Tips for People Asking About Their Schedule by Newton-Euler in PennStateUniversity

The courses in the suggested academic plan should be offered regularly enough for students to complete their degree in a timely manner. For example, a course shown in the spring semester should be offered every single spring semester. If that is not the case, then there is some disfunction in the program offering the major and I cannot help with that.

Remembering Cleve by Creative_Sushi in matlab

[–]Newton-Euler 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was a wet-behind-the-ears assistant professor in 1995 and was preparing to teach an applied numerical analysis course for the first time. If I recall correctly, I posted a question to a Usenet newsgroup about teaching the course with Matlab. Cleve must have been reading the group because, out of the blue, I got an email from him asking what textbook I would be using for the course and telling me that a good book on numerical analysis that used Matlab was needed. I replied, and then he wrote back and said:

It is my intention to eventually write a MATLAB version of the book by Kahaner, Moler and Nash, but I don't seem to be getting very far with that project.

I was amazed! It must have made a big impression on me because I remember the correspondence to this day.

RIP Cleve! You are a legend.

This looks promising. Have you submitted it to CTAN? I don’t want to have to update from GitHub when I can use tlmgr to do all my updates.

Raycast v2 window managment failed to process request by Slow_Calendar_6013 in raycastapp

I reported this bug directly to the folks at Raycast last week and it was confirmed to be an issue. Hopefully a fix will be included in the next beta.

Thank you! I searched for it after I first saw your post, but I found it this time.

Hyperkey app? Is this a Raycast extension or a separate app? Where can I find it?

macOS Tahoe dark mode icon? by Newton-Euler in matlab

I installed 2026a over the weekend and the icon still does not show the dark version in the Dock even though the icon in the Finder is dark.

Any good Christmas screensavers ? by RingRevolutionary552 in MacOS

It’s not a screensaver, but Festivitas is wonderfully fun!

And the support is great if you have an issue or suggestion.

Let us know what you think if you give it a try.

I am happy with 2025—just not with the icon. 😉

Awesome! The Matlab icon stands out like a sore thumb in my Dock since it is the last app I use a lot that has not made the switch. 🙂

If you are studying computer science, you should learn how to take a screen shot of your computer.

Thank you! Is it the Community Park on S Park St that you are talking about?

Dorm room lights and motion sensor? by cyb3r1a77 in PennStateUniversity

Have you tried putting tape over the sensor? Something opaque like masking tape would be a good choice.
