I just wished there could be something easy to replace this equation editor, it's really smooth for people that are not really proficient with LaTeX

Microsoft wrote their own replacement and it's better-integrated into Office than the old editor was. Search for "insert equation" in the Office search box. The new one supports both the old editor's style of input and actual LaTeX inputs. Heed the dates on articles talking about it: TFA is from 2018 before they wrote the new editor.

There was an interesting paper on how the newer equation editor handles math using just Unicode math symbols: https://www.unicode.org/notes/tn28/UTN28-PlainTextMath-v3.1....

In PowerPoint, I am a happy user of IguanaTex [1].

There are also some other PlugIns like TeXsword. But I have not tested them. And newer MS Office versions seem to support Latex macros directly. [2]

How about Eric Lengyel's equation editor: https://radicalpie.com

There are also many suitable web versions such as https://editor.codecogs.com/

You can then download the image. The only thing I think they should add is the equation string as a comment to the images so you can upload and continue editing without a proprietary file format.


> the equation string as a comment to the images

Yes some diagramming tools do this when exporting to PNG, this is a great feature


if anyone ever reads about this comment, please start to think about how to fuzz your software in a fast way. You don't need to correct or patch every bug, you just need to find where the algorithm A, B, C doesn't perform well, or where you have an allocation of 2 MBs for a linked list that should have been half of it.

I'm not a daily user of jetbrains product, but please. If there's any engineering/developers, start to use afl/cargo fuzz or whatever your fuzzer is, and spot bottlenecks, issues. I started to write software because I was looking at the quality of the very first softwares that were being fuzzed and it opened me some doors.


cool idea


off topic question: why is there no source attached to this paper?


"The open source code will be published on https://github.com/stm32-hotspot/ for the final version of the paper."

-> paper is not final. And IIUC ST will be releasing the code at some point.


nope, I was meaning the TeX source for the paper

https://info.arxiv.org/help/faq/whytex.html


Maybe it wasn't written in Tex. The kerning does look a bit suspect.


Yup. Large companies have interesting rules sometimes.


I find this a bit disappointing. Why not publish it with the preprint. Now we have no way to establish the quality of the two solutions or whether it is even possible to improve one of the solutions. I wonder why the C variant could not implement a JSON parser without malloc and free, while the RUST variant could.


I dream of a world of stagit + issue creation written in Rust. End


Why would issue creation written in rust be any better?


I'm very sad to see some bugs catch by my fuzzer that was coded in three minutes of cargo-fuzz, disrupting UX. I filled some apple feedbacks that were fortunately fixed by some engineers, but I wonder what's happening under Q&A testing.


awesome, good to see some real content from pre-AI moment


interesting video I was seeing the other day: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FTFn4UZsA5U

I like this video too, Tony Chen explains the overview of Xbox security system.
