@Werner Thanks. Actually no I have not Gravatared. I don't know what caused today's change -- seemed to coincide with the 50K rep. The other day I made a minor change to my profile and it got changed then. But I did not make any changes today.
@Brent.Longborough Sorry been busy with a real typesetting system none of this tex nonsense. (libre office) I don't think I understand wysiwyg editors.
@DavidCarlisle In my last experience with LibreOffice (a friend was typing, of course) the enumerated lists had the peculiar habit of popping out showing dingbats instead of the numbers each time the file was reopened.
@egreg bingo (actually it was the bullet lists that went wrong) and they were only there in my (2007) test document to show I didn't mess up the normal text while getting the math to work
@Brent.Longborough ah same waterloo as maple etc wikipedia says Waterloo Script was created at the University of Waterloo later.[7] One version of SCRIPT was created at MIT and the AA/CS at UW took over project development in 1974. The program was first used at UW in 1975. In the 1970s, SCRIPT was the only practical way to word process and format documents using a computer. By the late 1980s, the SCRIPT system had been extended to incorporate various upgrades
@PauloCereda Oh, no, <usage> should be LIFO, I think, but when the list goes off the bottom of the page, we probably want the oldest entries hidden, rather than the newest. No?
@PauloCereda Calma. Just think of it as a LIFO queue, moving from 15 minutes of new fame at the top, moving down to sad oblivion scrolled off the bottom.
@Mr.Gundla "Eurotex International Limited completed a contract placed by a leading UK Government Support Agency to supply a fully refurbished and factory tested Paxman"
@JosephWright Yes, the banks make a fortune out of this. Besides charging the merchants way over the actual cost of processing (think cost vs price of SMS messages), they save fortunes on cash handling
There's also rounding, I guess. You can't take less than 1 [unit] per transaction, so if you take a percentage for small transactions you either loose out (unlikely for a bank), or have a floor.
@JosephWright that is strange, my moms works in a pharmacy in Czech Rep. and I know they have no problem with small amounts (other than that it takes longer to pay), because they simply count the money "+4%" and thats all
in the other words, I'm a bit starving
and I'm really looking forward to tomorrow, when I'm supposed to get my first scholarship, and to the authorities saying "but we cannot give you your money".
@tohecz I will have to concur with Joseph Wright, in DK there is also a small tariff on the card payment side. However, many businesses offer to pay that tariff. That means that they can decide how a minimum payment is required. Of course they could choose to let the customer pay it all, but that is another matter. :)
@zeroth ok, I wasn't aware of the details. But still, it's screwed. I know that Czech shopkeepers generally don't like you to pay small amounts by card, because it's more time-consumig. On the other hand, the "consensual minimal amount" is around 70 CZK = 3 EUR
@tohecz ok, that is nice, generally it is not a problem in DK, however, small businesses are likely to have a "minimum expendture" amount. I can see it is annoying if you are not used to it! Hope you got something to eat anyway!
And for example I have a "contactless" Czech credit card which can be used to pay up to 500 CZK (20 EUR) only by holding it next to the terminal. It works in some shops and I'm often paying around 30 CZK (less than 1.50EUR) this way.
Btw, I'm now really unhappy that I don't have a CitiBank card, because that one is fine for usage in French ATM
@PauloCereda I think I may be doing it wrong. I've been merging both from [marco] and from [master]; I should probably be merging only from [master]. No harm done, but it's noise in the log. From now on, although I'll pull [marco], I'll not merge it.
@PauloCereda I had a very nice experience with a Beetle of the Sixties! We were on a motorway and the clutch suddenly broke. We could, in some way, arrive to a parking area, where we pushed the car jumping in like in bobsleigh runs and we could make several km in second gear. :)
It was a bright orange pure German Beetle with a German driver.
:6325536: Cooll.. A combined row/column vector solution
Opps.. I get `! Undefined control sequence. \vector_main:nnnn #1#2#3#4->\seq_set_split:Nnn \l__vector_arg_seq {#3}{#4}\b...l.26 $\Rowvec{a} \Rowvec{a,b}\Rowvec[;]{a;b;c}$`
Ok, never mind seem to work on my MAc, but not PC version (so something wrong with that installation).
Should theorems, proposition, conjectures, etc. share a common counter?
For example, is the following good, for a theorem and a proposition to share the same number?
Theorem 1. ...
Proposition 1. ...
What about sharing numbering for conjectures?
@HarishKumar I've seen the draft. Could you imagine another example? I'll think to it. However, I'm always dubious in recommending packages by FC, not only because of the impossiblity to read the documentation (etextools is well known for the "peculiar features" in it).
@Gnintendo you can of course omit the .jpg usually and you can omit the images/ if the directory is in your tex input path or the graphics package \graphicspath
I printed a couple of pages that had some gray scale graphics on the University printer today, and they came out quite ugly. The printer seems to print gray scales by alternating between really small black and white dots. I've never really thought about this before, but I guess this is something that just mono-color printer does, right? Or should I expect the same result on a color printer?
"The Midnig..." This video is no longer available because the YouTube account associated with this video has been terminated due to multiple third-party notifications of copyright infringement.
@egreg Oh. There are some examples in the documentation. Actually I myself may not use it frequently. Can you please think of another example please. Let me search here also. One minute.
@PauloCereda Yeah, don't know why it was changed. Last week I made a minor edit to my profile and it changed. But this I did not change anything so not sure what happened.
Upon re-reading it I guess that you did not mean to imply there was an issue with \!, but some negative same amount different than what is produced by a \!.. I guess I tend to read things too quickly and jump to conclusions, so if others don't have this issue then leave it as.
