@AlanMunn -- probably not entirely obvious, but in each issue of tugboat, there's a column called "the treasure chest" that lists the new items on ctan. and anything that seems particularly worthwhile is highlighted with an asterisk. so if @cfr posts something new and useful, i could recommend the star treatment. (but probably too obscure for people who don't read documentation anyhow.)
@barbarabeeton I just submitted it. But CTAN might not want it, of course. (Or I might have packaged it wrongly, which I often manage to do.)
@barbarabeeton I am not sure people who don't read documentation are the target audience for additional documentation, so this might not really be a problem ;).
I'm trying to write a function that maps from the quotient set of some equivalence relation on a set X to another set Y, when I write it as $f:X/\sim\to Y$ the right-arrow is like practically touching the quotient set and I don't want that. Is there someway I can adjust this?
I assume people normally denote the quotient set as X/\sim is this wrong? That's how I've always done it but it looks funky.
In software engineering (especially XP) there is a commonly held belief that talking to a rubber duck will improve performance when debugging problematic code.
This technique is referenced in multiple places from well-respected blogs such as Coding Horror (in a post about improving the quality ...
I changed the equation numbering format to avoid the 0 when I don't have subsubsection. Output ex. :
Equation (1.1.a)
instead of
Equation (1.1.0.a)
But now, when I use the \ref or the \eqref commands, they are extra spacing before the parenthesis. Output ex. :
( 1.1.a )

@CarLaTeX Yummy! I still remember a dinner near Castellammare di Stabia, on the mountain, where we had it, together with a bunch of other wonderful dishes. It was something like 25 years ago.
@DavidCarlisle I see... I'm Italian, so you caught me... guilty as charged. A friend of mine calls non-italian pizza prazza since it's not pizza and non-italian people rarely hear the difference
@CarLaTeX -- looks absolutely yummy! never had friarielli on pizza, but can get it here quickly stir-fried (it's called "broccoli rabe"), and i'm very fond of it. (i might consider substituting anchovies for the salsiccia, but your salsiccia is probably better than the pepperoni that's usually found here as the staple pizza sausage.)
btw I'm trying to buy one of tufte's book (quantitative display etc…) do you know where to buy it in europe? The shipping fares from the US are quite high
@Johannes_B 50€, and it's not that expensive to me… the problem is that it's not directly available from amazon, so I'd like to find some other trusted vendor… you know…
@ilFuria German book sellers claim that Amaz... is causing them death. For a normal book, they can get it overnight if you want. Maybe ask your local book seller to get the book for you. Might be a bit extra, don't know.
@JosephWright as far as I can see yes, mainly I think internal refactoring (hence the ^@) and re-arranging libraries still I think pushed by the ffi support for dynamic loading shared libraries stuff
@DavidCarlisle Yes, that's why I wondered if you'd seen it: I was trying some stuff earlier on (at work) and had some strange line ends but thought it could be a mistake on that one system
@DavidCarlisle I might grab the Mac build from ConTeXt ...
@DavidCarlisle Yes, I just have to hit the right tipping point for the change
@DavidCarlisle Working through the issues: I have to update any test files that contain ^@ so it will take a little while to be sure I have every right
@JosephWright as I looked at a couple of diffs just now and it was all has with internal "tidying" of node pointer handling didn't look the sort of thing to be interface changes (could well be behaviour changes:-)
@DavidCarlisle Yes: that one went but I need to sort out the 2e side
@DavidCarlisle Just making sure I've fixed all of the .tlg files: needed to update luaotfload on my Windows system, which was problematic with a bust net connection
Anyone else have issues with TeXShop 3.77 on MacOS Sierra 10.12.4? I just updated the OS and TeXShop contantly crashes. I don't see much discussion about this issue so wondering if I am the only one having this problem. I did have MacTex 2016 installed before upgrading and reinstalled MacTeX2016 hoping that that would resolve the issue, but no such luck. Same issue with other versions as well.
@barbarabeeton I still don't know whether I shall come to Bachotek :-( There are some issues: It's quite expensive (EUR 275 + fuel about the same price) --- that's a lot. Then, the package I would speak about is not ready (and won't fully be by the time of the conference). And last but not least, I'm again ill (some cold/flu/whatever), which tells me I should relax more, and driving 2x10h is not much relaxing...
... and I don't think my funding will allow me to come to Rio in 2018 :-(
If at least someone travelled with me by car, but I really don't want to travel alone for such a distance :-(
