I wonder what they envision for their new text functions like TextSentences and TextWords, it's like they're making more semantic versions of some string patterns.

Hmm... this is nice
img = Image@Table[i, {100}, {i, 0, 1, 1/99.}];
HighlightImage[img, Table[Line[{{i, 1}, {i, 100}}], {i, 1, 100, 5}]]
Should rename the function to DontBotherWhatITellJustHighlightImageAsYouWish :-)
This is even better
HighlightImage[img, Table[Line[{{i, 1}, {i, 100}}], {i, 1, 100, 5}],
 Method -> {"Boundary", 1}, "HighlightColor" -> Blue]
A girls algorithm.. can't decide which color looks best.
 
2:25 AM
@halirutan You forgot SubMethod -> "I said blue, indeed"
 
@belisarius Don't try it in 10.1... it ignores you completely.
 
:)
A New Kind of Blue
 
@belisarius Here, the frontend freezes completely when I click on "Save Graphic As"

@halirutan I wonder ... or better yet: I don't wonder anymore

:I
 
@hal, I guess Method -> "ISaidBlueWTF" won't work either…
 
@halirutan oh, no! Another rushed version.
Send in the bug reports
 
5:59 AM
I have to ask, who exactly is rushing these otherwise fine developers? The consumers? The free market? Wolfram? Baal?

We can only dream of 10.2.1... :I
Unlikely to happen.
I wonder how much of this stuff actually gets fixed with those magic paclet updates.

@Guesswhoitis. Make a login at Glassdoor and read the reviews there to find out. And I'm fully on your side about the fine developers! I know only a bunch of them, but I would love to work with every single one. Talks or chats were always inspiring and if you'd heard a talk from @user21 only once, you would instantly know who much he likes his FEM stuff and how much he cares about the users.
I guess I don't have to even start about Leonid, Daniel Lichtblau, @JohnFultz or all the others who are an integral part of this site now. Giving tips, awesome insider information or algorithmic details..

Q: No direct way to access the meta page from the main page

shrxI don't see any link on the main Mathematica.SE page that leads directly to http://meta.mathematica.stackexchange.com. There is a panel in the top-right corner that links to "Hot Meta Posts", but this requires an additional click from one of those posts to the main meta page. I think there should...

 
12:19 PM
@halirutan, thanks for the kind words.
 
1:08 PM
@user21, are you around?
 
1:39 PM
@Guesswhoitis., I do not want to be impolite but it depends a bit for what.
 
@user21, only if you're not busy. Do you have any experience with Wachspress coordinates?
 
@Guesswhoitis. no, never heard of those. Seems to be realted to Barycentric (area) coordinats?
 
Yes, generalizations to convex polygons. I'm asking because Wachspress used this for his version of FEM, and I had thought you are well-acquainted with the literature.
(I suppose, not really that applicable in the case of Mathematica's FEM, since you do a simplicial decomposition anyway.)

@SjoerdC.deVries I wonder, is the trial 10.2 the same as the full one? Is the only difference the activation code?
 
@Szabolcs that should be correct
 
5:03 PM
@Szabolcs in my experience, there is never a functional difference apart from the banner which disappears if you enter your actual activation code when you get it.

@Szabolcs you can check the MD5 hash.

@Murta e2389502e937a4a6f4c807b684e8d566 for the dmg

Despite the ever-growing list of tools I have for communication, email remains one of the most important. I depend on email to find out about all sorts of things: my ultimate Frisbee game is rained out, flights to Denver are only $80, my Dropbox account is almost full, my neighbor’s cat is missing (again). While [...]

Does anyone know if/when we'll get Mathematica 10.2 for the Raspberry pi? Apparently they skipped over 10.1 ...
 
9:09 PM
@shrx That's the plan, yes.
@Szabolcs It's the same (except for the licensing of course: trial licenses have an expiration date)
 
@Szabolcs I have the same hash for MMA 10.2 Enterprise Edition for Mac.
 
@kirma 10.2.1 is unlikely to happen, except for a global emergency (like Mathematica 10.2 not working on the next Microsoft Windows 10 operating system). Note that besides new functions (reference.wolfram.com/language/guide/…), the 10.2 release also includes many bug fixes (not enough in my opinion, but a non-trivial amount, about 700). We're in the process of updating (fixed) issues reported here StackExchange.

Additionally, we will use paclet updates wherever possible to update documentation issues and code problems. This is becoming easier and easier and is beginning to take the place of 0.0.x releases. We're not quite there yet, but addressing any issue automatically with paclet-like update is a goal.
@halirutan We can't yet reproduce this, but this issue is now reported internally. If you have any more details, please do let us know (ideally via support@wolfram.com). Thanks.
@halirutan The documentation has now been updated. Should be live on the reference web site with the next update (usually within a week).
@SjoerdC.deVries Did both issues resolve themselves after you restarted?
 
9:50 PM
@Arnoud This might be a candidate for a paclet fix ... (due to the simplicity of fixing).
 
@Szabolcs looking now ... hold on ...
 
@ArnoudBuzing Version 4 .mat files have a simple structure: header-data, header-data, ..., sequentially. The header has information about what type the data is, and how much data is there. There's a small mistake in the importer code in the mapping from numerical codes to datatypes. 1 means 32-bit real, but the importer treats it as 64-bit integer.
This means that it'll try to read twice as much from the data block as it should (64 bit vs 32 bit values) so it runs over the end of the file. Hence the "Insufficient data found for MAT format" error.
 
10:08 PM
ok, I've fixed this in the source and made a pull request for it. I don't think this is paclet updatable (yet), but I will look into that next. Thanks for reporting (and the additional sleuthing)
 
@ArnoudBuzing the first did, but I don't think the second one did. I'm currently traveling but I expect to be able to check on Saturday.
