pandoc decidedly not fast on MacOS.

Oh, no I see. It is installing mactex ... which is ... SEVEN GIGS? Christ on an ebike.

[jackryder@infosec.exchange]

@Sempf OH! okay.

That sucks but is less shocking. Curious what macOS native Haskell support is...

[nuintari@mastodon.bsd.cafe]

@Sempf Huh? tex, as in TeX? But for Macs?

[dan@infosec.exchange]

@Sempf I like the idea of LaTex and I have several documents written in it that I update periodically but man the toolchain ecosystem is bad. Big lists of huge packages to pull down. I ended up spinning up a Docker container on a server at home as a dedicated LaTex install

[sempf@infosec.exchange]

@dan Oooooooo what a good idea. Ima gonna do that.

[sempf@infosec.exchange]

@nuintari It's apparently all the LaTeX libraries that Mac needs. And it is a MONSTER. So I'm gonna go finish my cigar from last night.

[sempf@infosec.exchange]

@jackryder You know, I don't know the answer to that! Worth looking into. WAIT I'LL ASK THE AI.

[jackryder@infosec.exchange]

@Sempf I'm curious...

[craigstuntz@discuss.systems]

@nuintari @Sempf Yeah, the full distribution is huge. You can `brew install homebrew/cask/basictex` if you want a smaller install. But that won't help you if you have some other install that depends on `mactex`. It's annoying, because AFAIK most of the bloat comes from PDF documentation, but not the hill I'm going to die on.

@Sempf overleaf is pretty solid
