Can you use AI tools to covert Typst to Latex? That would remove the acceptance issue.


> v: 3 4 /a vector, i.e. a list of 2 atoms.

> v+'v /v plus EACH v, i.e. (3+3;4+4).

> 6 8

How is for EACH working here? Adding v (a 2-vector) to each element gives a 2-vector, so why isn't the result a 2-vector of 2-vectors?


It applies element-wise across both arrays. What you're describing is more like an each-right (+/:) or each-left (+\:).

Indeed, that was my confusion, thanks!


I can also tell from my own experience that an average doctor in Thailand's backwater is better than in the capital of Ireland.


> Health care in Vietnam is not too bad, at least for the price.

Let us see...

My partner got what looked liked food poisoning when we arrived to Hue. Local hospital refused to take us, sent to a special hospital "for foreigners". She was put on a bed and kept waiting in pain for hours. The doctor didn't bother to do anything for her for hours, despite not too many other patients. We felt hungry, yet they refused to let us go. After several hours waiting and feeling more stomach pain from hunger, I said, we absolutely have to go and eat something. Yet the doctor told us to keep waiting, refusing to let us go. I started looking around for food and found a cafeteria on premises that was luckily still open (it was already late). After a verbal fight with the doctor, he finally allowed us to go to eat in that cafeteria. It was already late and dark and I had told the doctor, we would be leaving now unless he does something. After more verbal fights and repeated insistence, the doctor wrote a quick prescription without even checking and sent us to pay about USD 100! However, by the time he gave it to us, the hospital pharmacy was already closed. And no other pharmacy on the street would have that medicine. So we came back around midnight, with no medicine, wasted many hours, spent USD 100 on nothing.

Would I call it "not too bad"? Well, if it was any more serious, we would have to fear for our lives is all I can say.


Poor your friend with such awful experience.

I'm a native VNmese in HCMCity. My wife is a doctor, we also have lots of friends/relatives working as doctors, pharmacists,... so I hope my sharing is not quite irrelevant.

In VN, you can get medical service with the same quality as US, if you know the right place to go. Sometimes you can find doctors with excellent proficiency, since VN is a good evironment for doctors to practice their skill and knowledge (rare cases, severe cases due to bad sanitary & healthcare mindset).

But again, the biggest challenge is that "right place". Not all great doctors work in the biggest hospitals, and not all well-known doctors are great.


I'm sorry to hear that. It seems that we are still not used to deal with foreigners yet, especially outside HN/SG.

> Local hospital refused to take us, sent to a special hospital "for foreigners".

This was the red light, Hue central hospital is actually very good (I have been there myself). It would be better if you had a local to guide you, maybe I should develop a website to help expats in Vietnam... Still what was the name of that hospital 'for foreigner' you mentioned?


I have just tried it in REPL and got this cryptic error:

    cljs.user=> (defmacro swap [x] (list (second x) (first x) (last x)))
    #'cljs.user/swap
    cljs.user=> (swap (1 + 2))
    Execution error (Error) at (<cljs repl>:1).
    1.call is not a function


Is there a way to simplify the `swap` function? E.g. in JavaScript it is just

    swap = (x,y,...rest) => [y,x,...rest]

Any chance to change the green on black to something more accessible on the eyes?


It is waiting list, not a product.


Ha, sounds familiar. :)

I wonder for how long we'll be able to use Gmail before it follows the G+ road.


I've basically given up on Google and their corporate ADHD. I use Android because it's the only phone OS that allows for easy permanent sideloading while also having a healthy native app ecosystem, and I'll use search and maps, but that's literally (not figuratively, but literally) it. It seems that the only products of theirs with any staying power were launched prior to 2010.


But search and maps are a lot of Google. Beyond that it’s YouTube, Gmail, Google docs, Google Cloud. Along with Android, Chrome, ChromeOS as the cornerstones of the company. Search is by far the most important piece. Followed by Android and Chrome, in my opinion.

Or are you saying you aren’t going to use anything new by them? That is probably the case and I misunderstood. Though it’s not like Google has any major hits this decade anyway. Everything mentioned is quite old.


>Or are you saying you aren’t going to use anything new by them? That is probably the case and I misunderstood.

Basically, yes. I don't even make the effort to log in to use any of their services, except for the Google account on my phone for the purposes of Play Store access. I'm just tired of being Charlie Brown trying to kick Google-Lucy's exciting-new-product-football.


You'll need to stop receiving purchase recepits and flight details by email before Google is not interested in reading you email :)
