I don't watch much YouTube, but I do heartily recommend Georg Rockall-Schmidt
Depressing politics/economics, but in a sarcastic, humourous, ironic, meta, Pratchett/Adams sort of way

@fkinoshita Awesome, I think that'll be useful to look at when I'm not sure what to use!
It is interesting how it eventually just becomes a sentence. I.e., how I would say the expression if I was talking to someone
@screwtape Do you mean how LaTeX tends to use unicode symbols? I find that 99% of LaTeX is actually positioning and resizing symbols (something that is tricky with just plaintext)
Interestingly, the AucTeX mode in Emacs has a cool feature where it displays things like subscripts, superscripts, prettify-symbols, as you go
(I might have misunderstood your question!)
I've always had a sort of low-level hatred and appreciation for LaTeX. I've been thinking recently it would be cool to just write maths in plain-text, I've even made some diagrams and whatnot with ASCII.
Turns out Plan9 has some hotkeys for unicode stuff, including some maths symbols!

(Notes from "All of Statistics")
I have become an expert at setting up Firefox. My procedure is:
- Remove all the random stuff from the toolbar (i.e., profile, spacer)
- Remove all the spam from the home screen
- Add English GB to the languages
- Disable smooth scroll, video controls, and "recommend crap as you browse"
- Enable autoscroll
- Privacy on strict, "Do Not Track"
- Block all requests for notifications
- Disable data collection
- Install UBlock Origin (and unpin from toolbar)
- Use DuckDuckGo, kill Bing
