I broke production via a really dumb mistake, and #Overleaf was down for around 10 minutes.
I'm regularly making sure that my team know that it's never "I" broke production, always "we" broke production... But it's harder to take that medicine than dish it out it seems. #devops #hugops
AHA! Mystery solved! ๐
For years, I have wondered why so many things that people edit with #overleaf end up with the document's URL pasted (https://www.overleaf.com/project/....) at random spots in the document. I've reviewed submitted papers that had the URL in the middle of the conclusion, seen stuff on arxiv that had the URL in the Acknowledgements section, spotted it in the middle of the bibliography, caught it in the middle of proposals I was giving people feedback on, etc.
But my theories on how it was getting there (people pasting into the body instead of the URL bar, etc.) just didn't seem likely to explain just how amazingly common it is. And I don't use overleaf much myself, so I couldn't tell what was going on.
Until today. I think I figured it out.
There's a bar between the source and the PDF that you can drag to resize them. But the middle of that bar is *not* draggable, it's a button! (clicking it hides the PDF completely) And it has the document's URL on it, for some reason.
So, if you intend to resize the PDF, but "grab" this button instead of the actual resize bar, and drag it toward the source ... yep, that pastes the document's URL into the spot your cursor stops.
#Overleaf tip: hitting the "end" key twice brings the cursor to the end of a paragraph and hitting the "home"/line start key twice beings the cursor to the beginning. This is useful because the ctrl+up/down shortcut, which does this in Word/Drive, instead moves all of the text up or down one line in the Overleaf viewport.
My template is based on https://www.overleaf.com/latex/templates/simple-and-clear-your-username-resume/wksqncvzcbff with some modifications
I would compile it with `xelatex -synctex=1 -interaction=nonstopmode resume.tex`, until that I found my university is providing #overleaf subscriptions

Morning fellow tooters! Do any users of #Latex, specifically #Overleaf, know the favicon code for #Mastodon?
It seemingly does not work via the \fa code as a new command? Even using the #fontawesome package, it does not show.

@mackaaij I'd love to, but unfortunately I can't find it anymore! And I don't even remember who posted it.
However the main take aways were a toolbox for successful #AcademicWriting: #Overleaf #Zotero - both of which I use already - and #Obsidian for note taking...
Thankyou ๐ to whoever it was...

Anyone else getting strange "biblatex" errors with @langscipress and Overleaf?
I find it so hard to concentrate on writing with that red error flag popping up... #latex #overleaf
We've had a chunk over 2,000 applications for our developer roles this week. Normally we'd expect about 500 over the space of a ~3 week period.
I think there's a combination of factors. Layoffs are obviously a big thing, new year bringing in restless feet. Also we've done a lot of work on our job ads and the #Overleaf brand is becoming more well known.
Hoo, boy this is a CV sift and a half though.
