When creating a Lightning action (with action type as Custom Visualforce or Lightning Component), there is no provision to specify the width (of the modal pop-up). While this can be achived by including custom CSS to the class 'slds-modal__container', I'm not sure if that's the right way to go. Im assuming here that Salesforce or Lightning platform first defines width of the modal pop-up and then resizes contents within according the to the outer HTML element width. If we apply custom CSS, then it will most possibly act on the Outer HTML but not on all of the inner content. is my assumption correct? If yes, then what is the right way to achieve modifying the modal pop-up width?

Do you know how can I set the width of a modal window opened by a lightning component action? In the edit options I can set only the height but is not enough because the content of my table is not completely shown. Here is the code:  <aura:component access="GLOBAL" implements="force:hasRecordId,force:appHostable,flexipage:availableForAllPageTypes,forceCommunity:availableForAllPageTypes,force:lightningQuickAction" controller="OrganizeEnvelopeController" >     <aura:handler name="init" value="{!this}" action="{!c.doInit}" />     <aura:attribute name="plico" type="Envelope__c" />     <aura:attribute name="fixedDocs" type="Bit2Sign__Fixed_Document__mdt[]" />

So I read another article on how to fix the grub rescue... which this this one right here:    So pretty much what I did was this   set root=(hd0,msdos6)  # I tried this with a bunch of other msdosses and hd0s and none of them worked set prefix=(hd0,msdos6)/boot/grub insmod normal #this is when I got the error normal #when i put this in it said 'unknown command   I did this and it kind of failed. I got the error  /boot/grub/i386-pc/normal.mod    I want to know how to fix this so I may boot up windows. Ubuntu/Linux does not exist on my PC. I do not have a windows cd or a live cd or whatever you use to boot up but I do have an empty flash drive. I could install something on the flash drive maybe to boot my PC up? I'm not too sure. I have searched all over the web no luck :/. I really want to be able to access my windows OS.

I have absolutely no experience with Linux, and I desperately need to get my computer back up and running again with Windows.  How do I remove Ubuntu and reinstall Windows?    Editor's note: many of the answers are about removing Ubuntu from dual-boot but keeping Windows (which is a bit complicated), while other answers are about removing Ubuntu from single-boot (which is easy: basically just format the disk while installing Windows). The question as written is ambiguous between dual-boot or single-boot.


I want to append a group with the Python API, like  I would normally do with File > append.  I already tested this solution: , and this one: .  When I use bpy.ops.wm.append() blender crashes, I don't know why (the path is valid because I can link objects with the second method).  When I use bpy.data.libraries.load() I can't find how to import a whole group (not a dupli-group).  By importing a group I mean append all the objects in the group by keeping their relations.

I'm searching a way to append a group in Python.  It should behave exactly like the Append function (ShiftF1) works, all objects should be local and editable. The idea is to append a character (with rig etc.) via Python and not Link it (to be able to modify it without making everything local one by one).  Thanks


If $x\in \mathbb{R}$, and $$x ^3+1 =2\sqrt [ 3 ]{ 2x-1 }$$ find $x$.   I asked my teacher to help me in solving it, he responded I can't! So, I hope you help me in solving it or even giving me hints that will help me in solving.

Solve the following equation over the reals:$$ x^3  + 1 = 2\sqrt[3]{{2x - 1}} $$ I noticed that 1 is a trivial solution, then I tried raising the equation to the 3rd, then dividing the polynomial by $(x-1)$.. But I can't see the solution, how do I go from here?


Suppose $A$ is a complex number and $n\in \mathbb{N}$ such that $A^n = (A+1)^n= 1$, then the least value of $n$ is?   I really doubt this question is correct because if $A= A+1$ then $1=0$, which is obviously false. If it correct, I'd like to know the reason(s) and how do I begin solving the problem (full solution not needed).

Let $z$ be a complex number, and let $n$ be a positive integer such that $z^n = (z + 1)^n = 1$. Prove that $n$ is divisible by 6.  For this problem I am stumped...how should I begin? Also there's a hint for it:  From $z^n = 1$, prove that $|z| = 1$. What does the equation $(z + 1)^n = 1$ tell you? What do the resulting equations tell you about $z$?  Could someone give me a hint on where to begin? thanks in advance


let $p$ be a polynomial. If $p(x)=p(x+1)$ for all real $x$, then prove that $p$ is constant. I can't think of how to prove this. It seems almost trivial, I must be missing something. Any help would be appreciated.

I was thinking if it was possible to create a polynomial that would be periodic all over the reals, since polynomials can be periodic on an interval. I then I found out the following function:  $$P(x)= x \prod_{k=1}^\infty (x-k)(x+k)$$  I wonder if that function can be considered as polynomial since it's degree will be $\infty$. Then is this function periodic of period 1? Since the product is to infinity, $P(x+1) - P(x) = 0$. Moreover, how this function look like? I couldn't trace it on the Mac Grapher app nor Wolfram alpha doesn't understand my commands.


I'm currently importing a table with about 17 million rows in MySQL. What catches my attention is, the number of row seems to be fluctuate.   I used the command show table status while my importing process was running. One time, I got 1.5 million of rows, then I ran that command again and got lower than 1.5 million. How is that possible?

I have a table that has a very high usage (insert/update/select) - one of the operations is to obtain a count of the number of rows. So far I've been using the classic select count(pk) from table but I'm thinking to read it from information_schema instead of doing the count.  select table_rows from tables where table_name = 'my_table'  Is this reliable enough ?  If there is a different method please let me know.  thanks!


I have a WebBrowser in WPF and I keep getting this popup after successful login to a website    I've tried to suppress this using both hide script and an alert blocker without success.  Is there a way to suppress this popup in code only?  Code:          <WebBrowser x:Name="wpfBrowser"                     Height="450"                     MinHeight="450"                     Width="825"                     MinWidth="825"                     view:WebBrowserBehaviors.BindableSource="{Binding LoginViewModel.URL}"                      Navigated="wpfBrowser_Navigated"                     Loaded="wpfBrowser_Loaded"                     LoadCompleted="wpfBrowser_LoadCompleted" KeyUp="wpfBrowser_KeyUp">                         </WebBrowser>       public void HideScriptErrors(WebBrowser wb, bool hide)     {         var fiComWebBrowser = typeof(WebBrowser).GetField("_axIWebBrowser2", BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.NonPublic);         if (fiComWebBrowser == null) return;         var objComWebBrowser = fiComWebBrowser.GetValue(wb);         if (objComWebBrowser == null)         {             wb.Loaded += (o, s) => HideScriptErrors(wb, hide); //In case we are to early             return;         }         objComWebBrowser.GetType().InvokeMember("Silent", BindingFlags.SetProperty, null, objComWebBrowser, new object[] { hide });     }      private void InjectAlertBlocker()     {         mshtml.HTMLDocument document = (mshtml.HTMLDocument)wpfBrowser.Document;         mshtml.IHTMLElement head = document.getElementsByTagName("head").Cast<mshtml.IHTMLElement>().First();         var script = (mshtml.IHTMLScriptElement)document.createElement("script");         string alertBlocker = "window.alert = function () { }";         ((mshtml.HTMLHeadElement)head).appendChild((mshtml.IHTMLDOMNode)script);     }      private void wpfBrowser_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)     {         HideScriptErrors(wpfBrowser, true);     }      private void wpfBrowser_Navigated(object sender, NavigationEventArgs e)     {         try         {             InjectAlertBlocker();         }         catch (Exception ex)         {             NLog.Log(LogLevel.Error, ex, "Logs");         }     }

I have a .NET 2.0 WebBrowser control used to navigate some pages with no user interaction (don't ask...long story).  Because of the user-less nature of this application, I have set the WebBrowser control's ScriptErrorsSuppressed property to true, which the documentation included with VS 2005 states will [...]"hide all its dialog boxes that originate from the underlying ActiveX control, not just script errors." The  doesn't mention this, however. I have managed to cancel the NewWindow event, which prevents popups, so that's taken care of.  Anyone have any experience using one of these and successfully blocking all dialogs, script errors, etc?  EDIT  This isn't a standalone instance of IE, but an instance of a WebBrowser control living on a Windows Form application.  Anyone have any experience with this control, or the underlying one, AxSHDocVW?  EDIT again  Sorry I forgot to mention this... I'm trying to block a JavaScript alert(), with just an OK button.  Maybe I can cast into an IHTMLDocument2 object and access the scripts that way, I've used MSHTML a little bit, anyone know?


Lately, I've been trying to understand the use of pronoun agreement in depth. While in the process I came across this .  According to the Author:     Professional writers might revise the sentence so that a   pronoun is unnecessary. Sometimes, they make the antecedent plural so   that they can use the natural-sounding they, them, or their. Or they   might decide to alternate he and she in the piece so that both genders   get mentioned.      Using he or she or him or her is technically correct. But it's also   bad style. Avoid these constructions if you can.   In the case of following example, what are ways you could avoid using his or her pronoun?     Everyone should take his or her seat.   I am beginner with English grammar, so it would be great if you explain it with clear and simple examples. Also please feel free to demonstrate with your own examples and share your tips.

Is there a pronoun I can use as a gender-neutral pronoun when referring back to a singular noun phrase?  Each student should save his questions until the end. Each student should save her questions until the end.


In java if Objects are pass by reference than in following code,  String str1 = new String("abc"); String str2 = str1; str1 = str1+"def"; System.out.println("str2 : "+str2);   Even after modifying string str1 after assigning it to string str2 I get output as str2 : "abc" instead of "abcdef" so pass by reference does not work in case of string??

I always thought Java uses pass-by-reference. However, I've seen a couple of blog posts (for example, ) that claim that it isn't (the blog post says that Java uses pass-by-value). I don't think I understand the distinction they're making. What is the explanation?


First of all to be clear, the camera was not dropped or anything; it started to behave like this from nothing.  I turned on my camera and first it displayed "Turn off the camera and turn on again". After that, it constantly showed the "Press shutter release button again". Normally I first searched Google for the problem, and all the threads I could find was shutter mechanism needs to be lubricated, or the mirror was jammed etc. All these were due to dropping the camera.   I took the camera to Nikon, and they asked ~250 EUR to fix it. Since I don't have the money right now, I got it back home and turned it on - tada! Camera is working again. I took about 50 pictures when it showed the error again. This started to happen every time: I leave it for couple of hours, turn it on, and take ~50 photos before the error shows again.  I check the mirror, shutter blades and everything, but nothing looks stuck or jammed to me. I'm really puzzled by the "cooldown" time it needs to be working again. If the shutter / mirror / blades / whatever is jammed, it won't work at all.  Does anyone else had this problem? How did you resolve it?

The LCD on my Nikon D3000 is displaying the following error message:     Error. Press shutter release button again.   I have pressed the shutter release button but the camera still does not work.

Given there are 3 logical variables p, q . Show that $(\mathrm p \wedge \mathrm q) \vee (\neg\mathrm p \wedge \neg\mathrm q)$ and $\mathrm p \leftrightarrow \mathrm q$ are logically equivalent without using the truth table.  And here is my steps: $(\mathrm p \wedge \mathrm q) \vee (\neg\mathrm  p \wedge  \neg\mathrm  q)$  I get this. What should I do in order to get rid of it?? ps: i am studing from Discrete mathematics and its application 7th edition rosen Thanks.

I am currently working through Velleman's book How To Prove It and was asked to prove the following  $(P \leftrightarrow Q) \equiv (P \wedge Q) \vee (\neg P \wedge \neg Q)$  This is my work thus far  $(P \to Q) \wedge (Q \to P)$  $(\neg P \vee Q) \wedge (\neg Q \vee P)$ (since $(P \to Q) \equiv (\neg P \vee Q)$)  $\neg[\neg(\neg P \vee Q) \vee \neg (\neg Q \vee P)]$ (Demorgan's Law)  $\neg [(P \wedge \neg Q) \vee (Q \wedge \neg P)]$ (Demorgan's Law)  At this point I am little unsure how to proceed.   Here are a few things I've tried or considered thus far:  I thought that I could perhaps switch some of the terms in step 3 using the law of associativity however the $\neg$ on the outside of the two terms prevents me from doing so (constructing a truth table for $\neg (\neg P \vee Q) \vee (\neg Q \vee P)$ and $\neg (\neg P \vee \neg Q) \vee \neg (P \vee Q)$ for sanity purposes)  I can't seem to apply the law of distribution since the corresponding terms are negated.  Applying demorgans law to one of the terms individually on step 2 or 3 doesnt seem to get me very far either.  Did I perhaps skip something? Am I even on the right track? Any help is appreciated


I used to play destiny on my Ps3 and got to a really high level on most of my characters. I have been talking to my friends about getting a next gen console and they want me to get an xbox one but I don't want to lose all of the things I have worked ages for. Is it possible that I can move the destiny data from my Ps3 to a xbox one?

From what I heard and remember hearing correctly, characters that are leveled up through the PS3 can be transferred to the PS4 version (assuming that both consoles have the game).  So what if I wanted to go back to the PS3 version with some friends? I only have the PS4 version at the moment--would my PS4 characters transfer over to the PS3 side? What if I wanted to go to the 360 version too to play with some other people too?


The following two statements are true about AVR microcontroller's USART Receiver and Transmitter but im curious about that are these also work on stm32F4 ?     When the Transmitter is enabled, the normal port operation of the Tx   pin is overridden by the USART and given the function as the   Transmitter’s serial output.      When the Receiver is enabled, the normal port operation of the Rx   pin is overridden by the USART and given the function as the   Receiver's serial input.

I am trying to configure STM32F4 USART peripheral. I thought that USART Receiver pin(RX) must be programmed as Alternate function to USART works correctly and then the data is present on the I/O pin can moves into the USART Receiver Shift register. I mean that according to the following pictures taken from the STM32F4 Reference manual, when we do configure a pin as Alternate function it gives a way for the data to moves into the Alternate function input(here it is Receiver shift register) but when that pin is configured as Floating input (second picture) the data on that pin is just sampled into the input data register.   So logically i think that USART can't do it's job correctly when Receiver pin is configured as Floating input. but incredibly it does work in a correct way and i dont know why?! The same Problem has been discussed here :  But i couldn't find my answer there. Edited: Ambiguous point is that however in Floating input mode the data will also be sent to the connected Alternate functions But it's important to specify which peripheral this data will be sent to. When the microcontroller starts up from Reset mode, Reset values of almost all Registers is 0 so for instance pin 7 by default is connected to AF0 which that isn't for USART periph. So if we select Floating input mode for that pin and don't determine which alternate function we want to send the data, then the data might be sent to the wrong peripheral instead of USART receiver shift register. But incredibly without determining the peripheral which we want to select as our Alternate function, USART does the work correctly.  Actually my question is WHY does USART work correctly in this way (without determining The actual Alternate function)?


By using \cite{} command, I know how to add a reference. For example, by using code \cite{xxx}, Lemma 1  I have the following output  However, now I want to achieve the following:  i.e., put some text inside the basket generated by \cite{} command. How may I do this? Moreover, for some reasons, my template does not allow me to use natbib package... Thank you for your help!

Let $K$ is a normal subgroup of a group $G$,  if $G \cong G/K$, $K=\{ e \}$?  Firstly, the converse is true.  If $G$ is a finite group, it is obviously true.  But if $G$ is an infinite group, I've no idea how to prove it or to come up with any counterexample.

Let $G$ be any group such that  $$G\cong G/H$$ where $H$ is a normal subgroup of $G$.  If $G$ is finite, then $H$ is the trivial subgroup $\{e\}$. Does the result still hold when $G$ is infinite ? In what kind of group could I search for a counterexample ?

Does Ubuntu have any free photo editor software? I am using Ubuntu and sometime for my work I have to edit pictures. I want to know if any software available in free version

I have been moving toward Ubuntu from a long time Windows development background. The one program I cannot seem to do without is a graphic editor. I have seen recommendations for programs, but they turn out to be directed at children or tailored to working with personal photographs.  I am looking for something more for programming tasks like analysing colors, resizing, creating web graphics, etc. I have used Photoshop in the past and more recently have mostly used Paint.net for Windows.  Is there a program for Ubuntu that covers this area?


Let $k$ be a field, and let $R$ be a subring of $k[X]$ which contains $k$.  Does $R$ have to be a finitely generated $k$-algebra?  I tried to prove this, but I didn't get anywhere.  Would someone kindly give me a hint?

Suppose $k$ is a field, $A$ is a $k$-subalgebra of the polynomial ring $k[x]$. Must $A$ be a finitely generated $k$-algebra?   Thanks.


I'm a beginner in python. I'm trying to use type of a variable type as a condition in the while loop before getting to the clause.   while ((str(type(number))!='<class \'int>'):   try:   number=int(input())     except ValueError:    print('you must enter an integer only')   So what I expected was that the while loop would check if the type of variable number is an integer, then if it is, it would input the new value of number. Otherwise it would show an error, say for float type or str type entries. But it is showing an error like this:   File "C:\Users\nanda\Desktop\hello\collatz.py", line 21 while ((str(type(number))!='<class \'int>'):                                            ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax   I cannot think of any sytax errors. If there is some other way to pass the type of variable into the condition of the while loop, please share it. If someone can point out the syntax errors, that is just as fine.

What is the best way to check whether a given object is of a given type? How about checking whether the object inherits from a given type?  Let's say I have an object o. How do I check whether it's a str?


I've got a villager that I don't like and I want him to move out. How do I do that?

Is there any way to speed up this process or indirectly 'force a villager to move out'?  I know they move out if it's time for a new one to move in, and I know you can't actually 'force' them persay.  I have a villager who has caused nearly all my other villagers to wear his.. rather hideous 'kiddie shirt'. ((the character's default shirt)) Aside from that his home blocks the perfect spot, very close to my river, for building a convenient bridge...  I've taken to pushing him, hitting him with a net, and I've been trying to find a Toy Hammer... He wanted to leave once and I told him to go, but then he said he wouldn't leave until I, "made an effort to get to know him" or some BS..  Are there any other ways I can get an unwanted, 'pesty', villager to leave town?


I'm seeking a word that means you hate your race for whatever reason, but you don't hate yourself for being a part of it, because it wasn't up to you to choose to be so.

Xenophobia refers to the irrational fear or hatred of foreigners. But recently I've seen people displaying (in newspaper articles and other places) an irrational fear or hatred of their own countrymen. Is there a word for that?


I have a value 100.0000. I need truncate it to only two decimal places like 100.00  I need to do it when it have 00's in 3rd and 4 places. How to do it??

When displaying the value of a decimal currently with .ToString(), it's accurate to like 15 decimal places, and since I'm using it to represent dollars and cents, I only want the output to be 2 decimal places.   Do I use a variation of .ToString() for this?


If someone was refused a UK visitor visa, does that mean they cannot visit the UK at all? If so, for how long?

I applied for the UK tourism visa.  I mentioned that I was going to travel only for 2 weeks. However I got rejected because I didn't mention in the application, that I was working, nor mentioned that my dad has a job also.  Although I gave them my dad's bank statement, they were worried that I might go to the UK and not come back, because I might not have enough funds to return to Egypt which is not true.  My mum wrote my application and she didn't know that she was supposed to put my dad's job or mine as well, or whether I stayed with my family or alone. I suspect that's the reason why the visa application got rejected.  I want to apply again for the visa because I want to visit my cousin - she lives there, plus I need to go on a vacation. I want to know whether it's possible for me to apply again for the visa now, or do I have to wait for another six months to reapply?


I just purchased a Lenovo Yoga 3, 14". It comes with a Qualcomm Atheros QCA61x4 wireless network adapter. I have not been successful getting this wifi to work. I have tried some suggestions for Yogas but they, apparently use a different adapter. I have also tried ndiswrapper without any luck. I downloaded a windows driver which installed fine and indicated that it found matching hardware, but still no wifi.  If I cannot get it working soon, I'll have to send the machine back. Life without Ubuntu is not to be considered. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

I just installed Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS after installing windows 10 in my new VN7-571G and the wireless is not working. It never had: even during the installation it was not recognized. I run a script to gather the data , which is . lspci -knn | grep Net -A2 output 03:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Qualcomm Atheros Device [168c:003e] (rev 20)         Subsystem: Lite-On Communications Inc Device [11ad:0804]  The OS behaves like it has no wifi card. I do not see wifi settings in network settings I'm not a linux power user, so I do not know what to do to solve the issue. What should I do to make it work?


Take a particle, it has a position $(x, y, z)$ maybe it is $(0.231, 8.962, 10.567)$.  Is there a maximum precision to this? Is the space discrete or continuous? If it is discrete, how thin the measurement is between a point A and B in space?

On a quantum scale the smallest unit is the , which is a discrete measure.  There several question that come to mind:   Does that mean that particles can only live in a discrete grid-like structure,  i.e. have to "magically" jump from one pocket to the next? But where are they in between? Does that even give rise to the old paradox that movement as such is impossible (e.g. )? Does the same hold true  for time (i.e. that it is discrete) - with all the ensuing paradoxes? Mathematically does it mean that you have to use difference equations instead of differential equations? (And sums instead of integrals?) From the point of view of the space metric do you have to use a discrete metric (e.g. the ) instead of good old Pythagoras?   Thank you for giving me some answers and/or references where I can turn to.  Update: I just saw this call for papers - it seems to be quite a topic after all: Is Reality Digital or Analog?

I was just going through the close vote review queue and noticed that when I scroll down through the post, there are some elements that cover up the review bar as I go. Notable things appearing above the bar include   Tabs on posts flagged as dupes   Quote blocks    Other items behaving this way are question tags, and the post timeline icon. Additionally, quote blocks and tabs being hovered appear to have no background, so the test of the review bar jumbles on top of them.

I was having a look at an old question of mine when I browsed the  from the timeline. I scrolled downwards and realized the Review completed panel comes along for the ride.

I was having trouble with the following integral: $\int_{0}^\infty \frac{\sin(x)}{x}dx$. My question is, how does one go about evaluating this, since its existence seems fairly intuitive, while its solution, at least to me, does not seem particularly obvious.

Are there any ways to evaluate $\int^\infty_0\frac{\sin x}{x}dx$ without using double integral?   I can't find any this kind of solution. Can anyone please help me? Thank you.


What does this warning message mean?  Underfull \hbox (badness 10000) in paragraph at lines 49--50   This is my code, I can't see what happens, it is a simple itemize. As you see, there is an admiration symbol, I don't know what is going on.    I have also this warning, another admiration symbol:  Underfull \hbox (badness 6893) in paragraph at lines 77--78     I am working in article as class document. That is just text, no reference mode.

Often, TeX outputs underfull hbox and vbox warnings when running and in the generated log file. What are these and how can I get rid of them?


Currently, SE accepts HTML comments (e.g. <!-- this is an HTML comment -->) as valid input for posts but they don't appear (since they are comments) this allows some users to get around the 30 character minimum limit for posts. It is even possible to make  Some sites, like , use HTML comments for metadata about the post. Programming sites currently accept them to define the programming language, but as SE switches over to the new CommonMark standard, the language will have to be defined in a code fence.

Let $\langle X,\leq_X\rangle$ be a well-ordered set. I want to show that $X$ with the topology on $X$ relative to $\leq_X$ (the order topology) is not homeomorphic to any initial segment of $X$. And then I need to conclude that any two well-ordered sets $\langle X,\leq_X\rangle$ and $\langle Y,\leq_Y\rangle$ are homeomorphic iff they are isomorphic. I can feel both seem true, but while the first one I don't know how to proof, the second one I can prove, but not as a conclusion of the first. Any ideas on how can I show the second one as a conclusion of the first?  And on how can I prove the first?  Thanks!

I am trying to get a better feel for the topology of ordinals and just received a great answer to this  where the Cantor-Bendixson rank and degree turn out to be a complete homeomorphism invariant of countable compact spaces. Now I am curious about what is going on within homeomorphism classes of ordinals. In particular, I want to know how to characterize countable ordinals $\alpha$ which are minimal among all ordinals homeomorphic to $\alpha$.   Certainly finite ordinals and $\omega$ are easy. Next, if $\alpha\cong \omega+1$, then it seems like we would have to have $\omega+1\leq \alpha<\omega +\omega$ since there can only be one limit point in $\alpha$. Things become a little fuzzier for me with ordinals that have infinitely many limit points.  For instance, suppose $\alpha$ is an ordinal homeomorphic to $\omega^{\omega}$. Is it necessarily true that $\alpha\geq \omega^{\omega}$? Is there a general rule for knowing when an ordinal is the smallest among all ordinals homeomorphic to it?


What happens when you use summability methods on the harmonic series?   I'm quite surprised I haven't been able to find anything on this anywhere, considering that the partial sums of the harmonic series grow at a logarithmic rate, while series whose partial sums grow quadratically are summable.

I recently learned about summation methods when dealing with divergent series to give them a finite value. An example of this isusing Cesàro summation on Grandi's series to get 1/2. However every method I know of is unable to sum the harmonic series. Are there any summation methods that work on the harmonic series or is it provably impossible to sum this series?


What is the difference between "what" and "which" here? Which one do we prefer? Do they mean the same?   What towns do we go through on the way? Which towns do we go through on the way?

Today I found myself in a situation that I asked "Which class" to a friend who said that "we are going to the class". Then one of my friends said that I should ask "what class" and another one said both (what class and which class) are correct. Who is right?  This issue I meet often when I'm talking about things, such as:      What day/ which day?      What floor / which floor?      what teacher / which teacher?      What page / which page?      What place / which place?      What line (bus) / Which line?      What /which sentence (do you agree with)?


I've this project:    I'm beginner so I don't know how can I do that, I want to edit surface to align with the road. Like that:   Am I able to do that without editing every vertex?

I created a terrain in blender. I have on it a base layer. The base layer comprised of two textures. These are a dirt and rock texture mixed together using another texture as a mask. On top of this texture I would like to create a road. I have another mask texture for the road. I am using tiling textures for the base layer, only the masks are non-tiling: they take up the entire UV space. The road also must be tiling somehow, I cannot create a 32k texture.     How can I have a tiling road texture follow a path so that it looks like an actual road? This is an example of a tiling road that correctly follow a path.      textures are packed and set up is clear


Is there a deterministic method for generating all of the Pythagorean triples {a, b, c} for a given hypotenuse c?

can anybody help me out to find all  Pythagorean triplet when Hypotenuse is given? for example 10 is given i need (10,6,8)  ,and not needed such triplet (10,24,26) as 10 is not Hypotenuse for this triplet!


I've got a "light desktop manager" entry in Ubuntu greeter for some strange reason, and I can't get rid of it. As the current OS is Ubuntu 13.10 the way to configure the lightdm greeter is rather strange, and I can't find any solution in greeter configs.  A more annoying thing is that LDM seems to have password very hard to guess so I can't login to this "account".  Can you help me to find what is causing this problem and find the solution?

yesterday I installed Ubuntu 13.10, and since I rebooted my laptop, there is a user account called Light Display Manager as available option on my login screen.  A password is needed for login, but I don't know it, although I tried some.  Because of some answers I modified with sudo power one file as follows (added lightdm):  cat /etc/lightdm/users.conf  # # User accounts configuration # # NOTE: If you have AccountsService installed on your system, then LightDM will # use this instead and these settings will be ignored # # minimum-uid = Minimum UID required to be shown in greeter # hidden-users = Users that are not shown to the user # hidden-shells = Shells that indicate a user cannot login # [UserAccounts] minimum-uid=500 hidden-users=nobody nobody4 noaccess lightdm hidden-shells=/bin/false /usr/sbin/nologin   → But it didn't changed anything!  What is this? Why is this there? How can I remove (if it's unnecessary)? Thanks in advance for an answer!


Let's assume that an object has KE expressed by velocity $v$ and mass $m$.  If work $w$ has been done to this object such that its new speed (same direction) is $s$. There are 2 ways(I know) to calculate $w$. The first is  $ \frac {1}{2} ms^2 -  \frac {1}{2} mv^2$. The other way is (assuming you know distance and acceleration) to use $w=mda $ then $d= \frac {1}{2}at^2 + vt  $   $\frac{2d}{a}= t^2 + \frac {2v}{a}t$  $\frac {2d}{a} +\frac {v^2}{a^2} = t^2 + \frac {2v}{a}t + \frac {v^2}{a^2}$   $\frac {2d}{a} +\frac {v^2}{a^2} = (t+\frac {v}{a})^2$  $\sqrt {\frac {2d}{a} +\frac {v^2}{a^2}} = t + \frac{v}{a}$   $\sqrt {\frac {2da+v^2}{a^2}}= t + \frac{v}{a}$  $\frac {\sqrt {2da+v^2}}{a} = t + \frac{v}{a}$   $\frac {\sqrt {2da+v^2}-v}{a} = t $   and  the speed is a*t which is equal to   ${\sqrt {2da+v^2}-v}$  remember that   $ da = \frac {w}{m}$  $ s = \sqrt {\frac {2w}{m}+v^2}-v$  $ (s+v)^2 = \frac{2w}{m} +v^2$  $ \frac{1}{2}m((s+v)^2-v^2) = w $  simplify and it will be  $ w= \frac {1}{2} ms^2 + \frac{1}{2} mvs$  which isn't quite the other formula. Why is it that my formula doesn't work?

Kinetic energy is simple, right?! from the equation it seems as though if you know the speed and mass you'll know the work. Let's try to prove it. let's assume we know the acceleration and distance for now. $$w=mda$$ So the distance is $$d= 1/2 *at^2$$ Then  $$t = \sqrt{2d/a}$$ So $a*t$, which is the speed, is  $$a*\sqrt{2d/a} = a* \sqrt{2d}/\sqrt{a} = \sqrt{2da} = \sqrt{2w/m}$$ So regardless of the distance or acceleration, if you know the work and the mass, you can calculate the speed which is  $$v=\sqrt{2w/m}$$  What if you know the speed and the mass? You can easily calculate the work. $$v = \sqrt{2w/m}$$ Then  $$v^2 = 2w/m$$  That would mean  $$m*1/2*v^2=W $$ Rearrange it and  $$W= 1/2 *m *v^2$$ would be the equation.  What if you have an initial speed and a new speed and want calculate the amount of work done after an initial speed to get the new speed? You'll just subtract the total work from the initial speeds work.  $$1/2mv^2 - 1/2ms^2$$  where s is  the initial speed and v is the new speed. However if you do it the other way which is  $$d= 1/2at^2 + vt$$ and solve it the answer would be $$1/2ms^2  + 1/2msv$$ Why aren't they equal?


I am using youtube-dl to download ogg audio files with their respective thumbnail, but I am not sure how to embed the thumbnail into the audio file.

I am looking for a software in Linux, that will add the album-art/cover to each of the selected files in batch-mode. The album art is a jpg/png stored in my computer. It will be awesome if it can import from internet.  Currently I have tried both Rhythmbox and Banshee. I have also tried lame and easytag, but seems they do not support batch mode. lame is not adding the properties, but overwriting. (I know lame is the only command line s/w i have used so far).  So, basically I am looking for:  <some magic s/w> --picture=<my chosen picture> Music/Artist/*.mp3   That will add the picture to the metadata of the file, permanently.  Can you suggest me any such software?


Lets say you had 3 wizards, let’s call them A, B and C. If A were to turn B & C into Horcruxes, B were to turn A & C into Horcruxes and C were to turn A & B into Horcruxes. Would killing wizard A destroy the Horcruxes B & C had placed on them or would the Horcruxes remain due to a fragment of A’s soul existing in B & C? Hence making all 3 immortal unless they were killed simultaneously.

What would happen if two wizards made each other a Horcrux? Would they be invincible? How would you kill one of them?


I've read some things in some forums however they usually tell me to add a PPA third, to update and run the command apt to install the cinnamon, but it never works. When running the command returns the terminal saying it is impossible to install due to lack of dependencies, and which I can not download and install individually. I've tried adding the repositories of Linux Mint to Ubuntu, nothing bad.  I wonder how to do that or compile the source code.

I have read that there is a new Gnome-2 like interface called Cinnamon produced by the Linux Mint developers.  Is this available for Ubuntu users - and if so how do I install it?

I have a bit of code where I am looping through all the select boxes on a page and binding a .hover event to them to do a bit of twiddling with their width on mouse on/off.  This happens on page ready and works just fine.  The problem I have is that any select boxes I add via Ajax or DOM after the initial loop won't have the event bound.  I have found this plugin (), but before I add another 5k to my pages with a plugin, I want to see if anyone knows a way to do this, either with jQuery directly or by another option.


I tried using the universal property of tensor products to show that there are mutually inverse maps from $M \times N$ to $M' \times N$, and use this to show that $M \cong M'$, but I didn't get far. I know that this is true if $N = R$, but I couldn't think of a counterexample.

Let $R$ be a commutative unital ring and let $M$ be an $R$-module and let $S$ be a multiplicative subset of $R$.  Today I proved both of the following: $$ S^{-1} R\otimes_R S^{-1}M \cong S^{-1} M$$ and $$ S^{-1} R \otimes M \cong S^{-1} M$$  Now I'm slightly confused.      Either my proofs are wrong or $C \otimes A \cong C \otimes B$ does not imply $A \cong B$. But I can't come up with an example. Can someone give me an example? (Or tell me that my proofs are wrong.)


Why is it that many chat applications, the chat messages you send yourself are often highlighted with color, whereas the messages of the person you are talking to are often grey & seemingly lower in hierarchy?  Isn't the message of the other person more important than your own message, as the content of this message is the reason why you're visiting the chat, not to read your own message again.  Is it because it makes it easier to make the difference between you vs. the rest in group-chat?  Examples:   Whatsapp  Facebook Messenger

I'm wondering why in most mobile chats the message I write has a color background and white text (example: blue background and white text, like facebook) and the response is on grey background with black text.   The bubble with blue background and white text stand out more than the response which is what the user is going to read.  I leave an example of what I'm talking about.


Is there a formal process behind deciding who should be the members of a workshop committee? Or is it more about the organizers contacting people based on their experience within that particular field?

For most conferences in my field it seems to be invitation-only, i.e. somebody has to suggest you/remember you. Are there any conferences that have open calls for applications to the programme committee?


I just gutted working new kitchen scale, and I have never seen a LCD display like this before. There are no pins just a black strip that goes on to the PCB. What brand of LCD is this?

I was ripping off a . The basic functionality is to sense the temperature and display it on an LCD. The LCD turned out to have no interface to the controller. The PCB had 3 LEDs which were focused onto the LCD to provide backlight. Other than that there was no other active component(/connector) that can transmit the data to the LCD.  How is this interface done?  I tried googling and tried searching for connectors/interfaces without electrical contact. But, I got no idea how it works.  Attached


Am I required to know if it is positive or negative? This expression is not really integrable, not within the boundaries of the course at least. I tried comparing it to other integrals but I get zero all the time. I am not sure I have fully understood what I should do. I would really appreciate any help in this.   An attempt using an advice here: $\sin x$ between $0$ to $\pi$ equals $-\sin x$ between $\pi $ to $2\pi$. Since we are looking at $\sin x\over x$, $\int_{\pi}^{2\pi}{\sin x\over x}$ might be negative, but still is smaller than $\int_{0}^{\pi}{\sin x\over x}$, therefore, the sign is +1. Is that sufficient?

I'd love your help with finding the sign of the following integral: $\int_{0}^{2 \pi}\frac{\sin x}{x} dx$,I know that computing it is impossible.  I tried to use integration by parts and maybe to learn about the sign of each part and conclude something but It didn't work for me.  Any suggestions?


I'm trying to sort a list but ignoring a prefix. This question has been answered . It should be straight forward, only it's not working. Here's what I have:  def sort_it(lst, ignore):    return lst.sort(key=lambda x: x.strip(ignore))  myList = ["cheesewhiz", "www.cheese.com", "www.wagons.com", "www.apples.com", "www.bananas.com"]  ignoreThis = "www." sort_it(myList, ignoreThis) print myList   Only the sorting is getting mixed up as the first item doesn't have anything to ignore as part of the string. I'm not sure if adding a check to see if the string contains the ignore string is the Pythonic approach with Lambda.   I expect the results to be in alphabetic order ignoring the www.  www.apples.com www.bananas.com www.cheese.com cheesewhiz www.wagons.com

I've got a list of Python objects that I'd like to sort by an attribute of the objects themselves.  The list looks like:  >>> ut [<Tag: 128>, <Tag: 2008>, <Tag: <>, <Tag: actionscript>, <Tag: addresses>,  <Tag: aes>, <Tag: ajax> ...]   Each object has a count:  >>> ut[1].count 1L   I need to sort the list by number of counts descending.  I've seen several methods for this, but I'm looking for best practice in Python.


I am remodeling a bathroom and I am wondering whether or not I am to cut the backerboard so that it runs behind the tub or just up to the edge of the tub. Whichever is the answer I'd appreciate a description on why.  Thanks.

I'm installing a new bath tub and shower.  I've removed the old tile down to the studs.  Should the backer board be in front of or behind the tub flange?  I put it on the rear tub wall from floor to ceiling at first, but I can easily remove it if it should go OVER the tub flange.


I have been thinking about Mary.   vs     I have been thinking of Mary.   Is there any slight difference? I think the above two sentences are almost the same.  Let's say that the speaker broke up with Mary two years ago, and that since then the speaker has been missing her. In this situation, which of the two sentences highlighted above better expresses the speaker's feelings?

Is there a difference between "think of something" and "think about something"? I've also met "have heard of/about something".


I am reporting what I would call a bug in the Close Votes quality check test   By 'Close Votes', I mean the Close Votes page of the Review pages at . By 'quality check test', I mean the Close Votes that have no effect on any question and are simply there to check if a user would select the correct option or not.  I was just reviewing some Close Votes earlier today (which if you ask me, more people need to do) and I came across a question that seemed fine. I was curious as to what reason(s) had been given for the previous Close Vote(s), so I clicked on the Close button to see which option(s) had been selected on the 'Why should this question be closed' popup window.  Instead of seeing which reasons the previous voter(s) had given as usual on the popup window, I got a message telling me that it was a test and I had chosen incorrectly. Now I can take an incorrect decision on my record, because there won't be many others. However, it just seems to me that this message appears too early.  My argument is simple. When we actually vote to close a question, we click on the 'Vote to Close' button in the 'Why should this question be closed' popup window, not on the 'Close' button in the Close Votes page. Furthermore, we can't even click on the 'Vote to Close' button until we have first selected a reason for the Close Vote. So it seems as though reviewers are being judged two clicks too early.     Can the Close Votes quality test occur when we click on the 'Vote to Close' button in the 'Why should this question be closed' popup window and not on the 'Close' button in the Close Votes page?

Having just  from any of the queues, it was reviewing close votes; however, this audit was flawed in that I didn't even cast a close vote.  Often I press the Close button to preview greater detail and sentiment of the closure, spawning the Why should this question be closed dialog box:    Especially for duplicates, where functionality is solely dependent on spawning this dialog.  From Closing > Duplicate, I can search or view selected duplicates:    Although, I realize general closure reasons are summarized on the page:    This question had 6-upvotes, but seemed very localized referencing subjective query is "taking too long" and even had a sqlfiddle link.  Maybe overly broad regarding performance tuning, the OP was posting like a forum with two answer posts to his own question  and  with one of those answers asking follow-up questions.    Wanting to gauge community response, current closure totals struck my curiosity.  So, I pressed the Close button and boom - oh, the humanity!  I failed, and didn't even cast a close vote.    Votes are not cast until a reason for closure is selected and Vote to Close is pressed.  Taking any review very seriously on this site, it only seems fair that my review quality is tested through actionable steps instead of clicking for more detailed information, leveraging the functional design of the close vote user interface.  Sure, it's complex to seed fake vote totals, and then there's controversy of mindless voting in the majority or people who simply cherry pick 4-vote questions.  Still though, it seems unfair I should hesitate to review further information of vote totals and duplicates before skipping due to the implementation of this audit.


Iam trying to use this theorem for the problem below:     a statistic is sufficient for $\mathcal{P} = \{P_{\theta}: \theta \in \Theta \}$ iff there exist nonnegative functions $g(\cdot; \theta)$ and $h$ such that the probability  functions $p(\cdot ; \theta)$ satisfy:   \begin{equation}p(\boldsymbol{x};\theta) = g(T(\boldsymbol{x});\theta )h(\boldsymbol{x}) \end{equation}  suppose $(x_1,...,x_n)$ represent independent  realisations of a random variable $X$, uniformly distributed over the interval $(\theta-1,\theta+1)$. The 'book' claims that a sufficient statistic for $\theta$ is $T(x) = (x_{(1)},x_{(n)}-x_{(1)})$   this is what i tried:  $f(\boldsymbol{x};\theta) = \prod\limits_{i=1}^{n} \dfrac{1}{(\theta+1)-(\theta-1)}\mathbb{1}_{(\theta-1,\infty)}(x_{(1)})\mathbb{1}_{(-\infty,\theta +1)}(x_{(n)}) =\dfrac{1}{2^n} \cdot\prod\limits_{i=1}^{n}\mathbb{1}_{(\theta-1,\infty)}(x_{(1)})\mathbb{1}_{(-\infty,\theta +1)}(x_{(n)}) $  But i get that the sufficient statistic has to be $T(x) = (x_{(1)},x_{(n)})$, maybe another sufficent statistic is $T^*(x) = (x_{(1)},x_{(n)}-x_{(1)})$ but can someone tell me how?

Let $\mathbf{X}= (x_1, x_2, \dots x_n)$ be a random sample from the uniform distribution on $(a,b)$, where $a < b$.   Let $Y_1$ and $Y_n$ be the largest and smallest order statistics.  Show that the statistic $(Y_1, Y_n)$ is a jointly complete sufficient statistic for the parameter $\theta  = (a, b)$.     It is no problem for me to show sufficiency using factorization.   Question: How do I show completeness? Preferably I would like a hint.    Attempt: I can show $\mathbb E[g(T(x))] = 0$ implies $g(T(x)) = 0$ for the one parameter uniform distribution, but I am getting stuck on the two parameter uniform distribution.   I tried playing around with $\mathbb E[g(Y_1, Y_n)]$ and using the joint distribution of $Y_1$ and $Y_n$, but I am not sure if I am going in the correct direction, as the calculus is tripping me up.


When i burn the image to a usb, it is not visible to boot from in the boot devices menu.  Any ideas?  ~ybotmallah

How do I make an Bootable Ubuntu USB containing the the latest version of Ubuntu?  For completeness, how would I be able to do this on Ubuntu, Windows, OS X or another Linux distro?


I thought the answer was yes. Threads on this site in indicate the answer is yes....but then I frequently see constructions like this on news sites from writers I'd assume would be implementing language's best practices. Here is an example I came across while reading in article in CNN this morning:  "The country is notoriously difficult to get information on and its sanctions-hit economy is said to operate on a number of different levels, including a black market, with the government not even releasing official trade statistics."  I've seen this on many, many occasions. Either my understanding of independent clauses isn't correct or there's some rule I'm not aware of. While browsing for an answer in existing threads, I saw the concept of connecting clauses brought up a few times. Some respondents said that you don't need a comma before 'and' if the next complete idea is hinged on the same verb as the preceding one? Or something like that. I didn't entirely understand but wonder if this is an example of that.  Thanks you for your time.

My friend and I had an argument about whether this sentence required a comma:     I understand where you're coming from but I disagree.    My friend insisted that there should be a comma before "but":     I understand where you're coming from, but I disagree.   From my point of view, while grammatically correct, the addition of a comma is not necessary.   When I looked online for sources to answer our disagreement, I found no authoritative sources and many sources were contradicting one another. Some argued, like I believe, that it's not necessary because the addition of comma is of no value in that context (i.e. the addition of comma doesn't make the sentence easier to read) but others said it was mandatory.   So, which is it? Is a comma necessary before a conjunction?

Request.Form["test[0].myitem"] not work also

I have a working login form in an asp.net application.  Standard stuff with a username and password text box and a button to process the login.  Works fine.  I have a new requirement to allow the user to input the username and password from a separate plain html page that is not a part of my asp.net application.  I plan on achieving this using standard html - form, input, submit button etc.  The form action will be the URL of my asp.net login page and its method will be POST.    What I want to do in the C# code behind page of the asp.net login form, presumably in the Page_Load event, is to check if the request for the page contains a username and password value being passed in.  If it does then I need to read those values and process the login as if someone had clicked the login button on the asp.net page.  If not then I will display the login form as usual.    How do I check for the existence of, and read, the username and password values in the request for my page.

        I don't understand why the other links are not lining vertically with the image, I tried setting the image padding and margin to 0 but obv it didn't work and I have no idea of what the problem is

I have a div with two images and an h1. All of them need to be vertically aligned within the div, next to each other. One of the images needs to be absolute positioned within the div. What is the CSS needed for this to work on all common browsers?

I'd like to increase the maximum upload size from 2MB to 5MB on my website (I'm using WAMP). My first attempt to do this was to set Content types > MY CONTENT TYPE > Manage fields > MY IMAGE FIELD > Maximum upload size to 5 MB, but that didn't work. Next, (after reading  and ) I added  ini_set('post_max_size', '5M'); ini_set('upload_max_filesize', '5M');   to my sites/default/settings.php file, but that didn't solve the problem either.  What am I doing wrong? Why didn't my first approach work?

I have set file filed with 25MB Maximum upload size. But when i upload more then 25mb file it is uploading. How to stop this.Can we create any custom module for file size.


i am trying to install Ubuntu alongside Windows8 but while trying to do so it was showing as"This computer currently has no detected operating system" can i know whats wrong with this?? please help me in clearing out this problem. thanks in advance

I am new to Ubuntu (AMD64) and am attempting to install it on my laptop which already has Windows 7 Home Premium x64.   I currently have two partitions on my HDD and I was planning on repartitioning my secondary partition to make room for a third to use for Ubuntu. However when I attempt to install I get the following message:  "This computer currently has no detected operating systems"  Choosing "something else" takes me to the partitions. However, it only detects a single unpartitioned space (my entire HDD) even though I actually have 2 partitions taking up plenty of space.  By no means can I detect my two partitions using any method. Is it possible the 32 bit installation might be more successful? (I doubt it but I had to ask)      Edit: 250gb. I have two partitions for windows (one main and another for storage) as well as an empty third partition with 20gb that I intend to use for Ubuntu. None are detected, however.  FINAL EDIT: I finally fixed the problem. when I ran  sudo fdisk -l   it gave me several partitions in the list, so I tried running fixparts on individual partitions, which ended up being inconclusive (and confusing)  Then I decided to try to run fixparts over the entire unpartitioned space  sudo fixparts /dev/sda   AS OPPOSED TO  sudo fixparts /dev/sda1  sudo fixparts /dev/sda2   (individual partitions) and so on.  After simply running the command on the entire hdd, it quickly finished and alas it was fixed! Going back to the installation, it detected my Windows 7 installation, and also detected all existing partitions in the custom install mode. Furthermore, my data on my other partitions was left completely unscathed. It fixed my problem at no cost.


If I see a body at temperature $T$, will I see the same temperature in another frame under a Lorentz boost. And will the internal energy of a body also remain invariant under a Lorentz boost or not..

If an observer starts moving at relativistic speeds will he observe the temperature of objects to change as compared to their rest temperatures? Suppose the rest temperature measured is $T$ and the observer starts moving with speed $v$. What will be the new temperature observed by him?


From my own research, I have seen people say that the first conditional cannot be mixed with the second, or the zero with the second. I have some example sentences, however, which I took from an essay about the pros and cons of having a small family. This was written by a native English speaker:   If a parent wants their children to have a university education, tuition fees would have to be paid for each child in order to be fair. If a person has a larger family, by contrast, then more members would be able to work and generate more money.   Are these sentences grammatically correct? What is the meaning of using the present tense in the first clause, and would in the second?

A friend and I are having a debate about a most perplexing piece of English grammar. Now, I am a native English speaker, and he is Polish - this means that he is rather clued up on the grammatical side of things, whereas I know diddly squat, but know what feels right.   We were discussing Poland's next world cup match tomorrow, when Poland plays against Colombia, and I wrote to him after he me sent a heartwarming video (jokingly, of course), that 'I think threats of stoning if they don't succeed would be more effective.'  He replied that such a sentance should be in the second conditional tense, and thus go like 'I think threats of stoning if they didn't succeed would be more effective.'  So after a lively debate as to whether this is the second, first, or not even a conditional, I have no choice but to turn to the denizens of the interweb, to ask them to apply their grammatical expertise to resolve this vital question.  Thanks in advance, Conor


I've accidentally formatted and installed ubuntu on my ntfs partition (d drive in Windows, I wanted to install on c drive instead)which had many important data.  Now I still have my c drive, but lost the d drive. Is there anyway I can recover those files?

I have a Toshiba satellite A-200 laptop with a Vista OS on it with 4 NTFS partitions  (C:) Vista  (D:) Entertainment  (E:) Work  (F:) Sources   and I wanted to start using Ubuntu instead. So I tried it first from the live CD and everything was OK and all the partitions were shown and working and so I decided to install Ubuntu to replace Vista on the (C:) drive. After I did that I can no longer find my folders and files on the (D:), (E:), (F:) partitions and the only file system that is shown is one 198 GB although my HDD is 320 GB.  I can't access the lost data on the remaining 120 GB which I hope is still there and not totally lost  I am now working from the live CD but I am unable to install testdisk. Can I recover the Vista partitions by the product recovery CD to get my laptop back to the factory settings? Can I recover the NTFS partitions using a recovery program for Windows or will that make the problem worse?   I need these data badly as I don't have a backup for them.


There seems to be some sort of a network issue that is preventing Windows Update from downloading updates. The progress bar keeps on going forever.  I have done just about everything on the PC to make it work to no avail. This includes disabling firewalls and anti-virus software. According to this post which I believe sums up my situation there might be an issue with my Internet connection:    I am connected through a wireless Cisco router. Unfortunately I don't have access to another network. Neither do I have a network cable. But my Internet is working; I can download and upload files no problem.  The OS is not new but the user I'm logged in as is a new admin user.  How can I know what's wrong with my Internet connection, or more precisely what's blocking Windows Update?  P.S. One of the ideas I tried was upgrading the OS to Windows 10, but even the Windows 10 Installer gets stuck at the "Getting Updates" screen.  P.S. I am not able to connect my computers at home even though they are all in the same workgroup. The PC shows up as a shared computer on a Mac but is not connectable. All computers are connected wirelessly through the aforementioned router.

I installed Windows 7 fresh and installed SP1. Now, when I try to check manually for Windows Updates it just hangs on the Checking for updates screen.    I tried running the tools in , but this did not fix the issue either:  No matter what I do it just hangs on the "Checking for updates..." screen and goes no further.


I have a 500mm f/8 mirror lens, which is super cheap and light, but which offers terrible resolving power (and a concomitant difficulty in nailing its manual focus).  This 50% crop is pretty much as sharp as it can get:    But one feature of the body I'm using is the ability to capture 12fps.  I've seen focus stacking done (usually with some difficulty), and I've also seen software (and now even some cameras) that produce "super-resolution" by stacking rapid exposures of the same scene.  I suspect that, at least in theory, one should be able to produce higher resolving power or (equivalently?) lower Gaussian blurring resulting from an inferior optical system like this by incorporating the information in multiple samples of the same scene.  Is that correct in theory?  In practice are there any methods or packages that can produce a sharper image from multiple exposures of nearly the same scene?  (To clarify: I imagine that one must stipulate that some minimal change in the scene exist between each image in the stack.  But I also imagine that for "de-blurring" this would be on the order of the radial standard deviation that one is attempting decrease.  E.g., for distant scenes and/or long focal lengths such small perturbations could conceivably be produced by things like atmospheric disturbance or shutter shake.)

I've been experimenting with photogrammetry for a while, and the main hurdle I keep tripping over is the clarity (lack thereof) of my images.  Rather than spend a lot of money on a better camera, I'm wondering if there are ways to overcome the inherent imprecisions. One idea I had is to snap the exact same photo several times (from a tripod) and somehow combine those images to refine the accuracy. I'm familiar with focus stacking, and that's not what I'm thinking of (though it might still be helpful in ways I haven't thought of). I'm also not necessarily talking about stitching low resolution images into a higher resolution panorama. In fact, for photogrammetry, the image lens metrics have to be calculable and consistent.  Is there an existing technique for doing something like this, i.e. refining one image with another, or combining many images to create a finer result?

I have read these questions and their answers:         None of those answered what I am asking.  Dark matter:   does not interact with EM waves, so it is not visible directly creates gravitational effects   Black Hole:   does not let EM waves escape, so it is not directly observable creates gravitational effects   Based on these facts, there seems to be a similarity between dark matter and black holes.   Could it be, that the regions of space (intra-galaxy clusters) where we found gravitational effects that cannot be explained with normal matter, so where we suspect dark matter to exist, that that region of space in between galaxy clusters is just a region that is full of black holes that would have the same gravitational effects and would not be visible directly?

Since 90 % of matter is what we cannot see, why can't it be black-holes from early on? Is is possible to figure out that there are no black holes in the line of sight of various stars/galaxies we observe?

Normally when a player falls they take 1d6 bludgeoning damage when they hit the ground per 10 foot they fall. Are there any RAW for a player hitting water? At what height does hitting water in DnD become dangerous. In reality if you hit water from high enough it is the equivalent of hitting concrete and a I imagine from even a safe hight a player that dives badly may hurt themselves?

Just realized that in DMing 5e I have unconsciously used a falling-in-water rule-of-thumb that I inherited from somewhere (maybe 2e or AD&D or maybe even Pathfinder). The ruling I've been using is as follows:   No damage for 20 feet of falling. Half-damage next 20 feet. Normal damage beyond that.   Realizing there should be a Strength (Athletics) for "swimming" (in context, "diving") to take even less damage with a proper dive in sufficiently deep water, I started to look for specifics on that. Am I just missing it somewhere? (Also didn't find it searching this stack.)  Are there clear 5e rules for both jumping and diving in water of various depths?

Looking for a succinct word that describes something that has been measured simply because "that is the way things have been done". Something exists more for historical reasons than for practical ones.  Criteria for best word:   noun is preferred, ideally a noun that can act like an adjective (e.g. priority, necessity) should have a neutral connotation (or at the very least, not too negative) compound phrases considered but single words are preferred formal or informal   some words that almost fit:   vestigial  artefact  leftover  historic  remainder residual (best of the bunch)   Example sentence:  We have many measurements of elbow diameter not because it is particularly useful, but because the measurement is a "word"; all British ship logs from 1750 to 1899 were required to take such measurements.

I'm looking for a word or a phrase (preferably a noun phrase) that describes   something current,  which should not be still present, because it is kind of outdated, but is still around us because of historical reasons.   Naturally, what should or should not be present is subjective, and by using this word one actually expresses an opinion on the matter. Please note, that it doesn't have to have negative connotation, e.g. a character might observe that the world should have moved already, but he or she is glad that it didn't. I'm most interested in neutral or negative flavors, but I would appreciate other suggestions as well.  In a sense it is an antonym (or dual) for 'anachronism', because instead of author-inserted out-of-time thing we have author-wishes-to-be-removed current thing.  What word or a phrase would best describe such a thing?


I've decided that it's time to get my own domain where I can nonprofessionally communicate on the web. More or less, I would like to set up a blog on a similar level as Coding Horror, and would probably use something easy like Wordpress.  I've set up many a site with generic, cheap web hosts and been disappointed. I am willing to spend a little money but am still very budget-conscious about the features I buy into.  The option that I've most closely been looking at is VPS from a2hosting, for example. They offer "128 MB Dedicated RAM (256 MB Burstable), 10 GB Disk Space, and 100 GB Monthly Data Transfer", with SSH access, for about . Being a UNIX-capable person, I believe that it's important to have root access to some (virtual) server that runs your site. Also, I think that doing this is wise because while all sorts of vanilla hosting services have claims of unlimited traffic, they don't guarantee that a certain amount of RAM will be allocated to your site, or that you will have your own php process. Since it'll be a blog, I don't expect to push many GBs. But in case I did have popular content, I don't want to be embarrassed by the server going down because of low processor allocation.  But I'm second guessing myself, so my concerns are as follows:   Certainly a vanilla web host might set me up with Wordpress and "unlimited" traffic  for about half that price. Is it really worth having SSH/root access, or are the 5-minute Wordpress setups okay? (in other words, are my trust issues unwarranted?) Am I looking at a good web host provider? Will they scale if I grow popular? Is the "dedicated" RAM (only 128mb, but it's something) a real point of value relative to vanilla web hosting? I would have to sign up for an extended contract to get a good rate. Do you think that 10gb storage/100gb traffic will be a lot smaller than it is now in three years?   Remember that I really don't have huge requirements, just want a good-looking site. Thanks.

My friend and I are hoping to meet for lunch. We will each arrive at our favorite restaurant at a random time between noon and 1 p.m., stay for 15 minutes, then leave. What is the probability that we will meet each other while at the restaurant? (For example, if I show up at 12:10 and my friend shows up at 12:15, then we’ll meet; on the other hand, if I show up at 12:50 and my friend shows up at 12:20, then we’ll miss each other.)

Two friends who have unpredictable lunch hours agree to meet for lunch at their favorite restaurant whenever possible. Neither wishes to eat alone and each dislikes waiting for the other, so they agree that each will arrive at a random time between noon and 1 pm, and each will wait for the other for 15 minutes or until 1:00. What is the probability that the friends will meet for lunch on a given day?


Let $f_n(x)$ be real functions. Given that the derivatives exist, and that the sums converge, is the following true? If not, what is a counterexample, and when is it true?  $$\frac{d}{dx}\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} f_n(x)=\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{d}{dx}f_n(x)$$

Can the order of a differentiation and summation be interchanged, and if so, what is the basis of the justification for this? E.g. is $\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}x}\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}f_n(x)$ equal to $\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}x}f_n(x)$ and how can it be proven? My intuition for this is that it should be the case, since in the limit, the summation becomes an integral and this can be interchanged with the differentiation operator, but I don't know how to justify this? Would it suffice to say that $\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}x}f_1(x)+\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}x}f_2(x) = \frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}x}(f_1(x)+f_2(x)$ because it is a linear operator and then somehow extend this to an infinite sum? Thanks in advance!


There's a book I read in the late '90s that I'm trying to remember. Definitely in it The scene I remember very vividly is one of the aliens telling the point of view character (a kid, I think) that it would be ruder to call it "he" or "she" than to call it "it". Probably in it I think the aliens are very small and shrink the POV character to their size to be able to be on their tiny spaceship, but honestly I'm not certain that's the same book. I think the shrinking may be accidental? And maybe the aliens can't un-shrink him? Maybe in it? At the same time I read that book I also read a book that involved someone being taught to use a rocket belt. I don't know if that was the same book though.

It was a book I read when I was a kid, so I am assuming it was a book aimed at kids/young adults. A whole crew of aliens of different species meet an Earth kid. He befriends them. One of the aliens comes from a planet with dozens/hundreds of different sexes/genders. At one point, the Earth kid is talking about a swamp:  Alien: "I live in/near a swamp on my home planet" Kid: "Oh, do you come from a swamp planet?"  The alien points out that just because there is a swamp on his planet doesn't make it a swamp planet, there are dozens of biomes on his planet, just like Earth. Earth isn't just a swamp planet.


Could someone help me know what is wrong with my laptop? I failed to update or upgrade with my terminal or update manager. The system in terminal returns an error of unable to fetch some archives after trying to upgrade.

PPA seems to be constantly offline. Whenever I use sudo apt-get update, this error is shown:  W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/ 404  Not Found   How do I fix these errors?


I'm installing a package from Digital Ocean that will monitor the server, and I'm told to run systemctl daemon-reload on a live server. On this server there is a running web server for a production site. Can I safely do this? I understand this restarts systemd on the machine.  I think I was told to do this on another server as well, and might need to do it on more. This is the message: Warning: do-agent.service changed on disk. Run 'systemctl daemon-reload' to reload units.

Let's say I write a mine.service file. Then I use systemctl enable mine.service.  If I later decide to edit mine.service, do I have to tell systemd that mine.service was changed? If so, how do I do that?


Dear pokemon trainers,  I am level 15 in Pokemon-Go. I caught yesterday a Poliwhirl with CP 471. I have a Poliwag with CP 281 as well, which when evolved becomes a Poliwhirl. Should I power up my poliwhirl or evolve my Poliwag? This is really confusing.  Thank you!!

What I mean is how does the game increase the CP of an evolving pokemon?  For instance I have a pidgey (278CP) when I evolved it became a pidgeotto (489CP), but when I leveled up my weedle (140CP) it became kakuna (150CP).  With some pokemon it seems to be doubled, others tripled, and some not at all


I realise this is basic but I have read two pages of google answers and am still unclear 'How to put executable in /usr/local/bin?'  I have downloaded a package and made the executable called profit. What is the step by step command line to make profit executable from the terminal without having to add the path/to/profit every time?

I'd like to know if there is a way to run  program/shell script without typing full path:  /opt/idea/bin/idea.sh

I'd like to modify the names used to typeset some of my document elements. For example, the caption of figure floats should change from "Figure" to "Fig.", and my \tableofcontents sectioning heading shouldn't read "Contents", but "Table of Contents". How can I do that?  \documentclass{article} % \usepackage[english]{babel} \begin{document} \tableofcontents \section{foo} \begin{figure}[h] \centering \rule{1cm}{1cm}% placeholder for graphic \caption{A figure} \end{figure} \end{document}

I have a bunch of bib entries of the same author which are labeled by the full date. The problem is that some of them have the same date and so need an extrayear label. But extrayear works by year not by full date. So it looks as if I can only either label all entries or none.

In order to wrap an integration test around an old legacy process that builds detailed files based on certain inputs, I have the need to dynamically load a DLL by providing the full path to the file.  This test will run on many different developers' machines which do not always share the same physical application directory, but will also run on many servers as it makes its way through a Continuous Integration process, and sometimes multiple instances of the application will be running on the same physical machine. The point is, there's no standard path that can be relied upon to hardcode into this test. What I really need is some mechanism that can tell me the physical path that the test is executing under at the time that it is executing, and then I can use a relative path from there to always reliably find the DLL in the application's installation.  Since this is in a test, I cannot rely on something like HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath() or Request.ApplicationPath, since Current will be null when the test runs.  Short of writing a hack to deploy the DLL I need to load dynamically to a special folder on the root of any drive that might build and run the application, does anyone know a good .NET strategy to find the physical path of the test at runtime?  I'm using NUnit in a C# Web application, along with Approval Test style assertion, so a simple test that would need to do this would look like this:  [Test] public void ShouldGenerateFileConsistently() {     string pathToDll = FindRelativePathToDllBasedOnPhysicalPath(); // <-- what I need to figure out      string generatedFileContents = OutputManager.GenerateReportUsingDynamicDll(pathToDll);      Approvals.Verify(generatedFileContents); }

Is there a way to get the path for the assembly in which the current code resides?  I do not want the path of the calling assembly, just the one containing the code.   Basically my unit test needs to read some xml test files which are located relative to the  dll.  I want the path to always resolve correctly regardless of whether the testing dll is run from TestDriven.NET, the MbUnit GUI or something else.  Edit: People seem to be misunderstanding what I'm asking.  My test library is located in say      C:\projects\myapplication\daotests\bin\Debug\daotests.dll   and I would like to get this path:     C:\projects\myapplication\daotests\bin\Debug\   The three suggestions so far fail me when I run from the MbUnit Gui:   Environment.CurrentDirectory gives c:\Program Files\MbUnit System.Reflection.Assembly.GetAssembly(typeof(DaoTests)).Location gives C:\Documents and Settings\george\Local Settings\Temp\ ....\DaoTests.dll System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location gives the same as the previous.
