@DavidCarlisle If I undo the changes, it will go back into the change approval queue (I'm approaching 2000 reputation, and this will no longer be an issue soon, thankfully). I think the best approach would be to wait and to ask a more broad question and see your beautiful boxes :)

@EmanueleNardi I could delete "with tcolorbox" without bothering the queue

@DavidCarlisle good idea

@EmanueleNardi done

Is this monarchy going to end at some point in the future? 😂

I'll take the opportunity to ask @egreg if he would be willing to come to Trento for a talk next semester. I still need to clarify some details with the organizers regarding the budget and schedule. However, since the last time I know he was in Trento was at the GuIT meeting in 2015 at the University of Trento, I think it's time to remind him what canederli are like 😋

Feel free to reach out to me at [email protected] if you're interested :)

@DavidCarlisle I think most things are there, and new stuff is added rather than changed. But of course there are exceptions to that.

> [2/5, 00:02/02:06] update: easybook [707k] (73199 -> 73207) ... done

Lucky me, got an update.

@Skillmon I assume you diffed to keep the control.

@mickep here's a summary of the changes: moved a key definition from line 1293 to 1275 in easybase.sty.

@mickep also in line 777 of the documentation file easybook.tex a single Chinese symbol was changed.

How old do questions typically get before they're "forgotten"? My personal experience is that if over 24 hours passes without an answer, it usually means that you're unlikely to receive one at all.

@Atex Just the other week, I got an answer to a 2 year old question. Don't give up hope :)

@Atex You can find queries to look up the time until first answer at math.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/12131/…

@Skillmon very good!

@Atex do you have a specific questions in mind?

@samcarter oh woow, at that point one may have forgotten their own question - Better late than never, I suppose, however!

@samcarter This is really nice:) So, you mostly get an answer either within the day, or have to wait a while. Seems like the data is pretty much in accordance with my own estimation, which is pretty good! Does the distribution still look similar to that today, however?

@mickep Yes, I was actually thinking about this question which I found interesting. I was following it for the first 24 hours, hoping that someone would answer, and grew concerned when the day passed and there still wasn't one

@samcarter and also, is there a similar statistic for this website? Could be interesting to cross-reference the data and see if we actually have a similar pattern on this site, although I already do suspect that's the case

@Atex you can bookmark it and get a notice (I think) when/if there is action.

@mickep oooh, I wasn't aware of that. Can anyone confirm if that is indeed the case when you bookmark a question

@Atex there, you got an answer :P

@Atex Use the follow link below the question to get notifications about new comments/answers etc.

@Atex you can select for which site the queries should be run in the sede data explorer.

@Skillmon further comma placement training

@DavidCarlisle <3

Is there a way to force a lua script to output console output without waiting for user interaction? The musixflx script in debug mode seems to wait for input for the console output.

Thank you so much, @Skillmon, for your detailed response—it would have taken me ages to write that code myself!

@AlanMunn you could tex.print some \typeout or similar.

May I request one final edit? To make the command truly versatile, it would be great to handle intervals like \SkipFancyVrbLines{1, 11-14, 15, 17-21}. Could you show me how to achieve that? I understand that I should use \SplitArgument (I saw this while reading the source code of the kantlipsum package), but since I’m new to LaTeX3 programming, it would be really helpful to see an example.

@Skillmon No the problem is that I'm trying to make an existing script to run in a kind of non-stop mode, which it doesn't seem to.

@AlanMunn is it called from within LuaTeX? Else there is print...

@AlanMunn Ohh, you can just use print and it'll end up on stdout (but not in the log, I'm afraid)

@Skillmon Maybe I'm not making myself clear: I'm not writing the script, the script is musixflx.lua in the distribution.

@AlanMunn take it, copy it, change it, use it.

@AlanMunn Or send a feature request to the author.

@AlanMunn Or change the Lua variable storing whatever function that file uses for its debugging to use print or something similar instead.

@Skillmon That's probably the most sensible idea. The issue came up as I was experimenting with an arara rule to run the script.

I'm getting a headache looking at this code. If anyone could kindly point out the error, I would be incredibly grateful.

Error at line 55

Palindromes on either side of the comma. Best I can do for the moment. :)

@EmanueleNardi The error is at line 132. However, changing the deprecated \iow_term:x into \iow_term:e solves the issue.

@AlanMunn most likely @DavidCarlisle will still nag :(

@Skillmon 2!=4

@DavidCarlisle the faculty of 2 is not 4!

@DavidCarlisle in the age of Unicode you should've used something like 2≠4

@Skillmon I'm of the age of ASCII

@DavidCarlisle 2\neq4

@Skillmon Thank you very much for taking up the challenge and providing a very much needed answer!:)

@DavidCarlisle But 2!=2

@samcarter Oh wow, I didn't even realise follow was for that purpose - Thanks!

@samcarter I'm not familiar with these expressions. In case I can't figure it out intuitively when I get to look at it, could you perhaps elaborate what I'd have to change to update it?

@Atex Type "tex" in the field at the bottom of the query and select the site for which you want to run the query.

👍
