@TorbjørnT. Ok, France, but not Germany or Italy ;-)

yo'

@TorbjørnT. French players are slow, they have to wade through all the trash, and if they're lucky, Italians will have a siesta during the match, so the only ones left are Germans.

Torbjørn T.

@yo' Well, you know what Gary Lineker said about football ...

LaTeX for complete novices doesn't explicitely mention that labels have to come after the caption. Do you guys think this should be added?

Christian Hupfer

@Johannes_B No -- we don't have enough wrong posts about this yet -- easy rep gain ;-)

He has also worked for Al Jazeera Sports, Eredivisie Live, NBC Sports Network and currently hosts BT Sport's coverage of the UEFA Champions League. Lineker began his football career at Leicester City. Despite failing to score in his first ten games, he finished as the First Division...

@ChristianHupfer You got a FB message. A user that drives me mad every now and then, which i have told multiple times to use a forum, just got that message.

The paying option was, to be honest, just for my personal amusement. :-)

Not exactly a programming question, but there's a Knuth quote going around that I've not been able to source yet. Does anyone have any idea where this is from? If it's accurate, I'd like to cite it correctly:

*People think that computer science is the art of geniuses but the actual reality is the opposite: just many people doing things that build on each other, like a wall of mini stones.*

Hi, dropping in here at the request of @yo'. Over on this question (math.stackexchange.com/questions/1833459/…), I've talked a bit about how I use speech to text software to write LaTeX. I'm happy to discuss and/or answer questions. Also open to suggestions and constructive criticism. My system works but is still rather hacky.
