Consider some users with high reputation but without any question. IMHO, I think every people in the world has problem to be asked to others. So the questions are Do they really have no problem to be asked? Or is it just one of some other aspects they want to compete with each other? Why don't...

Also I have a new favorite comment directed at me

@egreg I should have left my hat on just to bug you

Man I hate the green boxes

@StephanLehmke but @PauloCereda likes to use big German words:-)

@DavidCarlisle Then he should use "Habseligkeiten" more, which was voted the finest German word and in addition, pronouncing it correctly probably proves one can speak German perfectly ;-)

For some reason unknown to me, "Entscheidungsproblem" seems not to have been on the list.

@JosephWright Regarding tex.stackexchange.com/questions/152612/…, here's a small test file that shows the problem

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{expl3}
\ExplSyntaxOn
\seq_new:N \l_test_a_seq
\seq_new:N \l_test_b_seq
\seq_set_split:Nnn \l_test_a_seq {} {abc}
\seq_set_split:Nnn \l_test_b_seq {} {ABCDEF}

\cs_new_protected:Npn \test_func:nn #1 #2
 {
  \tl_show:n {First~is~#1,~Second~is~#2}
 }

\seq_mapthread_function:NNN \l_test_a_seq \l_test_b_seq \test_func:nn

If one runs it, the first iteration shows First is \__seq_item:n , Second is \__seq_item:n which is surely not what's wanted.

11:25 AM

@JosephWright I see that \seq_mapthread_function:NNN has been changed, and a but has been introduced. :(

12:08 PM

@egreg I'll take a look later on: things very busy at work!

@egreg I think I know which checkin this will be caused by

@egreg Yup, I know what caused this. I'll fix it this evening and update CTAN.

1:15 PM

@JosephWright Good! A missing \expandafter, it seems. ;-)

1:28 PM

@egreg Fix checked in, need to write a testfile then do a CTAN update

Q: How to prevent someone from blocking me to access the router control panel?

@JosephWright Thanks!!!

hi folks, do you know how to solve it?

I am a network administrator of a school. I have a privilege to login to the router control panel with the credential I have. A naughty user is running an application on his own computer connected to the network and the application makes the router busy. As a result, I cannot login to the router ...

Either I don't understand the table, or the leading dates should be 2014:

tug.org/meetings.html

@StephanLehmke Yup, looks like copy-paste typos :-)

Also, it seems like TUG 2012 and TUG 2013 took place at the same date. Very time-efficient ;-)

Is there a (date for a) UK-TUG meeting this year?

2:31 PM

@StephanLehmke Not yet: typically a Saturday in October, but depends on me booking it!

5:32 PM

@JosephWright I forgot to tell you that I used l3fp sqrt in an answer. :)

@egreg did it work?

Here's an attempt: I compute the area and then with some math I set the box width. \documentclass{article} \usepackage{environ,expl3} \ExplSyntaxOn \box_new:N \l_yossi_longline_box \box_new:N \l_yossi_final_box \dim_new:N \l_yossi_base_dim \NewEnviron{aspectparagraph}[1] { \hbox_set:Nn \l_...

@JosephWright Ok, done... but probably to late for @PauloCereda's awesome arara feature ;)

@AndrewStacey Hey Andrew. Since you're a proficient git user, I was wondering whether you host your course material on Github or Bitbucket... Do you?

@AndrewStacey If you do, can you tell me a bit about your workflow? In particular, how do you manage your output files (visible to any visitor) compared to your input files (which I presume should only be visible to you, the author)?

@cgnieder Great: names are accumulating

Should I disclose the code? The output seems pretty like the original. ;-)

For an exercise I have to stretch the summation and other symbols vertically like As you see does the size not change horizontally. Any suggestions on how to do this? I've been looking for quite some time now :/ *note I don't have the code of this picture the exercise is about finding out ho...
