@CarlLange. My upcoming upgrade will be to 10.13.6. I see that I have managed to procrastinate long enough to skip 10.13.5. I won't change over to 10.14 until I think it has stabilized. Probably will wait until 10.16.2 at least.

@CarlLange. My coming upgrade will be to 10.13.6. I see that I have procra

@CarlLange. That is good news and thank you very much for making the effort. I'm still on OS X 10.13.4, so I am using Safari 11.1, but I expect to upgrade to 10.13.5 shortly, which I presume will install Safari 12, and I will need the new extension because I use halirutan's button quite a lot.

@ChrisK. That's bad news. Do you know of any way to install @halirutan 's javascript without Ninjakit in Safari 12?

@halirutan @CarlLange Thanks to both of you for your quick work in fixing the problem. I have installed v,1.4.2 into Ninjakit on Safari 11.1 and all functionality seems to have been restored.

@halirutan. Sorry to bother you, but am having problems with your editor buttons javascript. The buttons appear in the editor toolbar, the tooltips work, but clicking on any button produces no action. Any advice?

@halirutan. Hilarious, but not just programming books. That style is rampant in all technical writing.

@Szabolcs. If you need a weak but real reason to help you make a choice, consider that halirutan and Henrik are both more time-zone compatible with Kuba than I am. Living in the US's eastern time zone, I about six hours behind central european time.

@Szabolcs. Toss a coin. I mean a simulated three-sided coin, of course :-)

@philmcole. Didn't know about it because I have never used that chat room.

@halirutan. Thanks for posting about MathJax. I didn't know about your "easy way". I have now made such a bookmark and it seems to work. For example, $\sqrt{x^2+y^2}\,\sin(\frac{x}{y})$

@Kuba Granted. I was just remarking about how much I have slowed down over the years.

@Kuba, @Mr.Wizard. I would probably need to put in more time than you two do because at my advanced age I have slowed down quite a lot. Everything is slower: reading, typing, and most troubling, thinking. I might be down close to 50% of the speed I had in those activities 30 or 40 years ago.

@Kuba. I am thinking about becoming a candidate for moderator. However, I don't think I can put more than three hours a day into the job, and some days not even that much. Is that enough time to be a useful assistant to you?

@halirutan. I have become very much dependent on your buttons, so thanks for making the new version available so quickly.

@halirutan. I have installed version 1.4.1 into my Safari NinjaKit extension and tested it. All seems good now.

@halirutan. I downloaded version 1.3.8 of Mathematica Toolbar Buttons and installed it into NinjaKit. Everything works except the Ref button. The button appears but is inactive. (No pointing finger icon or tooltip on mouseover). I am running Safari 11.1 on macOS 10.13.4. Any advice on restoring the function of the Ref button?

OK, I see the actual election doesn't start until June 6th. I not sure what stated yesterday.

So the election started yesterday with no candidates. How does it proceed under that condition?

So we are adding a 5th moderator. @Kuba: do you feel that you need another moderator to help you?

As to the moderator election, which one of the current moderators is stepping down? Or are we adding a 5th moderator?

@halirutan. I'm usually up at 2:30 AM (I'm even older than you), but lately I have been having so much trouble with this site that I have not been visiting it much. What did you want to talk to me about?

@eyorble @JackLaVigne I have come to the conclusion that my question mathematica.stackexchange.com/questions/162935/… is poorly posed. I will delete it in a day or two. I want to thank you two for the effort you put into attempting to answer it. I am very sorry that I caused you to waste valuable time on a bad question. If I can find a way to formulate it clearly, I will post a new question on this issue,

@xzczd. I really do not like that kind of debugging tool. I never liked gcb and I don't like any debugger that tries to emulate it. I find using Dynamic code allows me to build project specific debugging tools let me debug much faster than I could with a gcb-like general purpose debugger.

Gonna leave now. Dinner time.

@Nasser. Output in my style sheet looks pretty much like it does in the Default style sheet. I can't remember making any changes to the Output style.

@Nasser. I used to do that. Now, during development I seed my code with global variables that I can spy on with Dynamic. When thing settle done, I localize or otherwise eliminate those variables.

@Nasser. You can see from the screen image of one my notebooks that I also like Dynamic for debugging.

@Nasser. Well, I like it :-)

@Nasser. I use a private style sheet that I have developed over the years. My input style puts a frame around all input to make it stand out.

@Nasser. Yeah. There seems to be a lot that kind post recently. And it's a shame that so many beginners don't realize the one of major virtues of Mathematica is that the user can see results and do tests on line-by-line basis. Can you or anyone else reading this message think of any way to encourage beginners to use be more interactive in their approach to code development?

To get a question off the unanswered list, will someone please up-vote this community wiki answer: mathematica.stackexchange.com/a/131780/3066

@Mr.Wizard. I just wanted to be sure it got to you. Take whatever time you need to answer. I am quite happy to put off the job as long as I can :-)

@Mr.Wizard. I am waiting for an answer to the email I sent you before proceeding on the edit you proposed. Did you receive the email? I don't want to put pressure on you, but you should know that I will not begin the task until I get your response to the issues I raised.

I installed Version 1.3.8 (I had 1.3.6) and the buttons have returned. All is well now (I think).

harlirutan's additional editing buttons no longer appear when I try to edit posts. Is it just my system or are others having this problem as well? I am running on OS X, but have made no system changes for a long time. First noticed the problem yesterday.

@SjoerdC.deVries. It's gone. Deleted by a moderator between my post and yours.

Anybody standing watch on the moderator deck? We've spam on the site for about 8 hours now.

@halirutan. @xslittlegrass. I received an email saying V10.3 is available for me to download it now.

@halirutan. Thanks a lot.

People, I am looking for one last re-open vote for this question. I want to get it re-opened so I can write a community wiki answer for it. See the last few comments to the question to see why.

@Pickett. Thanks, I appreciate your action.

Can I get some help in re-opening this question. It doesn't involve epicycloids, and I have an answer I want to post that proves it.

@halirutan. Tried your code and some variations on it. Don't know what's going on, but it looks a bug to me. Or maybe the upper whisker is afraid of the outlier.

@belisarius I thought Shirley had passed away.

@belisarius. I thought you were in Argentina, not Nigeria

@belisarius. You take MasterCard?

@Guesswhoitis. or anyone, please help me reopen this question -- I have an answer I want to post.

Thanks to both candidates for running and congratulations to Kuba for winning.
