​I am a violinist, but I play guitar for fun.

BartholomewJS
​@Celtic Orthodox Prayer Do you just turn around your violin to play it like a guitar?

Celtic Orthodox Prayer
​@BartholomewJS No. I play firngerstyle guitar on a guitar.

​xah what are your thought on vim and its input modes? vim's extensibility?

Celtic Orthodox Prayer
​Concerning the idiocy of TEX, etc., do you feel the same about Troff/Groff, or are these programs utilitarian and useful?

​I use Linux, vim, LaTeX, I like typography and ligatures.... so I guess I'm not the target audience for this, lol I still watch, though haha

​Issue is tex/latex is free, while wolfram technology costs money to use. Also quality of pdf output of latex is high n used throughout academia. Can achieve the same quality with wolfram technology?

Niccolò Felicani
​@amphitheres I agree , here in italy latex is very requested for bachelor's thesis

Niccolò Felicani
​thank you Xah Lee, i am 22 i guess I am young

happy friend
​bsd>linux

​Xah AMS and math community is not against paying money. Maple for example costs money, widely used throughout academia, more than sagemath which is free.
