Welcome to c/science_memes @ Mander.xyz!

A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.

Rules

  1. Don't throw mud. Behave like an intellectual and remember the human.
  2. Keep it rooted (on topic).
  3. No spam.
  4. Infographics welcome, get schooled.

This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.

And thesis.tex is basically just a preamble followed by input{chapters/chapter1} and all the other chapters.

No, a single super-document, easier to "back up" which is why in the same folder there are also "thesis_final.tex", "thesis_final_revised.tex", "thesis_final_revised_v2.tex", "thesis_final_revised_v2_final.tex"

Just use git... One of the huge advantages of latex over docx is its easy diffability

How about thesis.typ?

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 week ago

True.

It could have been a thesis.md

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 week ago

That is where it starts, not where it ends.

Id look like that if I was using Microsoft software, too.

Much prefer thetrans.docx

It's sis already :3

Try renaming it thesis_final-draft_v.6.9_final_FINAL.docx

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It gets better when you convert it to thesis.odt.

Not when your advisor converts it back to docx before sending you comments.
