Looking forward to

We use it in cuisines from India, particularly from Tamil nadu, as well. Lotus root, seeds, the petals, pretty much all.

Can you name (in Tamil, but written in English) and describe the dishes in which those lotus parts are used? Interested.

1. Thamarai Thandu Poriyal / Varuval (Stir-fried Lotus Stem): A popular dish where the lotus stem is peeled, sliced into coins, and stir-fried with coconut oil, mustard seeds, shallots, green chilies, curry leaves, and sometimes sambar powder or chili flakes.

2. Thamarai Thandu Uppukari (Lotus Stem Dry Curry): A preparation where the lotus stem is boiled with salt, then deep-fried or stir-fried until light golden brown to create a crispy side dish, often served with rasam rice.

3. Thamarai Kizhangu Vathal (Dried Lotus Root Crisps): A traditional, shelf-stable snack where the lotus stem is sliced, salted, and dried, then fried before consumption.

4. Lotus Petal Paruppu Usili (Steamed Lentil Crumble): A dish made by finely chopping tender inner lotus petals and mixing them with coarsely ground, steamed, and crumbled lentils (dal), similar to traditional Tamil Paruppu Usili.

5. Thamara Vadai (Lotus Stem Fritters): A traditional snack in South India that uses sliced lotus stem in a seasoned batter, similar to a vadai.

saw the reply a bit late, but thanks.

To save our children in the academia, we need a "Rewrite In Typst" movement, the equivalent of rewrite in rust!

If only they had stuck with latex maths syntax instead of inventing their own, I would have switched ages ago and encouraged others to do the same...

math without infernal backslashes is one of the reasons I love Typst

What’s the point of switching if you’re going to leave in the worst part?

maybe someone will write a package for latex math

It's called mitex: https://typst.app/universe/package/mitex

Does it support amsmath?

I think so, but I'm no expert in typesetting mathematics.

That's not exactly encouraging... My biggest gripe with typst is the various design choices which make writing maths much harder than LaTeX (and given many of the issues with LaTeX usability come from having to use poorly maintained legacy packages, not having basic functionality in the core of the replacement seems naive at best).

There’s a bit of resistance sadly. My supervisor is “forcing” me to use LaTeX for my MSc thesis sadly.

Nearly all academia uses MS-OFFICE instead of TeX insanity. Only hardcore phds use it really

I can relate to a lot of things said in the article, both practically and philosophical. Thanks for speaking to/for fellow hackers!

PS: Hackers websites don't have to look this ugly. We do take care of attention to detail that the page have to be rendered for mobile devices as well.

That's primarily not a website, but a hacker zine. That's just the format they come in for historical reasons, similar to RFCs.

I personally also don't love it, but fortunately, hackers have the technology to reflow legacy fixed-width text files to any format of their choosing :)

It was intentionally done as a parody, I reckon.

This talk by Scott Jenson is just fantastic and he explains some nuances and missed opportunities

The monospace font, LL Simple Console, used on this website is so cool. Seems like it is proprietary and cannot be used in other domains. See https://play.ertdfgcvb.xyz/css/simple_console.css

I'm surprised it's so little base64 to encode a font? Like, I would've thought it would be orders of magnitude more, lots of shapes per character etc.

Zulip does. It's as easy as discord, if not better!

I looked into Zulip a couple years ago and they didn't support this. Have they implemented OAuth2 or something since then? Specifically being able to log in once and be able to jump between any number of self hosted servers.

Sorry, I'm not sure. Please reach out to their dev team at https://chat.zulip.org

Not alone. We started with Matrix, but we are very happy with Zulip now.
