This is a super🧵about all my threads on #LaTeX.

Writing in #LaTeX is a great skill for anyone in STEM to be able to make beautiful documents with math in them. I've got a complete beginner to master series on YouTube/Twitter and I want to break it down in this thread. 1/
This my complete introduction to the basics of LaTeX for someone just starting out. Disclaimer: I used @overleaf in this video because I thought it was great editor for my students - after this video @overleaf sponsored all the rest of my LaTeX videos!

#ad Speaking of @overleaf, for the first time we joined up to run an actual promo for 10% off annual student or standard plans. Get it here:

Writing apps for PhD! - a 🧵

Looking for the perfect #notetaking system? Or writing #workflow?

After trying to integrate all my writing into one app, I couldn't choose one.
As researchers our writing needs are diverse & so here's my #writing system for anyone who needs! Image

Our systems can be as simple or as complex as our needs are. So the best system is the one that works for you!

Here are all the apps I use for my writing & why I chose them:

First Ponyplay hoof prototype from flexible material (latex like) and with latex sleeves.
Model is made by amazing: @garudaworkshop
Sleeve is done by: @latexvogue

I made mainly technical parts, like getting printer to work with filament and make best quality possible. ImageImageImageImage
There is also a team working on box art and hopefully that will be done soon.
I am waiting for two other latex variants, with zipper and with cuffs, and then I will publish prices and get to printing 24/7 untill all latex ponies have latex hooves.
Pricing what I think will be:
1) Pure hooves with sewing holes - 129 € including VAT + shipping
2) Pure hooves without sewing holes - 129 € including VAT + shipping
3) Hooves with latex sleeves - 179 € including VAT + shipping
4) Hooves with latex sleeves with zipper - ???
5) Hooves 4 + cuffs - ???

1/ Warum wird #Corona immer wieder unterschätzt?
Wie werden Querdenker Narrative unterstützt?

Hier ein Beispiel von @tagesschau.
Kontext #Bergamo 2020

Headline: „Es lag wohl nicht am Fußballspiel“

Viele denken sich – dann können wir die Stadien wieder voll öffnen. Image
2/ Der Artikel ist unter: tagesschau.de/ausland/italie…

Eingangs ein Zitat eines Fans:

„Bergamo hat 120.000 Einwohner. 40.000 sind zum Spiel gefahren. Das heißt, ein Drittel der Stadt war auf den Beinen. Es war schon unterwegs ein großes Fest.…“
3/ Die Beschreibung legt nahe das ein Virus hier optimale Chancen hat diverse – ansonsten nicht direkt verbundene – Teile der Bevölkerung zu erreichen.

Wie kommt man dann dennoch zur Aussage der Headline?

Hi all 👋 today I would like to talk about #CV tips. Did you know you can create your CV in #rstats? There are so many cool 📦 out there!
I personally use {vitae} with a good range of eye-catching templates to choose from, I highly recommend it!
What I like the most about building my CV in R is that I can organize everything in an R-project, I push to GitHub which gives me track changes and I can use the great advantages of #rmarkdown and #latex. Here is the repo of my #vitae CV github.com/loreabad6/R-CV
I had to modify a bit the .csl file to adapt certain details to my taste, and I included a 🗺️ of my journey which has had some nice feedback, as it serves as a visual presentation card 💃 A preview of my CV made with the vitae R package

@tohecz @agholdier @overleaf One reason why philosophers should use #TeXLaTeX is for logic, of course (if you’re that kind of philosopher).

& then, all the other reasons #LaTeX is great obviously 😊

I wanted to write a post myself at some point but also remember there were good ones out there already..
@tohecz @agholdier @overleaf Like: #TeXLaTeX for Philosophers (and other Humanitarians)

Stuff I wish I had known sooner: "Pinsker's inequality is cancelled," a thread. 🧵

If you want to relate total variation (TV) and Kullback-Leibler divergence (KL), then everyone, from textbooks to Google, will point you to Pinsker's inequality: TV(p,q) ≤ √(½ KL(p||q) )

1/
It's warranted: a great inequality, and tight in the regime where KL→0. Now, the issue is that KL is unbounded, while 0≤TV≤1 always, so the bound becomes vacuous when KL > 2. Oops.

2/

*I'm using it with the natural log, by the way, so no pesky log 2 constants.
This is annoying, because in many situations, you would want to bound a TV close to 1: for instance, in hypothesis testing: "how many samples to distinguish between an ε-biased and a fair coin, with probability 1-δ?"

Well, you'd like to start bounding 1-δ ≤ TV ≤ ?.

If you care about #Asia’s #rivers, or interested in its #paleoclimate, I have a data set for you: 813 years of annual discharge (streamflow) at 62 stations on 41 rivers in 16 countries, from 1200 to 2012. This thread explains how we created it, and all the data underlying it.
To estimate discharge hundreds of years ago, we need three things: (1) modern discharge observations, (2) a proxy of past climate, and (3) a model that links those two.
Most of our modern observations came from GSIM, a massive effort by Hong Do, @LukGudmundsson, Michael Leonard, and @sethwestra. Besides, we emailed everyone we knew asking for more data, and our colleagues kindly shared theirs.

Here's my #WFH arsenal for research in computational physics:
1. #Python (via @ProjectJupyter notebook)
2. #SublimeText (with plugins for #LaTeX, Markdown, C++)
3. Mac Terminal (for file management, navigation and SSH)
4. #Bash scripts (mostly using rsync, awk, grep)
@ProjectJupyter 5. @mendeley_com (for managing & highlighting refs.)
6. @obsdmd (newly found knowledge base)
7. @Sci_Hub (when I can't find papers on my college lib)
8. @powerpoint (for sharing progress)
9. @firefox (for everything else)

What's yours? #AcademicTwitter #AcademicChatter
Couple of tools I missed:
10. @inkscape (improving vector plots, creating schematics)
11. @Gimp (image editing)

All these tools are for analyzing and post-processing results from my arsenal of simulation tools (which deserve another thread)

1) @ProjectJupyter Extension of the Day: Spellchecker!

This #nbextension uses a @CodeMirror overlay mode to highlight incorrectly-spelled words in Markdown and Raw cells. The typo.js library does the actual spellchecking, and is included as a dependency.

…r-contrib-nbextensions.readthedocs.io/en/latest/nbex…
.@ProjectJupyter Extension of the Day #2: Codefolding!

This extension adds codefolding functionality from @CodeMirror to each code cell in your notebook. The folding status is saved in the cell metadata, so reloading a notebook restores the folded view.

…r-contrib-nbextensions.readthedocs.io/en/latest/nbex…
.@ProjectJupyter Extension of the Day #3: ExecuteTime!

This extension displays when the last execution of a code cell occurred and how long it took. The timing information is stored in the cell metadata, restored on notebook load, & can be togged on/off.
