Create PDF files from Markdown sources in OSX

When [Markdown][markdown] appeared more than 10 years ago, it aimed to make it easier to express ideas in an easy-to-write plain text format. It offers a simple syntax that takes the writer focus away from the formatting, thus giving her time to focus on the actual content.

The market abunds of editors to be used for help with markdown. After a few attempts, I settled to Sublime and its browser preview plugin, which work great for me and have a small memory footprint to accomplish that. To pass the results around to other people, less technical, a markdown file and a bunch of images is not the best approach, so converting it to a more robust format like PDF seems like a much better choice.

[Pandoc][pandoc] is the swiss-army knife of converting documents between various formats. While being able to deal with heavy-weight formats like docx and epub, we will need it for the more lightweight markdown. To be able to generate PDF files, we need LaTeX. On OSX, the s

"Feels Like" (temperature) Calculation in Python
# I use a Python script to pull current weather conditions from the NOAA web service API. The NOAA web
# service does not return a windchill value for all locations, but given temperature, relative humidity,
# and wind speed you can calculate a “feels like” temperature as follows.
# This code assumes units of Fahrenheit, MPH, and Relative Humidity by percentage. In this example, a
# temperature of 35F, wind speed of 10mph, and relative humidity of 72% yields a "feels like" value of 27.4F
