@barbarabeeton oh but I had a Hawaii yesterday and it was so good!

@UlrikeFischer oh it was the 2020 latex, but still texlive 2019...

@yo' @CarLaTeX just crossed you off her Christmas card list.

@DavidCarlisle ;-). Why do I get hyperref test failures from xetex test? Did something change in the build.lua? The one test can never have worked with this engine.

quack

@UlrikeFischer not me (I think)

@PauloCereda brunch

@DavidCarlisle oh no

@UlrikeFischer let me try here

@UlrikeFischer huh they are all failing for me, it's just started and I see

Running checks on
  38-pdfminorversion (1/8)
          --> failed

  81-gobble-thanks (2/8)
          --> failed

  87-pdf2 (3/8)
          --> failed

  o50-footnotesspaces (4/8)
          --> failed

@DavidCarlisle yes but the failures are quite expected with xetex. The question is why suddenly xetex is used here. Somehow the checkengines setting has been commented.

@UlrikeFischer oh it's OK,, see the log updates to doc and build after comments from @pablgonz we can blame @PabloGonzálezL

@UlrikeFischer it was using a shell script for the build and just used l3build for checking but now it uses l3build for building as well but something must have slipped.

@DavidCarlisle ah ok. I uncommented the checkengine/build setting and try again.

The one test fails because pdftex now knows pdfmajorversion ;-)

@UlrikeFischer see the block commented as -- temp settings disable checks while testing ctan build that was supposed to be temporary settings while getting the new build code working (skipping checks) it's only been partially reverted but it should all be deleted now)

@UlrikeFischer You really can't trust @JosephWright he's always breaking tests

@DavidCarlisle ooh

@DavidCarlisle lots of failures now in the pdf-tests because of the change in the font numbering. I will recreate them in the afternoon. Have to do some shopping now.

@DavidCarlisle that's possible :)

@yo' You're not Italian, are you? :)

@CarLaTeX no, not really :-)

@yo' So you're excused

@PauloCereda -- what a cutie! thanks.

wow

two palindromes for the price of one

@DavidCarlisle ooh

@DavidCarlisle -- and an ideally placed comma too! well done!

\begin{frame}\structure{Goal:} Foo\\\hfill Bar\end{frame}

Why doesn't this put Bar to the right in Beamer?

@ComFreek Use \mbox{}\hfill

ah is that for the same reason why ...\\\quad doesn't work?

but \null\quad does?

indeed \null\hfill also works!

MY MAC IS STUCK IN CAPSLOCK.

@AlanMunn OH NO

@PauloCereda Weird software glitch. Only restarting solved it, and for some, apparently resetting the PRAM.

@AlanMunn oh my

@AlanMunn wellatleastthespacebarwasnt'tdisabledohwaitthiscouldalsobel3codeafterall...

@AlanMunn That would be a problem. Given the complete lack of usefulness of the CapsLock, I remapped it to Compose ;-) --- I'd have problems even to reboot with that one stuck.

@AlanMunn PERFECT FOR WRITING FORTRAN OR COBOL CODE

@HaraldHanche-Olsen I wrote all my Fortran code in lower case, and freaked out all the engineers I worked with. :) I took a course in COBOL once, but that was all on punch cards.

@AlanMunn YOU ARE MEAN
