Note: SE editor appears to be broken and shows some text below as a part of the code
Please note that parts of the explanations and initialization code is shown together with the main function code, as a single large code block. I will appreciate any help on this matter - I am quite confused, pe...
I'm going to wonder what I was doing next time I ask a question on tex.SE and have the "ask question" box pre-filled with some mathematica code I don't really understand :)
It looks like on StackExchange sites that have MathJax enabled, certain placements of $ characters inside code blocks can prevent the code block from ending.
Here's an example post where this has happened. Please see the longest code block: the middle should be text, but it is rendered as code....
Wow - stackoverflow.com was cited by "Wait, Wait" as a reference this weekend. NY Times picked it up, too:

I've a question that's hard to Google and hard to search on meta.stackoverflow.com ... I normally sign in to StackExchange sites with my Google ID (for a year or two now). Is there a way I can instead login with a separate StackExchange only ID and keep my profile & points ?
@BrianL If you go to your profile, you'll have the option of adding additional OpenIDs when you click on "my logins", next to the "network profile" link in the top right of the page.
Once you've added a new one, you should be able to remove your existing Google login.
@TimStone Ah, thanks very much Tim. Let me take a look... Does StackExchange provide it's own OpenID service? By that I mean, does StackExchange dole out OpenID credentials ?
@TimStone Awesome, thanks Tim. Oddly enough, I thought that doing that would set the user name for my StackOverflow, et al. to the same as my OpenID on StackExchange, but it looks like that's not the case ?
I set my OpenID to "B.Long", but it looks like my username around StackExchange is still "Brian L."
Aye, it won't pull names from your OpenID provider anymore. But, if you want to make a name change network-wide, you can set your name on your profile and then sync your profile across all of your accounts. Of course, this copies over everything, including the current site's description so it might not be ideal.
Does any one know any official place where CSS feature requests can be made?
I would like to request that there be an 'inset' keyword added to the text-shadow property so we can have inset text shadows. This seems totally logical since it is there on box-shadow, why not text-shadows aswell?
:)
@YiJiangsProble_ I think that a good answer to that question is a bit more complex. You would need to get the feature into the w3c spec, get a couple of browsers to implement it, and ultimately, it doesn't matter unless the browsers he wants support it
Perhaps I shouldn't be asking this but as a programmer I don't see a better place than where programmers meet. After more than a decade of programming almost everyday, my fingers hurt really bad after a few hours of typing. Do you have these issues? I tried different keyboards - while they help t...
@YiJiangsProble_ We used to have Dan Grossman, Michael Meyers and Michael Petrotta, Rebecca Chernoff, GeorgeEdison, TylerChaCha, Cole, Yourself, Josh (The__Exception), and probably several others. 8 of 10 folks stopped chatting. Cole sometimes stops in although I have a feeling we'll be seeing less of him. Once people stop, they stop.
In literary criticism, stream of consciousness is a narrative mode that seeks to portray an individual's point of view by giving the written equivalent of the character's thought processes, either in a loose interior monologue, or in connection to his or her actions.
Stream-of-consciousness writing is usually regarded as a special form of interior monologue and is characterized by associative leaps in syntax and punctuation that can make the prose difficult to follow. Stream of consciousness and interior monologue are distinguished from dramatic monologue, where the speaker is addressing...
I guess it doesn't completely apply, now that I'm reading that Wikipedia article.
It seems like every 4 hours or so, we get a question along the lines of:
"Why cannot I ask the question?"
"Banned from question asking, plz fix!"
"Modrater plz unban me I need to ask! Plz fix asap!"
etc...

:) knowing about command mode (whithout having any real clue) is the hard part. I'm sure the man page has that info front-and-center, but when you just drop into vim, all you really get is an empty screen
@awoodland: I'll remember that... until I need it :P. I always end up heading to Google. Maybe I should write it on a massive sticky note above my monitor :P
@jadarnel27 Same here. I think it's because the best questions seem to be rather simple ones, and I tend to be able to figure most of the simple stuff out on my own. The questions I usually have are much more lengthy.
@cdeszaq "the best questions seem to be rather simple ones" - I don't think that's necessarily true. But I can relate to the lengthy part. I overthink anything I try to ask (usually to the point where I figure it out and end up not having to ask).
Yup. I usually either figure out the answer, or figure out why it's a bad question, and don't end up asking it. Most often this happens after writing about a page of "question" consisting mostly of context.
See, these people I'm working for pooh pooed my script for doing that because it was too "homebrew javascript" for them. Which means I have to find a plugin to call my UI updates or make my own more enterprisey plugin.
Post it on the web, and then say: "Here. Mootinator's jQuery validation plugin" does exactly what we need.
Then it's not homebrew anymore, you see? Because I got it from the internet.
We're definitely looking at this and I, at least, feel it is strongly on-mission.
However, it would be a major feature and will take (seriously, no really) 6-8 months to put together.
And of course there are other things we're working on, but just know that we think this is a great idea that so...
I noticed we're using the following doctype:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
Which leads to validation errors due to our placeholder and autocomplete attributes. Why aren't we using the HTML 5 doctype below?

Is there a syntax to specify a filetype in a Google search? What is it? (I'm looking for PDFs.)
