Can you elaborate on that? I only saw a couple small scheduling examples in the book.

Dyalog also deviates from the ISO standard, adding things from J like hooks and forks. IIRC, GNU APL's deviations are to bring it closer to IBM APL2, but it's been a while since I cared about any of this.

For some reason, in my Firefox, the page renders with a massive symbol obscuring the bottom half of the page.

It's fine if you don't agree with my analogy or don't like S.O. but I don't think this contributes much to the discussion of how to make issue trackers.

I don't know exactly how it would work. But if I wanted to figure it out, I would start by taking a fairly large project's ticket tracker and sort through every reply on every ticket and try to categorize them into buckets. For in

The main problem with issue trackers is similar to the problem of programming forums before Stack Overflow. Issue trackers become a chronological pile-up of crap. Stack Overflow is an incredible leap from earlier programming forums because

Most of my questions on tex.SE are about ConTeXt, simply because all paths in ConTeXt are less explored than LaTeX. The frontier is nearer. But I have never failed to get a useful and informative solution from one of the handful of experts.

There is not, to my knowledge, a really commonly-used workflow that starts at Word and ends at typesetting. This is something Pandoc purports to do, but I would expect to lose most of your manual formatting tweaks from Word in the process.

I have used ConTeXt a fair amount and I like it quite a bit. I would actually say it is easier than LaTeX, in the sense that it is more discoverable. After you use it for a bit, you see that the macros are all built on each other in predict

This complaint is basically the reason XeTeX was written, which accesses your standard system fonts instead. LuaTeX also handles TTF and OpenFont without trouble. These both produce PDFs instead of DVI or Postscript output (per your comment

I did this dance last year, so let me give you some free advice. Show your kids how to save and how NOT to overwrite your save in BoTW. Having my kids blow away my ~20 hours of work completely deflated me and I have not been able to get bac

I have fond memories of playing Final Fantasy II as a kid. I downloaded Octopath Traveller on the Switch and couldn't get through the introduction I was so bored. Going back and playing Final Fantasy on the NES Classic, I can't be

Yes, a few of my gigs were, probably not evil but certainly low in value for actual humans. But we all have to eat, and circumstances sometimes send you off looking for whatever job or client you can get right now.

The real question is what the fundamental theorem of algebra has to do with algebra.

Thanks for answering. I really appreciate that you took the time to explain this.

I feel like I always hear about girl scout fundraising (not just the cookies) but never about girl scouting. In contrast, I hear a lot about camping and whatnot with the boy scouts, yet they never seem to be in my face raising money. What&#

I had the impression this was more of a negotiating tactic than an actual plan. But this is like fourth-hand rumor.

I'm a beginner at Go but I think it is fascinating and full of real-life lessons like this. In general, strong play has a lot of forcing moves that demand responses. Being obsessed with having the last word is akin to allowing the othe

I'm starting to think that "computer-substitute" is precisely what smart phones have become, and that having a real computer you depend on might correlate with age, income or occupation in a way that phone ownership cuts acro

I would suggest checking out the Micro:bit: https://www.microbit.org/ Not exactly the same as what you're looking for, but the idea here is to introduce kids to programming with a small, self-contained environment, and

The actual reading of email with mu is about what's on disk. Using offlineimap is just a common configuration, and in its configuration you can specify a function, so if you wanted it to prompt you for a password whenever you get mail,

... I still don't see why I would do that. Emacs runs offlineimap and then Emacs runs mu index. Why would I do it again myself from the command line?

Why on earth would I try and index it twice concurrently? I never have a scenario where I need to send email without network.
