Q: Is it possible to "bundle" template parameters in C++? Is there a way to "bundle" template parameters together to avoid repetition?
I have several classes and functions that all use the same three template parameters.  It is not unusual to have a function that uses each class/function once.  The resulting code gets very messy very quickly.
Is there a more concise way to write this code?
// ContextFactory is a pointer to functions that instantiate objects that are subtypes of MetricContext
template<typename VertexID, typename EdgeMembershipType, typename SetBitmap>
using ContextFactory = MetricContext <VertexID, EdgeMembershipType, SetBitmap> *(*)(const char *);

template<typename VertexID, typename EdgeMembershipType, typename SetBitmap>
    static vector<ContextFactory<VertexID, EdgeMembershipType, SetBitmap>> buildCFList() {
      vector<ContextFactory<VertexID, EdgeMembershipType, SetBitmap>> answer;
      answer.push_back(MetricContext<VertexID, EdgeMembershipType, SetBitmap>::template make<NeoContext<VertexID, EdgeMembershipType, SetBitmap >>);
      return answer;
    };

Notice that almost half of this function is repetition of the string <VertexID, EdgeMembershipType, SetBitmap>>, but each use of this string applies to a different class or function, so I don't think alias will work.
(If it helps, the purpose of this function is to create an array of pointers to functions that will create objects that are subtypes of MetricContext<VertexID, EdgeMembershipType, SetBitmap>>

A: A rather more specific approach than @Quentin's is to make your template depend on a single parameter - which is expected to have typedefs for  VertexID, EdgeMembershipType, and SetBitmap.
// ContextFactory is a pointer to functions that instantiate objects that are
// subtypes of MetricContext
template<typename Types>
using ContextFactory = MetricContext <Types> *(*)(const char *);

template<typename Types>
    static vector<ContextFactory<Types>> buildCFList() {
      vector<ContextFactory<Types>> answer;
      answer.push_back(MetricContext<Types>::template make<NeoContext<Types>>);
      return answer;
    };

Note that when you want to actually use one of the typedefs, you will need to use for example: typename Types::VertexID.
(Ideally you would come up with a better name than Types for the template argument.)

A: Yes, this is possible. Let's define a little helper class to hold a list of types:
template <class... > struct pack { };

And a metafunction that instantiates a template with what's inside a pack:
template <template <class... > class T, class P>
struct unpack_;

template <template <class... > class T, class... P>
struct unpack_<T, pack<P...>> {
    using type = T<P...>;
};

template <template <class... > class T, class P>
using unpack = typename unpack_<T, P>::type;

And we can now store and use our parameter pack:
template <class A, class B, class C>
struct Foo { };

using Params = pack<int, float, double>;

unpack<Foo, Params> f; // f is a Foo<int, float, double>

See it live on Coliru

A: if you're using C++11, you can make use of std::tuple to combine the variables into one.
A simpler example to understand the same can be
template <typename A, typename B, typename C>
void fn() {

 typedef std::tuple<A,B,C> myTuple;

  myTuple tpl;
  cout<<sizeof(std::get<0>(tpl))<<endl;;
  cout<<sizeof(std::get<1>(tpl))<<endl;
  cout<<sizeof(std::get<2>(tpl))<<endl;

}

int main() {

 fn<int,char,long>();

 return 0;
}

For the problem specific to your question, you can create vectors of tuple as
template <typename A, typename B, typename C>
void fn() {

    using mycomb = std::tuple<A,B,C>;

    vector<mycomb> v1;
    v1.push_back(make_tuple(10,'c',20.0));
}

In this way, you don't need to repeat the same. Tuple getter functions are bit awkward at first. The cout examples above demonstrates how to access tuple parameters
Hope this helps

Apple Inc. (AAPL) Begins Production of iPhone 7 at Pegatron Plant
Author: S.Mulhem
California based tech giant, Apple Inc. , has reportedly begun manufacturing its latest smartphone, the iPhone 7. Apple's iPhones have proven to be very successful, building a loyal fan base on an international scale, with many customers replacing their iPhones with the new release as soon as it goes on sale. The first generation iPhone was released on the 29/06/2007, featuring the firm's iOS (operating system.)
According to an article published on TrustedReviews.com, journalist Steve Hemmerstoffer recently claimed that Apple Inc. had started production of its iPhone 7 handset at the China based Pegatron factory. Pegatron is a Taiwanese company that manufactures a substantial proportion of Apple's iPhones. Via a Tweet, Steve Hemmerstoffer claimed that only the 4.7" (not the 5.5" plus version) iPhone 7 will be produced at the Pegatron factory.
Apple Inc. Set to Unveil iPhone 7 in September 2016
There is a general consensus that Apple Inc. will officially unveil their iPhone 7 smartphone at their annual product launch, which is scheduled for this September. In terms of design changes to the new iPhone, it is rumored that the iPhone 7 Plus will feature a dual-lens camera & it will also be available in a new, deep blue color.
Apple.Inc revealed their new iOS 10 at the recently held Worldwide Developers Conference. An article published on LearnBonds read "Apple's iOS 10 is designed to make the next generation of i-devices more interactive in the way they work. The showcasings at the WWDC exposed a faster and engaging platform. This time around, the company actually wants users to notice the efficiency of their gadgets," stating that the new operating system could substantially boost the performance of Apple's consumer electronics.
China Bans Sale of iPhone 6 Over Patent Dispute
In other iPhone news, Beijing's Intellectual Property Office has banned the sale of iPhone 6 devices after Shenzhen Baili filed a patent claim. The claim states that the iPhone 6 is similar to their 100C phone. Currently, sales of the iPhone 6 continue in China, as Apple Inc. has appealed the case, hoping to get the judgement overruled. The ruling came as a surprise to many analysts & the U.S. multinational tech giant. China is a big market for any international business, & Apple is not prepared to be denied access to this market.
As the NASDAQ closed on the 17/06/2016, a share in Apple Inc. was down by 2.28% on the day, trading at $95.33, giving the firm a market capitalization of $524.37 billion. Their share price peaked in May 2015, at more than $130 per share.

Chris Mueller, Appleton Post-Crescent Published 7:27 a.m. CT March 26, 2019 | Updated 2:19 p.m. CT March 26, 2019
NEW LONDON - Two teenage boys are accused of running away from Rawhide Boys Ranch, then leading police on multiple high-speed chases before crashing a stolen vehicle.
The vehicle was reported stolen Saturday from a home in rural New London, according to the Waupaca County Sheriff's Office.
New London police spotted the vehicle, but the driver refused to stop and attempted to elude police at a high rate of speed, police said. New London police eventually called off the chase.
The vehicle was later spotted driving north on U.S. 45 by Waupaca County deputies, who also ended their pursuit because of the high speeds. Clintonville police also saw the vehicle, but again called off their pursuit after a short chase.
After driving to Shawano County, the vehicle crashed while being chased by deputies, police said. Two boys, a 15-year-old and a 17-year-old, were taken into custody after the vehicle crashed. Both were hurt in the crash, but police didn't provide additional details.

Rupsys: EUR 10 mln drop in defense budget will affect tactical training
A 10 million euro drop in defense funding under Lithuania's updated budget bill will make the army reconsider its tactical training plans for the next year, the country's Chief of Defense Valdemaras Rupsys says.

"It's not a small amount, and when planning the next year's budget expenditure, we definitely took those 10 million euros into account. But that's a political decision. Of course, it will affect our activity in some way, it will probably affect tactical training as well, and we will have to reconsider our plans slightly," he told the national radio LRT on Monday.
The chief of defense said the army would not renounce the planned weaponry or military equipment acquisitions and also other planned purchases, construction and repair work when saving funds, he said.
"But we will not set new goals and tasks," Rupsys said.
The updated budget bill put before the Lithuanian Seimas in early December stipulates the allocation of slightly over 1.017 billion euros for defense due to changes in economic growth forecasts, down from over 1.027 million euros planned before.

TYLER APPEALS COURT GRANTS MANDAMUS ON INSURER'S MOTION TO SEVER EXTRA-CONTRACTUAL CLAIMS
Last week a Texas appellate court conditionally granted a writ of mandamus and directed the trial court to vacate its previous order denying a motion to sever extra-contractual claims.
The dispute in In Re: AAA Texas County Mutual Insurance Company v. Hon. David Scott Brabham, No. 12-15-00277-CV, 2016 WL 4395817 (Tex. App. Aug. 18, 2016), arose when the trial court denied a motion to sever and abate extra-contractual claims and compelled AAA to respond to discovery on extra-contractual claims. The underlying case was cause number 2014-1365-A, styled Thomas Jackson vs. AAA Texas County Mutual Insurance Company in the 188th District Court of Gregg County, Texas. On June 12, 2013, vehicles driven by Thomas Jackson and Patricia Tompkins were involved in a collision. Jackson filed a claim for underinsured motorist (UIM) benefits with his insurer AAA. Jackson later filed a lawsuit against AAA for breach of contract under the UIM portion of his policy, alleging violations of the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act and the Texas Insurance Code, and breach of the duty of good faith and fair dealing. AAA filed a motion to sever and abate the extra-contractual claims. Following a hearing, the trial court denied the motion but ordered that the contractual and extra-contractual claims be heard separately in a bifurcated trial and granted a motion to compel discovery regarding the extra-contractual claims. AAA then sought mandamus.
The court began its analysis by reciting Texas law that mandamus is an extraordinary remedy, but appropriate when a motion to sever and abate extra-contractual claims is denied. AAA argued that the trial court abused its discretion when it denied the motion to sever and abate and compelled discovery and that a bifurcated trial is not sufficient to protect AAA's interests. The appellate court found that although a trial court has considerable discretion, that discretion is not unlimited. Abatement is required when a determination on the breach of contract claim in favor of the insurer will negate the insured's extra-contractual claims. Without the abatement, the parties would be put to the effort and expense of conducting discovery and preparing for trial of claims that may be disposed of in a previous trial.
The court concluded that a bifurcation does not sufficiently protect the interests of an insurer in this context because the order rendered at the end of a bifurcated trial may not be final and appealable. In the context of insurance cases, a breach of an insurance contract claim is separate and distinct from bad faith, Insurance Code, or DTPA causes of action and each might constitute a complete lawsuit within itself. An insured may not prevail on a bad faith claim without first showing that the insurer breached the contract. Further, the Texas Supreme Court has recognized that severance may be necessary if the "insurer has made a settlement offer on the disputed contract claim" or if there are "other compelling circumstances." In the context of UIM coverage, an insurer is under no contractual duty to pay UIM benefits until the insured proves that the insured has UIM coverage, that the other driver negligently caused the accident that resulted in covered damages, the amount of the insured's damages, and that the other driver's insurance coverage is deficient. Thus, an insured generally must first establish that the insurer is liable on the contract before the insured can recover on extra-contractual causes of action against an insurer for failing to promptly pay, failing to settle, or failing to investigate an underinsured motorist insurance claim.
The court conditionally granted the writ because the extra-contractual claims ultimately could be rendered moot and AAA should not be required to put forth the effort and expense of conducting discovery and preparing for a trial on those claims. The court concluded that the trial court abused its discretion when it denied the motion to sever and abate and compelled discovery on the extra-contractual claims.


Multi-platinum UK singer-songwriter Newton Faulkner has exclusively revealed Irish tour dates for 2014 including a headline performance at The Olympia Theatre, Dublin on Thursday, 6 February.
Faulkner will play Dublin's Olympia on 6th February 2014, before travelling to the Cork Opera House on the 7th. The tour will wind up with shows at Galway's Seapoint on the 8th February before its final night in the Limelight in Belfast on Sunday 6th February.
Faulkner is set to release his new album Studio Zoo through on August 26. Newton made history while producing the album as he live-streamed the entire recording process 24/7 for 5 weeks from his home studio. Fans could log in online to follow every detail of the ups, downs, dramas and laughs including guest appearances from Ted Dwayne (Mumford & Sons) and X Factor's Janet Devlin.
At the start of the project, Newton announced: "I am as excited as I am terrified by the prospect of having a house full of cameras film me while trying to record an album. The entire recording process will be streamed live and nothing has been recorded in advance - apart from some particularly good hand claps recorded in Paris. The album will be made before your very eyes, no tricks, no producer and no engineer, just me, a guitar and a few surprise guests".
Tickets for the Olympia priced €26 inclusive of booking fee and go on sale this Friday, 23 August.

Q: App Insights Workbooks - Is it possible to change the order of the stacked columns? Currently in Application Insights Workbooks, a stacked barchart is sorted by the "count" value like so:

Preferably, I would want to sort the above chart by the duration in ascending order(0-3sec, 3-6sec, etc). Unfortunately order by duration asc doesn't seem to have any effect within Workbooks. Is it possible to change the order these are stacked in?

A: At the current time, no.  It looks like the underlying chart we are using thinks the biggest series is the most important and always does it that way, ordering them by count desc.

Published in North Jersey Record – October 12, 2018
On August 23, 2018, the North Jersey Record published an op-ed on transit in New Jersey that called for a new vision for the mass transit systems serving the tri-state region. Here is my transit vision, based on my experience of having created and chaired the PATH Riders Council for the past four years. Let's make the customer experience of transit rival that of the interstate highway system: simple signage, standardized wayfinding, seamless payment, and a streamlined network to get you from Point A to Point B.
In many cities, one of the vexing impediments to a superior customer experience stems from the existence of multiple transit providers. Each agency has developed its own methods of interacting with its customers. From the customer perspective, especially for people who travel beyond the boundaries of an individual agency's services, the resulting experience can feel disjointed.
Multiple maps and journey planning tools make the customer do all the work to see how transit can get them from point A to point B. Discoordinated schedules lead to long waits for transfers, making a transit trip less desirable. Widely varying design standards for signage and wayfinding increase confusion for the customer, especially in unfamiliar environments. Balkanized fare payment systems require a customer to buy multiple tickets and passes for a single journey.
This perfect storm of complexity is exacerbated by service disruptions. During these incidents, the communication from agencies is rightly focused on alerts, alternate service options, and cross-honoring of tickets and passes on adjacent services operated by other agencies. However, when agencies only offer service updates, they stop short of building trust by providing in-depth information on what caused service disruptions, empathetically engaging with customers, and sharing a transit vision that's necessary to spur much-needed investment in the region's aging infrastructure.
All of this can push people to opt for the perceived simplicity of a ride-hailing app, or to get behind the wheel and drive themselves, thus compounding the negative impacts on our region's desirability, economy, quality of life, and environmental sustainability. The United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change published a landmark report on October 8, 2018, that calls for unprecedented action to keep warming below the 1.5°C threshold above which the most damaging effects of climate change will be inescapable. Transportation accounts for 28% of worldwide energy demand, and 23% of greenhouse gas emissions that directly contribute to atmospheric warming. To reduce transportation's impact on climate change, the report specifically calls for a greater switch from cars to buses and trains.
"it is primarily the switching of passengers and freight from less- to more-efficient travel modes (e.g., cars, trucks and airplanes to buses and trains) that is the main strategy"
A key driver of car usage is ease of use. Roads and highways managed by various cities, counties, and states are seamlessly integrated, with consistent signage, standardized infrastructure, and seamless payment systems like E-ZPass, which is used throughout 17 states extending from the eastern seaboard to the Midwest. The US Interstate highway shield, with its iconic blue and red background, is applied consistently throughout the country to identify highways that are individually managed by the 48 contiguous states, Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico.
To make the transit experience similarly seamless, advocates, task forces, and elected officials tend to propose merging agencies. Legislators from the San Francisco Bay Area proposed a merger of BART and AC Transit in 1988. In 2014, a gubernatorial task force in Illinois recommended merging Chicagoland's three transit agencies, and eliminating a fourth agency responsible for regional planning, and oversight of the other three. A 2017 report by the Regional Plan Association, an advocacy group in the New York metro area, proposed merging three regional railroads into one superagency.
Merging agencies, however, is not a quick solution. It may even be politically infeasible in regions where the various agencies serve more than a single urban area, or are accountable to different state or provincial governments. Fortunately, there is a better way!
Instead of trying to change governance structures, agencies and advocates can harmonize the customer experience by focusing on the 'connective tissue'—the maps, schedules, wayfinding, fare payment, and customer communications—to improve transit's ease-of-use, ability to take people where they need to go, and desirability compared to other options. Governor Phil Murphy's recently released comprehensive review of NJ Transit identifies customer experience as the second highest priority for the agency.
Customer experience is increasingly the most critical factor in consumer decision making…Research proves that a positive customer experience creates more satisfied, loyal, and profitable customers…They also may advocate for the company, product, or service. Therefore, a critical goal for NJ Transit is to understand the rider's journey, the touchpoints, and the "moments that matter" in customer experience.
During the past half-century, Germany's urban regions have harmonized their transit customer experience via the Verkehrsverbund, or transport association. The first such organization, Hamburger Verkehrsverbund (HVV), was established in Hamburg in 1965 to unify fare payment and harmonize schedules, and today, it serves 2.5 million daily riders in a region with 3.4 million residents.
The Verkehrsverbund model shows us how agencies can strengthen their 'connective tissue' by working together to harmonize maps, customer information, fare structure, and ticketing, while still maintaining each agency's culture, history, and responsibility to those that govern it. Joining together on the customer experience is the best way for agencies to make transit appealing to new and existing customers alike.
In 2015, I published the New York & New Jersey Subway Map as a transit vision proof-of-concept to demonstrate how a single map could give people a comprehensive, harmonized view of the transit options available throughout our region. It is based on the design of the New York City Subway Map, one of the most recognizable transit wayfinding tools in the world, and incorporates subway, light rail, regional and intercity rail, and ferry services. Tens of thousands of riders now use the New York & New Jersey Subway Map to help them navigate the NYC metro area.
The MTA and NJ Transit have worked together to provide the Train to the Game for professional football games at MetLife Stadium in the New Jersey Meadowlands. This transit vision and collaboration gives customers a one-ticket ride from any Metro-North station to MetLife Stadium, and direct, through-running train service from the New Haven Line to New Jersey.
In 2014, all of the region's transit agencies worked together with the National Football League on the Mass Transit Super Bowl, a transit service and marketing plan designed to move the majority of attendees for Super Bowl XLVIII and Super Bowl Week. The plan included coordinated service, schedules, fares, and customer information, including the regional transit diagram, a map showing transit service in portions of New York and New Jersey surrounding the Super Bowl venues and events. The appeal of seamless transit to the stadium exceeded projections by the NFL and transit agencies. Unforeseen demand, congestion and last-minute work-arounds on game day provided a good lesson for those in charge of introducing new riders to regional transit infrastructure: connect it and they will come.
This year, the MTA and Port Authority of New York & New Jersey, in collaboration with the PATH Riders Council, streamlined transfers and fare payment between PATH and the New York City Subway during PTC weekend work periods. While PATH service to Midtown Manahattan is suspended on weekends, customers arriving at World Trade Center receive a free, 2-trip MetroCard, which makes transit as seamless as possible during this important work to modernize signal and safety systems.
Notwithstanding the constraints imposed outside the transit community, the agencies in our region have shown they can cooperate and collaborate in ways that benefit customers throughout the region. To increase inter-agency collaboration, let's encourage the agencies to establish an interagency transit task force to standardize customer information, maps, and wayfinding signage; harmonize fare payment, schedules, and transfers, and develop a more transparent, empathetic, and trust-building approach to customer communications. This will deliver transformational improvements in the short-term, and set the stage for ever-greater collaboration in the years to come.

Design Longevity: New York City Subway Map
ByStewart Mader July 12, 2010 October 23, 2020

Q: trying to understand the Affine Transform I am playing with the affine transform in OpenCV and I am having trouble getting an intuitive understanding of it workings, and more specifically, just how do I specify the parameters of the map matrix so I can get a specific desired result.
To setup the question, the procedure I am using is 1st to define a warp matrix, then do the transform.
In OpenCV the 2 routines are (I am using an example in the excellent book OpenCV by Bradski & Kaehler):
cvGetAffineTransorm(srcTri, dstTri, warp_matrix);
cvWarpAffine(src, dst, warp_mat);

To define the warp matrix, srcTri and dstTri are defined as:
CvPoint2D32f srcTri[3], dstTri[3];

srcTri[3] is populated as follows:
srcTri[0].x = 0;
srcTri[0].y = 0;
srcTri[1].x = src->width - 1;
srcTri[1].y = 0;
srcTri[2].x = 0;
srcTri[2].y = src->height -1;

This is essentially the top left point, top right point, and bottom left point of the image for starting point of the matrix. This part makes sense to me.
But the values for dstTri[3] just are confusing, at least, when I vary a single point, I do not get the result I expect.
For example, if I then use the following for the dstTri[3]:
dstTri[0].x = 0;
dstTri[0].y = 0;
dstTri[1].x = src->width - 1;
dstTri[1].y = 0;
dstTri[2].x = 0;
dstTri[2].y = 100;

It seems that the only difference between the src and the dst point is that the bottom left point is moved to the right by 100 pixels. Intuitively, I feel that the bottom part of the image should be shifted to the right by 100 pixels, but this is not so.
Also, if I use the exact same values for dstTri[3] that I use for srcTri[3], I would think that the transform would produce the exact same image--but it does not.
Clearly, I do not understand what is going on here. So, what does the mapping from the srcTri[] to the dstTri[] represent?

A: Here is a mathematical explanation of an affine transform:
this is a matrix of size 3x3 that applies the following transformations on a 2D vector: Scale in X axis, scale Y, rotation, skew, and translation on the X and Y axes.
These are 6 transformations and thus you have six elements in your 3x3 matrix. The bottom row is always [0 0 1].
Why? because the bottom row represents the perspective transformation in axis x and y, and affine transformation does not include perspective transform.
(If you want to apply perspective warping use homography: also 3x3 matrix )
What is the relation between 6 values you insert into affine matrix and the 6 transformations it does? Let us look at this 3x3 matrix like
e*Zx*cos(a), -q1*sin(a)  ,  dx,
e*q2*sin(a),     Z y*cos(a),  dy,
0       ,            0  ,   1

*

*The dx and

*dy elements are translation in x and y axis (just move the picture left-right, up down).

*Zx is the relative scale(zoom) you apply to the image in X axis.

*Zy is the same as above for y axis

*a is the angle of rotation of the image. This is tricky since when you want to rotate by 'a' you have to insert sin(), cos() in 4 different places in the matrix.

*'q' is the skew parameter. It is rarely used. It will cause your image to skew on the side (q1 causes y axis affects x axis and q2 causes x axis affect y axis)

*Bonus: 'e' parameter is actually not a transformation. It can have values 1,-1. If it is 1 then nothing happens, but if it is -1 than the image is flipped horizontally. You can use it also to flip the image vertically but, this type of transformation is rarely used.

Very important Note!!!!!
The above explanation is mathematical. It assumes you multiply the matrix by the column vector from the right. As far as I remember, Matlab uses reverse multiplication (row vector from the left) so you will need to transpose this matrix. I am pretty sure that OpenCV uses regular multiplication but you need to check it.
Just enter only translation matrix (x shifted by 10 pixels, y by 1).
1,0,10
0,1,1
0,0,1

If you see a normal shift than everything is OK, but If shit appears than transpose the matrix to:
1,0,0
0,1,0
10,1,1

The leader of Hamas in Gaza stated that his organization is ready to negotiate a deal that will see to the return of the bodies of Hadar Goldin and Oron Shaul if Israel releases the security prisoners who were arrested after being released as part of the Gilad Shalit prisoner swap. "We have cards when it comes to prisoners," he explained.
Yesterday, it was reported that Hamas recently took a firmer position regarding the possibility of negotiations for a prisoner exchange. According to the report, the terrorist organization is demanding that before it enters negotiations with Israel, thousands of prisoners who were arrested during Operation Brother's Keeper need to be released.

Q: Non-existence of a Surjective Function from a Set to Its Subsets (Cantor's theorem) Show that: Let A be a set and let $P(A)$ be the set of all subsets of $A$. Then there is no surjection $f: A→P(A)$.
Here is what I thought:
if $A=\{a,b\}$ then it has only two elements where $P(A)=\{∅,\{a\},\{b\},\{a,b\}\}$ has 4 elements. Therefore $f:A→P(A)$ cannot be surjective. But I have some problems:
1) How is it possible that any $f$ function to take $\{a\}$ from set $A$ to $\{a,b\}$? Maybe because I am thinking mainly about functions with real values like $f(x)=2x$, I find it a little bit strange that a function to take an element of a set to another set which has more elements. Is it possible?
edit: Now I thought that if $f(x)$ is $\sqrt{x}$, then $f(4)=±2$ which means it took an element from a set to a set which has 2 elements. But still I find it kind of strange to denote $f(\{a\})=\{a,b,c,...\}$
2) How can I construct a explicit proof for this question?
Regards

A: Cantor's theorem states:

Suppose that $A$ is a set and $f\colon A\to\mathcal P(A)$ is any function, then $f$ is not surjective.

The proof is quite simple, and constructive!
Proof. Suppose that $f\colon A\to\mathcal P(A)$ is a function, we define $D=\{a\in A\mid a\notin f(a)\}$. This is a good definition, since $f(a)$ is a subset of $A$, and $a$ is an element of $A$, we can ask whether or not $a\in f(a)$. So $D$ is the set of those elements of $A$ which do not have this property.
Of course that $D\in\mathcal P(A)$ since it is clearly a subset of $A$. We will show that $f(a)\neq D$ for all $a\in A$.

*

*If $a\in D$ then, by definition of $D$, $a\notin f(a)$. So $f(a)\neq D$, since the element $a$ belongs to D but not to $f(a)$.

*If $a\notin D$ then, by definition of $D$, $a\in f(a)$. By the same argument, again $f(a)\neq D$.

Either way, $D\neq f(a)$ for all $a\in A$. Therefore $f$ is not surjective. $\square$

Note that for different functions we have different $D$'s. It is possible that $D=A$ (e.g. if $f(a)=\varnothing$ for all $a$), or it could be $\varnothing$ (e.g. if $f(a)=\{a\}$ for all $a$). However regardless to its value it will not be in the range of $f$.

A: Look up Cantor's Theorem. There are several versions of this theorem. The basic version is to the effect that there is no bijection between a set $A$ and its power set $P(A)$. One of the proofs goes by showing there is no surjection from $A$ to $P(A)$. What one does is to assume there is, so that for each $a$ there is a subset $f(a)$ in the power set. Then one defines a set $B$ by saying that $x$ is in $B$ if and only if $x$ is NOT in the set $f(x)$. Now you ask: Is $x$ in $B$? If it is, it isn't, and if it isn't then it is... either way you get a contradiction!

A: For those who are looking for an explanation for the answer given by Asaf Karagila:
Given a set of any non-zero size, it is possible to create a larger set by taking the set of subsets of the original.
Suppose we have a set N, consisting of  {A,B,C,D}.  We can then identify set S as the set of all subsets of N. We can conduct a little mental experiment by writing the members of N in a row and then the members of S in another row below the first, like so:
N        A    B    C    D
S       {} {A} {B} {A} {D} {AB} {AC} {AD} {BC} {BD} {CD} {ABC} {ABD} {ACD} {BCD} {ABCD}

Next, we randomly take four elements of S and match them up with the elements of N. Say we take  {A} {AB} {BD} {ACD} and match them with A B C D of N respectively.
We can find an element of S that is not matched up checking whether an element of set N is matched with a subset that contains it.  For example, "yes" for A, "no" for B, "no" for  C, and "yes" for  D. With this information, we can be sure that the subset {BC} has not been matched with any member of N. Because every element of N has been matched with an element of S, and there is at least one "leftover" element of S, we can say that S is definitely larger than N.  Note that we did not have to count the members of either set to figure this out.
Let's again attempt to match up every member of N with a member of D.  We can ask the "yes or no" questions from before to find out which members of N are paired up with subsets that contain them. Let's say that any members of N for which the answer is "no" go into a new set called W.  The set  W  is then the subset of N containing members that are not paired up with a subset that contains them. Because W is a subset of N, it must be in S, which is the set of all subsets of N. Can W be matched up with some element of N? Let's say that w, a member of N, is matched up with W. If w  is in W, then it is matched up with a subset that contains it, which by definition means that it cannot be in W; therefore, we have a logical contradiction.

Fantasy Basketball Week 4: News, notes, and updates from around the NBA
January 12, 2021, 4:58 PM ·13 min read
By Nick Whalen, RotoWire
Special to Yahoo Sports
Week 4 of the fantasy basketball season is upon us and with it, unprecedented levels of uncertainty. As multiple teams deal with COVID-19 contact tracing, three more games have already been postponed, while several key players will miss parts, if not all, of the week.
The NBA tightened up its health and safety protocols Tuesday, but for the time being, the message is clear: Obstacles or not, the show must go on. For now, the league will continue to play as many games as it can — it's worth noting that the four postponements thus far represent less than one percent of the NBA's regular season — while re-emphasizing its policies to teams and players.
For fantasy players, especially those in weekly leagues, the lack of clarity is frustrating. But if nothing else, it's forced managers to be more vigilant and engaged than ever.
As we take a look around the league, ignoring the ramifications of the virus is impossible, so that's where we'll begin this week. We'll also touch on the status of Kyrie Irving, impressive rookie point guards, Russell Westbrook, a more aggressive Anthony Davis, and much more.
COVID-19 absences and subsequent postponements ramp up
After a relatively smooth start, it looked as though the league had enacted enough policies to prevent COVID-19 from significantly hamstringing the season. It was naive to think the virus wouldn't rear its head at some point, but for the most part, teams and players were able to operate about as normally as possible given the circumstances. Suffice it to say, things have taken a turn for the worse.
Now three full weeks into the regular season, several teams — the Sixers, Mavericks, Celtics, Heat, and Wizards — are dealing with a barrage of COVID-related absences. Monday's Mavericks-Pelicans matchup was postponed after it was determined that Dallas would not be able to field the eight players required for the game to take place. Tuesday night's Celtics-Bulls game and Wednesday's Celtics-Magic game were also postponed for the same reason.
Anyone who paid attention to the MLB, NFL, and college football seasons knew it would be impossible for the NBA's to go off without some hitches. And maybe, when April comes around — we'll look back and this will be the worst of it. But for fantasy managers, the lack of transparency and apparent randomness of it all has made navigating roster decisions nearly impossible. While some players are ruled out for 10-to-14 days, others' statuses seem to be determined on a game-to-game basis. The need for privacy surrounding the virus is understandable, but it's become incredibly difficult to discern who has the virus, who might have the virus, and who could simply be sidelined for a day or two while contact tracing is conducted.
Heading into Tuesday night, here's what we know about each team currently dealing with COVID-19 issues:
Seth Curry tested positive for COVID-19 and is expected to remain out until the middle of next week
Shake Milton, Matisse Thybulle, Vincent Poirier, and Tobias Harris are expected to remain out "until at least Saturday," per Doc Rivers.
Neither Ben Simmons nor Joel Embiid is dealing with the virus.
Josh Richardson, Dorian Finney-Smith, and Jalen Brunson are facing quarantine periods of at least a week, and perhaps longer. Maxi Kleber is also in the league's health and safety protocols. At this time, it's unclear how many other Mavericks players are affected.
Jayson Tatum, Robert Williams, Grant Williams, Tristan Thompson, Javonte Green, Semi Ojeleye, and Jaylen Brown are all subject to the league's health and safety protocols — so it's easy to see why Tuesday's game was called off. Of that group, only Tatum and Robert Williams have been handed definitive timetables. Both players are expected to miss 10-to-14 days after testing positive for the virus.
Bam Adebayo, Kendrick Nunn, KZ Okpala, Udonis Haslem, Goran Dragic, Jimmy Butler, Moe Harkless, and Avery Bradley have all been ruled out of Tuesday's game against the 76ers due to virus concerns. The Heat will need two of their three injured players — Kelly Olynyk (groin), Gabe Vincent (knee), and Meyers Leonard (shoulder) — to be available Tuesday. Otherwise, the game will have to be postponed.
The Wizards canceled practice Tuesday morning after two players entered the league's health and safety protocols. Those two players are Rui Hachimura and Moe Wagner.
The Kyrie saga continues
While the virus has been the primary storyline of the week, the continued absence of Kyrie Irving grabbed headlines Tuesday morning. A video emerged on social media that purports to show Irving attending a birthday party for his sister, Asia. Irving, who was mask-less in the video, has not addressed the matter, and it remains very much unclear when he'll rejoin the Nets.
ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reported Tuesday that the Nets do not expect to have their star point guard back at any point this week. That means Irving will miss games against Denver (Tuesday), New York (Wednesday), and Orlando (Saturday), running his total up to six consecutive absences.
As anticipated, Caris LeVert has stepped up in Irving's absence, averaging 27.5 points, 6.8 assists, 4.3 rebounds, and 1.0 steal over the last four games. In a loss to Memphis over the weekend, LeVert went 7-of-9 from three on his way to 43 points, six assists, and five boards. Kevin Durant missed three of those games but returned to action Sunday against Oklahoma City.
Zach LaVine heating up
Tuesday's Bulls-Celtics postponement means we'll have to wait a few more days for LaVine's follow-up to Sunday's 45-point eruption in a narrow loss to the Clippers. Through 11 games, LaVine is up to a career-high 27.7 points per game on 49/37/89 shooting splits, while adding 5.1 rebounds, 4.6 assists, and 1.3 steals. Over his last four games, those numbers jump up to 34.4 points, 5.8 boards, and 6.0 assists with a 54/43/89 line. LaVine's career-high 4.1 turnovers per game hurt him in nine-category leagues, but even so, he's been a top-10 player through the first three weeks.

Kristaps Porzingis' return on hold
The Mavs received word Monday morning that Porzingis would make his season debut against the Pelicans, only for the game to be postponed less than an hour later. The hope is that Wednesday's meeting with Charlotte goes on as scheduled, but as the Mavs battle COVID issues, it's possible that contest could be postponed as well.
Either way, Porzingis should be back in the lineup whenever the Mavericks play their next game. He'll likely be limited for a stretch as he works back into game shape, and chances are he'll sit one-half of back-to-backs for most, if not all, of the season. Dallas has three more back-to-back sets in January, the first of which arrives early next week (Sunday vs. CHI; Monday at TOR).
Aggressive Anthony Davis is back
Davis' numbers have been stellar since the start of the season, but he had some strange games (by his standards) in the early going: 18 points and four turnovers against the Clippers; 13 points and two free throw attempts against the Blazers; just two total blocks through his first five games.
Since losing to Portland on Dec. 28, however, the Lakers are 6-1 and Davis looks more like the player who bulldozed through the league in the Orlando bubble.
He's topped 20 points and registered multiple blocks in five of six appearances during that span. Entering Tuesday night's matchup against Houston, Davis has exactly three blocks in four consecutive games. On Sunday, Davis ransacked the Rockets' defense for 27 points (9-12 FG) and a season-high 10 trips to the free-throw line in just 30 minutes.
Any concerns about Davis and the Lakers loafing through the regular season can officially be put to bed. After the Lakers' lone loss in January, a visibly frustrated Davis panned the team's defensive effort. One stat worth monitoring over the next few weeks, though, is Davis' dramatic drop in free throw attempts (4.6 FTA/G, down from 8.5 last season).
In other Lakers news, Talen Horton-Tucker had his best game of the regular season Sunday night, finishing with 17 points, five rebounds, three assists, four steals, and two three-pointers in only 21 minutes. It was only Horton-Tucker's third double-digit scoring game of the season, but his per-minute production has been impressive. In just 16.9 minutes, the 20-year-old is averaging 8.1 points, 2.6 rebounds, 1.8 assists 1.0 steal per game with a 48/36/92 shooting line.
I had a friend ask me this week if the hype around Horton-Tucker is just an Alex Caruso 2.0 situation; that is, Lakers-leaning social media accounts running wild with a player who, ultimately, isn't all that good. Playing in LA has certainly fanned the flames, but it's already clear that Horton-Tucker is way overqualified to be averaging 17 minutes off the bench. I don't think it's a stretch to say he'd be starting for several teams in the league, and as Sean Deveney reported Tuesday morning, some franchises are already planning to pursue him in restricted free agency this summer. If for some reason he's still available in your dynasty league, pick him up immediately.
Karl-Anthony Towns expected back Wednesday
A wrist injury cost Towns six games before he was back in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Spurs. The Wolves sat him out Sunday on the second half of a back-to-back, but all indications are that Towns will return to the lineup Wednesday night. It's a rare two-game week for Minnesota, however, so if you held Towns out of your weekly lineup, you'll still be in good shape.
Cole Anthony struggling
Orlando losing Markelle Fultz for the season was a crushing blow, but the silver lining was that it thrust Anthony, a first-round pick in November, into the starting lineup. Through three starts, the results have not been favorable. Anthony is averaging nearly 28 minutes per game, but he's shooting just 34.3 percent from the field while hitting only 2-of-12 attempts from beyond the arc. He also has just seven total assists in that span after posting 3.4 per game off the bench before Fultz went down. Some managers have already cut bait on Anthony, as he's down to 39% rostered in Yahoo leagues.
The LaMelo Ball show rolls on
While one rookie point guard in the Southeast Division is struggling, another continues his ascent. It feels like a lifetime ago that Ball struggled through his first week of NBA action. Over his last eight games, the No. 3 pick is averaging 15.0 points, 8.3 rebounds, 7.1 assists, and 1.8 steals while holding a respectable 43.6 percent field goal percentage. Even when Ball has a poor shooting night, he's been able to insulate his fantasy value with extremely high-level rebounds and assists production for a rookie guard. Ball has 36 rebounds and 27 assists over his last three games alone. And perhaps most impressively, he's committed two or fewer turnovers in seven of his last eight appearances (28.5 MPG). Entering Tuesday, Ball ranks as a top-35 player in nine-category Yahoo leagues.
Meanwhile, on the West Coast ...
Ball has firmly grabbed the No. 1 spot in the Rookie of the Year race, but Tyrese Haliburton isn't far behind. The steal of the 2020 draft has scored in double-figures in eight of nine games while shooting over 50 percent from the field and from three. Over his last four games, Haliburton is putting up 14.0 points, 6.5 assists, 3.5 rebounds, 1.8 steals, and 3.0 three-pointers with just four total turnovers.
So far, Richaun Holmes is the clear winner of the battle for minutes at center in Sacramento. He saw a season-high 36 minutes in Monday's win over Indiana, finishing with 16 points, 10 boards, and six blocks for his second double-double of the season. Holmes has played at least 23 minutes in nine of 10 appearances, while Hassan Whiteside reached 20 minutes for the first time this season in Saturday's loss to Portland, which Holmes sat out. Foul trouble will always be an issue with Holmes — he's picked up five fouls in four of his last six games — but he's clearly the No. 1 option for Luke Walton. Surprisingly, Whiteside is still rostered in 68 percent of Yahoo leagues, as of Tuesday.
The Russell Westbrook conundrum
The Wizards were without Westbrook for their last two games, and he'll miss at least two additional contests as he deals with a quad injury. Through his first seven appearances, Westbrook's counting stats have once again been impressive. His scoring (19.3 PPG) is at its lowest level since 2010-11, but he's averaging a career-high in assists (11.3) while falling just short of averaging a triple-double (9.7 RPG). Despite averaging the second-most turnovers of his career (5.3 TPG), Westbrook ranks ninth in the league in fantasy points per game (47.3), making him an incredibly productive DFS option.
The problem, of course, is the scoring system does not account for shooting efficiency or category scarcity. After bottoming out with a 4-of-16 shooting performance in Friday's loss to Boston, Westbrook is down to a career-worst 37.8 percent from the field. His three-point percentage (30.3%) is actually slightly better than it's been in recent years, but he's back under 70 percent — 65.7%, to be exact — at the free-throw line. Those numbers, combined with his league-high turnover average and four missed games, leave Westbrook sitting outside of the top 200 in nine-category Yahoo leagues.
Given the level of investment, and the fact that he's Russell Westbrook, simply dropping him probably isn't an option. At least he can be stashed on IR for this week, but the efficiency issues are unlikely to magically fix themselves. If you don't have the pieces to offset the hits in FG%, FT%, and turnovers, I would consider flipping Westbrook to a more optimistic manager, even if it means taking 75 cents on the dollar.
