Hey, I also made one of these: https://touchtype.page

A bit annoyed I picked Moby Dick to try it out, that thing is looong.

There’s the mod homm3 succession wars that kinda do this. They recreate homm2 in the engine of 3, and thus also bring in a lot of the gameplay/qol improvements from 3 like the magic system and more tiers of creatures

Thanks! I vaguely remembered getting a bit of mixed messages with regards to the two last year when I was looking into Tectonic. I just read a bit into the github issues and it seems like the Tectonic devs happened to fork Xelatex and not Lualatex. https://github.com/tectonic-typesetting/tectonic/issues/158#...

Anyway, what they made works perfectly for me, I luckily don't use any of the fancy graphics packages that use Lua. I use Latex a few times a year at most, and Tectonic just works for me. With my previous Lualatex workflow I had to deal with Tlmgr and that whole ant's nest, figuring out one by one which packages I was missing each recompile.

Seems like the main argument against Xetex in the article you linked is that it is unmaintainted, so it doesn't really apply to Tectonic, but it's a bit frustrating that an opportunity for ecosystem convergence potentially has been missed.

Honest question: why do you prefer lualatex to xetex?

Great post! Is the GitHub project also still available?

Same. Another amazing one I played in those days was zatacka / achtung die kurwe. So funny how we were able to pack 5 people on one laptop keyboard back in those days.

Yeah once they implement the proposal to add types we will

Wouldn't the attacker need to breach your git server first before that was leaked?

I had Rosetta well before I ran into these issues, I think Homebrew still required it when I got the computer.

Before I figured out the way to identify the offending dependencies I sorted the issue through signing the executable with codesign, in a way that required me to disable part of SIP. So the code was working, it was just not being allowed to run.

I've been having issues with non-cask Homebrew packages getting blocked by some Gatekeeper/SIP related watchdog on my new M1 system. Stuff would just get insta-killed at load. Anyway, it seems to have been sorted now, and through identifying which packages were having the issue in Console and reinstalling them, I've resolved the issues.
