Creating PDFs from Markdown with Pandoc and LaTeX
Core points Chris Ward, the author of this article, describes how to convert Markdown files to PDFs using Pandoc and LaTeX for their open source board game Chip Shop. Game components are written using Markdown, and the game website is also generated by these files. Pandoc (an open source markup conversion tool) and LaTeX (a document declaration and layout system) are used to generate PDFs from Markdown files. Despite their powerful capabilities, they cannot combine multiple PDFs onto a single page, so Ward uses the command line tool PDFJam to meet this requirement. The author provides a detailed guide on how to install necessary dependencies (Markdown, Je

Quick Tip: Sync a GitHub Fork via the Command Line
It is crucial to keep your GitHub forked repository in sync and make sure your forked repository is consistent with the latest changes from the original repository. This can be done by pulling changes from the original repository to the local repository and pushing it to the forked repository. The process of updating a forked repository includes: forking the repository, cloning the forked repository, linking to the original repository, pulling changes from the original repository, and pushing changes to the forked repository. This process assumes that you have forked the repository and cloned the forked repository on your local machine. When dealing with forked repositories, it is best to avoid committing changes directly to the main branch of the forked repository or the local repository. This branch should be used to save update code from the original repository only. All changes should be made in a new feature or error branch and pushed to a branch with the same name on the forked repository.

Eyetracking: How to Watch the Gap Between the Clicks (and Why)
Eye tracking technology: a tool to understand user behavior Key points: Eye tracking technology (also known as gaze interaction) is a powerful tool for understanding users’ behavior on websites and applications, providing insights beyond traditional analytics, heat maps, or mouse tracking methods. Despite the high initial cost, the integration cost of eye tracking projects is only a few hundred dollars, and DIY solutions and platforms such as PyGaze and Gazepoint provide developers with affordable options. Eye tracking should not replace other testing methods, but should be supplemented. It is crucial to ensure adequate sample sizes to obtain accurate results, respect user privacy, and be familiar with the process before conducting on-site research.
