@jokerdino You mean, we'd have latex support soon, or that they have support which is not yet satisfactory?

jokerdino

@kan The beta version of Retext has a preliminary support for Latex I think.

kan

Oh, I see. How do I install then? Let me give several things a try before settling on something I really like.

(I decided my TeX editor after trying twelve different editors.)

jokerdino

Oops. Looks like it was MathJax support and not Latex.

kan

But, if someone can help me through installing qute, it would be great! I don't what to do next. :(

Q: How to install a .tar.gz (or .tar.bz2) file?

I have downloaded tar.gz files. But I don't know how to install it. How do I install this kind of file?

@kan No, it's my pet peeve after htorque gave up.

msPeachy

@jokerdino hi

msPeachy

I was hoping that Foss was going to chime in, instead of just renaming and rewording the obvious. — Bryan 5 hours ago

jokerdino

msPeachy

Journeyman Geek

cause SO is full of idiots

jokerdino

starred for the truth.

Mochan

@JourneymanGeek I had @kan's help to solve my insecurities with the Memory addresses and such :3 (He is also doing the course :D)

Journeyman Geek

03:37

I had to say it , cause yanno, ignoring ladies who say 'I need you' is impolite ;p

Mochan

^--- true story

jokerdino

@JourneymanGeek ;-)

Journeyman Geek

@Mochan: outside the exercises, you're unlikely to need to use the memory addresses for anything practical

@Mochan: also a good way to get a drink thrown in your face, or slapped or...

Mochan

@JourneymanGeek I know. I heard that alot from someone in particular. It's annoying me a little because I'm still not 100% how it works. Is it really to be expected that I do? -sigh-

kan

@JourneymanGeek Truer words were never spoken. But, on another note, it is a good model to have. ;)

Journeyman Geek

03:38

Not that I speak from experience ;p

@Mochan: basically Its just good to know how it works

Mochan

@JourneymanGeek I hope not. I doubt it anyway.

Journeyman Geek

but python , much like the honey badger, dosen't give a shit

jokerdino

@JourneymanGeek xD

Mochan

@JourneymanGeek Yeah. One step ahead of every other noob Python programmer.

jokerdino

i think i miss honey badger now

Journeyman Geek

03:39

If you learn C tho, the memory model is essential

Mochan

@JourneymanGeek I'm not going to learn C.

kan

@jokerdino who/what is honey badger?

jokerdino

@kan honey badger is an animal.

Mochan

I tried to learn C, and I got the basic print thing (which I have forgotten now) but that's it.

@kan +1

BTW don't boing me... my ears will explode...

jokerdino

i was using honey badger as a nick for a week or so

Mochan

03:41

@jokerdino Lol why?

jrg

mochan, you can mute this room so your ears survive

jokerdino

@Mochan coz i was looking for a change.

Mochan

When your picture is in it's tiny thumbnail, I sometimes mistake it for a turtle in the ocean O.o

@jokerdino XD

Journeyman Geek

@KannappanSampath: Its a animal that's about the size of a medium sized dog, and basically can can get bitten by a viper, take a nap, then eat it.

jokerdino

minitube sucks in quantal.

Journeyman Geek

03:42

also, can pick a fight with a pride of lions. Lions run away.

jokerdino

Mochan, green ocean?

Mochan

@jrg Can I mute the room specifically without muting my normal audio output?

Journeyman Geek

@Mochan: yes, click on the speaker thing on the right

Mochan

@jokerdino Really? Aw :(

Journeyman Geek

If you look at the dictionary under badass, you will see chuck norris and honey badger

Journeyman Geek

Roland Taylor

jokerdino
