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)

I'm in the process of adding a new Rosetta Code (draft) task, and I'm trying to use
the &nbsp; ''' <nowiki> <math> </nowiki> ''' &nbsp; that is near the top of the Wikipedia entry for '''Leonardo numbers'''.
 
The Wikipedia article is at: &nbsp; &nbsp; [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'' &nbsp; it &nbsp; (via the '''show preview''' button), &nbsp; 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 &nbsp; '''<nowiki> <math> </nowiki>''' {cases} &nbsp; example that works, you can view: &nbsp; [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? &nbsp; -- 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."

== 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) &nbsp; 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. &nbsp; Same error.
 
Any ideas? (If this isn't the right place to report problems, let me know the correct location). &nbsp; &nbsp;

Never mind, it's working now. &nbsp; Perhaps something was too busy/overloaded or some such? &nbsp; &nbsp; -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 22:40, 21 August 2019 (UTC)
 
A further never mind. &nbsp; I found the problem. &nbsp; If a user (userid) is currently logged on, I can't seem to add that userid to my watchlist. &nbsp; So now, I just wait a hour or so and try again. &nbsp; &nbsp; -- [[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 &nbsp; <big> '''https://rosettacode.org/wiki/Bytecode''' </big> &nbsp; and on that page, there is an error generated when ya click on the link &nbsp; <u>virtual machine</u> &nbsp; &nbsp; (which is within the 2<sup>nd</sup> sentence within parentheses). &nbsp; I don't know who entered the text that causes the error (shown below).
 
 
The error that I see is &nbsp; (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. &nbsp; &nbsp; -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 00:53, 21 November 2019 (UTC)
