PdfLatex is a tool that converts Latex sources into PDF. This is specifically very important for researchers, as they use it to publish their findings. It could be installed very easily using Linux terminal, though this seems an annoying task on Windows. Installation commands are given below.

• Install the TexLive base

sudo apt-get install texlive-latex-base

• Also install the recommended and extra fonts to avoid running into the error [1], when trying to use pdflatex on latex files with more fonts.

Automating an svn-to-git mirror with hosted CI

There are plenty of tutorials for migrating from Subversion to git via git-svn, but they all seem to be focused on a one-time migration after which further development will happen in git. Otherwise the obvious use case for git-svn is where a lone developer uses git to push and pull to a Subversion repository from his local machine.

Like me, however, you may find yourself involved in a Subversion-hosted FOSS project with conservative leadership that strongly prefers Subversion to git. This project may also have an official git mirror of the svn repo, synced for years from a core developer’s personal machine.

You may then find yourself spearheading an effort to move this mirroring infrastructure to your project’s newly licensed hosted CI service.

This article discusses two main topics:

Falsehoods programmers believe about time

This is a compiled list of falsehoods programmers tend to believe about working with time.

Don't re-invent a date time library yourself. If you think you understand everything about time, you're probably doing it wrong.

Falsehoods

• There are always 24 hours in a day.
• February is always 28 days long.
• Any 24-hour period will always begin and end in the same day (or week, or month).

I usually host a projects GitHub pages (docs/) and build service configration files (e.g. .travis.yml or .appveyor.yml) together with the projects source in the master branch. When creating a release, github creates a zip and a tar archive (the so called zipball and tarball), which can also be created these links:

https://api.github.com/repos/:user/:project/tarball
https://api.github.com/repos/:user/:project/zipball

or for a specific release:
