I'd also be interested to know if anyone has an idea of a better place to share this survey!

Hello, I am designing a software system that will help people learn programming. Could you take a few minutes to fill in a survey about the tools and resources you currently use, or previously used, to learn how to code? forms.gle/rTfmzB6jTMy9y4Bt5 (I'd also like to speak with anyone who has time in a short interview!)

As you see above, the change isn't sticky.

Hi, we have been trying to configure Postgresql on Heroku to no avail today.

Hello: would anyone here have time for an approximately hour-long interview on your experiences as a Mathoverflow user? My interest has to do with a project described here: cs.ox.ac.uk/projects/MSM

Note deadline is June 30th, but the event is in December

Hello, this is a call for abstracts for an upcoming meeting to take place at the Mathematical Institute in Oxford. Perhaps someone here would like to come along and talk about the mathematical culture on Mathoverflow?

@egreg I've just upgraded Ubuntu to a sensibly recent version and am trying the texlive installation again

I googled for "no such file but the file exists" and I see that may have to do with 32 bit vs 64 bit issues

Requested ls command is as follows:

log is copied here: metameso.org/~joe/install-tl.log

OK, with latest attempt to install I see lots of errors in the log (I had ignored these earlier)

but the ls result is in there

sorry, the data was all munged together in what I pasted above

@egreg I'm now reinstalling the thing from scratch to see if it is somehow resolved, and that it should be done shortly; but the earlier result from ls -lt was just the file

the basic problem is that none of the tex commands work

that's just a test command

is there any guess about why the file is there, on the path, and yet can't be executed by bash?

and if I run this:

But tlmgr can't find it

So, kpsewhich exists, and is on the path

Hi, my texlive installation seems not to be working, but in a weird way.

thanks

Fair enough - I'll work on a standard MWE mock up when I have a bit of time

So that question is a placeholder for now

I've seen similar problems arising in standard LaTeX but it would take some time to assemble a real MWE

Ask editors of "Artificial Intelligence" I guess

@DavidCarlisle Here is a description with pictures tex.stackexchange.com/q/357636/4357

@DavidCarlisle Now that I have a working hack I will create a question that asks for the right way to solve it

OK my ridiculous hack actually seems to work

\clearpage removes the gap above the text, but introduces one below

I want no gap

@yo' -- The table is fine, the problem is that the following text gets typeset to the bottom of the page

A sufficiently ridiculous idea

I guess I could put the text itself inside of a figure environment and get it to float

I'm drawing a blank (literally and figuratively). This is a moment of Zen I guess

Worked fine w/o their intervention!

I'm just trying to correct the proof at this point
