How wordfags can even compete?

>>61154452
They can't.

>>61154452
Every time you make one of these 'even compete' threads you put 'can' in the wrong place.

>>61154452
They dont and wont

There is any good guide for learn latex?

Too lazy for google it

>>61154543

ShareLatex Docs is pretty good.

That's how electrons actually flow. And it's not voltage, it's potential difference.

>>61154855
it's not only unconventional, it isn't even used consistently. also the current arrows are wrong if you want to use electron flow direction

>>61154543
You could check your local university's Maths department to see if the teach a course. You may be able to sit in on the class with no one noticing if there's a large enough class size.

>>61154940
Actual current flow direction is irrelevant.
The potential can be positive and negative, but without indication of how they should be considered, there can be confusion to how it should be calculated.
The circuits were from their first written assignment and the task was about how they can use superposition to calculate fig. 1 by calculating fig 2 a/b.
I didn't make the assignment though, I just wrote the latex guide.
I will correct it for future reference

No need to worry about merge conflicts.

not really an issue for documents.
I have done this a lot of times and every time there has been a conflict, it was easily resolved and I have always been glad that I resolved it over some automated guesswork.

This video will explain why Latex is really not hard and is a lot more powerful than Word. It is the first of 11 videos on learning Latex

I prefer LaTeX as well and have written many papers during uni. I've even created my resume and business cards with it. But sadly no-one you will commercially work with, either internally or externally, will put up with it. M$ Office is still the preferred choice of most, because most don't (care to) know to with anything else.

>>61154452
Hmmm a 'word processor' named after a material favoured by homosexuals.
Really makes you think

>large enough class size
>class involving writing in LaTeX

I don't know if such a class exists. But I bet most math professors wouldn't give a shit if you didn't disturb anybody.

>>61154543
The best way to learn Latex is NOT to try and learn all the keywords and type it out by hand but rather use a graphical editor where you just press buttons on a toolbar that will output the syntax for you. This is a tutorial that uses Texmaker which is a good free and open source wysiwyg Latex editor:

I think you missed the point of the picture as a whole anon. The figures may be wrong and completely nonsensical, but they're there to demonstrate that generating such figures using raw text is possible, and show how they're generated in the raw .tex file.

>>61161935
wtf, you can make circuit diagrams with latex?

How far do latex graphics capabilities go?

>>61162017
Pretty much anything is possible through the various latex graphics libraries. Go check out tikz, I think that's what the other anon used to create those figures, or atleast it should be possble to generate such figures using tikz.

>>61160913
Ty ill give it a try ;)

W-wait, is it not pronounced "lay-tecks"

oh god

>>61162192
Can you do a vocaroo for us then? Thanks.

>>61163111
It's "lah-tek."

>>61164034
That doesn't make sense at all. There's an X. It has to be pronounced one of two ways:

Lay-tecks
Law-tay-ecks - If we go by the caps.

Putting an X there and pronouncing it like a K not only makes no sense, it makes the designers look like a bunch of hipsters that can't breathe through all the pompous shit they fill their own air space with.

>>61164834
Plenty of languages pronounce the letter "x" as a "k", in this case it comes from Greek. In IPA notation "x" is also a "k".

There's plenty of illogical spelling in English. In English, the letter "x" is completely superfluous anyway.

LaTeX was written in the 80's. Maybe the devs were hipsters but they had a lot of influence nonetheless.

Next time you try to be autistic, please do it thoroughly.

>>61164997
Nobody's going to use their pronunciation but you anyway. Get used to it.

Oh, and giff.

>>61154770
>no such thing as negative voltage

>>61165543
Everyone in acedemia says "lay-tec". So 95% of LaTeX users say "lay-tec"

>>61165543
anybody who is not a moron says "lay-tech' or 'lah-tech'

only a jackass would say latex as in fetish apparel

>>61154452
I wouldn't work with anyone who uses this shit. Insufferable arrogant autists.

>>61154452
I intentionally call this "lay-teks" cause it helps me identify autistic people.

>>61168620
That reminded me, while looking for papers from 1980 I noticed that files that ended with .doc were actually plain text files.

Latex = "I never had a job outside of school"

Nobody uses your autism shit in real life, where getting shit done is priority.

>>61168635
Microsoft didn't invent the unholy mess that is the OOXML standard until the late 90s

>>61168663
> where getting shit done is priority
While it's true that Word is used more than LaTeX, that is because it's easier to learn for a newbie. But if we are talking about getting shit done, LaTeX wins.
I don't know anymore how many times I've sworn using Word. I admit it, I've lost it a few times even with LaTeX, but it's not even comparable to how much irritating Word is.

>>61157146
You can use both, write in DocBook and use pandoc + LaTeX for rendering, if you want the style of LaTeX document classes without touching XSLT. In my case, I've been working with another XML-based documentation format, S1000D, which doesn't have a lot in the way of freely available stylesheets or tools, so converting to DocBook first to use pandoc has been very helpful.

>>61168663
This.

>how do wordfags compete?
They don't feel they need to as they are actually making money.

>>61154452
They don't need a degree to make a document.

On the other hand, they'll never get a degree.

>>61161138
Where I am you could turn up to any lecture and they wouldn't care

>>61169627
lolnope.

Newbies getting shit done: Word
Pros getting shit done: Word+VBA

I have never worked in an office, but given I currently work for a university, sure.

As for the autism, writing documents in latex is easier once you have learned how.
Learning how is very easy (if you speak english). The hard part is accepting that some parts better to be controlled by software than by the author and layout should only be dealt with when the content of the document is known.

>>61168663
LaTeX is used in academia, research, publication, etc.
Word is used is wagecuckery office slave jobs and the like.
What you really meant to say was "Latex = 'I never had a job that paid less than 60k/yr' "

It doesnt. Excel is used by plebs with business degrees. (((quants))) use python.

>How wordfags can even compete?
Well Sven, word is a wysiwyg editor whose format is the de facto standard for business.

LaTeX is comparatively niche, requires marking up a plaintext file to generate an output with is often subtly wrong due to reasons hidden in its hoary internals, and is mainly used for technical documents.

So... that's how they even compete can.

>>61172742
Haha keep dreaming grantcuck, I've seen contracts literally in the multi millions (reinsurance) written up in fucking word.

>>61168670
Thing is, people were using plain text .doc files for ages before MS created the binary DOC format.

>>61173754
>insurance
Yeah, officecuck work. YOU will never see that kind of money using Word.
