@halirutan If you've heard nothing since May, I'm wondering if someone "dropped the ball" which means that, through some mistake/oversight/incompetence, it's no longer on someone's to-do list. It might stay that way until someone inquires or otherwise brings it to their attention.
 
@MichaelE2 No, I already asked again about a month ago.
 
@halirutan Well, then...I'm surprised they're not more respectful.

Quick question: if I have this list of even numbers {2,4,6,8} and want to label them so that it becomes {{1,2},{2,4},{3,6},{4,8}}, which command do I need? The documentation's list manipulation guide don't seem to have an appropriate command, but I'm sure there's a duplicate question somewhere and I'm not searching for the right terms.
 
7:14 AM
@Allure try MapIndexed[{First[#2], #1} &, list]
 
@Allure You could also do something like Transpose@{Range@Length@#, #} & @ {2,4,6,8} but MapIndexed is really less hacky.

@C.E. I don't want to sound too negative, but it seems they've managed to mess up the Meta logo somehow:
(here is the svg version as served by SE) - notice the white lines between the different colors
 
8:37 AM
Not to beat a gift horse, but the kerning's a bit poor. MAT HEM ATICA
But, I'm happy that the logo has finally changed. :)
(The kerning may always have been poor, or maybe I'm just seeing things)
 
@CarlLange No, you're not imagining things, that does indeed look very strange. The sad thing is that @halirutan's version was way better, they just "improved" it for some reason: (the green overlay is the actual logo, the red one is @halirutan's)
They really mangled the poor H...

So we got the new logo. That look a while ...
 
10:28 AM
@CarlLange For such logos, the kerning for beauty is secondary. Firstly, you want to try to get the letters aligned with the pixel grid. And especially the H has to suffer because it these long vertical strokes.
@LukasLang So instead of just changing the "meta" in our logo, they used the old logo without realizing that we fixed the graphics also.
Overlay of the normal and meta logos that I provided:
Overlay of the current ones

Q: Are there problems with the image upload?

mattiav27I tried to post an image on my question, but it does not appear in the post. Is there any problem?

 
@halirutan So the logos don't even match between main and meta? That's a bit sad... :/ - especially considering that they had to add the & Wolfram Language to the meta logo themselves (which presumably the copied from your main logo)
 
@LukasLang Look closely. They also changed the size of "& Wolfram Language"
 
What took so many months for such a sloppy job?!

@Szabolcs And again, without feedback whatsoever.

Readers who follow the Mathematica Stack Exchange (which I highly recommend to any Wolfram Language user) may have seen this post recently, in which I showed a function I wrote to make Bayesian linear regression easy to do. After finishing that function, I have been playing around with it to get a better feel of [...]

Interesting quote from this SE blog post:
> In this time period, 99.1% of first questions were asked by users with reputation less than 111
That seems...bad? Or I suppose not bad, but chances are much higher that the question itself (not necessarily the phrasing) will be uninteresting if one's reputation is low.
 
4:53 PM
@halirutan I think it might be time for a quick feature request post that says "Please use this specific SVG we generated"?
Or is the issue that they just didn't do the addition well to the meta one?

A cute little way to get Mathematica to display as python code in an idiomatic way using some recursive MakeBoxes rules with a different second arg

Useful for me since I do a lot of integration and polynomial manipulation in Mathematica and then use those polynomials in python
