This is exactly why Java is such a pain to work with.
Somehow, Java developers all decided to stop dealing with error conditions and just crash the stack whenever something weird happens.
The way Java developers seem to work these days has a lot in common with Rust beginners that just `?` or `.unwrap()` every single fallible method. Random crashes ("RuntimeException") are acceptable, so nobody even bothers doing error handling any more.
Even the base SDK doesn't really bother with handling exceptions (i.e. the story with streams + exceptions). It's an excellent language feature tainted by a combination of bad choices twenty years ago and a weird culture shift in error handling.
And in C#, you can just type `await` and call an async function from a sync function.
Calling unsafe requires an unsafe block from safe functions. That's essentially the same thing as async/await in many languages (Rust does things differently, of course, but that's even worse in my opinion).
Yes, but not in JavaScript.
Also, if I publish something online, you don't get to tell me what I can and can't put there (except for reasonable exemptions for hate speech and such, of course). If you don't like repos that tag their slop, go read someone else's code. Feel free to write a filter in your adblocker for the dozen AI tools you usually find.
The app has the benefit of being free, getting a working reader costs 60-90 euros last time I checked and Linux driver support isn't great.
MS should write an alternative to the tool (and I believe they have done so at some point in modern versions of Office), but removing this piece of abandonware was the right call.
I think they never owned the source code. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Office_shared_tools#...:
“Equation Editor was a formula editor developed by Design Science that allowed users to construct math and science equations in a WYSIWYG environment, and was included in Microsoft Office and several other commercial applications. It was a simplified version of Design Science's MathType”
> MS should write an alternative to the tool (and I believe they have done so at some point in modern versions of Office)
Indeed, and the first version they did that in cannot be called modern anymore. From that same page:
“Beginning with Office 2007, Equation Editor is no longer the default method of creating equations, and is kept for compatibility with old documents only. Instead, a reengineered equation editor is included”
It is the compatibility with old documents that could be an issue with Microsoft's complete removal of the old Equation Editor. I suppose anyone dealing with legacy documents should be using a vm with Win2000 and Office 2000 really.
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/equation-editor-6...:
“Equation Editor 3.0 objects will still display normally if you have MT Extra font installed (if you don't have the font, you can download it)”
I think the equation is an OLE object with a preview image.
Desktop and mobile Linux is an extreme niche and alternatives to Linux are practically nonexistent. I'm not surprised law makers might not have known that there are operating systems not made by for-profit companies.
German Amazon should ship to me without additional costs but then I'd end up with QWERTZ...

Before you couldn't make this dangerous (without JS) because there was no way to auto expand the templates
