I have a problem with in-line code formatting here:  I want to make two different in line code in single comment. What I'm doing wrong? This is how it looks currently:  My green/red/blue markers shows what to focus on:  In edit mode without additional spaces:  In edit mode with additional spaces:
Tried to add a comment to a post today, which ended up looking rather weird. What I had typed was:  On windows I believe you need to use `\` instead of `/`   As you can see in the first comment to this question, I don't exactly end up with what I thought I would... What's going on here?  Tried various combinations of double \\ and double `` (which seems to be impossible to have in an inline code thing...?), but couldn't get a good result. Ended up putting a space after the slash, which at least made it readable. Problem then was that the space between the inline code and the word "instead" seems to disappear O.o
Extruding surface while keeping the shape here is the picture of what I would like to get(example nr. 2). I need the edge frame to be same in width and length. Also the extrusion is on surface (without depth) I tried extruding region, but it did not give me the result I wanted.   I know I could just adjust the scale and do it manually, but that would be eyeballing without achievign accuracy. I would like to know if it is possible to extrude or inset while keeping the shape (even edge space) Why did my windshield freeze instantaneously? I need to use a metaheuristic algorithm to solve an optimization problem on a Python codebase.  Metaheuristics usually need to be written in C++ or Java as they involve a lot of iterations, while Python is weak from this point of view.  Questions:   do any Python metaheuristic packages which wrap faster languages as C++/Java exist? do any Python metaheuristic packages based on maybe cython on numba exist? other solutions? Complex zeros of the polynomials $\sum_{k=0}^{n} z^k/k!$, inside balls How can I get this symbol without using bbold? I am giving a presentation and therefore I am using the  class. I have included some figures and it works, but there is no number after "Figure".  My code:  \documentclass{beamer}  \usepackage{graphicx} \usepackage[latin1]{inputenc} \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} \usepackage[english]{babel} \usepackage{listings} \usepackage{xcolor} \usepackage{eso-pic} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{url} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{multirow} \usepackage{hyperref} \usepackage{booktabs} \usepackage{wallpaper} \usepackage{bbm} \usepackage{cooltooltips} \usepackage{eso-pic} \usepackage{everyshi} \usepackage{calc} \usepackage{graphicx} \usepackage{ifthen} \usepackage{graphicx} \usepackage{wrapfig} \usepackage{animate} \usepackage[singlespacing]{setspace} \usepackage[absolute,overlay]{textpos} \usepackage{enumerate} \usepackage{hyperref} \newenvironment{changemargin}[2]{%   \begin{list}{}{%     \setlength{\topsep}{0pt}%     \setlength{\leftmargin}{#1}%     \setlength{\rightmargin}{#2}%     \setlength{\listparindent}{\parindent}%     \setlength{\itemindent}{\parindent}%     \setlength{\parsep}{\parskip}%   }%   \item[]}{\end{list}}  \setbeamercolor{frametitle}{fg=red,bg=white}  \hypersetup{pdfpagemode=FullScreen} \renewcommand*{\UrlFont}{\normalfont}  \usetheme{Goettingen} \useinnertheme{circles} \beamertemplatenavigationsymbolsempty  \setbeamerfont{page number in head/foot}{size=\large} \setbeamertemplate{footline}[frame number]   %%% \begin{document}  \frame[plain]{ \titlepage }  \setbeamertemplate{background canvas}[default]  \frame{ \frametitle{}  \begin{figure} \begin{center} \includegraphics[scale=0.2]{varweakness} \caption{VaR as a quantile} \end{center} \end{figure}  }   \end{document}   Which gives the following frame with the figure:    (I am not sure what is causing the problem, therefore I did not delete any package.)  How can I get a number, e.g. Figure 1:? Can ovulation and menstruation occur simultaneously? Is that possible that ovulation happens in the time of actual menstrual haemorrhage in human females - let say in a case that woman has 21 day cycle and her menstrual period is 7 days?   If yes, does it means that in this particular case the woman has lower chances to conceive? We should make books of our best content! And that's a good idea!  We have a lot of high quality content here, certainly enough for a small book.   I'm not saying that it necessarily has to be integrated into the main site, but this is just a suggestion if anyone wants to implement it.   Stack Exchange probably could make money selling the physical books though. CC-BY-SA allows selling, as long as you allow others to make copies of your book, and credit the author.  What Wikipedia does is you can custom order any set of articles as a book (it even has a nice set of authors at the end, to satisfy the BY part of CC-BY-SA).  This could even tie into the docs feature. Question Tag problem! Question:     A man like you should not do this, _______?   Which question tag should I use in the blank space?   should he? should you?   Which would be grammatically correct? I think 1 is true. Is "chutzpah" used by non-Jewish English speakers? This is a question that keeps bothering me: much of mathematics was created by extending rules to new domains e.g. negative numbers were created by consistently extending arithmetic beyond positive integers. However, with number bases it seems impossible to do this. Number bases are integers, but could they be rational numbers? I've had previous discussions about this, see . One problem can be seen with this example: in base 2.5, 0.22 is greater than one. That's not what we want! What, if anything, can be done about this?  EDIT: To put it another way - if every positional number is less than any digit to its left, why doesn't this apply to fractional base positional numbers? How to diagnose a search engine ranking drop? There has been a significant drop (90%) in traffic from Google to one of my well-established sites (6+ years) in the last week. Searches show that the top 3 wide keywords all dropped 4 spots. Searches for other keywords do not show ANY results in the first 10 to 25 pages of results, while previously one 1st or 2nd page at most.  Since there are , the question really is:  What steps are necessary to figure out what caused such a drop?  There have been no major changes during this period or the last month on the site and certainly not in the homepage which has dropped in rank. Over all the years of running this site and plenty of others, I have never experienced this. There are is duplicate content on my site and I have rigorously used canonical links for the last few years to ensure it is not misinterpreted as such. The following you could have seen in  (sorry, I've commented there, so you won't see it anymore) in Chrome 35.0.1916.153 m (current version). Notice how the add comment link overlaps the bounty box:    The same you can observe with a comment box on other sites, e.g. at this time in :    Could you shift it a bit down ?  It seems that it happens on more than just Stack Overflow (maybe all sites ?). Using a wi-fi and an ethernet connection at the same time thus having more bandwidth? In my native language, we can say:     I have dog   Because I don't want to say a dog (one dog, how many dogs) or the dog (that dog, the listener don't care which dog).  p.s. after 3 years later, I have to say, why I ask this question, is I still cannot grasp how to use the right 'article word'. sometimes, a noun will use an article, sometimes, a noun could not(or omit) the article word before it. there aren't a formula for this. So, I have to remember all the time! I feel so frustrate When to use IComparable Vs. IComparer I'm trying to figure out which of these interfaces I need to implement. They both essentially do the same thing. When would I use one over the other? right (opposite of left) connected to right (legal term)? How to get function's name from function's pointer in Linux kernel? Windows 7 / 8 stop modal dialogue flash on parent focus Is there some setting in Windows where I can change the default behavior that causes the border and title of a modal dialogue box to flash like 6 or 7 times when I click on the parent window?  Simply focusing it would be plenty to let me know what I did was wrong.   I don't feel the need for all the sirens and bull horns and strobe lights to let me know I clicked in the wrong place. I want to implement an addition key layer, so that I can access non-alphanumeric keys without having to move my wrists.  I've been using Autokey for this purpose, but the experience was unsatisfactory: it had occasional lags and let original keystrokes slip into certain apps.  So I need a low-level solution.
