@Searke "~" scales badly for 110-120%:

Style[Row[{100#,"% ","a~b~1"}],
Magnification->#]&/@Range[.5,2.5,.1]//Column

It looks like a minus :-/

I've finally found application of 1~foo~2, // which I find unreadable otherwise.

foo // ClearAll;
foo ~ SetAttributes ~ HoldAll;
foo // Options = {bar -> 1}
foo[] := Module[{}, ...]

Those lines are indicating this declaration in a package in a clearer way than

ClearAll[foo];
SetAttributes[foo, HoldAll];
Options[foo] = {bar -> 1}
foo[] := Module[{}, ...]

@Kuba I don't understand your comment. I want to get the information I asked about in the question. If obtaining this information involves running (loading) the package, that is fine.

@Searke You seem to have turned green ...

Kuba

@Szabolcs perfectly fine answer for me as from someone who didn't get the question :P

Very interesting finding here. Simple arithmetic on a list with homogeneous numerical types triggers automatic packing! Was this discussed anywhere? Was anyone here aware of this behaviour?

@Kuba ^

Kuba

@Szabolcs Not sure if that fits your needs in general but for a single file is just fine. p.s. there is a $NewSymbol function which you may find useful.

Anybody know how those cool tag badges work? It's been telling me I'm close to a "plotting" gold badge for a while now, with 977/1000 points - but what qualifies a point for that number?
I just answered a question with only one tag, "plotting", and it has one upvote and acceptance, so naively it seems that should push me over the edge. But my guess is that it won't.....
Not clear how it works
(oy vey, how weird it is to covet those imaginary internet points)

@JasonB those counts are updated once a day I think

it's weird though, it's been sitting at around nine hundred something for a while - so I wasn't sure how the numbers are counted. Like, if a post has multiple tags, then do the points go to only one tag?

Kuba

@JasonB I think each tag gets them. Details of bagdes are usually discussed on main meta page so you can check there.

JasonB

Thanks

It's so shameful, but I do covet your badges Kuba :-P

Kuba

@JasonB with this rate you will double me in half the time spent answering here. :)
