I found a way, but it only works in Acrobat and I don't want to use Acrobat or force people who want the code in the paper to use Acrobat.

How do I do it without Acrobat?

I just want to know how to fix the centering and how to make the spacing in the Maid Dance bigger so it is easier to see the columns of Maid Spaces and the operator. I just want to show people Maid Space Operators getting operated. I have to fix formatting problems and tweak the writing a little more and release the book.

This is true, but out of date. I don't get banned from /g/ anymore because a there janny is nice and enjoys my work. I post in /sci/ whenever I get Latex questions. Last time I tried to ask a science question I got banned for """""trolling""""".

All I asked was that if everything with hands died, would hands get re-evolved? I asked this because a lot of things evolved into crabs and I think that is interesting. If things can converge to crabs, can they also converge to hands? I don't know and asking got me banned for three days.

I know absolutely nothing about biology, I just find other kinds of science interesting and like seeing about it on TV since the US is incapable of making escapist entertainment because TV got subverted by people who view it as a "platform" for their politics rather than an entertainment product, so it can't do its job of being escapist. Most animes don't have maids. They have isekai or are set in like a Japanese Harry Potter story where everyone is in a special highschool and I don't really find those genres interesting. So it is uncommon for me to have something interesting to see on TV.

I have more information about my typesetting problem. I am using a two-side mode in latex, so that if my book gets printed, the margin maids are always on the outside. This works fine, when margins are on the right. If a chapter starts with margins on the left, the chapter header image doesn't span the whole top of the page like it should. It leaves about a 2 inch gap.

Does anyone know why this happens? Worst case I will change it so a blank page keeps the first page of a chapter from ever having it's margins on the right, but I'd rather not have to keep track of that or insert blank pages. I can make the blank pages suck less by putting maids on them, but I don't want blank pages taking up space in the book. Is there something else that needs to be done to make \setchapterimage work when margins are on the left?

What is a good book for learning Modular Arithmetic? Preferably an old one so it isn't hard to get.

I like Modular Arithmetic because it goes in a circle, but I have a hard time remembering how the rules work. When I stop looking at the book I forget what the book told me.

Also, should I care about what a lattice is? I like how this word sounds and I see nice drawings of lattice.

Good Afternoon /Sci/entists!

>Project
I am working on text compression as part of Kurumi MaidCard. I started with LZW and modified it by removing integers and using Maid Space. Then it got more mutatations which made it smash down file size and resulting PNG image more at the cost of making the algorithm slower (Bible to Maid Address used to take 3 seconds. Now it takes 30.)

>Question
I am not sure how compressors are measured against eachother. I'm sure I can compress more than LZW, but that is about it. Is there some standard text for benchmarking tests or results that I can view somewhere?

I don't need to run any other compressors, I'm happy to trust whatever the report says. But I would like a copy of test data to try with mine.

This is the funnest thing I have worked on in a while. I will release it to CC0 when it completes. I will probably check it with Profiler again to see can I make it go faster too because Profiler is fun.

>tl;dr; Computational Maidposting has practical applications in file compression and I am exploring them.

Also if you know a book about making arithmetic with Successor Function, please tell me.

Thank you /sci/entists for reading my post.

I don't care if LaTeX is a programming language or not. I just want to know is it possible to have a LaTex document contain an image which can be saved from the document at the original size of the image?
