@mcnees As a "side-channel" suggestion, have you looked into Typst? It aims to be a LaTeX replacement which is faster and easier to use, and it natively supports incremental compilation and watching source documents and so on. It doesn't have the benefit of LaTeX's huge library of packages, but for the basic stuff it seems pretty solid.

This may or may not be a practical thing for you depending on how much you're tied to specific LaTeX classes and packages.

@hosford42 @jsbarretto That's what I'm saying, I don't think so, at least not for most of them.

@jsbarretto That's true, but I bet there are also a lot of people who don't feel similarly and thus are not reacting to this post. Obviously I can only guess at the real numbers, but I would imagine that among programmers (or writers, organizers, etc) who have worked on #opensource projects, only a small fraction of them have had a meaningful impact on the world through those contributions.

Hmm this is interesting: when I open up #Twitter in a private #browser window, I'm already logged in, same as a non-private window. I've never seen any other site convey the session state from normal to private windows. What is Twitter doing differently? I smell a whiff of something sketchy 🤔
