Anyone else enjoying some LuaLaTeX errors as of lately? I'm talking about stuff like this one:

Didn't install any new software, didn't update windows, my tex distribution, I essentially didn't change anything. Funny how it goes.

I can choose to ignore a battery of these errors to end up with a normal (viewable) PDF file. Not very beneficiary to the workflow, though. :-D

tug.org/pipermail/tex-live/2014-July/035643.html mentions it, but no answer/solution.

Oh and this happens on both my Personal Computer as well as my laptop. I can't be the only one, right?

@1010011010 $\operatorname{fl}$ is sufficient.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\begin{document}
$\operatorname{fl}$
\end{document}

@1010011010 Even less

\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
$\mathrm{fl}$
\end{document}

I guess the ligature creates some problem.

@1010011010 It has been fixed in the source: tug.org/pipermail/tex-live/2014-July/035644.html

@egreg Strange. I'm suddenly getting the error again on multiple seperate tex distros.

@1010011010 Not fixed in the current release!

@egreg That mail was from July 2? Or do you mean that my bug is really something else?

@1010011010 TeX Live never updates the binaries of the TeX engines between releases. The fix was made after the release of TeX Live 2014.

@1010011010 You have to live with the bug until TL 2015 is out (or compile LuaTeX yourself).

@egreg Or resort to the superior XeLaTeX!! :-)

hello everybody

you know how you can use \linewidth in a width= statement (in pgfplots) to set your graph to occupy the current linewidth? is it possible to do something like "width={linewidth/2} to have the graph take up half of the current linewdith?

@avghighschoolstudent width=.5\linewidth

oh, cool, thank you

Anyone know about knots?

@PauloCereda Quack! from eastern Bohemia :)

@tohecz Hi Tom! :) Back home?

@PauloCereda not really, out for scout Christmas :)

@DavidCarlisle: A French answer, wow. :)

@tohecz ooh!

@PauloCereda oh well. Unfortunately, no capitalization

@tohecz and it wasn't my fault (of course)

@PauloCereda was there?

@DavidCarlisle Some pyramid thingy. :)

@PauloCereda oh that, thought it was Portuguese:-)

@DavidCarlisle Non. :P

@PauloCereda oh là là!

@PauloCereda Hard day, yesterday?

@egreg Very hard. :( But I'm alive. :)

@PauloCereda Long trip?

@egreg Yep, and heavy traffic.

Wow, Stefan is patient -> latex-community.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=86607#p86607

s/Stepah/Stefan/

@PauloCereda Not as much traffic as here.

whisteling the duck song to keep the silence away

I am amazed and shocked at the same time. I only saw 2 Qs so far. But this is madness, utter madness. tex.stackexchange.com/users/67656/dasag latex-community.org/forum/…

Comic Sans alert!

@egreg I guess I want to give building LuaLaTeX a go. Where can I find the source? I can only find LuaTeX at github.com/pgundlach/LuaTeX/tree/master/source. If that's even the right one....

@1010011010 It should be foundry.supelec.fr/scm/?group_id=10

BEEEEAMMEEEEEERRRRR

I LOL'd. :)

Legend: I got this I got this OH NO!

@Johannes_B I'm just trying to relieve work of the best moderator on LaTeX-Community.org, so your precious work there might become a bit easier.

@Johannes_B Not that I read the message "I dont want your advice, only want latex code" of that user (and similar) I think I could have saved time. :-)

@Johannes_B Talking at the LaTeX forum is relaxing since it doesn't strictly require searching for duplicates first but can just be welcoming a new user and having a talk about LaTeX things. :-)

@StefanKottwitz There's a lot to be said for that :)

@SeanAllred A TeX users regulars' table in the pub. Blonde girl arrives with the "LaTeX Beginner's Guide" in the hand and asks for the way. Regulars mumble "It's a dupe." Welcome to the SE table. :-)

@StefanKottwitz Table of TeX regulars. One of them, handing his book to a fellow TeXer, says: "I've checked it so carefully that I'm quite sure there's no typo left”. The bearded TeX regular opens the book at random, eyes a page and spots a typo.

@egreg A feedback on the book I mentioned above? :-)

@StefanKottwitz No, this really happened. ;-) Guess who was the bearded TeX wizard.

David? :-) Well generally this must happen, I feel there's a blind spot for own typos, as I experienced.

Table of TeX regulars. One of them shows a book and proudly says, "Made with LaTeX". Another bloke opens the book at random and shakes his fists, "FANCYCHAP!".

@Cahe: hello fellow Brazilian! :)

@PauloCereda hi there :) You've got a mail ;)

@PauloCereda Which happened when a student showed me the notes by a colleague. :(

@tohecz Thank you, Tom! :) You'll get one soon. :P

@egreg Oh no. :(

@PauloCereda well, I'll be checking the postbox every day ;)

@tohecz ooh! :)

latex newb here. I want to learn Latex but there is so much reading to do! Once Im done, writing my papers, I allways forget to look at latex again. are there any great interactive, latex learning websites or programs out there? if it maters, I use texStudio in windows

@BrookeFogg-Wolfe Hello there! There's actually a nice intro available! Hold on.

@Brooke: Here! dickimaw-books.com/latex

Nicola has a wonderful introduction to LaTeX.

It's surely worth a look. :)

@PauloCereda given the season you could suggest xii?

@DavidCarlisle Five gooold rings! :)
