Is it possible to watch recordings of the TUG conference if I missed the live stream?

Could someone test this answer whether copying line numbers is suppressed even when \usepackage[spanish]{babel} is used, please? The OP and I get differing results.
 
8:40 AM
@DavidCarlisle Can't TUG be both a development group and a user group? And currently which one of those do you think it is?
 
8:52 AM
@FaheemMitha Well it is and has been, but the problem is that today most users simply don't want (need?) to pay to join a 'user' group
@FaheemMitha The trend is the same in other programming languages: once you needed to be in a user group to access software and support, and that's no longer true
@FaheemMitha This came up at the AGM
@Skillmon I'll check with Paulo Ney de Souza this morning (so in about three hours)
@FaheemMitha Ask yourself this: what would a typical end user get from being a member of a user group that they can't get otherwise? In Germany, DANTE have regular physical meet-ups, but they are atypical.
 
9:45 AM
@JosephWright They could be part of meetups, yes. Otherwise, I'm not sure.
 
10:22 AM
@FaheemMitha Exactly
 
11:00 AM
@JosephWright Thanks a lot!

@Skillmon I've checked: they will be (with permission of the speakers)
 
2:08 PM
@JosephWright awesome. Thank you a lot again :)

Hi, I'm getting a weird spacing error:

This is the sample code ^

Any idea what's happening?

@Blue If you have a MWE, ask a question.

Has much more spacing between the words than the other lines
 
Though your example looks like it could do with some more stripping down.
But unlike some questions asked here, I expect you'll get an answer, since it seems like a pretty concrete question.
Hi folks. I'm looping over a document and selecting different values for a bunch of parameters in order to generate a form letter.
Pretty routine stuff. But I'm also trying also add references inside those letters, using a manual counter. Is there any way to create a bunch of counters, one for each of the separate letters in the loop? Currently I have only one, which I'm thinking won't work. Because it will keep getting overwritten.
(I suspect this isn't the clearest question, but I'm hoping this is a well-known issue, and someone can point me to the answer. Otherwise I'll have to painfully construct an MWE, which won't be so M in this case.)

Q: Fixing spacing between words within `\thanks{}`

BlueThis is a sample LaTeX code: \documentclass[aps,twocolumn,groupeaddress,showkeys]{revtex4-1} \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} \usepackage{pgfplots} \usepackage{tabularx} \usepackage[colorlinks=true,linkcolor=blue,citecolor=blue,urlcolor=blue]{hyperref} \begin{document} \title{Test} \author{$^1$abc}...

I hope that's a good MWE :P
 
5:59 PM
@Blue Looks good. I generally try to confirm that everything included is actually necessary, usually by taking it out and seeing if it breaks compilation.
Anyway, upvoted.
 
6:15 PM
@JosephWright Does TUG offer institutional "commercial" support for TeX? As opposed to individuals offering their services?

@Blue it looks fairly normal if you have a justified paragraph but an unbreakable box for the email then the only thing tex can do is stretch the space, do you want to set the paragraph raggedright or allow a linebreak in the email
 
8:12 PM
@FaheemMitha No
 
8:23 PM
@JosephWright Ok.

@DavidCarlisle Thanks. For now, I removed the three "these authors contributed equally to the work" with just one. Works fine!
 
8:49 PM
Are there any heuristics for how to use a star argument? Which version of a command should get the star, and which should not?
 
9:14 PM
@FaheemMitha do you mean defining your own command, or using existing ones?
 
9:31 PM
@DavidCarlisle Defining my own commands.
 
why, may I ask, is there no "oxford comma" in the title of this room?
 
In Brazil you are neither allowed to feed Mico nor marmots (@marmot) (typo corrected by me):

@user2236 I agree, there should be an Oxford comma.
 
Perhaps, there is opposition to it?
 
@user2236 Opposition to an Oxford comma?

yes

Please star^, if you prefer this
 
10:07 PM
@user2236 Hm. Perhaps we could take the comma from the reputations. What do you mean @DavidCarlisle?
 
@FaheemMitha well in that case it's up to you there really isn't any general rule it's just like choosing ttwo commands \foobarA and \foobarB by giving them those names you just give a hint to the the user that they are some way related.
@user2236 I live in oxford and don't prefer that:-)
@UlrikeFischer what do I mean when?
 
@DavidCarlisle the reputation on the main site. If the comma is needed here, one could write there 173 527 or 173.527 instead of 173,527. Much better looking in term of palindromes and other considerations.
 
@FaheemMitha @user2236 it's called the oxford comma as it's a strange quirk of oxford university press that you may have to use if getting things published there.
