@egreg -- that's what one gets in bermuda. gordon nearly ran off the road on such a roundabout -- not used to circulating clockwise.
@AGoldMan -- i remember driving in england and the weather was quite nice, but when i started across the bridge over the severn heading into wales, the most fearful hailstorm attacked; it stopped as soon as we got to the other side. most peculiar.
I am handling a paper as an associate editor that proposed an algorithm that I find to be weak. In fact, I was able to show that a very simple, brute-force approach actually has a better running time than their algorithm. Therefore, I will recommend rejecting this paper. Do I have an obligatio...
@PauloCereda Which reminds me of something the free microchip compiler for their 8-bit chips did. It tried to suggest people to use the paid version because it does better optimization. In reality most of the optimization was to leave out all those NOPs the compiler spilled out in free mode...
I think bbb does what you ask, but the automatic size is too big in any case so it looks better if you do ccc with manually chosen size, which also then makes it easy to use the same size in all cases.

@nathdwek as it says there though 99 times out of a 100 you are better using \bigl and friends than \left\right
@alhelal luatex can do this but classic tex has no net access (it is older than the internet:-)
@alhelal you can use --shell-escape then run wget or curl or some other such program to download the files but it's simpler just to do that first and get local copies of everything.
@PauloCereda With iTerm2, you can get that information as a decoration of the terminal window, in front of the failed command, rather than the one after. (↓↓)
@PauloCereda The main developer, Paul Haahr, quit quite abruptly in 1997, I think. I have found a few bug fixes here and there in the odd git repository since. My current version is based on the 0.9-beta2 release, made in December 2000!
I am reminded of some science fiction story in which software archaeologist is a recognised profession: Rather than writing code to solve problems, these people find solutions in old software, often thousands of years old.
@Skillmon you can have only 2 lines of frequent websites on about:newtab. And the thumbnails are so small you can't see anything on them. In old firefox, I have three lines and the thumbnails are huge.
@PauloCereda you mean: shitty, empty-looking, bizzare, unusable?
@JosephWright yes although injecting \unskip at the end of random groups where the colour changes seems a bit brave (but adding a defensive \kern after the \leader in colortbl probably makes sense anyway.
@JosephWright is the missing definition for \@currname the correct solution here tex.stackexchange.com/q/403845/2388? Or is there something wrong in the expl3 changes?
@JosephWright Thanks I added an answer to the new question.
@JosephWright btw: with older expl3 versions it worked without it, but now there is \@pushfilenameaux which obviously expects something like "two commands and an argument" behind it.
@alhelal posting images of source is really not a good way to get debugging help you are better to post question as questions on the question and answer part of the site, with source being complete test document as code so people can reproduce the problem and test answers.
Earlier there was an issue where Dropbox and latex did not play well. Have anyone heard of similar issue with onedrive? I'm seen a Mac user demonstrate a situation where after compilation the aux file had size zero, after we disabled onedrive sync and recompiled the aux was back to normal. The Mac onedrive app did not seem to be particularly configurable.
Hi, today @daleif pointed me to \tableum from siunitx. so far i was not aware about it (because i only read section 5.12 in manual .-( ). it works fine with simple number align. however i was lost in case at use of comparators. for example use \tablenum[table-format=2.2]{< .01} gives error: "no space reserved for comparator on line ...". google so far not help me much.
cont. : use of option for S column in \tablenum optoions also not working. can anyone tell me, where i can find more detailed information about use of \tablenum?
-- okay, so i'm using "LaTeX2e <2016/03/31> patch level 2" (which may be the problem). error: ! Missing ) inserted for expression. <to be read again> ( l.9 Here is some math: $ \textrm{zzäöæømm} \neq \textit{zzäöæømm} \neq ?
(indentations lost, of course. also, should be a linebreak before \neq.)
(oops! linebreaks are okay, but indentation is gone.)
@DavidCarlisle -- i'll send you the file and the log offline (tomorrow -- my charioit awaits). very puzzled. was trying to see if \ddot (math accent) looks the same as the text accented letter, but didn't get that far.
