LaTeX and the wonderful world of \looseness=-1, manual linebreaks and negative vspace
(but it’s still leagues ahead of word)
Probably end of the gold standard
Thank you for the positivity, kind internet stranger.
Haskell is nice. This code style… not so much
Ah yes, blue video mood
It is certainly not full any longer
Breaking: turing-complete system can simulate any turing machine
I switched to vscode a while ago. The remote development extension pack is great.
Note that this was an exaggeration of my experience with LaTeX, it’s not like I use these commands everywhere. I think it’s better to let LaTeX do it’s job. Nevertheless, looseness=-1 can help to cram a few words in a new line into the previous paragraph, which subjectively looks better sometimes and frees up some space. Negative vspace around figures or tables can also be used to make more space for text and avoid unwanted page breaks. Manual linebreaks can come in handy if you switch TeX engines (e.g. pdfTeX -> LuaTeX) and somehow things don’t look like they are supposed to look. You can do it right or you can add manual linebreaks here and there to get the same results.
