@AlanMunn There are now 110 questions left tagged with resume to be retagged. You can continue it doing it in the manner you find adequat. I will stop it now. And this is the next question needed to be retagged:
Suppose I have a resume made in LaTeX. I want to line up the margin of a specific section (or multiple sections, such that it lines up with the rest of the main text of the page. In particular, I want to line up the text in Margin1 and Margin2 below, such that the text in \itemize ends before the...
@Mensch I have no time nor inclination to do the retagging, and I wasn't trying to get you to stop, just to moderate your tagging activities over some days so that the front page doesn't get flooded. This is not just my personal opinion, but something that many of us think is important.
Wikipedia states the following:
A résumé [...] is a document used by persons to present their backgrounds and skills. Résumés can be used for a variety of reasons, but most often they are used to secure new employment. A typical résumé contains a "summary" of relevant job experience and edu...
Worked perfectly, thanks! I needed to follow these steps: miktex.org/faq/local-additions and then register this path through the MikTex Console: %USERPROFILE%\Roaming\MiKTeX\mytexmf. Just putting the *.sty file in the same directory as the actual main document worked as well. — s6hebern9 mins ago
@JosephWright I was just wondering if it was suitable for casual debugging. For those times where you see an error but it's not clear where the problem really is.
@FaheemMitha I often use it for debugging expandable code, where you can't \show or anything like that. For non-expandable code I prefer other approaches. Few lines of TeX code make a lot of expansion steps in unravel. I'd say it's really useful, but not always.
@DavidCarlisle Does that mean it will error out if it doesn't recognize a primitive?
@PhelypeOleinik I see. I was just thinking of using it as an additional debugging aid. Though I don't usually have major issues figuring out errors. But sometimes TeX errors can be very obscure.
@FaheemMitha given that the above is the only primitive that has been added to pdftex in the last 15 years and it knows about all the others (and knows about \expanded but assumes it is luatex-only) this isn't a major issue.
@FaheemMitha Yes, I usually debug with \traceon, which is mostly makes it much faster to spot the problem, but some times that isn't enough (!), so I resort to unravel.
@PhelypeOleinik I should use that more, I habitually use \tracingall but that's somewhat verbose if you have a beamer document using tikz and expl3....
@FaheemMitha Real short: \expanded{stuff} it's an expandable \edef\x{stuff}\x (with some small differences). To enable it in unravel just move the line \__unravel_tex_primitive:nnn { expanded } { convert } { 34 } (1268 in my version) outside the \sys_if_engine_luatex:T conditional. I have that done in my copy.
@FaheemMitha The trace package provides \traceon and \traceoff. The main advantages are: 1) they are shorter to write than \tracingall and \tracingnone and 2) they can be conditionally disabled in parts of TeX code which you are not interested. For instance, \tracingall hello\textbf{hello}\tracingnone produces more than 1000 lines of .log, while \traceon hello\textbf{hello}\traceoff produces 250.
@FaheemMitha xparse now supports the trace package, so \traceon\someXparseCommand{...}\traceoff is a lot shorter than \tracingall\someXparseCommand{...}\tracingnone.
@FaheemMitha No, certain macros do \conditionally@traceoff to temporarily switch off \traceon, and \conditionally@traceon to turn it back on. For an example, see the definition of \__msg_use:nnnnnnn in expl3-code.tex:
@DavidCarlisle Hm. Apparently, they have added it to the binary but neglected to document it. This is certainly the first time I have heard about it, outside of luatex! (I think.)
@FaheemMitha Because most of the time you aren't interested in the log produced by the error message, just in the message itself. So you assume that the error message code is correct and forget about it.
@FaheemMitha In that case, then you do \tracingall :-)
@JosephWright do one need \color@begingroup in expl3 boxes? (I just found in xsavebox \hbox_set:Nn\l_tmpa_box{\color@begingroup some text A \color@endgroup})
@JosephWright I think I messed something up with my latest commit... DOS/Unix line ending stuff. Is it possible to undo a commit or do I just commit again the correct code?
I suspect Git's UI isn't the best or friendliest, but I've not really had enough exposure to form definitive opinion. Preliminary contact has not been promising.
@FaheemMitha now almost everything at work is svn apart from a couple of projects in git and all my own projects or open source collaborations are in git
@JosephWright I have been looking at the xform/xobject code. xsavebox wants a non-immediate version to be able to insert them only when used. But for xelatex this means going through the aux, so I have tendency to ignore this for the moment ... what do you think?
@FaheemMitha for a highly centralised project which does have a reference repository it really makes no difference, and svn is simpler. But really as with many projects using svb, they were cvs before that and upgrading to svn was straight forward but switching to git would be highly costly and have no clear advantages (switching to anything else not even a consideration)
@FaheemMitha I saw a survey that suggested it was still more projects than git for non public repositories (github dominates public repositories of course)
@FaheemMitha Yeah, but what I mean is that the developers actually using the system are not necessarily the people making the policy decision on what source control to use
@JosephWright I don't think so, most other uses for xform I found are immediate. \pbs_pdfxform:nnnnn has an argument: #2 =1 means immediate, but I find this a bit odd, two commands looks better. But how to name the immediate version if we want to keep the possibilty open that a non-immediate variant will be needed?
@FaheemMitha person time (it is a massive repository with every edit to every page and until recently (when they started using github) every edit to every spec draft) going back to 1998 or so together with integration into a load balancing web server that gives the public view and deals with some ridiculous number of page requests, so in practice new spec development now done in git but the core CVS infrastructure is still in place
@FaheemMitha A presupposition is a statement that is presumed to be part of the common ground of discourse between speakers. So e.g. if I say "My brother is tall" that presupposes that I have a brother. When David talks about "All my questions" that presupposes the existence of at least some questions. Since David hasn't asked any questions, such sentences are said to exhibit presupposition failure.
@JosephWright now sounds good. Is shipout right? They are only used when referenced. Do you think one should always store the dimensions of an xobject for later access?
@FaheemMitha When you responded skeptically to David's claim abut having used both mercurial and SVN (your "empty set" comment) you assumed that he was making the same kind of presuppositional failure sentence he is known for. But in this case it wasn't a presupposition failure.
@JosephWright \pdf__backend_object_write:nn is immediate, so perhaps \pdf__backend_xform_write:nnnn for the immediate and if needed \pdf__backend_xform_write_later:nnnn for the non-immediate version.
@FaheemMitha Well I'm British too, although I grew up in Canada. And @DavidCarlisle and I rarely (if ever) fail to get each other's jokes which is a sign we share a very similar outlook on humour.
@AlanMunn Interesting to note that in Pennsylvania, they have Centre County (I spent a year there). I wonder when the spelling changed. Or perhaps some emacs user accidentally hit C-t?
@HaraldHanche-Olsen Pennsylvania is one of the original 13 states, so there are plenty of old spellings around. And the US spellings promoted by Webster were proposed in the early 1800s.
@FaheemMitha Well becoming a Canadian citizen made me Canadian. :) But I didn't do that until I left for grad school in the US. But yes, I do also consider myself Canadian. But I certainly had a fairly British upbringing at home.
@FaheemMitha The principles are the same, really. And there are plenty of differences between British and Canadian culture. It also depends on the attitude people have to being immigrants "We're here to make a new life in this country" vs "We're in the colonies. Best put up with it." Mine was a bit more of the latter than the former. :)
@AlanMunn Plenty of differences? Really? For example? I know a little about the UK, and probably less about Canada. But I don't see dramatic differences. Of course, the UK is culturally distinct from Canada (and the US).
BTW, "Bend it Like Beckham" is a file about UK/Indian cultural clashes, and I'd say that some of the time, at least, it's in the ballpark.
Actually, there is a fair amount of Indian stereotyping there, but that doesn't necessarily make it inaccurate.
@FaheemMitha I'm not saying that the differences are as big as that; they're not, but there are plenty of things that are quite distinct. Canadian and American culture are much closer to each other (in some ways) than they are to British culture.
@FaheemMitha Some examples: (as regards raising children) N. Americans (generally) think that organized sport for children is important. N. Americans tend to keep children and adults separated in ways that are strange to Europeans (e.g. children not eating with the adults). N. Americans have a different interaction with nature (more outdoorsy in the hiking and camping sense). Many N. Americans hunt. And then there's British food. I assume you've had Marmite? :)
"Bend it Like Beckham" isn't an accidental mention. I recall watching that film with decidedly mixed feelings. It pushed a lot of buttons for me. For one thing, I had a hard time picking a side to identify with.
@FaheemMitha Apart from the "you either love it or you hate it" slogan, I think you need very early exposure to like it. Just like learning a language, there's a critical period. :)
hi, just a question which I think is out of scope of this site but it may have an answer from its users. I have many different pdf documents in my archive including papers, ebooks, handnotes, etc. How do you manage your pdf documents? Condition gets worse when I want to read them on the go on my tablet and my laptop in different hours of the day. Software like mendeley do not have a cloud storage to store my files there. They cannot also connect to dropbox or other share apps...
Could you please share your own archiving methods, organizing files, etc...
@EnthusiasticEngineer My organization method is one of general disorganization and good searching fu :) For this method to work it helps to name files well. I use BibDesk on a Mac, which does do a good job of managing PDFs of anything that has a proper bibliographic reference. Drag and drop onto the the entry and it files and renames it automatically for me. Everything is in the cloud.
@FaheemMitha I think cleverness is an independent property. For example, if you use some code that isn't really designed to be used that way, it might be very clever, but it's still may not be the best way to solve the problem.
@CarLaTeX Well, I did not have a look into the question, it should be the next to be checked in the resume list. I deleted my two lists being the basis for correctly tagging (related filenames and existing related tags for cv). End of action ...
