QUAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK

@PauloCereda Oh good, one fearless duck is keeping watch in the chat room!

Paulo Cereda

@samcarter ooh a stealth duck

@IanAGutierrez Denial: *Reruns non-working code several times* Anger: This should be working, it's R's fault! Bargaining: Maybe if I remove these parentheses? Please work..? Depression: My code never works. Acceptance: I'll just copy and paste something from stackoverflow.

@samcarter I'm imagining to be on tour. ;-)

@egreg Where is your imaginary tour leading you? Is there nice imaginary ice cream?

egreg

@samcarter Somewhere in the mountains. The ice cream is included, of course.

3:46 PM

@egreg Mountains and ice cream: @marmots are probably near by :)

egreg

@samcarter And invisible dwarves too.

@egreg You can make them visible with \uncover<+>{dwarf}

@egreg @samcarter Ironically, I read this question's title as the quest for a symbol that indicates invisibility. Sadly, it is indivisibility. Otherwise we might have \invisible\dwarf...

@marmot Such a symbol would be really useful - how else would one know that there is something invisible?

@samcarter I think that this symbol already exists. The only problem is that it is invisible. ;-)

7:05 PM

@marmot Please don't tell me that the symbol to indicate the invisibility ahead symbol to be also invisible

@samcarter Well, given that nobody seems to have seen such a symbol, this seems to be a very plausible explanation, doesn't it?

I just got two palindromes

@JouleV you really need a downvote to get you off that cycle

Harald Hanche-Olsen

A bit of drama in my corner of the world … but it seems things are getting somewhat under control.

@JouleV My number of gold badges has been a palindrome at all times. ;-)

8:01 PM

@marmot "so far"? Yes. But "at all times"? I don't think so :)

@DavidCarlisle LOL

Q: Issue with ciruitikZ package

8:38 PM

I'm trying to use the option RPvoltages for the package circuitikZ version 0.8.3 but I get the following error message: ! LaTeX Error: Unknown option `RPvoltages' for package `circuitikz'. This option however, is mentioned in the package manual (link) If I omit this option, the package produces...

CarLaTeX

@HaraldHanche-Olsen Ooooh, @StefanKottwitz: is one of your ships?

I love how someone has trouble because the software is out-of-date, and some others also have trouble, but because the software is not yet released.
