@egreg, @Gonzalo: It's not a masterpiece, I can give you guys that. :) But I think the album is quite interesting as a tribute to Richard Wright. The last track, Louder than words has a very emotional touch IMHO about the relationship between Gilmour and Wright and it's something like the last waltz for Pink Floyd (the last song of the last album of this legendary band). :)
Not to mention the album title, The endless river, which is the last lyrics of a song I really love from them, High hopes, from The division bell. One of the most beautiful guitar solos ever made.
@percusse One of my favourite shows as well. :) I have it on DVD. :)
@PauloCereda But the band in The division bell is not Pink Floyd (Waters had already left).
@GonzaloMedina What was Waters' last album? Final cut?
We also have a problem there because technically it wasn't Pink Floyd too because Richard Wright was fired during the making of that album. :)
@PauloCereda Yes.
@PauloCereda For me, Waters+Gilmour=Pink Floyd.
00:32
@GonzaloMedina No Waters = Pink Floyd!50. :)
Bad LaTeX colour joke, I know. :)
@PauloCereda Not so bad. I like it!
@GonzaloMedina PinkFloyd!50!Syd

@PauloCereda Sorry that I disappeared on you for a few weeks! I just sent you an email about knitr and arara, though. Let me know if there is anything that I can still do to help test things out.

@Johannes_B No idea!
@EnthusiasticStudent Hello
09:13
@EnthusiasticStudent Hi
@Johannes_B Do you have any experience with linux?
@EnthusiasticStudent a bit.
@EnthusiasticStudent A bit here too
I have ubuntu installed besides to my windows
but I am a basic user of linux
I like the shell and code writing in linux
Is there any distribution of linux which does not have any graphical user interface? Just a command line like DOS
@EnthusiasticStudent You can always make your own ;-) linuxfromscratch.org
09:19
@EnthusiasticStudent If you don't want to use a GUI you don't have to. Ctrl-Alt-F1 will get you a virtual terminal in a standard Linux machine.
@Johannes_B wow!
@EnthusiasticStudent You can remove your window manager from starting when booting. But why?
I am having multiple terminal open right now to enjoy my cli
@FaheemMitha aha...
But basically nobody uses these unless X has gone down.
@FaheemMitha Remote access to servers?
09:22
I am using ubuntu. Is it good for starting linux?
@EnthusiasticStudent You can start any Linux distro in user mode (init 3). :) That's how I use Linux in my notebook. :)
@PauloCereda I mean, is it a good distro for a beginner user like me?
The endless river playing here at full blown speakers.
@EnthusiasticStudent It's actually a matter of personal taste. There's Mint, Ubuntu, Fedora, etc.
09:42
what @PauloCereda means is basically any linux distro is OK: so long as you've got emacs, you're happy.
@DavidCarlisle alias emacs=vim
:)
@JosephWright I meant locally.
@EnthusiasticStudent Ubuntu is a reasonable choice to start with. It is certainly beginner-friendly.
@FaheemMitha Ah
@FaheemMitha thank you. :)
@EnthusiasticStudent Nothing wrong with it
09:55
@EnthusiasticStudent As long as you read a bit to get you started and you feel comfortable with your distribution (which in my pov is mostly a matter of optics) you'll be fine.
@EnthusiasticStudent having good hardware is at least as important as what distribution you use.
Yeh! I answered a latex3 question with latex3 code! and I'm a member of the latex3 team

@JosephWright: ^^
@DavidCarlisle No picture mode? I'm disappointed. :)
@FaheemMitha When I work with ubuntu on my system, I think it is a little slow. I don't have such feeling when I am in windows on the same system.
@EnthusiasticStudent There are more minimal variations like xubuntu or even lubuntu.
10:01
That is why I thought it is a good idea for me to move to a DOS like environment in linux which does not have any graphical interface to slow my system down.
@EnthusiasticStudent Lubuntu is sooo economic with the resources. As long as your system is more than 20 years old, you should be fine.
@EnthusiasticStudent Maybe of interest: mylinuxexplore.blogspot.de/2013/05/…
@Johannes_B :)) my system is only a smart 3-year old baby! I used to work with DOS on another system so many years ago!
But you are right, lubuntu is so economic
10:17
@Johannes_B Should I uninstall my ubuntu to move to lubuntu?
10:28
Yay, more biscuits!
Interestingly, the name of the biscuit is Black forest. :)
@ChristianHupfer: ^^

heheh
@percusse :))
@percusse :-)
@percusse: do you know the name of this one? :)
@PauloCereda well if I knew what ch3 groups are called, I might have a wild guess
But go ahead
Something with fat?
@PauloCereda Pfff hahaha
@percusse <3
@PauloCereda 2,3,3,4-tetramethylcyclohexadienone maybe :D
Oh no! first time I make an L3 answer in months and @egreg says it is abuse :(
@tohecz :)
@DavidCarlisle It's your emacs buffer fault. :)
11:16
@PauloCereda I used vim for that answer
11:26
@DavidCarlisle And the OP agrees. :P
@DavidCarlisle Excuses, excuses. :)
@DavidCarlisle now you lie :D or you have alias vim='emacs'
@DavidCarlisle That's why it was worse than usual. ;-)
@David: you should have a biscuit. :)
@PauloCereda The waiter on the train is going to give me some cookies. Or should I have some wine?
11:39
@egreg Cookies. :)
@EnthusiasticStudent Usually linux based systems feel snappier. Check what you have installed and what you are running.
 
1 hour later…
13:28
@FaheemMitha I am now using my ubuntu! it's updating to 14.10 version
my problem is that I afraid of linux indeed... it seems so professional
@EnthusiasticStudent Afraid of Linux? How so? Are you afraid it is going to turn and bite you?
@FaheemMitha :)) don't know. afraid of things go wrong or the laptop brake down... I am always expecting something go wrong with it
@egreg OMG that's so lovely! Hello, bossy English lady? Where did you go? :)
13:48
@EnthusiasticStudent Relax. Have fun with it.
@PauloCereda Color me underwhelmed. But then, I don't have nostalgic memories of Sesame Street as a child.
@FaheemMitha oopsie.
@DavidCarlisle: ^^
14:05
Good maen
@Johannes_B: Thanks ;-)
@ChristianHupfer heyahlosuphowdy
@PauloCereda: cookies named 'black forest'? There's probably a lot of wood in them? ;-)
@ChristianHupfer thankfully none. :)
Bought me a copy of The endless river.
@PauloCereda: The endless river... I don't get the line currently
@ChristianHupfer New Pink Floyd album. :)
14:11
@PauloCereda: I thought all Pink Floyd members have already gone to see their makers ;-)
@ChristianHupfer o.O
@PauloCereda: Anyway, I will sue the manufacturer of Black Forest cookies -- he/she/they abused the name for their cheap product ;-)
@ChristianHupfer Let me eat the evidence first. :)
@PauloCereda: Well, I will call 'Bones' for an autosopy to get at least some remnants of the evidence ;-)
@ChristianHupfer Harming a duck is a crime against humanity.
14:20
@PauloCereda: Mocking a Black Forest Citizen is even more a crime... it's a crime against the laws of universe ...and all parallel universes too
@ChristianHupfer Except in the universe where not mocking a black forest citizen is a crime. :)
@PauloCereda: I said... all
@ChristianHupfer You can't have all, that's the deal with parallel universes. :)
@PauloCereda: Let be U the set of all universes, then this universe \in U ;-)
@ChristianHupfer Then let U' \subset U be the set of all universes where U' = \{ u' \in U \mid P(u) \} where P(u) = not mocking a black forest citizen is a crime. :)
14:25
@PauloCereda: that's an \emptyset :-P
@PauloCereda: q.e.d
@ChristianHupfer quack ente duck
@PauloCereda: Useless to discuss with ducks ... they don't understand math :-P
@ChristianHupfer Can't hear you. Busy eating these delicious Black Forest biscuits. :P
@Christian: wait for @tohecz and @egreg get serious on our little math joke above. :P
Speaking of him. :) Hi Tom!
@PauloCereda you pinged me to I Am There You Are Here :)
@tohecz ooh. :)
14:30
@PauloCereda: We were just using set 'theory' on universes, it's rather a Physics topic :-P
@PauloCereda which joke?
@tohecz @Christian an I were talking about sets and universes and ducks and Black Forest citizens and delicious biscuits.
:)
@ChristianHupfer golatex.de/…
Hurry, i'll delete it an a few minutes.
@PauloCereda what's this Black Forest thingy?
@tohecz I bought some biscuits and in the box it says it's Black Forest biscuits. :)
Then Christian wants to sue the company while I eat the evidence. :)
14:35
@tohecz: @PauloCereda is offending me ;-)
@ChristianHupfer No I am not!
:)
@PauloCereda ah ok :)
@Johannes_B: Slightly off-topic? ;-)
@ChristianHupfer you too? :p
@Christian: In other parallel universe, I might. And in other, it might be just the opposite. :P
There might be a parallel universe where @David uses Microsoft Word. gasp
14:36
@tohecz: No, I am never off-topic :-P
@ChristianHupfer Refresh the tab please.
@ChristianHupfer In another parallel universe, you'd be always off-topic. :)
@PauloCereda: There might be universes where Paulo uses E M A C S ... gasp gasp
@ChristianHupfer OH NOES!

@tohecz: I never offend anyone ... except on purpose ;-)
@PauloCereda I can't decide which will be a better sign of the end of the universe: Paulo using emacs or barbara speaking all caps
@Johannes_B: Done so... ;-)
@tohecz ooh barbara speaking all caps would be terrifying!
@PauloCereda (or a missed caps lock :D )

@PauloCereda vv
@DavidCarlisle WOW!
14:43
@PauloCereda two blank documents (I can't use either editor)
@DavidCarlisle LOL
@ChristianHupfer Too much TeX, didn't know they want to send a robot to a comet.
@Johannes_B, well I can remember the launching time ten years ago, it was in my last Doktorandenjahr...
@ChristianHupfer Jahr is year, if I still remind my German classes. :) I do remember the teacher, oh I miss her. <3
@PauloCereda: A+ ;-)
14:48
@ChristianHupfer Yay! :) Now, I move to advanced German. :)
@PauloCereda: Now speak aloud: Was ist das Wort für Mittelschmerz ;-)
@ChristianHupfer Nah. :P
@PauloCereda If you study really hard you may be able to read the starred comment on the right
@DavidCarlisle The Fraktur one? :)

15:01
@ChristianHupfer Das ging komplett an mir vorbei.
Ich werde diese Schallplatte nicht kaufen, sie ist zerkratzt.
@PauloCereda: Our running gag ;-)
@ChristianHupfer As always. :) Watch @JosephWright appear out of nowhere, he senses MP jokes a mille away. :)
@PauloCereda: I don't mind that... I definitely do not remember any MP line, but a lot of them ;-)
We have a visitor (who's probably wondering what on earth has happened to this room:-) with probably the only German speaking cricket playing, brazillian duck in the stackexchange network:-)
15:09
@DavidCarlisle :)
@Alex: Hello!
@DavidCarlisle: The knowledge of German almost 'completed' the duck ;-) It has risen to next level ...
@ChristianHupfer Is there a next level of professional duck?
@Johannes_B Entrepreneur duck, perhaps. :)
Nov 9 at 14:04, by Paulo Cereda
@Nick Sorry, I'm a professional duck. :)
@Johannes_B: The divine duck? :D
15:14
@Chris: @Paulo needs to join DANTE to get to that level.
@Johannes_B: Who says he is no member?
Nobody, are you a member @paulo?
@Johannes_B I wish I were. :( So far, I'm struggling to become a member of the UK-TUG. :)
@PauloCereda: DANTE is the only 'club' I am member of...
@ChristianHupfer I guess we can say three quarter divine duck
15:17
@Johannes_B: Sounds a like a statement of a statistician :D Three out of four ducks are divine... in average
The divine duckling, a story that Shakespeare didn't get to write
@Johannes_B: Well, Shakespeare wrote 'Well quacked, duck', but changed it into `Well roared, lion' in 'Midsummer night's dream' ;-)
@ChristianHupfer Why are there sooo many »I want my bibliography to look this way«-questions?
@Johannes_B: I tend to ignore them... I have not done bibliographies since I've dropped out of the university :D
@Johannes_B because both bibtex and biblatex are so difficult to set up properly?
15:23
@tohecz Not if one is satisfied with the basic styles.
@Johannes_B well, I'm still eager to see some of the basic styles done in biblatex with less than 50 lines of extra code :-(
@tohecz Since there are so many fallbacks, impossible.
I don't say any of these two systems are bad, I just mean: the bibliography styling is more complicated than what we wished, and no tool can change it, they can only help reduce the burden.
Still, why is there no makebiblatexstyle? It could have had the very same decision tree as makebst...
@tohecz I still have an app in oven to help write bibliograhy styles, but sadly I couldn't not even work on it due to my lack of free time. :(
@PauloCereda yep I know. This is more a lament than a complain :D
15:30
@tohecz :)
@PauloCereda That's illegal ;-)
Gotta love when a bad question gets even worse answer:

A: How to do this in LaTeX?

jlvAs @tohecz said, the amsmath package is quite helpful, and learning about it yourself is usually the best solution. The second best solution is seeing what other people have done, taking it, and adjusting it to your needs. Below is a second best solution. \documentclass{article} \usepackage{ams...

@JosephWright Uh-oh. :)
@tohecz: Let me guess... Your downvote count increased? ;-)
@tohecz I was tempted to answer 'yes'
15:41
@ChristianHupfer no, not this time. This is not worth it. (I mean, a downvote at this moment wouldn't help anybody.)
Is using those keywords based on experience, or should that be obvious to a new user?
@EnthusiasticStudent Not sure, i installed ubuntu almost 3 years back and later added xfce. My whole system is cluttered with stuff of both working environments. But right now, who has the time (and patience) to make a clean reset?
16:00

Q: TeXstudio: “No dictionary Available”, although it is!

user65722I have the same issue as this person: Dictionary for TeXstudio: “No dictionary Available” with the exception, that I have the dictionaries.

Q: '\cite{}' is behaving oddly: it will only show [?]

KristinI decided to make a new and simple question from my previous question since I found that my \cite{} command behaved wrong. I used this example from http://grad.iit.edu/latex/LaTeX/BiblioHelp2.pdf: \documentclass{report} \begin{document} time approaches infinity \cite{Pan}. \begin{thebiblio...

@JosephWright Can you also put the tick next to it? :P
I wonder?
@percusse 'Fraid not
17:16
@percusse talkin' hawkin'. :)
@JosephWright I'm pretty sure OP is not scrolling down. :)
@JosephWright we should ask for aux. :)
@PauloCereda See the comment about 30 seconds ago
@PrzemysławScherwentke, I think I might figure the problem out. Is .aux file important for cite? I just checked 'Preferences..' for Sweave under Rstudio. There was a check for "Clean auxiliary output after compile". I removed that check and now the number is appeared. — Kristin 58 secs ago
@JosephWright I LOL'ed. :)
@percusse I wonder about 'Off topic as it's caused by a damn-fool-stupid setting in a GUI' ;-)
@PauloCereda I mean, for goodness sake who thought that was a helpful idea
17:19
@JosephWright It's auxiliary. :P
@JosephWright I would just purge all the comments but the last two or three, and the zap it as "unclear what you're asking"
@tohecz I'll certainly zap, but I'm not sure about unclear. This is a problem with a third-party tool, which is on the 'off topic' line
Well, he actually receives the warning from a package that he doesn't use on a line that doesn't exist. That seems unclear enough to me. If you wish, I'll cast the first close vote ;)
My cellphone is certainly dramatic: everytime the battery is in <5%, it blinks a very soft red light at a heartbeat pace. Just like if it's dying. :)
@JosephWright I also think the comments should go away and it should be off-topic because the problem is not reproducible after deleting the aux file etc.
17:25
@percusse I'm just downloading RStudio to check that this setting really exists
Is it just me, or are there more down votes casted the past few days?
@JosephWright Rezpekt! You are our moderator and will be forever !
@Johannes_B just us.
@percusse 100% agreed.
@percusse No one is to star this: I will remove them
@JosephWright It wasn't me this time!
17:28
@JosephWright Ah you humble hero.... (psst paulo...)
I was the first, then my yellow star disappeared.
@percusse <3
Someone else starred. :)
@PauloCereda It was me.
I can't ... I would if I could
@Johannes_B ooh! :)
@PauloCereda Our moderator does a great job here.
17:30
Think of @DavidCarlisle as a moderator converting all @egreg's answers to comments. :P
@Johannes_B They surely do. :)
@PauloCereda you are running time backwards
@DavidCarlisle You are an Englishman, you certainly do understand time travel way better than I do. :)
@PauloCereda it wouldn't work, they're too long :D
@percusse It seems it really does have a setting for that, enabled by default
@JosephWright ridiculous!
17:31
@tohecz ooh! That's true! :)
@JosephWright It's bonkers.
@PauloCereda :)
@JosephWright Probably they were trying to be helpful from a Java programmer perspective :P
@PauloCereda Certainly if it does only one TeX run
@percusse Goodness only knows
@JosephWright :)
Perhaps we need a 'proper' question on this: could we arrange to either modify the current one to do the job or perhaps deliberately ask one about it?

A: Reducing font size in equation

Tony Beta LambdaWhy nobody mentions the small environment? \begin{small} \[ x^2 + 2xy + y^2 \] \end{small}

@JosephWright Nobody uses that stuff as far as I know.
@JosephWright I'd prefer to arrange a new one. The OP is already confused. :)
@PauloCereda Yes
@percusse Yeah, who uses TeX or aux files.
:)
@percusse Well at least one person clearly does, but I guess you mean that 'in the wild' Sweave is used for small LaTeX snippets not cross-referenced full documents
17:35
@JosephWright Exactly. :) And soon we also will have a rule in arara, so there won't be any need for running stuff in that IDE. :)
@Johannes_B your comment's wrong:-)
It had to be done
@DavidCarlisle the reasoning is, the statement itself ... :-)
@Johannes_B a questionable design choice it is ;)
@percusse LOL Half Life 3 confirmed.
17:39
latex has special precautions to eg `% Make sure that an attempt to define a 'graf' or 'group' environment
% fails.` so `\newenvironment{graf}` fails _even though_ `\endgraf` _is_ defined.
@tohecz this video by @percusse was disturbing me, i heard that guy raging about the small environment.
@Johannes_B I added a picture that shows why nobody mentioned \begin{small}
@egreg Thanks. We have a FAQ about this at texwelt.de
@egreg as usual, taking a hint from my comment?
@DavidCarlisle I was preparing the example while you just commented. :P
@egreg I believe the standard response applies: excuses excuses
the OP decided to go away just today.
@Johannes_B: On the \end.... command stuff see my question: tex.stackexchange.com/questions/199692/… and especially the answers
@ChristianHupfer I can't upvote this question.
Already did so a while back :-p
@DavidCarlisle Oh, clever
17:49
@Johannes_B: It's not about upvoting ... tsts
@DavidCarlisle I see the team list is quieter today
@percusse: this is by fair my best contribution to this site: tex.stackexchange.com/posts/153389/revisions :)
@ChristianHupfer brilliantly lucid accepted answer to that one
@DavidCarlisle :-D
@DavidCarlisle: Yes, and it was my accept who raised you beyond 200k :-P
17:51
@JosephWright either traveling or sulking....
@ChristianHupfer :-)
@DavidCarlisle Possibly
@DavidCarlisle... although @egreg heavily complained...as he always does :D
@DavidCarlisle having biscuits.
Black Forest ones. :)
@PauloCereda I'll have my wine on the train in a few minutes. :)
@DavidCarlisle I've been working on a 'format-building time' version of unicode-letters.tex: the bit reading UnicodeData.txt is actually quite doable 'live', so it's just a question of the license on that file (I think it's free-to-distribute). Still need to think about the XeTeX-specific line breaking stuff.
17:53
@egreg ooh I wish I had a glass right now. :)
@JosephWright I worry about the licence from time to time as I distribute an xml version of that w3.org/2003/entities/2007xml (UCD has an XML version these days but not when I started) Is it really worth distributing the text file though isn't it simpler just to pre-process it to filter just the info you need in a more tex friendly format?
@DavidCarlisle Probably the best plan, and what we already have going on for l3unicode-data (which I may yet revise a bit)
@DavidCarlisle Key point was that we can do the job without needing Perl or whatever: the parsing is actually easy in TeX
I'm recently reading also about the licenses for my toolbox and I'm really confused about GPL2 and BSD
@JosephWright you could read my xml version, if only we had an xml parser in tex....
if it was for me I'd stick to WTFPL but this time i would like to get back the modifications if there would be

20:24
@PauloCereda expl3
20:37
Hi there.
What's the best way to format in my LaTeX document the names of buttons or other elements of my computer user interface I describe?
@omeinusch well, whatever you wish, for instance \newcommand\button[1]{\textsf{#1}}
btw, my question is "hot" :D

Q: Utili-key "knife" and airport inspection?

toheczI own and carry a Swiss Tech Utili-Key 6-n-1 Multitool: I love it and carry it with me everywhere. My concern is: Would it be officially allowed in cabin (inside Schengen)? If not, what are the possible consequences of carrying it with me?

@egreg I was actually expecting that. :)
I'll take a look on how it's done with L3 then.
@omeinusch menukeys, perhaps?
@PauloCereda Uh, that's cool.
@tohecz Thanks.
@FaheemMitha I updated my ubuntu linux and till now, I've had no problem... I am enjoying linux :))
@Johannes_B I am working with ubuntu linux, the speed of my system seems ok... I like it...
@Johannes_B Today, I updated my ubuntu installed on my system.
20:55
@Joseph: any newbie tutorial on l3keys? I actually get the idea, but I was wondering if there's something more accessible. :)
For stupid people newbies like me. :)
21:07
Hi @PauloCereda! Did you see my email, by chance?
21:42
@PauloCereda the one true keyval naturally.
@DavidCarlisle Another user who knows how to use the green tick button.
@egreg I commented (on my answer)
@DavidCarlisle You have too many! :P
@egreg sadly the OP declined the hint to move the tick, opting for a simple change of alignment package rather than an interesting balancing of the actions of \lastbox and \vadjust. No justice..
@DavidCarlisle Blame Donald Arsenau who caused the problem
21:54
@egreg simpler to blame you
 
1 hour later…
22:58
@AdamLiter Hi! Yes, I did. Answer later on today, hopefully. :)
@DavidCarlisle Hendri Adriaens', of course. :)
@PauloCereda go back to vim
disgraceful question titles today.
@DavidCarlisle I meant keyval, no need to be angry at me. :) Since I'm not well versed with expl3, I'll stick with the true keyval one. :)
@PauloCereda I'm an expert at expl3, ask @egreg
@DavidCarlisle Let's abuse use it, then. :)
@DavidCarlisle Let's ask @JosephWright to be an impartial referee.
23:09
@egreg Can I be one too?
@egreg he's too busy fixing latex builds to be bothered with such trivialities
@PauloCereda you can. after you have been interviewed for the tex.sx blog
@DavidCarlisle By the way, we haven't had interviews for long!
@egreg we should re-start with @PauloCereda
@egreg Indeed. Totally my fault. :( We should arrange one.
@egreg he just volunteered to be the next victim ^^^
23:12
@DavidCarlisle Nope. :)
@PauloCereda I see that Turkey didn't meet the expectations.
@egreg Neymar was inspired.
@PauloCereda Did we interview Harish?
Or @percusse? or @cfr?
@egreg ooh Harish would be a great name!
@egreg you are letting him off the hook
23:16
@DavidCarlisle That's my plan: all of them will refuse and @PauloCereda would remain the only candidate.
@egreg :)
@egreg your plan is no better than your answers.
@HarishKumar: Hi Harish! Could we interview you? :)
@egreg: by chance, do you have any easy-to-grasp l3keys example nearby? :)
@PauloCereda siunitx?
@DavidCarlisle I said easy. :) Something along the lines of a \foo[hello=world]{bar} :)
@egreg Grazie. :)
@egreg: it's (sort of) working, thank you! I think the L3 team was inspired by the great pioneer of key/value implementations, say, keyval. :)
@DavidCarlisle: ^^
