EmilJ: shuddering when i see Moddle as first one

well, it says 'in Education' so the background is different

what's wrong with Moodle?

for example TeX or at least LaTeX and LyX

LyX?

I did not, but you still write LaTeX in LyX, right

you 'produce' LaTeX but you write text

oh, okay. It still seems like the rest of the tools are much more... UX-first

I have done LaTeX in VSCode and it is very comfortable for me, however, it is unavoidably, intensely, still LaTeX, with all the horror of LaTeX

I was working with a template. Still went through tons of frustration

I am not too used to Word, I am used to constantly googling small things

I agree

EmilJ: not always true, but the problem is to convince managers which are far too long in the company and brake the progress

ultimately, things that fully abstract their backends are the only way of doing things, and LyX seems to be an advanced attempt at that, so I'm not against LyX

what do you mean?

my favourite case is the long, long period which it takes to acquire a commercial tool, where the order is residing in the finance department for months, till it's finally sent over to the supplier

good evening, I am back!

it is certainly not easy to use and has a lot of pitfalls

that's what tools like LyX are for

waiting a couple of seconds to reposition an image is somewhat wired i guess

well that is a thing i see different ;)

never is reeeally rare ;)

I think the worst is doing tikz images, waiting for >10 seconds for simple tweaks can be quite frustrating

Well the computer doesn't make a huge difference ime

that was my next question, if it uses incremental updates, haven't used it for a while, so doesn't remember if the editors are responsible for caching or not

when the drawing is external

But that doesn't help while you are creating the image

ok, maybe a shortcoming in tikz itself

Well images might not be what tex was imagined for, doing arbitrary precision arithmetic and more won't help with performance

probably depends on requirements, sometimes doing an SVG in inkscape is already enough, but sometimes much more complex things have to be done

Yeah inkscape is what i started with, but tikz looks better and is easier to use (atlast for me)

a bit yes

anything interesting discovered ?

so thats interesting

very nice

so i guess axiom can be used as a webcam?

ah :)

xthenode: In theory yes, in practice the gateware / software is not polished for that yet, but we did get some basic streaming over usb working recently, which should make it possible to create a userspace v4l2 device

im using it to test gl performance

the current all gl remote client does not seem to be resizable...
