quack

Personally, I think the name ShtThesis somehow might give the wrong impression...

@Skillmon oh no

@PauloCereda Morning

@JosephWright top of the morning, kind duck sir :)

@PauloCereda Do you know this problem?

@samcarter_says_quack Cat code error? ;)

@JosephWright :D probably!

@samcarter_says_quack ooh

Personally I think that this user is on the right track to diagnose the problem:

@samcarter_says_quack LOL

For this year's Lent period, I promised myself I won't be going out too much. What about you?

@yo' same here! And I will try to cut some candies and sweets.

@samcarter_says_quack @CarLaTeX @UlrikeFischer hmmmmmm twitter.com/ProfvonQuak

@PauloCereda Oh, that's a crazy duck :)

@samcarter_says_quack :)

@PauloCereda Oh I should create a Prof. van Duck profile at once!

@CarLaTeX :)

@CarLaTeX @egreg @DavidCarlisle ^^

@PauloCereda Lol

@samcarter_says_quack OH MY

@samcarter_says_quack That's fine. I'll just use banana instead. :p

@Plergux ooh a pointed stick

@PauloCereda Well, don't come crying to me when some lunatic comes after you with a bunch of loganberries!

@UlrikeFischer @DavidCarlisle As part of using the Lua callback in luacolor, I changed the code to no longer load atbegshi (at least if the callback is available). That could be problematic if code relies in \AtBeginShipout being available when luacolor is loaded, but I would consider that acceptable.

When we are done testing this one of you will have to upload the new version, I don't think I'm authorized to upload luacolor.

@MarcelKrüger yes, I think packages shouldn't expect that other packages load their requirements, so dropping atbegshi is fine with me.

@MarcelKrüger we can certainly upload, but I could send you a ho-tex invite, which might be simpler?

@DavidCarlisle I am a ho-tex member (at least on GitHub), but I don't know what the protocol is for uploading ho-tex things to CTAN.

@MarcelKrüger oh you are already in ho-tex (you can upload to ctan if you give the not very secret ho-tex email address as your email)

@Plergux That's fine, I won't take the pizza away from you :)

@MarcelKrüger I got a few failures with lualatex, but they are ok. But we don't have a setup to test against lualatex-dev.

@DavidCarlisle Oh, I found it now.

@UlrikeFischer Yes, I considered adding the lualatex-dev but currently my luatex produces slightly different log files than the normal ones, so I can't easily produce tlg files right now.

@Plergux oh no

@samcarter_says_quack :D

A question for the windows 10 users: which is the X server you use with WSL2? (They are forcing me to Windows here... grrrr.... )

@Rmano Xming

@JosephWright Gracias

@Rmano I use cygwin but only as I have cygwin set up anyway as normal working environment

@DavidCarlisle given that they gave me just a small disk (200G!) I'll try wsl+Xming route first, thanks anyway!

@DavidCarlisle @Rmano ^^

@Plergux had to search for them... (the loganberries, I mean): seriouseats.com/2014/08/…

I like a lot cloudberries (tasted a "grappa" in Finland) but they're unknown here (minus IKEA, I mean, where you can find jam).

@PauloCereda Shorter beard and more hair, but well ---

@Rmano We have a variant here called "ram berries" (Rubus saxatilis, the cloudberry is Rubus chamaemorus). They are very tasty :) The small shrubs are always recognizable by their "creepers" :p

@Rmano :)

@Plergux ooh a shrub! NI!

@PauloCereda heh heh heh... tasty shrubbery :p

@samcarter_says_quack -- I rather like the idea of an "electromagnetic cat field". Actually, I suspect it's static. (I suffer from a similar effect, though in a different context. Elevators that have call buttons without microswitches, but depend only on touch, are often impervious to my attempts to activate them, and I've often had to wait for several minutes to be rescued. Stairs are an alternative only for a few floors and if stairway doors aren't locked from the stairwell.)

@barbarabeeton Maybe you could try to carry a cat with you, who will press the button for you?

@samcarter_says_quack -- That's an idea I hadn't thought of.

@barbarabeeton Just make sure to keep the cat away from the knitting gear or the yarn will me too much fun to play with :)

@samcarter_says_quack I got cold chills reading that :/

@samcarter_says_quack -- Oh, I've had that problem. It gives one a very thorough education in how to untangle random knots.

@DavidCarlisle -- Might be worth adding this "implicit request" to the amsmath bugs/requests queue. The original design was that only automatically numbered or \[eq]refed equations would be tracked. But now that "List of equations" is also being requested (although I'm not sure what a list of only numbers or tags is useful for), enabling \tag as an xref seems worthwhile.

@Plergux ooh

I wonder, does Vim or Emacs have any extension for a symbol palette? (and please Vimmers, don't kill me for mentioning Emacs and vice versa)

@yo' What's a symbol palette for you? Typing C-x 8 RET lets you insert every unicode character by name in emacs (with proper packages even with fuzzy matches so you don't need to type the full name).

@barbarabeeton I must admit that I find untangling knots rather relaxing - well all knots besides the ones in hair, these are just annoying

@TeXnician ^^ something like this

@yo' Ahh, that would be far too graphical for me to know :D

@samcarter_says_quack -- Knots in hair hurt, and the diameter of hair means that one may need a very thin implement to pick them apart, which isn't at all efficient when they're on one's own head. Yarn is much more tractable, unless maybe it's mohair.

Don Knot

:)

@yo' in vim you have quite a set with :h digraph.

@Rmano That's quite a different thing, sorry for confusion. I really meant a LaTeX symbol palette, like the one in TeXpad above.

@yo' oh --- I don't know, I have detexify on the tablet and I use that ;-)

@Plergux -- When I have a choice, I prefer something that grows on or is generated by a living creature. Silk is very nice, and I've seen some marvelous textiles created from spider silk guide-lines. But the fiber I've most enjoyed knitting with is hand-spun bison wool. It's incredibly soft, and immensely warm. I've never had the opportunity to knit with qiviut, but suspect that might be even nicer.

@barbarabeeton yeah, I don't touch silk. gives me the creeps. tactile aversion :p I just buy whatever I can afford when I feel like buying yarn. :p

@Plergux -- Golly, you live in a place populated with sheep that have some of the nicest wool I've ever found. I hope you don't ignore that, although it seems to have gotten quite expensive. Maybe you could consider taking up spinning, and start with a raw fleece.

@barbarabeeton I know. And surprisingly, usually the Icelandic wool is among the cheapest (but still expensive). However, I can't really wear wool (I start sweating like a pig just looking at wool :p) and the kid won't wear it either (scratchy) and I've not had the time or inclination to plan any bigger or more intricate projects that I could use wool for. Maybe when I've finished with this "blessed" thesis I can start something I'm gonna need resolve to finish. :p

@Plergux -- Oh, okay. Then it's time to nag you to pay attention to your thesis. (How are your advisors reacting to it? Not too many calls for revisions, I hope.)

@barbarabeeton Heh heh heh... I have not heard from them yet. Hopefully soon, but apparently they have months of allowance for how long they can take :|

@Plergux -- Phoo! That's unfriendly. I hope they move their deliberations higher on their to-do lists.

Today the temperature went from -23°C to -6°C in 4 hours. Rising indeed!

@JairoA.delRio Amazing that people still think these things are things you can/should say.

@AlanMunn After Brexit, it isn't that astounding, but it doesn't make it less awful to hear

@JairoA.delRio True.
