Anyone watch Silicon Valley?

[Kuildeous]

Or Class of Nuke 'Em High.

Troma?

Absolutely

With all the mathematicians around here, there's surely someone who can help me with a Latex problem. I'm trying to nicely put a quotient space into a lemma, but I have a hard time making that look nice. What I'm currently using is this:

Code: [Select]

\newcommand{\QR}[2]{
\raisebox{1ex}{\ensuremath{#1}}
\ensuremath{\mkern-3mu}\bigg/\ensuremath{\mkern-3mu}
\raisebox{-1ex}{\ensuremath{#2}}}
\begin{document}
Seien $W$ und $Z$ wegzusammenhängende Räume mit nichtdegerierten Basispunkten $w_0$ beziehungsweise $z_0$. Dann sind $\QR{\Sigma W \times Z}{\{w_0\}\times Z}$ und $\Sigma (W\vee(W\wedge Z))$ schwach homotopieäquivalent.
\end{document}
However, this causes an ugly looking larger distance between lines at this point, but I don't want to put it into it's own line either.
Any suggestions on how to make this visually appealing?

Nichtdegeriert -> Nichtdegeneriert?

[Watno]

Thanks, I actually did that twice in the document.

I'd just use $(\Sigma W \times Z)/(\{w_0\}\times Z)$. You can even leave out the parentheses, the meaning should still be clear (technically it is ambiguous, but it was done in the lecture notes from which I learned homotopy theory, see e.g. Definition 9 and Example 10).

[Witherweaver]

Did you try the xfrac package?

Code: [Select]

\documentclass{minimal}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{xfrac}
\begin{document}
Seien $W$ und $Z$ wegzusammenhängende Räume mit nichtdegerierten Basispunkten $w_0$ beziehungsweise $z_0$. Dann sind $\sfrac{\Sigma W \times Z}{\{w_0\}\times Z}$ und $\Sigma (W\vee(W\wedge Z))$ schwach homotopieäquivalent.
\end{document}

Edit: Oh, the command is \sfrac{top}{bottom}

Nice!  That must have been one satisfying dump.

The author of the book I'm working with did this (without parentheses). It confused me to no end why he was collapsing single points.
I think I found a solution I like, going with

Code: [Select]

Dann besteht eine schwache Homotopieäquivalenz
\[\QR{\Sigma W\times Z}{\{w_0\}\times Z}\to\Sigma(W\vee(W\wedge Z)).\]

Wow! Right on time!

There are also \mathlarger{} and \mathsmaller{} commands in the relsize package.  And they stack.

Congrats!  Is this your first? If so, I will quietly seethe in my wife's stead (our oldest was a 20+ hour labor.)

Also, very brave going natural!

There are 4 seasons?  I only know of 2.

So I recently read this post:

That being said, I wouldn't expect it to be implemented quickly, assuming it's more on the order of Black Market and Stash (rather than Envoy, Walled Village, and Governor). Basically, if it needs a new interface to do its thing, I expect it to take awhile.

Here's a secret about the promo that perhaps it's time to reveal:

LastFootnote playtested the promo.

After upvoting it I noticed it had two respect. I decided to check who did upvote it, and was somehow surprised to see my name there.

Wow Tables. Nice job.

Perfect for this thread:  A blog post I randomly found about the seeds programmers random use for their pseudo-random number generators.  (Spoiler:  Everyone just uses 1.  Seems legit.)

Aside:  In the far past when I've done programming and needed random, I usually seeded using microtime().  Anyone else do some variant of that?

Eh, Utah really slowed down around season 3, season 4 isn't even worth watching

[sudgy]

It's always nice to finally understand why something I knew was true.  For instance, I learned a while ago that e^(i*pi) is equal to -1, but I never knew why.  In a calculus textbook I was reading, he went off on a random tangent (not a sine (but now I might be going off on a cotangent mentioning this)) about imaginary exponents, and I realized what was going on while it was happening.

If it's something I'm going to have to debug, I set the seed to something recognisable but unusual - like a few digits of pi, or a nice big power of 2 - so that I can rule out unusual results from the RNG fairly early on as a potential source of error. Then I will sometimes drop the seed for production runs, although not always because I'm lazy like that.

Canada has Winter and Road Construction.  After that it's just been re-runs.

And now you know why all of those trigonometry formulae work too!

I hate teaching trig in classes that don't yet have Euler's formula.  Well, that's not true; I still enjoy trig.  But it is so much more elegant with Euler's formula.
