The catch is ads. All joking aside, does anyone else get an interesting sub-set of ads from this site? It seems Google is struggling to determine how to relate the model with relevant keywords. I see Ford(-$), GMC(-$), Cooking Show(-$), Education Program($$$), and Insurance ($$).

I expected New Relic, Databases, Network Security, etc.

Back on topic, great site. Also ranking well in Google! I've come across it a few times through search traffic and HN. While I have no interest in LaTeX, it is interesting to see the results. My TeX days ended when my DS and Algo classes both decided to use it for the bi-weekly homeworks. 60 minutes for homework, 9 hours in TeX.



Normally, this would be 60 minutes for homework, five minutes in TeX, eight hours, fifty-five minutes trying to get that effing figure in the right place.

Of course, it never helps that the 8:55 is usually after midnight.

If your department required TeX, they should have had a template as well.


The ads I used to see (before I started blocking) when I would search for LaTeX stuff were generally related to paint or rubber products... some NSFW.


"60 minutes for homework, 9 hours in TeX."

... 20 hours using microsoft word and the equation editor.

I'm surprised your classes didn't let you submit handwritten assignments.


Yeah, I TeX'd homework for a semester once. It was nice that I could promptly lose it after turning it in, but it took way too much time.
