Apple Starts Approving First Touch Bar App Updates on Mac App Store

So you use antiquated software, and don't want to update with a new laptop because you prefer ancient software.

As a mathematician, I don't even bother with LaTeX, as it is not useful enough for my research to rely on it.
I've always preferred using mainstream software that gets frequent updates as opposed to less popular and less capable software.

Really? I am an actual mathematician — let that sink in for a moment — and I don't know a single colleague who doesn't "bother with LaTeX". What do you use to format your papers, and in what sense is it more mainstream than LaTeX? What journals do you submit to that don't require submissions in some form of TeX?

From the Duke Mathematical Journal submission guidelines:

Please include the following when submitting a paper to DMJ:

...
• A copy of the manuscript in LaTeX2e. Please do not submit PDF files of the manuscript.​

From the Communications on Pure and Applied Mathematics submission guidelines:

Authors of papers accepted for publication are expected to submit their contributions formatted electronically in AMSTeX, LaTeX, or TeX.

​

Also, if you were referring to Vim as antiquated software that doesn't get frequent updates, check the release log.

wow, this is an unexpected statement, as it is illogical
I went to check this information in Google

I have been busy with Earthquake related business this week.

I do not need to submit any of my research to journals, as I am looking to self-publish a book of my collected research after the main funding round has been approved for the thousands of chemicals I have computed with my computational chemistry formula.
Additionally, I no longer bother with peer review from less capable mathematicians, as it is a waste of my time explaining basic concepts in all the fields I have discovered. And given the methods of calculation, it is not required to use set theory either, so peer review is entirely optional on proofs built through type theory.

Vim is not capable of concise expression of my main fields of research, so I am not interested in your defence of the 80s way of editing documents. It is simply not capable of doing anything remotely as sophisticated as I need.

For example, it would take four hours to work in Vim the proof of my new type of Gaussian Elimination, as opposed to creating a PDF from standard desktop publishing software and a few charts of the interactions within 40 minutes.
And that's a waste of my time which I can't make a valid and logical argument for.
