Hacker News 上怎么说

  • 编辑:发布说明见:https://tug.org/texlive/doc/texlive-en/texlive-en.html# 有一项经受住了时间考验的技术——Donald Knuth 设计得惊人优秀的 TeX,以及 Leslie Lamport 的 LaTeX。Plain TeX 对新手来说可能有点不太友好……

    EDIT: Release notes: https://tug.org/texlive/doc/texlive-en/texlive-en.html# One technology that has stood the test of time- amazingly well designed TeX by Donald Knuth and LaTeX by Leslie Lamport. Plain TeX can be a bit beginner unfriendly…

  • 我通读了高德纳(Donald Knuth)写的整本《TeX: The Program》(《Computers and Typesetting》Volume B)。

    I read the entire book "TeX: The Program" by Donald Knuth, Computers and Typesetting, Volume B.

  • 当然,它确实有点年头了,但《TeX: The Program》依然是一本引人入胜的读物,因为 Knuth 在代码阐述上倾注了非同寻常的心血,尤其是对于这种规模的程序而言。此外,TeX 在历经近 40 年后依然被广泛使用,……

    It's a bit old, of course, but TeX: The Program is still a fascinating read because of the exceptional attention that Knuth has paid to exposition, especially for a program that size. Besides, TeX is still being used after almost 40 years,…

  • Stockfish 国际象棋引擎:https://github.com/official-stockfish/Stockfish 我从阅读 TeX 的源代码(https://www.amazon.com/Computers-Typesetting-B-TeX-Program/d...)中学到了多得不可思议的知识,不过它的代码风格非常 1970 年代风。

    The Stockfish chess engine: https://github.com/official-stockfish/Stockfish I learned a ridiculous amount from reading the source code to TeX (https://www.amazon.com/Computers-Typesetting-B-TeX-Program/d...) but it is written in a very 1970s style.

  • 浏览器可用的内存有限,亚像素渲染也不现实。有个商业产品叫 'MathType',用 TeX 在网页上渲染漂亮的数学公式,但我不知道他们有没有 WebGL 版本。如果你读 Don Knuth 那本讲 TeX 的书,大概能琢磨出怎么让它跑起来。

    Memory available to the browser was limited, sub-pixel rendering was impractical. There is a commercial product 'MathType' that uses TeX to render beautiful mathematics on web pages but I don't know if they have a WebGL version or not. If you read Don Knuth's book on TeX you can probably figure out how to make it run.

  • 我不会把 TeX 说成“标准”,但要说它“封闭”也挺难的:TeX 可以说是历史上文档最完善的程序了!Knuth 是用他发明的“文学编程”技术写的,其中……

    I wouldn't describe TeX as a "standard", but it's pretty hard to argue that it's "closed": TeX is arguably the best documented program in history! Knuth wrote it using his novel "literate programming" technique in which the…
