals wie angekündigt funktionierendes bullshit-Produkt haben und der Markt da keine Zukunftsaussichten sah.

TV on flash flooding in Georgia following #hurricane #Helena (brough to you by #ExxonMobile): "There will be questions as to whether the city or someone else could prevent this water in these regions in the future..."

How about stop using #FossilFuels. Because that's at the root of increased water load and strength of storms in that region.

Everything is wrong about this: from the completely misleading headline to the tech description in the article, to not mentioning where the energy is supposed to come from to the hype-y scaling of a not-yet-existing test plant to a huge commercial enterprise.

Everything is overblown, misleading or plain wrong.

#Heidelberg: so sieht der #Neckar aus, wenn er 5x so viel Wasser transportiert als normal.

@darnell

That "truck" is a joke, and always has been. Everyone knows it but the people who bought it. There is no image to be salvaged.

We always wanted to coax a bunch of Danish astronomer colleagues to write a joint paper. It could have been at least 6 Andersens, some even with the same initials...

I have so many people around me that totally understand that there is troubling climate change. Then fly to the Canary Islands, Thailand, or the US for 1-2 weeks vacation. Every year.

@Gargron @kennykravitz

I had my grandfather's 35mm Leica refurbished, but never went out again for b/w photography. Needs exposure meter, development, etc. Digital is just soooo convenient 😞

@Gargron

How much would a single photo cost in terms of negatives and development? On top of the camera.
