@PauloCereda It's a bottleneck, whether TeX or Lua.
AFAIK, Lua is on topic here in the context of LuaTeX.

Good morning to all! Going back to a thing discussed some times ago about inputting "strange" chars on Windows... I've been given a laptop that must stay in Windows (grrr) but found this: github.com/samhocevar/wincompose --- change it to use CapsLock as Compose key and be happy!
Compose <3: ♥ yay!

@FaheemMitha yes, and since it seems you are delegating the heavy computation to Lua, it might be the best place to start an investigation and not the other way around. :) Perhaps looking for cyclomatic complexity, or something similar...
@Rmano ooh
 
@Rmano The emoji composing feature looks promising :)
 
Daft Punk no
 
@JairoA.delRio It has more compose sequences than standard Unix compose (and it is definitely much more configurable). But the basic ones are there and are the same, which is what makes me häppy ☺
 
@Rmano can you insert a quick duck emoji?
@DavidCarlisle oh no
 
9:02 AM
@PauloCereda have to check, the Windows thing is off now (back on Linux so I can do real work)
 
@Rmano ooh

@Skillmon hi mr. rabbit! Missed you!
 
@PauloCereda counter-ooh

tlmgr is telling me this: tlmgr: skipping forcibly removed package: everysel (and sankey) since a few days. How can I tell it "I'm ok with that, chap?" ;-)
 
2:00 PM
@Rmano tlmgr update --reinstall-forcibly-removed everysel
 
@JosephWright I'm pondering about color/l3color. As the branch is not merged, hyperref color in the pdfmanagement work only with xcolor (where I added a patch). Should I add a similar patch file for color? Or say "tough" doesn't work? (even if we merge the color branch, it would be only in dev, so won't really help)
 
2:13 PM
@PhelypeOleinik Thanks!
 
2:30 PM
@UlrikeFischer Add a patch at the moment: it can easily be backed out - still not 100% sure the change is safe for the general public
 
@JosephWright and my patch could count as test then ;-)
 
@UlrikeFischer Indeed
@UlrikeFischer BTW, could we have \pdfmanagement_add:nxx as a variant: at the moment I've not done that, using \use:x instead, but we should look at this
 
@JosephWright sure, nxx or nnx? (looking at my sources, the second seem to be more frequent).
@JosephWright actually I already have nnx, why do you need nxx?
 
\cs_if_exist:NT \pdfmanagement_add:nnn
  {
    \use:x
      {
        \pdfmanagement_add:nnn
          { Page / Resources / ColorSpace }
          { color \int_use:N \g_@@_model_int }
          { \pdf_object_ref_last: }
      }
  }
@UlrikeFischer ^^^^
 
@JosephWright ah, right. I will add it asap.
 
 
1 hour later…
3:38 PM
@UlrikeFischer In the meantime, I've given you another PR
 
yo'
3:58 PM
I used \int_compare:nNnT \g__overleaf_symbols_cnt_int < 100 { TRUE CODE } and wondered why TRUE CODE always evaluates... @JosephWright
 
4:22 PM
@yo' You need braces around the 100, otherwise only the 1 is grabbed
 
yo'
@JosephWright Yeah, figured it out!
Feeling down from COVID and lockdown? Invest 5 minutes into watching this. Definitely made my day!

@PauloCereda ^^^ :p
 
@Plergux OH MY
 
@Plergux cm -- Not only a nice name, a nice color too. (What are you knitting?)
 
@JosephWright ;-)
 
4:35 PM
@UlrikeFischer I hope it works! It's basically the same as colorspace
@DavidCarlisle, @UlrikeFischer I see Frank has been bitten by PDFs not being entirely self-contained :)
 
@barbarabeeton ooh a duck sweater
or a duck beanie
 
@Plergux Patito morado :D
 
@JosephWright yes, but I would like to see a real example to understand it.
 
@UlrikeFischer I've seen it before the 'other way' - colour from a document getting into an image
 
@barbarabeeton The pato one is just for @PauloCereda :p (it's from a brand called Cygnus, so they have a bird theme. I might check it out. :p)
 
@Plergux ooh
Meanwhile at the Vatican...

@DavidCarlisle ^^
 
yo'
@PauloCereda we all have secrets...
 
@yo' ooh
 
@PauloCereda No wonder @DavidCarlisle doesn't have time for longtable anymore
 
@PhelypeOleinik ooh
 
5:00 PM
@PauloCereda That can't be David, monochrome englishman don't wear pink.
 
@UlrikeFischer :)
 
@UlrikeFischer and I'd never forgive you for your sins, who else could I blame?

@JairoA.delRio Si si, me gusta morado :p
 
@DavidCarlisle ooh
 
5:21 PM
@Plergux "Baby pato" sounds very cute and comforting. How would I say "baby duck" and "purple duck" in Icelandic?
 
@JairoA.delRio It does! Duckling is "andarungi", baby duck is "andarbarn", and purple duck is "fjólublá önd" (lit. "violet blue duck" :p)
 
@Plergux ooh
 
@Plergux Thank you <3 I have new names for my gf's ducks, even if they aren't purple... yet ;)
@Plergux Btw, why are "andarungi" and "andarbarn" different from "önd" (I'm assuming "önd" is "duck", correct me if wrong)?
 
@JairoA.delRio :D
@JairoA.delRio Declension. nominative - önd (here is a duck - hér er önd), accusative - önd (I wrote about a duck - ég skrifaði um önd), dative - önd (i heard a sound from a duck - ég heyrði hljóð í önd), and genetive (possessive) - andar (this is the track of a duck - þetta er slóð andar). Because they are "child OF duck" it takes the genetive.

@JairoA.delRio btw, in Icelandic Donald Duck is called Andrés. :p
 
5:41 PM
@Plergux Oh, Icelandic has cases, nice :D
@Plergux Oh, wow, what happened here?
 
@JairoA.delRio I don't know. Probably because it alliterates with Önd. :p
 
@Plergux In older translations, Goofy was called "Tribilín" in Spanish :)
 
6:14 PM
@JairoA.delRio That sounds cool :) What does it mean? Sounds a bit "wobbly" :p
 
@Plergux It doesn't have an actual meaning, but it sounds "goofy", like the "diddly-doodly" of The Simpsons' Flanders :)
 
@JairoA.delRio Ah, I see. :)
 
@Plergux Incidentally, in Spanish that "doodly" thing is translated as a suffix "-irijillo", which is sorta two diminutives juxtaposed. Translations are weird
 
@JairoA.delRio lol, buenas diarijillo vecinirillo! :p Yeah, some times you just gotta make shit up. :p
 
6:48 PM
@Plergux Because Donald is a duck's duck (andar önd) :)
 
@AlanMunn :D Quite possibly! I hadn't thought of it like that :D
 
@AlanMunn ooh
@Plergux duck linguistics. :)

A: Scientific applications of the tikzducks

Alan MunnIt is possible to form a grammatical English sentence of length n, using only the words "duck" and "ducks", for all values of n. Using tikzducks perhaps makes the visualization of the structures easier. \documentclass{article} \usepackage[margin=1in]{geometry} \usepackage{amsthm} \newtheorem{th...

 
@AlanMunn ooh
 
@PauloCereda linguística pato :p
 
7:01 PM
@Plergux linguística de pato
 
@AlanMunn ah, f**a-si! eu esqueci a preposição :p
 
@Plergux o.O
@Plergux s/-si/-se/g
 
7:24 PM
@PauloCereda sorry. I like cursing :p It's the most creative and interesting part of each language cause it says so much about the culture :p
 
@Plergux :D
 
7:35 PM
@AlanMunn Lingüística de patos sounds better, but it's grammatical. Nueve de diez :D
 
7:49 PM
@JairoA.delRio I think we were speaking Portuguese not Spanish.
@JairoA.delRio And surely with the plural the meaning is slightly different, even in Spanish, I suspect.
 
@AlanMunn Oh, I see. Sorry, they look too similar, my bad. But we usually use a plural in those cases (maybe @PauloCereda has something to add wrt Brazilian Portuguese)
 
@JairoA.delRio This is something I've written articles on... :)
 
@AlanMunn I don't discuss that (and, in fact, my remark was because the singular makes the phrase above a bit weird, so you're right about meaning). I only suggested a less literal alternative
 
@JosephWright I'm not a heavy siunitx user, so is what I've done in this answer the appropriate way to solve the problem?
 
@AlanMunn Looks OK to me
 
8:03 PM
@JosephWright Good, thanks.

Just had Google Drive damaging me a file beyong repair (can't be cloned or opened, can be downloaded as a XLS, but the re-upload will most likely be a mess). About an hour of work lost. Love you, Google.

Taking back, the sheet is back after some 15 minutes of worry
