@HaraldHanche-Olsen -- next time i'll have to put on yaktrax before leaving home. anyhow, i'm being taken good care of. i now have a phony new hip joint, and i've been gotten vertical and into a chair. leaning on a walker; my shoulders will be either totally worn out, or in really good shape by the time this is over. one of the rehab goals is to be able to climb stairs before i get sprung. (slowly but surely.) it's a good thing in situations like this that i'm able to think of myself as my own "lab rat".

1:16 AM

Happy Holidays for everone!

@ChristianHupfer that's a very fine bear. i'm impressed with your pupils' good taste.

Happy Holidays!

I have a short question: When I do want to use commands from the latex format but don't want to produce a document (I don't need \begin{document}...\end{document} and \documentclass for my use case), how do I achieve that?

1:36 AM

Nevermind. Using \makeatletter\@@end does work to stop LaTeX from running without errors

1:48 AM

@Sebastiano Thank you Sebastiano. Blessings!

@Nasser It worked for me with Mathematica 10.0.2, so it seems OK at least from one version behind. :) Glad it's working!

Merry Christmas, friends!

@Johannes_B @ChristianHupfer youtube.com/watch?v=GRfvA8jdw_A

@PauloCereda Oh my.

Beta 4 of Redstone aka Build 17063 includes BSD utilities bsdtar and curl from the command prompt and Unix sockets (AF_Unix). These are also rumored to be part of a future version of Windows Server. - WSL will now run background tasks and will continue to run them even after the command prompt window is closed... - A previous story mentioned a discovered OpenSSH for Windows... OpenSSH and VPN can now be accessed via PowerShell in remote connections via the PSRemote commandlet. With the extra background support added you can for example keep a Secure Shell session open on a server/client and…

Q: How to make this resume more compact?

Excuse me for not having used LaTeX for a long while. I have been looking hard to find a good looking resume template, and finally find one http://www.yisongyue.com/resume/. If you have better suggestions, feel free to let me know. What would you suggest to make each page contain more content ...

What to do withh that one? How to fix L2.09?

9:41 AM

Happy Duck Christmas! It's the same Christmas, but we ducks (@JosephWright included) have special popcorn. :)

Nice.

@PauloCereda Like expl3, we don't really have versions, just 'snapshots' ...

@Johannes_B is be less competent, so the resume gets more compact an answer? :)

@JosephWright I will give internal names. :)

@PauloCereda Might be :-)

@PauloCereda Frankly, my dear, ...

/quacks

@PauloCereda Xmas is almost over, we can be mean again

@DavidCarlisle ^^ help, she's being mean to me

@PauloCereda excellent

@DavidCarlisle oh no

@DavidCarlisle LOL

People shouldn't be mean to me... :(

@PauloCereda We love you, don't worry!

@PauloCereda finish your thesis, then they will stop being mean. (I'm never mean, as you know)

@DavidCarlisle oh no

6:38 PM

@PauloCereda There wasn't duck in our menu, today.

@PauloCereda Did you have tortellini?

@egreg yay!

@egreg no, this year mum did a spinach lasagna. :)

@PauloCereda My sister tried pampepato (Ferrara style) for the first time; the experiment was quite successful.

Panpepato (Italian: "peppered bread") or pampepato is a round, sweet cake typical of the Province of Ferrara, Siena, the Province of Terni, of Sabina and the Valle Latina. Panpepato is a type of panforte. It is made according to traditional methods from various ingredients including fruits and nuts such as almonds, hazelnuts, pine nuts, walnuts, pepper, cinnamon, nutmeg, and zest of orange and lime, mixed according to the variants with or without cocoa, honey, flour, or cooked grape must. The cake is then baked in an oven (preferably wood). After baking, it is covered with a layer of chocolate...

@egreg A really bad morphological analysis of this would have it contain duck. :)

@egreg "baked in an oven (preferably wood)". Really bad choice of material for an oven, I'd say.

6:54 PM

@AlanMunn I guess Google Translate is the culprit; here's DeepL

The gingerbread, or pampepato, is a sweet of roundish (or nugget-like) shape, typical of Terni and Ferrara. It is composed according to tradition by various ingredients: almonds, hazelnuts, pine nuts, pepper, cinnamon, nutmeg, orange and citron candied, raisins, all mixed with or without cocoa, chocolate, coffee, liqueur, honey, flour, grape must. The dessert is then baked in the oven (better if in a wood-burning oven). It is usually eaten as a Christmas dessert. It is prepared in each family with recipes that differ slightly from each other.

@egreg Are these translations of exactly the same Italian text? Quite a bit of difference.

@AlanMunn The texts are similar; perhaps the English version is from a previous Italian one.
