🇳🇱
Updated my resume. Any thoughts, feedback or info is always most welcome. Typos are inevitable when its this long....
@freemo That is a gorgeous formatting. Did you write it in LateX?
@worldsendless I try to do everything in latex yea. Thank you.
@freemo @worldsendless So, I'd like to do more things in LaTeX, but I've noticed LaTeX (well, Mathjax) is broken on Qoto, and every time Terence Tao posts LaTeX it blows up my home page with giant letters. I'm told this is a known problem. There is a known Qoto problems list somewhere? What is known about the problem, and what do you know and not know about what needs to be done to fix it?
I think latex is the only known problem that effects users and will be fixed soon.
@freemo @worldsendless The Markdown support is also spectacularly broken, as we documented in detail yesterday. I'm glad to hear you're on a path to getting Mathjax fixed! Let me know if I can do anything to help.
"Spectacularly"? I use it everyday. Only aspect I know that is broken is the codeblocks wrt new lines... what else am I missing?
@freemo @worldsendless Search on Qoto is also broken (finds no toot hits for the search "markdown", without quotes) but I was able to find my post on the matter chronologically by scrolling down to yesterday: https://qoto.org/@radehi/109385091125963094
This documents four or arguably three separate bugs in Markdown support, one of which is the one you mention. I've seen a fifth one as well that I can't remember right now, but finding three new bugs in the Markdown implementation while trying to find a workaround for the first one makes me think there are probably dozens.
So, there is a place to document these findings so they don't get lost, no?
thats not broken, thats intended. free text searches only allow you to search toots you were tagged in. The only time you can search toots you arent tagged in would be hashtags.
@freemo @worldsendless The documentation that pops up under the search box when it gets focus says, "Simple text returns toots you have written, favourited, boosted, or have been mentioned in, ..." and this is a toot that I wrote, yesterday, so either it should have been returned or the documentation under the search box shouldn't claim it will be returned. But that second option is obviously a lot worse, just easier.
Ahh that is interesting... the search functionality is unmodified from vanilla mastodon, so you will have to file a bug report there. We use their code.
@freemo @worldsendless Does it work for you, at least to the point of successfully doing a full-text search over toots you've been mentioned in?
@worldsendless @freemo Thanks! I wonder why I get results that are so much worse.
