gkolleron Upgrading Homebrew and avoiding the "failed to verify attestation" error

MacPorts rocks. No ports breaking when upgrading MacOS as can (or could,not sure if that's still an issue) with Brew.

gkolleron NetworkX – Network Analysis in Python

I would be interested in one that is properly type annotated. None of the options here (NetworkX, igraph, cugraph) are.

gkolleron Easy to use OpenID Connect client and server library written for Go

If login/Single Sign On is what you are after you are arguably better off with Central Authentication Service (CAS). It is much simpler. Unfortunately it isn't as widely known or popular.

gkolleron Apple’s new Transformer-powered predictive text model

Typing on Android was perfect when Swype was still around. GBoard and SwiftKey were worse and seem to actually decline in accuracy till this day.

gkolleron Project Orion

Speaking of sci-fi, project orion/nuclear propulsion is also featured in Marko Kloos' Frontlines series (though not in the first book if I remember correctly)

> I once heard a professor talk about writing a book 30 or so years ago. He looked at all the available options and decided latex wasn't perfect, but was the best available. 20 years later he decided to look at everything again and was appalled that latex was still the best option he had.

Many many years ago I evaluated the available options as well to write internal documentation for the company I worked for. Looked at groff with the mom macro package. But eventually settled on Lout.

Lout worked very pleasantly (it has a nice markup language) but the output didn't look as beautiful as Latex. Unfortunately it doesn't seemed to be developed anymore.
