... Does that make sense? --[[User:Short Circuit|Michael Mol]] 04:34, 14 April 2010 (UTC)
:::It makes sense, but it doesn't look any clearer to me. If you look at the result and the parameters side by side, it's pretty clear how they match up. I like the named parameter method, but I'm not the boss. I'm not sure if this new method will help with ease of use either. If people can't figure out the named parameters (which is a complaint I've seen a few times even though there are explicit directions on the template page and numerous examples of use), I don't think they'll figure out this business either. It seems like directions for this method would have to be scattered across a bunch of template pages. As far as comparing it to the mylang stuff, that table lent itself to a setup like this because we didn't want to add a new parameter for every language that came up (even though we could have if we had fewer languages). I can't imagine us ever having more than a dozen or so language parameters, so it's relatively simple to add the named parameters. I like having everything packaged in one template. At the very least, doing it all in one will keep the order consistent for all languages, which is a usability plus. I guess this can just be recorded as a vote for reworking the original template, but still using named parameters. --[[User:Mwn3d|Mwn3d]] 04:53, 14 April 2010 (UTC)
::::I'm not going to push the discussion any farther (at least for a while); of all the folks who've helped with site infrastructure, you've been at it the longest. [[Template:Language]] has been your Work-In-Progress, and you've taken more initiative in getting it working well than anyone else. It's by and large your template, you've managed and maintained it, and I can leave it to you to maintain. I personally think the way I described is better, but I don't want to overrule you on a template that's been your baby. I also ''don't'' think now is the right time to continue any push on it. It can probably wait until summer or later, after the end-of-semester madness has subsided. Let's revisit this some other time. --[[User:Short Circuit|Michael Mol]] 05:15, 14 April 2010 (UTC)
Re HOPL, Diarmuid and I are painfully aware of the problems. Time's our biggest problem at the moment ... not having much. --[[User:Axtens|Axtens]] 05:10, 14 April 2010 (UTC)
== Congratulations! ==
Congratulations! Now don't forget about us! You've been too much help over too long a time for me to want to give you up. :P --[[User:Short Circuit|Michael Mol]] 12:37, 24 May 2010 (UTC)
Congratulations on graduating and getting a job. Nice one! --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] 18:43, 4 August 2010 (UTC)
== Link Down ==
The front page link to [[wp:programming chrestomathy]] might need changing to something like: [[wp:chrestomathy|programming chrestomathy]]. --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] 05:58, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
:Got it. Good find. --[[User:Mwn3d|Mwn3d]] 06:10, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
Not quite. It now gets re-directed. How about a link to the page [[wp:chrestomathy]] that shows as 'programming chrestomathy' and does not get re-directed at wp? --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] 06:21, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
:Ace. --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] 07:22, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
:: I'm still grousing over the fact that they yanked the "program chrestomathy" page; I thought that was useful content. Maybe someone around here can answer [[wp:Talk:Chrestomathy|my question]]. --[[User:Short Circuit|Michael Mol]] 22:20, 12 August 2010 (UTC)
== Organization ==
[[wp:List_of_algorithms]] might be useful in aiding organization. Actually, I'd love to get the majority of those created as tasks. :) --[[User:Short Circuit|Michael Mol]] 22:02, 12 August 2010 (UTC)
:I think I remember talking with Dmitry about that in the long long ago (back when I first categorized the tasks). It's definitely worth releasing into the RC wild to see what happens. I don't think a list like that will take too much pushing to get people to start checking things off. --[[User:Mwn3d|Mwn3d]] 03:11, 14 August 2010 (UTC)
== Templates ==
RC really needs some consolidation of its mess of templates. As you find time, would you be interested in going through and ensuring all of them have [[Template:template]] in them? --[[User:Short Circuit|Michael Mol]] 20:25, 1 October 2010 (UTC)
== Yorick ==
To answer your question from [[Category talk:Yoric]], the language's name is "Yorick", not "Yoric". I have created equivalent pages for Yorick based on what I saw existed for Yoric, but the old pages for Yoric now need deletion. Can you delete the following pages?
* [[:Category:Yoric]]
* [[:Category:Yoric User]]
* [[:Category:Yoric examples needing attention]]
* [[:Category:Yoric Implementations]]
* [[Reports:Tasks not implemented in Yoric]]
Thanks! -- [[User:Sekoia|Sekoia]] 22:43, 10 October 2010 (UTC)
:I'm on it. --[[User:Mwn3d|Mwn3d]] 22:45, 10 October 2010 (UTC)
::Done. Deletions were unusually difficult for the site today (just noting). --[[User:Mwn3d|Mwn3d]] 22:54, 10 October 2010 (UTC)
==Problem with math tag?==
[[Random number generator (included)#PARI/GP]] Has this bit of wiki text:
:<nowiki><math>2^{4096}-1.</math></nowiki>
Which displayed for me in firefox on Windows vs 3.6.12 as the following
<strong class="error">Failed to parse (Missing texvc executable; please see math/README to configure.): 2^{4096}-1.</strong>
Could someone take a look? (P.S. the same statement worked OK for me on Wikipedia). --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] 05:37, 31 October 2010 (UTC)
: This is a result of the software upgrade from a couple weeks ago. Happens every time I forget to recompile texvc during an upgrade of MW. Give me just a few minutes... <math>2^{4096}-1.</math> There. Fixed.--[[User:Short Circuit|Michael Mol]] 12:18, 31 October 2010 (UTC)

I'm in the process of adding a new Rosetta Code (draft) task, and I'm trying to use
the ''' <nowiki> <math> </nowiki> ''' that is near the top of the Wikipedia entry for '''Leonardo numbers'''.
The Wikipedia article is at: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leonardo_number Leonardo number].
Here is the HTML code that I'm trying to use, it is (part of) an '''exact''' copy of what the Wikipedia page has:
<pre>
:<math>
L(n) =
\begin{cases}
1 & \mbox{if } n = 0 \\
1 & \mbox{if } n = 1 \\
L(n - 1) + L(n - 2) + 1 & \mbox{if } n > 1 \\
\end{cases}
</math>
</pre>
When I try to ''preview'' it (via the '''show preview''' button), it causes the Rosetta Code server to "hang" (after saying it is "connecting...", and then after about 150 seconds or so, (apparently) times-out.
Error 524 Ray ID: 35f9cf1f868c2a25 • 2017-05-15 23:18:49 UTC
A timeout occurred
Is the Wikipedia software ahead of the stuff that Rosetta Code uses?
Or, to put it another way, is the Rosetta Code stuff back-level?
For a '''<nowiki> <math> </nowiki>''' {cases} example that works, you can view: [http://rosettacode.org/wiki/Ackermann_function Ackermann function].
I've tried to take out various whitespace(s) and other stuff, but I'm causing Rosetta Code to "soft-crash" a lot of times, so I thought it would be better to find out what's going on from the horse's mouth, so to speak.
Any thoughts what the problem is? -- 23:33, 15 May 2017 (UTC)
... Just in case you're not familiar with the above idiom:
(straight) from the horse's mouth: from someone who has the facts.
"Are you sure she's leaving?"
"Definitely, I heard it straight from the horse's mouth."

==Cilk++==
Hi, I too was thinking of a block but saw [http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/intel-cilk-plus/ this], and [[wp:Cilk++|this]], and held off hoping that they would expand on things. Maybe you could leave the page deleted but take the block off? --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] 06:47, 16 February 2011 (UTC)
:I only blocked the IP for a month and only for anons. I guess I could shorten it. --[[User:Mwn3d|Mwn3d]] 13:19, 16 February 2011 (UTC)
::I went ahead and created a [[:Category:Cilk|Cilk]] page, using actual (wp) content this time, and recreated the [[Cilk++]] page (also wp content). Don't know if anyone will do any Cilk examples, but WTH, it's an interesting concept (at the very least). -- [[User:Eriksiers|Erik Siers]] 02:15, 2 March 2011 (UTC)
::...Um... Cilk is just C with a ''very'' few extra keywords. I really think it would be better to just leave it as '''c'''. Whatcha think? -- [[User:Eriksiers|Erik Siers]] 02:20, 2 March 2011 (UTC)
:::I don't think that's how lang tags should work. Every language should get its own tag. --[[User:Mwn3d|Mwn3d]] 02:38, 2 March 2011 (UTC)
::::You're the boss. Either way works, I suppose. -- [[User:Eriksiers|Erik Siers]] 02:44, 2 March 2011 (UTC)
==Create an HTML table==
Did I get it wrong [[Talk:Create an HTML table|here]]? Should it be any table or should I have not restricted the task to an HTML table? --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] 22:10, 10 March 2011 (UTC)
==Thanks==
Thanks, man. I appreciate the encouragement! --[[User:Bnlott|Bnlott]] 04:20, 26 June 2011 (UTC)
== Spam? ==
As you seem to be one of the chief spammer battlers, you might wish to know that [[User:Serdartolgaaras]] seems to be a candidate. OK, it's not very spammy, but Google Translate does not seem to find any content on it that could even be vaguely relevant to programming (Turkish legal services or swimming, yes; programming, no). –[[User:Dkf|Donal Fellows]] 12:46, 28 December 2011 (UTC)
: Mwn3d keeps beating me to it. --[[User:Short Circuit|Michael Mol]] 14:30, 28 December 2011 (UTC)
::I even get most of them from my phone lately. You gotta step it up :p. --[[User:Mwn3d|Mwn3d]] 15:12, 28 December 2011 (UTC)
:::At this point, the normal case for me is to see it pop up in Google Reader, click...and the page was already deleted. Oi. I'm not absent, I'm just too slow to be visible. --[[User:Short Circuit|Michael Mol]] 15:15, 28 December 2011 (UTC)
:If you see more pages like that you can just blank them and add {{tmpl|remove}}. Someone will get it eventually. --[[User:Mwn3d|Mwn3d]] 15:12, 28 December 2011 (UTC)
== Source for [[Truth_table#Java]]? ==
Hi, Any chance of getting the source for [[Truth_table#Java]] onto the RC site. (I was browsing, searching for an answer to a question of Stack Overflow and noticed). Thanks. --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] 03:59, 11 July 2012 (UTC)
:The source is kind of complicated. There are many different files involved. The jar file that is linked to from the text on the page should have the source in it. You can treat that file exactly like a .zip file. If it's only .class files inside that archive let me know. I'll have to repackage it with the right options. --[[User:Mwn3d|Mwn3d]] 04:15, 11 July 2012 (UTC)
::Thanks for the prompt reply. It seems I'm wrong in thinking that the source could be meaningfully displayed on RC so I'll let it go then. --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] 05:35, 11 July 2012 (UTC)
:::Sorry that it doesn't really work well here. Can you still use the source to help you answer the question? I can try to help if you need a specific part of the source explained. What was the question? --[[User:Mwn3d|Mwn3d]] 16:35, 11 July 2012 (UTC)
::Oh there's no further issue with stack overflow - I put a link to the site in my answer. Its for them to read the RC page including the Java example, or not. --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] 18:01, 11 July 2012 (UTC)
== Much obliged. ==
Thanks for taking the time to "go through the motions" for LOLCODE. I planned to create the page once I'd written up a brief overview of the language, but having a starting point's always nice. : )
:You're welcome. Go ahead and fill it in whenever you want. I'll be there to help you wiki-fy things and add some of RC's lesser-known templates where appropriate. --[[User:Mwn3d|Mwn3d]] 14:19, 6 March 2013 (UTC)
== adding to watchlist ==
(Since you're an administrator)
Today, I got an error (the 1st time I ever saw this error message) when I tried to add something to my "watchlist", I got the error (in a pink box):
<big>
An error occurred while changing your watchlist settings for "xxxxxxx".
</big>
I was logged on, <strike>off</strike> of course.
I logged off (and closed my FireFox browser), and then logged back on. Same error.
Any ideas? (If this isn't the right place to report problems, let me know the correct location).
-----
Never mind, it's working now. Perhaps something was too busy/overloaded or some such? -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 22:40, 21 August 2019 (UTC)
A further never mind. I found the problem. If a user (userid) is currently logged on, I can't seem to add that userid to my watchlist. So now, I just wait a hour or so and try again. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 18:27, 11 September 2019 (UTC)
== Bytecode ==
I noticed that you were the (original) author for the Rosetta Code page <big> '''https://rosettacode.org/wiki/Bytecode''' </big> and on that page, there is an error generated when ya click on the link <u>virtual machine</u> (which is within the 2<sup>nd</sup> sentence within parentheses). I don't know who entered the text that causes the error (shown below).
The error that I see is (and the only thing on the resultant webpage):
<big><big> Exception encountered, of type "RuntimeException" </big></big>
I know not of how to fix or correct the problem. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 00:53, 21 November 2019 (UTC)
