@DavidCarlisle why japanese?
 
@DavidCarlisle ;-)
 
7:12 AM
@PhelypeOleinik we have just what you need to make you happy: paperswithcode.com/sota/sarcasm-detection-on-scv1
 
@DavidCarlisle oh, how awfully interesting.
 
7:46 AM
eek me from 1989 or so :(
\usepackage{here}     % Forced Figure Placement
\usepackage{pslatex}    % Use PostScript Fonts
 
@DavidCarlisle I try to avoid to look at my old documents ;-)
 
@UlrikeFischer that is quoted from the most recent question on the site!!
 
@DavidCarlisle how do you know that it is from you 1989 self?
 
8:09 AM
@UlrikeFischer I just meant I wrote those two and haven't used them since about then (pslatex.sty was already obsolete by the time I updated it to be a 2e package)
 
@DavidCarlisle ah sorry, I sometime forget that one should assume that every package is from you unless proven otherwise ;-)

@PhelypeOleinik /must get more sarcasm into the documentation of expkv
 
@UlrikeFischer It's probably on par with finding your high school poetry XD
 
@JosephWright when in doubt, GUM.
@JosephWright and naming of the options seems about right to me.
 
8:59 AM
@Skillmon I'm just working out if separate-uncertainty should stay or I should have a single option that covers all outcomes - at the moment I've kept separate-uncertainty but thinking about it I suspect it's better to have a single option for all styles
@DavidCarlisle ??
 
@JosephWright maybe a single switch with a fourth mode separate is really better/more organised. At the very least it would make browsing the documentation and finding that option much easier.
 
@Skillmon Yes, I suspect so - I'll adjust
 
10:01 AM
@JosephWright I wonder how a new latex user ends up with a preamble containing these things.
 
@DavidCarlisle :)
@DavidCarlisle Which question ws this in?

Q: Why cant I see any URL or date when I cite from a webpage. I am writing my thesis on overleaf and I have multiple citations from webpages and papers

Siddhant\documentclass[a4paper,12pt,twoside]{article} %\documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{article} \usepackage{comment} \usepackage{lipsum} \usepackage{multirow} \usepackage[colorlinks=true,linkcolor=black,anchorcolor=black,citecolor=black,filecolor=black,menucolor=black,runcolor=black,urlcolor=black]{hyperref...

 
10:28 AM
@DavidCarlisle I feel there are so many new users one the site at the moment. I would be nice if all new users got information as to how one asks an answerable question on the site.

@daleif yes that's a separate issue, that the user didn't post any code related to the qustion, I was more concerned that the code that was posted was aimed at a sun laser-writer.
 
10:46 AM
@DavidCarlisle Sun made laser printers? That is way before my time.
 
@daleif that depends how you define "made". They sold laser printers and we had several of them alongside our sun workstations in the late 80s, but if you peeled off the sun logo there was an apple underneath
 
@DavidCarlisle what a time, when somebody could find cheap reselling Apple things ;-)

12:58 PM
@Rmano I'm sure they weren't cheap.
 
@AlanMunn Can't remember, but definitely not. Our department switched from sun to Apollo for the costs... I don't remember the printers brand, I think it was hp or honeywell.
 
1:16 PM
@Rmano The research centre I worked at had a couple of Suns but I don't think we even had a laser printer at the time. We had a Tektronix plotter though since there was a lot of research involving CAD.
 
@AlanMunn oh, yes, what a memory! The university had a shared big plotter --- I remember there was a specific language to feed it! We had to get authorization to print there as PhD students, though ;-)

3:38 PM
Drat ... Bruno writes code and I have to draft LaTeX3 News
 
@JosephWright and all Marcel and Ulrike have to do is implement an inline tex-mathml convertor embed it in pdf tags then implement a pdf reader that can read the document as specified. You clearly drew the short straw:-)

4:11 PM
@DavidCarlisle would be easier then to get rid off all the makeuppercase the book class injects in the header, grr ...
 
4:45 PM
@UlrikeFischer :)

@PauloCereda HELP!!!!
testing this

Q: Apparent bug in pdflatex/xelatex (but not lualatex)

Don HosekSteps to reproduce. Minimal LaTeX file test.tex: \documentclass{article} \begin{document} \input{test.l2e} \end{document} file test.l2e: \oops run pdflatex or xelatex on test and hit E at the error prompt. pdflatex says: pdflatex:calledit: unexpected if_ptr=5 not in range 1..2,from input_stack...

@PauloCereda now what??
 
@DavidCarlisle interesting behaviour. How do people find this? I never hit e or create files with the extension l2e ;-)
 
@UlrikeFischer by writing a book about how latex works and trying things?
I see @PauloCereda has run away rather than tell me how to escape from the above. Typical.
@UlrikeFischer I never get an error prompt so hitting e is not an option.
 
7:34 PM
@DavidCarlisle @PauloCereda didn't run away. He ducked.

@AlanMunn hmm
 
@AlanMunn ba dúmm tiss!

10:27 PM
@JosephWright I have number of test failures, because the order of the color changed in some places for xetex: new: 0 G 0 g old: 0 g 0 G. Do you have any idea where this could come from? (that is with xelatex-dev and the newest expl3 code).
