Typst 0.14 9 months ago

We used GitHub/Azure markdown plus Mermaid plus MathJax for financial model documentation. Beyond a certain complexity this really hurts.

Now we use typst, both playground (which does not call home, so no document exfiltration) or the compiler. The compiler is super easy to install, as we already have the Rust build chain installed. Compared to Tex, the 40 odd years newer design of typst makes all the difference.

With any new DateTime object in any language I usually look at its persistent fields to judge what the memory and access characteristics are.

In case of Temporal it looks like that Chrome goes the JavaScript Date way as it only holds the timestamp:

extern class JSTemporalInstant extends JSObject { nanoseconds: BigInt; }

And then calendrical fields are computed on the fly. Is this correct?

Now we need a tutorial how to take the pedals off the bike. So you do not damage the crank because of the opposite threading left vs right.

Power is king for commercial batteries. On whole sale energy markets you often see high prices in one 1/4 hour, and much lower prices 1 hour later. You can than nicely make an arbitrage profit if you completely cycle the battery. Also many such batteries have similar Max energy and power limits, e.g. 1.5MWh energy vs 1MW power.
