Bartosz Milewski's 'Category Theory for Programmers' unofficial PDF and LaTeX source
IMO Bartosz Milewski gave a pretty good answer to the "why" question in the preface to his book:
> Second, there are many different kinds of math, and they appeal to different audiences. You might be allergic to calculus or algebra, but it doesn’t mean you won’t enjoy category theory. I would go as far as to argue that category theory is the kind of math that is particularly well suited for the minds of programmers. That’s because category theory — rather than dealing with particulars — deals with structure. It deals with the kind of structure that makes programs composable.
Composition is at the very root of category theory — it’s part of the definition of the category itself. And I will argue strongly that composition is the essence of programming. We’ve been composing things forever, long before some great engineer came up with the idea of a subroutine. Some time ago the principles of structured programming revolutionized programming because they made blocks of code composable. Then came object oriented programming, which is all about composing objects. Functional programming is not only about composing functions and algebraic data structures — it makes concurrency composable — something that’s virtually impossible with other programming paradigms.

And regarding:
> Anything that could be useful to you from CT can be explained in one afternoon over some coffee or beer.
Yes, you can go through the definitions, but you won't understand all of those concepts in one afternoon unless you're a savant.

One problem I ran into a long time ago (2021) is that MathML was not well supported in Chrome and other browsers, but seemed well supported in Firefox.
After trying many Pandoc options [1] I ended up selecting a very small implementation by Preet [2] which was some ~70kB [3] compared to other implementations at about 10x (i.e. MathJax [4]). I use it with the Polyfill to check if it is already supported. If you checkout the torture test, it really performs quite well [5].
In the future I still want to convert to SVG vectors (with bitmap backups) and include those instead, but I'm not yet pleased with the offerings. My concern with JS is that it seems to be on the way out, I think it will eventually go the way of Flash in favour of something else.
With the current solutions for rendering equations you either have this ridiculous wrapper around LaTeX or similar, or some other weirdness. If I get bored for a few days I might end up writing a parser to convert MathML to such outputs. It shouldn't take insane efforts to pass some torture tests.

I wonder what the origin of that template is, because it looks almost identical to mine, and I yoinked my template from somewhere back in 2012-2013. It says it's based on sb2nov/resume [0], but that only goes back to 2017. They must've based it on something as well.

Project mention: Zotero hacks: reliably setup unlimited storage for your personal academic library | dev.to | 2025-07-05
Download and install the two plugins we’ll need – Zotero Attanger4 (organizes the database of PDFs) and Better BibTeX (exports the collections of papers to .bib to later use with Quarto). The plugins for Zotero are .xpi archives. Direct link to just download the .xpi files: Zotero Attanger & Better BibTeX. To install the plugins open Zotero and click Tools --> Plugins. A separate window for Plugins manager will pop-up.

2- For writing: you can use https://github.com/lervag/vimtex for LaTeX
On top of these, you can use tmux with tmuxp to open projects instantly.
You can replicate such environment with Emacs using org mode and/or auctex.
No use for an added layer (web tech) for this, introducing more code to write and learn.

During last 1.5 weeks, I've been implementing second PR in JabRef project. Let me refresh your mind, in the last post I talked how I finished the issue in order to get a new one, there I've shared that I got assigned to another issue. In this post, I'm going to talk in details how I worked on the PR, and what challenges were encountered.
