I don't think David would understand this comic: how should he know what a bug is if he never had one in his packages? It is well known that he always writes error free code :)

thanks for sharing, I hope it'll work and try to attend (if dayjob permits).
It worked yesterday and today -- I'm confident it will work tomorrow as well :)
In case anyone is looking for an advanced git course - tomorrow afternoon: https://indico.cern.ch/event/1334738/contributions/5814285/
It was mentioned at the Dante meeting, so people should now be aware :)
Do they know there is a bursary for TUG '24? We had zero submissions till now.
Wow! There are so much more presentations than last week! Looking forward to your siunitx talk!
Another factor could be that the meeting in Bonn also came with a big discount for Dante members and had the Dante general assembly on the day before. This might have encouraged additional attendees which are missing in Prague.
True - for a 'day job' conference it's not so bad at all, but TeX is not most attendee's day job - I'm lucky that the team have some funds to cover it
At Dante a couple of people mentioned that they are deterred by the relatively high conference fee. Maybe people saved up during the years of online conferences and then splashed out to go to Bonn, but can't afford to do this every year?
I think you've got the situation that it's actually just 'down the road' once you look globally, so for people outside western Europe, a second trip to the same area isn't 'worth it'

**If you'd like to come to TUG'24 in Prague and did not yet register, please do this as soon as possible. Also submitt talks if possible. At the Dante meeting it was mentioned that TUG'24 is at the risk of being cancelled due to too few registrations and talks submitted :(**
Follow-up to an [earlier message of mine](https://topanswers.xyz/transcript?room=347&id=174868&year=2024#c174868): [xz Outbreak (CVE-2024-3094) - Part 2](https://infosec.exchange/@fr0gger/112211836264840207) by Thomas Roccia. Nothing really new, “just” a synthetic single-page presentation of backdoor setup mechanisms we've known since the last weekend. Unrelated: if you had one of the infamous `liblzma` versions 5.6.0 or 5.6.1 on your system, some people [suggest](https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1068348) to rebuild the initramfs. This is unlikely to harm, at least...
Hmm, my areas of interest require some understanding of mathematical principles, but I have started too late, so at times I find it difficult.
Yes, I know. But that's not what she did, she had absolutely no idea what the professor was talking about.
Many streams of linguistics actually heavily rely on mathematisation of languages, but it's still tough for us, linguists to comprehend maths and abstraction. That's where we struggle the most.
African Linguistics, Literature and Arts, and Arabic (I usually jokingly say "taxi driver")
when we both still went to university my wife used to accompany me to my maths lectures. She always said it was the perfect background noise to concentrate on her assignments.
