OH: Warum sollte man eine Tagung in Saarbrücken abhalten, wenn man das auch in Weimar machen kann.
Grüße aus dem Festsaal des Gothe Nationalmuseums in Weimar vom Start der #DANTE2024. Bin gespannt auf das Programm zu #TeXLaTeX, #TeX, #TeXConTeXt & Friends
Bei den #DANTE2024 sind ja immer auch der Friends-Teil, von TeX, LaTeX & Friends, gerne gesehen. @koppor nutzt für @jabref die Möglichkeit für einen Rückblick auf 20 Jahre #JabRef.
Nach wie vor finde ich es wahnsinnig spannend, dass der #Citavi Import in Jabref 1000-fach besser ist als der #BibTeX/#BibLaTeX export aus Citavi selbst.
Indexing a #BibTeX bibliography file for #LLM usage. It's not just fuzzy searching titles, but also produces similar-ish titles. Could be useful to re-discover half-remembered papers in a large collection.
@abcdw@goku12 For the past 20+ years I've maintained a bibliography using nothing but #Emacs#auctex & #bibtex mode on what's basically just a text (.bib) file. A short #elisp function also allows me to immediately open the document (say, pdf or djvu) corresponding to the entry, simply by entering F9 anywhere on the entry. This system has several advantages:
Emacs's regexp-search together with reftex-citation allow for incredibly powerful and flexible searches through the database
Any other interaction niceties more or less easily implementable through elisp code. For instance, I have a custom function that abbreviate a selected piece of text according to ISO 4 standard
It's basically just a text file, so in particular situations one can search or modify with any text editor
Automatically integrated with Emacs & AUCTeX when writing TeX files (in Emacs of course :) )
Of course it's a purely subjective choice, I'm not saying it's objectively better than any other. But worth considering and trying!
I started a small survey in the LinkedIn group "The R Project for Statistical Computing" about #RKWard. The results so far:
Turns out that 83 % don't know it and
circa 8 % use it.
There were 139 people who participated in the survey. Given that RKWard is among the oldest #rstats IDEs and GUIs [1], it is somewhat surprising. I suppose we should improve the advertising of our tool.
Friendly reminder (or in case you are not aware), I maintain a massive #BibTeX/#BibLaTeX file with #rendering-related references. It includes all the work I've ever cited in my own papers, all recent #SIGGRAPH, #EG, and #EGSR papers, and more (some 4000 and counting). I add to it regularly.
If you use #Overleaf, there is also an easy way to add it to your projects and keep it updated (explained in the GitHub repo readme). It is one of the first files I add to any new #LaTeX project.
Heh, I really like the principle of using :nixos: nix-shell as a shebang on non-#NixOS platforms. This script just launches #KBibTeX (the #TexLaTeX#BibTeX bibliography editor). Helpful in a synced :gitannex: #gitAnnex repo with multiple participants across different OSs.
In this case, the environment and programs (e.g. PDF viewer) installed in the OS stay accessible - a great advantage in comparison to container solutions like #Apptainer's for example.
