Things you want to avoid are `KeyListener`, especially because you have other focusable components in the view, namely buttons, which will steal keyboard focus and render the `KeyListener` useless. This is why, in almost all cases, you want to avoid `KeyListener`. A better and more reliable solution would be to use the [Key Bindings API](https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/misc/keybinding.html), which overcomes this focus related issue, but it also encourages the use of reusable components of work through the [`Action`s API](https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/misc/action.html) Something like... ``` import java.awt.EventQueue;

In the `fflush(""cat"")` case, awk quickly writes all three values while cat is still loading. When cat finishes loading, it reads all three values in sequence and writes them out at the same time. In the case of `close(""cat"")`, awk waits for the process to exit, at which point cat is guaranteed to have read the value, written it, and exited. I increased the numbers in the `fflush` case from 3 to 1000, and now `awk` reaches 120 before cat catches up, and from there on it works basically as you expect. It prints ""1,2,..,120,1,2,...,120,121,121,122,122,123,123,..."". Note that you're not guaranteed to see numbers in perfect pairs. awk blocks until the number has been written to the pipe, but it doesn't wait for cat to do anything with it.","Not really something I have much experience of but the gawk manual tells us: > > fflush([filename]) > Flush any buffered output associated with filename, > which is either a file opened for writing or a shell command for > redirecting output **to a pipe** or coprocess. > > > Note that ""cat"" as used above is in none of the contexts the gawk manual says are affected by fflush().

The compiler has numerous crash-causing bugs, such as the one you discovered. 2. The C++ Standard Library was not updated with the compiler, leaving you without decent `` and `` (this includes the omission of the braced init list constructors for *all* standard containers) Also: the linked example is very ugly code. If you want to use this feature, use a compiler like GCC or Clang that supports this syntax. They are both available for Windows. Hacking around a half-implemented language feature by writing extra code is just stupid." 19995,"I don't recall ever having the problem with the iron before, but it's been a few years since I used it, as I'm just getting back into some projects since my Electronics degree. I bought some solder for a new project (I need a lot) and it's lead-free: ``` 95% Tin 4% Silver 1% Copper ``` Now, I'm not sure how tolerant the values are for melting point but I can say that it does appear to act Eutectic, like the known combination 95.5/4/0.5 ([Indalloy 246](http://www.matweb.com/search/DataSheet.aspx?MatGUID=19662ece2a4a4bb2bbe7aa522f916185)) which has a melting point of 217 degrees Celcius. According to the manufacturer of my Iron (Antex) it has a tip temperature of 370 celcius. I sanded down the tip yesterday with a fine grain metal sanding paper to see if the tip just needed cleaning, however it's now gone ""black"" instead of the shiny silver it was when I first sanded it. The real question I wonder is where the problem lies, is it that my tip is dead, is my iron too low power or is it just that my iron is dead. I ask because I need to know whether to replace the iron, the tip or a higher power iron. My preference is to stick with the Antex irons, and I prefer ""precision"" bits like the on in my current iron, so, what are the recommendations?",2011/09/25,"['https://electronics.stackexchange.com/questions/19995', 'https://electronics.stackexchange.com', 'https://electronics.stackexchange.com/users/5702/']","Your tip is dead since you have now sanded off the special coating. It will of course still get hot, but will oxidize rapidly so that solder won't wick onto it. This will make it very difficult to solder with. You say the tip is supposed to be 370C (700F), but is that temperature controlled or just some open loop guess? 12W sounds very low for a temperature controlled soldering station, and also not enough to heat much beyond a little solder and a wire or two at the same time. For example, my Weller WES51 temperature controller soldering station has a 50W iron. Of course most of the time it's not run at 50W, but that's what the control algorithm can cause it to put out when it senses low tip temperature. Since you just destroyed your tip (and the iron if it has a fixed tip), maybe it's time to get a real one that has temperature control.","A 12w iron is way under-powered for leadfree.

First, we join the center of the semicircle with that of the circle, and draw a perpendicular from the center of the circle to the tangent points (semicircle and the vertex of the equilateral triangle). Notice that the two triangles that are formed are congruent via the SSS property, therefore we can conclude that the line connecting two centers is an angle sector. This proves that the two triangles are in fact ""$30-60-90$"" triangle. 2.) Now, using the fact proven above, we can say that the base of those triangles (i.e. the side opposite to the $30^\circ$ angle) is $\frac{r}{\sqrt3}$. Finally, we can finish off the problem: $$(1-r)^2=r^2+(\frac{r}{\sqrt3})^2$$ $$1-2r+r^2=r^2+\frac{r^2}{3}$$ $$r^2+6r-3=0$$ Since this isn't factorable, we can use the quadratic formula: $$r=\frac{-6±\sqrt{48}}{2}$$ Since $\frac{-6-\sqrt{48}}{2}$ would be negative, we must reject that.

It's not about learning the language, it's the capability of the spell/energy powering the skeleton(s). Undeath is not in itself an impediment to speech (see: Liches).

A skeleton is already magically animated, so if you wanted a **specific skeleton** to have the ability to speak, there are several creative ways you could explain the phenomenon. * A magic item equipped by its creator, or even left over from its previous life. (An enchanted ring or amulet?) * A slightly more powerful skeleton who gained the ability to speak over time via wild magic or the like. * A skeleton created with extra riders on the creation spell by its creator.

Therefore, when you ask, ""Should ***we*** eat food sacrificed to idols?"" you have jumped nearly 2,000 years to this day and age, I presume. I take it that you are asking Christians in the Year of our Lord 2023 whether to eat food sacrificed to idols, or not. **Second**, where I live, I have no awareness of any food being presented before idols prior to being made available to anyone to buy. If you know of such practices, it would be helpful to either state a case (as an example of the pertinence of this question today) or to give a list of modern-day countries where this happens. **Third,** ***the simple answer to your question*** (irrespective of any time from the middle of the first century A.D. until today) ***is ""No, Christians should not.""*** The matter is known to God, even if no other human knows you have eaten food that had been offered before an idol. ***Once you know, you are culpable, and God knows.*** Christians are to do everything (including their eating and drinking) for the glory of God. But, as the passage shows, there's no need to first hold an inquisition about it, asking questions, ferreting out individuals who might be suspected of the pagan practice and checking if a particular piece of food had been handled by them. That section of scripture, however, has more to say on the matter than just that bit about food presented before an idol. It speaks of not eating meat that has not first been bled. But you do not ask about that, so I will end my answer here.","The rationale for Paul's advice comes from the principle in v21; ""You cannot partake of the table of the Lord and [also] of the table of demons"". This follows on from vv 18-20. Israel were ""partners in the altar"" (v18, RSV) when they sacrificed, in that God and the worshippers both had their own shares in most of the sacrificed animals. Conversely, those who shared in the communal sacrificial meals of other gods were ""partners with demons"" (v20). It was necessary to choose. The same choice remains for Christians in that we now share in the ""Lord's Supper"", at the table over which the Lord presides. We must choose one or the other. The point is that we must avoid sharing in the worship of other gods, by participating in the their communal meals, and we must also avoid giving other people the impression that we are particpating indirectly. If nobody else is involved, it seems to me that the deciding factor is what you yourself think you are doing if you get hold of meat which was previously ""dedicated"" to some other god. If you think you are participating in the original sacrificial meal, you are in the position of ch8 v7; ""Some... eat food as really offered to an idol; and their conscience, being weak, is defiled."" But if you are giving thanks to God for your food (ch10 v30) and are confident that its previous history doesn't affect its value in the sight of God, then you are in the position of ""liberty"" in ch8 v8; ""Food will not commend us to God"". The dictum of ch10 v25, ""Eat whatever is sold"", can still apply even if we have asked the question anyway. In other words, it makes no difference one way or the other, unless we think it makes a difference. See the principle that runs through Galatians; we are living in liberty, not under law." 81217,"If you don't know that it has been sacrificed to idols, then it is okay, 1 Corinthians 10: > > 25Eat whatever is sold in the meat market **without raising any question** on the ground of conscience. > > > Don't ask.

The underlying idea here is whether one is committing idolatry, which is the belief that anything, other than God or his agents, has any supernatural power or attribute. Believing that a rabbit's foot provides good luck is a form of idolatry, but so is believing that food that has been sacrificed to an idol is somehow different from food that hasn't. Neither the rabbit's foot nor the food have any supernatural attributes. To avoid something because it is reputed to have a non-existent attribute is equivalent to admitting that it *does* have that attribute. For you, it shouldn't matter at all whether the food was sacrificed, any more than you should care what the phase of the Moon is today, or what constellation was in the sky at your birth. But, if someone gives you something and explicitly or implicitly tells you it has supernatural attributes, *then* you should refuse it. Not because it makes any difference to you, but because it makes a difference to the other person.

What message does it send if you refuse the coffee?","The rationale for Paul's advice comes from the principle in v21; ""You cannot partake of the table of the Lord and [also] of the table of demons"". This follows on from vv 18-20. Israel were ""partners in the altar"" (v18, RSV) when they sacrificed, in that God and the worshippers both had their own shares in most of the sacrificed animals. Conversely, those who shared in the communal sacrificial meals of other gods were ""partners with demons"" (v20). It was necessary to choose. The same choice remains for Christians in that we now share in the ""Lord's Supper"", at the table over which the Lord presides. We must choose one or the other. The point is that we must avoid sharing in the worship of other gods, by participating in the their communal meals, and we must also avoid giving other people the impression that we are particpating indirectly. If nobody else is involved, it seems to me that the deciding factor is what you yourself think you are doing if you get hold of meat which was previously ""dedicated"" to some other god. If you think you are participating in the original sacrificial meal, you are in the position of ch8 v7; ""Some... eat food as really offered to an idol; and their conscience, being weak, is defiled."" But if you are giving thanks to God for your food (ch10 v30) and are confident that its previous history doesn't affect its value in the sight of God, then you are in the position of ""liberty"" in ch8 v8; ""Food will not commend us to God"". The dictum of ch10 v25, ""Eat whatever is sold"", can still apply even if we have asked the question anyway. In other words, it makes no difference one way or the other, unless we think it makes a difference.

Therefore, when you ask, ""Should ***we*** eat food sacrificed to idols?"" you have jumped nearly 2,000 years to this day and age, I presume. I take it that you are asking Christians in the Year of our Lord 2023 whether to eat food sacrificed to idols, or not. **Second**, where I live, I have no awareness of any food being presented before idols prior to being made available to anyone to buy.

But, as the passage shows, there's no need to first hold an inquisition about it, asking questions, ferreting out individuals who might be suspected of the pagan practice and checking if a particular piece of food had been handled by them. That section of scripture, however, has more to say on the matter than just that bit about food presented before an idol. It speaks of not eating meat that has not first been bled. But you do not ask about that, so I will end my answer here.","Underlying the OP question is an issue of reconciling the attitude of Acts (and Revelation) with that of Paul.

The underlying idea here is whether one is committing idolatry, which is the belief that anything, other than God or his agents, has any supernatural power or attribute. Believing that a rabbit's foot provides good luck is a form of idolatry, but so is believing that food that has been sacrificed to an idol is somehow different from food that hasn't. Neither the rabbit's foot nor the food have any supernatural attributes. To avoid something because it is reputed to have a non-existent attribute is equivalent to admitting that it *does* have that attribute. For you, it shouldn't matter at all whether the food was sacrificed, any more than you should care what the phase of the Moon is today, or what constellation was in the sky at your birth. But, if someone gives you something and explicitly or implicitly tells you it has supernatural attributes, *then* you should refuse it.

And by that I mean that two `Results` objects are equal if they are actually a single object but you have two references to it. For example, you can create a single `Results` object and put it in two lists. The objects in the two lists are clearly different objects, so I am guessing that you want to use the first way of comparison. By default, equality check of reference type objects in C# is of the second type. However, you can override this behavior if you want. One way of overriding this behavior is to override the `Equals` and `GetHashCode` methods in the class. Here is an example: ``` public class Results { public string url { get; set; } public string title { get; set; } public override bool Equals(object obj) { Results other = obj as Results; if (other == null) return false; return other.url == this.url && other.title == this.title; } public override int GetHashCode() { return new {url, title}.GetHashCode(); } } ``` This way, we are telling the system how it should test equality for objects of this type.","I'm sure Yacoub's answer would work and is probably the preferred solution in most cases, but in case you can't modify the Results class, here is another way to do it.

They blur into one another and provide benefits which merge those aspects. Fasting is powerful in a spiritual sense because you are choosing to take control of a baser instinct. Hunger is as basic as breathing or sleepiness, so by choosing to overrule that instinct in reflection of a spiritual observance/exercise you are strengthening your divine traits and suppressing primal traits. Torah teaches that the **Nefesh HaBehamit** ""animal soul"" is in conflict with our **Nefesh Ha'elokit** (divine soul) If you are interested in a more detailed explanation of the parts of the soul, you can read more in the Tanya at this link: **** These comprise two different sections of our soul which are in a battle for control. By doing spiritual exercises (such as fasting) you can drive down the animalistic urges and raise yourself to a higher state of craving. You can move from craving that which is harmful to craving that which is beneficial if you practice and focus your time/energy. Fasting is just one of those exercises. Fasting also has a symbolism associated with it in relation to the pain that hunger causes. When we observe **Tisha B'Av** (just one example) we fast. This holiday is a memorial in reflection various wrongs of Jewish history. One of the main reflections is on the loss of the holy temples (first and second). Some reading regarding Tisha B'Av and the tradition of the observance: **** This hunger pain is symbolic of the spiritual pain of our people. We sit in hunger and reflect on this pain and attach that pain to the wrongs and errors of Jewish history. By doing that, we take an impersonal history and we connect to it. I can't know what it was like to lose the holy temple because I never had the holy temple. That doesn't mean I can't reflect on what that loss has done to my ancestors and my peers of today. By connecting the pain of our people to a pain which is rooted in our biology, we groom ourselves to make the suffering of our past a part of who we are. That strengthens us and drives us to honor the past, make peace with the present, and overcome the trials and tribulations of the future. A very detailed reading regarding the purpose of fasting in relation to Judaism: **** **From a physical/scientific standpoint.** Fasting has been found to promote health benefits when done in a controlled manner over regulated periods of time. They recently discovered that if an individual fasts for a period of three days, their immune system resets itself. **** Your body uses the time without food to correct issues on a biological level. Keep in mind, these are controlled fasts which are not extended beyond this period of time. Going beyond this period of time can harm you if you withhold sustenance for too long. Our bodies need nutrition to function correctly.","Fasting is a way of attaining a more spiritual state/frame of mind by disconnecting from physical pleasures.

Возможно потому, что категория конкретности у множественного числа заметно ниже, чем у единственного.

Попробуем разобраться. Как было показано, сами по себе соображения о падеже и/или одушевленности ничего не определяют. Но, как совершенно верно заметила Екатерина, ""опята"" - это форма особая. Исторически ""опята"" было неправильным, слово ""опенок"" не имеет суффикса ""-енок-"": ""-ен-"" - от ""пня"", корень - ""пен"". Это абсолютно препятствовало образованию формы ""опята"", нормативным считалось ""опенки"" - и этим они отличались от ""маслят"". Поэтому *""хочешь опенки?""* (В.п) вполне успешно конкурировало с *""хочешь опенков""* (Р.п.)- и, видимо, даже преобладало. Но дальше под влиянием *""масленок""-""маслята""* и т.п. де-факто произошло переразложение слова *""опенок""*, *""-енок-""* стало восприниматься как суффикс, порождающий во множественном числе новую форму ""опята"". И вот для этой-то новой формы, для которой соверешенно отсутствовала грамматическая традиция разделения родительного и винительного падежей, равно как само ощущение её неодушевленности, появилось закрепленное простой использования *""хочешь опят""* - как субъективно единственная возможная форма в обоих падежах и всех значениях. Но грамматически более правильную *""Хочешь опята?""* для винительного падежа (равно как и саму возможность использования винительного падежа для неодушевленных существительных) никто не отменял. Поэтому *""Ты хочешь опята?""* никак нельзя лишать прав на нормативность. И в заключение.

Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of ""de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum"" (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC.

While this has little benefit when talking about an `int` variable, this could save some memory if you have complex objects. This is because a static variable belongs to a class, not to an instance, thus memory space for it will be reserved only once, and it will be referred by the class object itself, not by the instances. Of course, you should be aware that having `b` as a static variable means that the changes made on this variable will be reflected on all the classes that access this variable, but since you made it `final` this won't be the case.

Each computation returns a list of `len(columns) = 10` elements, which is added to a list of lists (`res`). Say I compute my results for some parameters `len(alpha) = 2`, `len(gamma) = 2`, `rep = 3`, where rep is the number of repetitions that I run. This yields results in the form of a list of lists like this: ``` res = [ [elem_1, ..., elem_10], ..., [elem_1, ..., elem_10] ] ``` I know that `len(res) = len(alpha) * len(gamma) * repetitions = 12` and that each inner list has `len(columns) = 10` elements. I also know that every 3rd list in `res` is going to be a repetition (which I know from the way I set up my nested loops to iterate over all parameter combinations, in fact I am using itertools). I now want to average the result list of lists. What I need to do is to take every `(len(res) // repetitions) = 4`th list , add them together element-wise, and divide by the number of repetitions (3). Sounded easier than done, for me. Here is my ugly attempt to do so: ``` # create a list of lists of lists, where the inner list of lists are lists of the runs with the identical parameters alpha and gamma res = [res[i::(len(res)//rep)] for i in range(len(res)//rep)] avg_res = [] for i in res: result = [] for j in (zip(*i)): result.append(sum(j)) avg_res.append([i/repetitions for i in result]) print(len(result_list), avg_res) ``` This actually yields, what I want, but it surely is not the pythonic way to do it.

When the statement `f(g)` is run, the statement itself is at global scope, so there are no locals. `f` and `g` are both found in the globals: they are both functions. The function defined by `def f...` is called, with the function defined by `def g...` being passed as an argument. When `f(f)` runs, `f` is in the locals for the function. It is bound to the passed-in value, which is the function defined by `def g...`. The body of the function has the statement `f(1)`. `1` is a constant and no lookup is required. `f` is looked up in the locals, and the passed-in function is found. It - being the function known at global scope as `g` - is called. Thus `g` is, likewise, run with the value `1` bound to the local variable `x`.

Assumptions: * `foo` is the old name of the file, and the name the modified file still has on disk * `bar` is the new name you want it to have * There are no changes staged in the index Then do: ``` git update-index --add --cacheinfo ""$(git ls-files --full-name -s foo \ | awk '{print $1 "","" $2 "",bar""}')"" git rm --cached foo git commit -m ""rename foo to bar"" mv foo bar git add bar git commit -m ""make changes to bar"" ``` The `git update-index` tells git to stage a new file in the index with the same hash and mode as the indexed version `foo`, but a new name `bar`. It doesn't consult the disk, it just assumes an object exists with that hash (which it does). The `git rm --cached` tells git to stage a removal of `foo` without touching the disk. Together, they make up a rename, which we can commit. Then we move the file for real, use `git add` to inform git about its new contents, and commit again. Naturally you can also add other changes to this commit. in between the `git update-index` and the `mv`, `git status` will show an un-staged change of `deleted: bar` because the file exists in the index but not on disk (at least not yet under that name), but this isn't a problem. Note that the name `bar` has to be a path relative to the root of the repository, even if you're operating from a sub-directory. For simplicity, operate from the repo root and use the full path for both `foo` and `bar`. None of this is really *simpler* than what you're doing, but it does avoid the need to revert changes from your working tree.","I guess it will sound simplistic, but the simplest solution is: When you're editing a file, and have a bunch of pending edits, and you decide the file needs to be renamed, (1) make a note that you need to rename it (2) get the file to a state where you can commit the changes you have (3) commit it (4) rename it (5) commit the rename (6) if necessary, continue editing That is - if you don't want to commit a rename at the same time as you commit changes to the affected file... then don't. In a very few cases, there may be a reason to commit a rename with a change. For example, a public class name in Java should match its filename. But that's fine - the rename detection change threshold isn't (by default) 100% match anyway. Small changes will rarely hurt anything. But that's not really the issue, because you've already decided you want to do separate commits. So the issue is just a little bit of planning ahead. At the moment you're going to rename a significantly edited file (or significantly edit a renamed file), that's the moment to decide ""oh, I'll want to separate this next step into a different commit from what I've already done"". If you really can't do that, then stash is actually fine. Stash your edits, rename the file, commit, pop the stash. Yes, the popped file will be at the wrong path, so rename it again (overwriting the original). By the way, depending on your workflow this may all be for naught. A merge will not look at the individual commits and will see exactly the same situation as if you had done everything in one commit. If you use a rebase-driven workflow you might find that it really does help (though that has other costs). But overall I'd say there are other strategies that do more to reduce this problem - such as making sure divergent branches are short lived so taht any conflict resolution is kept to a minimum even when rename detection is not successful." 58065328,"I'm using NuxtJS's auth module and trying to get the Bearer token and a custom cookie that contains a sessionType on nuxtServerInit so I can update the `store` with a `mutation`, but it only works when I reload the page.

Suppose we have 100 subjects that get scores from 1 to 100 in 1-point intervals, except that everybody who would have had a score between 26 and 50 instead gets a score of 30. In this case, the average score percentile among the second quartile is either 26 or 50, depending on how you handle endpoints in the percentile calculation. For a dataset with only distinct scores, the average percentile of the second quartile must be 37.5, but it would be possible to find a different average percentile within a quartile that contains tied scores. Not sure if this is the case, or if it's just an error in plotting - even Figures 1 and 4 don't look exactly the same in ""actual test score"" values (the second quantile in Fig 1 is near 35, but it's closer to 40 in Fig 4).","You said: ""*The message is the perceived scores, and the actual scores are shown as a line for reference*"" but I disagree. **It doesn't matter that they aren't straight.** Consider this, a variant of the upper left subplot: [![enter image description here](https://i.stack.imgur.com/Vxxcg.png)](https://i.stack.imgur.com/Vxxcg.png) The yellow-colored region is where the perceived ability is higher than the actual ability. The green region is where the perceived ability is lower than the actual. I think the important point is that when actual skill is low, estimate of performance is falsely very high, but this decreases as skill increases until the skill is very high, and estimated skill is moderately lower than actual skill.

Similarly if 75% of all grades are 10% and the last quarter are 100% then it is strongly concave up. There are many general forms of curves and only a subset are linear.

This would prevent Harry from being able to live there.,2016/01/11,"['https://scifi.stackexchange.com/questions/114415', 'https://scifi.stackexchange.com', 'https://scifi.stackexchange.com/users/55866/']","The Dursleys were safe by the same form of magic that kept Harry safe. However, all of them were only safe within the bounds of their home, till Harry came of age(i.e., he turned 17). Harry or any one of the Dursleys could have been attacked outside their home. Thus, when Harry was about to turn 17, the Order of Phoenix took the Dursleys some place safe. On that night, Harry and his protective guard were attacked as soon as they crossed the 'boundary' that protected the house, since they could not be attacked within that boundary. It was the house which had the protection.

This magic will cease to operate the moment that Harry turns seventeen; in other words, at the moment he becomes a man. I ask only this: that you allow Harry to return, once more, to this house, before his seventeenth birthday, which will ensure that the protection continues until that time.” > > > Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Chapter 3: The Dursleys Departing > > “You claim,” said Uncle Vernon, starting to pace yet again, “that this Lord > Thing—” > > > “—Voldemort,” said Harry impatiently, “and we’ve been through this about > a hundred times already.

According to Dumbledore: > > The magic I evoked fifteen years ago means that Harry has powerful > protection while he can still call this house ‘home.’ > > > Harry and Aunt Marge are the only living relatives of the Dursleys. So if the Dursleys are killed, then Harry will inherit the house or part of it. Technically he will be still able to call the house his 'home' and the protection will stay. There is also the possibility that Vernon and Petunia Dursley created a will that explicitly transfers the full ownership of the house to Aunt Marge in case they are all dead. In this case the Order of the Phoenix will have hard time persuading Aunt Marge to invite Harry to stay until he is seventeen. Still I find this unlikely.

But can i say the following argument: $F\_n=\{0,e,x\_1,\ldots ,x\_{n-2}\}$ ( $e$ is the multiplicative identity ) and since $e\not = 0$ then $e\not = 2e\not =\cdots ,\not = ne$ so we have $n$ distinct elements $ie, i=1,\ldots,n$ of $F\_n$ hence one of them must equal $0$; $ie=0$ for some $i\in \{2,\ldots,n\}$, moreover the trivial field with one element $e=0$ has obviously characteristic $1$. Is there a non-trivial field where $e=0$?",2011/10/31,"['https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/77623', 'https://math.stackexchange.com', 'https://math.stackexchange.com/users/10463/']","Let $1$ denote the *multiplicative* identity of the field. Then, $1 \neq 0$ where $0$ is the *additive* identity. So every field must have at least two elements: your notion of a field with one element $0$ is not correct. So, since the field contains $1$, it contains $1+1$, $1+1+1$, $1 + 1 + 1 + 1, \ldots, 1 + 1 + \cdots + 1$ (where the last sum has $n$ $1$s in it). All these $n$ sums cannot be distinct since the field has only $n-1$ *nonzero* elements. So, for some distinct $i$ and $j$, the sum of $i$ $1$s must equal the sum of $j$ $1$s, and by subtraction, the sum of $|i-j|$ $1$s must equal $0$. The smallest number of $1$s that sum to $0$ is called the characteristic of the finite field, and the characteristic must be a prime number. This is because if the characteristic were a composite number $ab$, then the sum of $a$ $1$s multiplied by the sum of $b$ $1$s, which equals the sum of $ab$ $1$s by the distributive law, would equal $0$, that is, the product of two nonzero elements would equal $0$, which cannot happen in a field.","I feel as though the answer you are stating is making things more difficult. As you pointed out all integral domains are either characterstic zero or of prime characteristic, and so in particular all fields are of prime characteristic or zero characteristic. But, if a field has characteristic zero you know that it's multiplicative identity has infinite additive order and all finite groups (and thus all finite fields) have no elements of infinite order (for the reason FIRST reason you stated). Another route is, if you know group theory (but this is really overkill compared to the other two arguments) to note that $|\mathbb{F}\_q|\mathbb{F}\_q=0$ by Lagrange's theorem, and so all elements have order dividing $|\mathbb{F}\_q|$.

For example, in the IRkernel: ``` system(""echo 'hi'"", intern=TRUE) ``` Output: ``` 'hi' ``` Or to see the first 5 lines of a file: ``` system(""head -5 data/train.csv"", intern=TRUE) ``` As IPython magics are available in the IPython kernel (but not in the IRkernel), I did a quick check if it was possible to access these using the `rPython` and `PythonInR` libraries. However, the issue is that `get_ipython()` isn't visible to the Python code, so none of the following worked: ``` library(""rPython"") rPython::python.exec(""from IPython import get_ipython; get_ipython().run_cell_magic('writefile', 'test.txt', 'This is a test')"") library(""PythonInR"") PythonInR::pyExec(""from IPython import get_ipython; get_ipython().run_cell_magic('head -5 data/test.csv')"") ```","A cosmetic improvement to the output of `system` can be obtained by wrapping the call in `cat` and specify `'\n'` as the separator, which displays the output on separate lines instead of separated by whitespaces which is the default for character vectors. This is very useful for commands like `tree`, since the format of the output makes little sense unless separated by newlines. Compare the following for a sample directory named `test`: **Bash** ``` $ tree test test ├── A1.tif ├── A2.tif ├── A3.tif ├── README └── src ├── sample.R └── sample2.R 1 directory, 6 files ``` **R in Jupyter Notebook** `system` only, difficult to comprehend output: ``` > system('tree test', intern=TRUE) 'test' '├── A1.tif' '├── A2.tif' '├── A3.tif' '├── README' '└── src' ' ├── sample.R' ' └── sample2.R' '' '1 directory, 6 files ``` `cat` + `system`, output looks like in bash: ``` > cat(system('tree test', intern=TRUE), sep='\n') test ├── A1.tif ├── A2.tif ├── A3.tif ├── README └── src ├── sample.R └── sample2.R 1 directory, 6 files ``` Note that for commands like `ls`, the above would introduce a newline where outputs are normally separated by a space in bash.

How do I forward the port with the webserver to my local machine (B). I should be able to browse to `http://localhost:forwardedport` Is this LOCAL or REMOTE port fowarding?

This machine is refered to by ""local"". **Server** means the machine you want to connect to with ssh. This machine is refered to by ""remote"". **Local port forwarding** with ssh means you connect from your client to your server and thereby open a tunnel so that another program on your client can connect via a local port to a host&port on the server site. The option for this is -L local\_port:remote\_machine:remote\_port. **Remote port forwarding** with ssh means you connect from your client to your server and thereby open a tunnel so that a program on your server can connect via a port on the server to a host&port on the client site. The option for this is -R remote\_port:local\_machine:local\_port. If I understand you correctly, you want a local forwarding, e.g. create a connection to your server name.dnydns-server.com and then connect with your local browser to port 8888 on name.dnydns-server.com. The following command from your list should actually do what you want: ``` ssh -L 8888:localhost:8888 name.dnydns-server.com ``` The first 8888 is the port on your client that your additional program (browser) can connet to. The ""localhost"" in that line is seen from the end of the tunnel, that is on the server (name.dnydns-server.com). There localhost is the machine itself so it's the one you want. (You could place a different name on the network of your server there to access that) The second 8888 is the port you want to connect to on the server site. If you run your webserver on the standard port 80, you'll have to change this to 80. name.dnydns-server.com is the name of your ssh server where you connect to, which is then the endpoint of the tunnel. I don't know why this line didn't work for you though. Did you quit the ssh? It has to stay connected the whole time for the tunnel to work. Default port on the webserver? Webserver not running? **Edit:** I changed the definition of ""client"" and ""server"" to clarify things, so some of the comments don't apply anymore and refer to deleted content.","I am presuming that the server has sshd installed, and listening on the well known default port (22), and that the web server is listening on the well-known default port (80). The assumption is that the server is the server (A) is the 'conduit' through which you want to tunnel to get to the web server. Here's what you need to 'tell' ssh in this case: ``` ssh -L :: @ ``` So, here's what I think it should look like based on what I think you're trying to do: ``` ssh -L 8888:web.server.dyndns-server.com:80 youruserid@yourserver ``` Do this, then point your browser to localhost:8888." 33134621,"I want to compile this code: ``` #include #include #include int main ( int argc , char ** argv ) { printf (""%zu\n"", alignof ( max_align_t )); return 0; } ``` But compiler says that: ``` error: ‘max_align_t’ undeclared"". ``` `stddef.h` is included and everything must be ok, isn't it?

To test this, consider the following setup: 1. A custom HTML tag that pushes a nested object to the dataLayer ```html ``` 2. A Tag Template that pushes a simple event to the dataLayer ```js const dataLayerPush = require('createQueue')('dataLayer'); dataLayerPush({event:'test'}); data.gtmOnSuccess(); ``` These 2, when fired, will produce seemingly identical results. Check the linked image for details. [Test Events pushed by the Tag Template (1) and Custom HTML Tag (2)](https://i.stack.imgur.com/QP3Np.png) However, if you set up a Custom Event Trigger that listens for `'test'` event names, only the one created by the Tag Template will fire. You can also see that the one created by the Tag Template also has a `gtm.uniqueEventId` key-value pair. The objects are not the same, and they are not treated the same way.

Certainly this is possible: let $F$ and $G$ be the rationals and the irrationals, respectively.

Altering the base set from $\mathbb{R}$ to $\mathbb{Q}$ doesn't change any of this. For instance, you can let $F$ be the set of rationals with prime denominators (in lowest terms).

Do not call `prepare()` twice (once in the constructor and the other explicitly). That could be one of the reasons that the `IllegalStateException` is thrown. 2. Also, is the file that you are trying to play inside the application? If so, why are you trying to create a stream? If the file is already within the application (and within `/res/raw`, you could try and save yourself the hassle of using `prepare()` by creating the mediaplayer object like so: mediaplayer = new MediaPlayer.create(this, R.raw.resource-name here); The create function calls `prepare()` within. 3. You can also try and use the `reset()` function if any one of the stages in the MediaPlayer fails resulting in the MediaPlayer object entering the error state. Using `reset()` would bring it back to Idle state. 4. The last time I had that error `status=0x1` message, it turned out that I had not had the correct permissions set for the files (external storage etc. in Manifest) and some files placed in incorrect folders. You may also want to take a look at that. Let me know in case that does not work, We can try something else. Sriram.","It seems you are calling `prepare()` twice, first in the constructor of `AudioVideoEntry`, and second in the method `prepareMedia()`, that's why it's giving an `IllegalStateException`.

If the file is already within the application (and within `/res/raw`, you could try and save yourself the hassle of using `prepare()` by creating the mediaplayer object like so: mediaplayer = new MediaPlayer.create(this, R.raw.resource-name here); The create function calls `prepare()` within. 3. You can also try and use the `reset()` function if any one of the stages in the MediaPlayer fails resulting in the MediaPlayer object entering the error state. Using `reset()` would bring it back to Idle state. 4. The last time I had that error `status=0x1` message, it turned out that I had not had the correct permissions set for the files (external storage etc. in Manifest) and some files placed in incorrect folders. You may also want to take a look at that. Let me know in case that does not work, We can try something else.

Partly out of a desire to make sure it works for me, and partly out of thinking ""this would be cool,"" I downloaded the Windows subsystem for Linux. It has official support from Microsoft, and it is specialized for just one OS, so I figured that it would be faster and closer to the performance I can expect were it my primary OS. However, it is only the terminal, not the full DE. Anyway, I had some fun with text-based programs like Lynx, but wanted more. With a few guides from the internet, I downloaded an X server to Windows, and got Ubuntu to use that. Now I can run Ubuntu apps mostly natively, interacting with other windows just like regular programs. However, this still is not how I would use Ubuntu; I want a desktop environment.

This is why software installation is a potential risk and should be validated by a user who knows what he is doing. Even for open source Software you can not be sure that no bad code bits arrive with your percious new audio player until someone checked. And even then something could have been overlooked or packages could be manipulated on the way. Who knows what's hidden in the depth of the program? One user should. Ubuntu provides a comfortable way of installing software. Software developers can rely on that comfort and make the assumption that synaptic/software center/apt enables them to access these sensitive files. Canonical checks the software repository for bugs and malicious code. But the ultimate responsibility is yours. If the software in question does not need access to sensitive files, it can (in principle) be installed in the home folder though not in the Ubuntu way. You will for instance have to compile the source code yourself or run a custom install script. Beside the greater efforts of that it has the disadvantage of not allowing other users access to your just installed program (as they have no right to access your home-folder). They will need to installed it a second time. So this way of installation makes no sense in a large scale and in a small scale it's usually easier to type a password than to install software manually. So that's why Synaptic aaks for a password and why it's good that it does. --- Sudoers ------- **If you are really in dire need of having other users install software without password**, you can add them to the sudoers list. This however will result in **a great security risk**. If that doesn't concern you, consider that there a bot networks out there with great resources to break into your computer via Internet. They do this just to add your computer to the net and use it's connection and computing power without your knowledge to do all sorts of illegal stuff. They are not even after your personal data your you for that matter. They just want to hijack your PC. Still not concerned? Really? Then look at the following answer which is a small how-to on the workings of sudoers list: [How to make Ubuntu remember forever the password after the first time](https://askubuntu.com/questions/43969/how-to-make-ubuntu-remember-forever-the-password-after-the-first-time/43978#43978) Read that carefully. You could lock yourself out of the system. ### The scare is over So now you have the scare behind you are and taking the matter seriously, I can tell you it's really not that bad. If you trust the people working on your computer, and you don't have programs installed that allow remote access to your system (e.g. an ssh- or ftp-server), then it's really not that dangerous to disable the password stuff. Just don't do it without considering the worst case and think of your private data. --- Overlook on the proceedings (**don't do this lightly** - see text and [link above](https://askubuntu.com/questions/43969/how-to-make-ubuntu-remember-forever-the-password-after-the-first-time/43978#43978)): ``` # in shell type these commands sudo su # in case you do something stupid, you'll have a root shell open select-editor # (optional) will allow you to select text editor visudo # secure way to open sudoers list ``` An editor will open ADD a line like this: ``` confus confusion=(root) NOPASSWD:/usr/sbin/synaptic,/usr/bin/software-center ``` Syntax explanation: `username machine=(usernameToRunCommandAs) command1,command2,...`. So the above line allows confus to run synaptic and softwarecenter as root without password query. You will still need to start it with `sudo synaptic` or `gksudo synaptic` or put an alias `alias synaptic='sudo synaptic' in your shell profile.","You touched upon a BIG difference between windows and ubuntu. In Windows when you are logged in as an admin programms will be installed without asking for a password. This enables also malware to run their programs. In Ubuntu (Linux) even being logged in as an admin the system will always ask for your password when you change the system. Therefore, malware cant intrude your system easily. To sum up run Ubuntu as an admin.

Canonical checks the software repository for bugs and malicious code. But the ultimate responsibility is yours. If the software in question does not need access to sensitive files, it can (in principle) be installed in the home folder though not in the Ubuntu way. You will for instance have to compile the source code yourself or run a custom install script. Beside the greater efforts of that it has the disadvantage of not allowing other users access to your just installed program (as they have no right to access your home-folder). They will need to installed it a second time. So this way of installation makes no sense in a large scale and in a small scale it's usually easier to type a password than to install software manually. So that's why Synaptic aaks for a password and why it's good that it does. --- Sudoers ------- **If you are really in dire need of having other users install software without password**, you can add them to the sudoers list. This however will result in **a great security risk**. If that doesn't concern you, consider that there a bot networks out there with great resources to break into your computer via Internet. They do this just to add your computer to the net and use it's connection and computing power without your knowledge to do all sorts of illegal stuff. They are not even after your personal data your you for that matter. They just want to hijack your PC. Still not concerned? Really? Then look at the following answer which is a small how-to on the workings of sudoers list: [How to make Ubuntu remember forever the password after the first time](https://askubuntu.com/questions/43969/how-to-make-ubuntu-remember-forever-the-password-after-the-first-time/43978#43978) Read that carefully. You could lock yourself out of the system. ### The scare is over So now you have the scare behind you are and taking the matter seriously, I can tell you it's really not that bad. If you trust the people working on your computer, and you don't have programs installed that allow remote access to your system (e.g. an ssh- or ftp-server), then it's really not that dangerous to disable the password stuff. Just don't do it without considering the worst case and think of your private data. --- Overlook on the proceedings (**don't do this lightly** - see text and [link above](https://askubuntu.com/questions/43969/how-to-make-ubuntu-remember-forever-the-password-after-the-first-time/43978#43978)): ``` # in shell type these commands sudo su # in case you do something stupid, you'll have a root shell open select-editor # (optional) will allow you to select text editor visudo # secure way to open sudoers list ``` An editor will open ADD a line like this: ``` confus confusion=(root) NOPASSWD:/usr/sbin/synaptic,/usr/bin/software-center ``` Syntax explanation: `username machine=(usernameToRunCommandAs) command1,command2,...`. So the above line allows confus to run synaptic and softwarecenter as root without password query. You will still need to start it with `sudo synaptic` or `gksudo synaptic` or put an alias `alias synaptic='sudo synaptic' in your shell profile.","In Ubuntu, the administrator has root privileges (often referred as just ""root"", as in ""you need to be root""). Access to files can be split in three types: * read (numeric value 4) * write (numeric value 2) * execute (numeric value 1) These attributes can be set on every file or directory. Furthermore, these restrictions can be set on: * the owner of the file * the group of the file (users can be a member of this group) * all other users which are not the owner nor in the group These principles forms the basics of Linux file permissions. In windows, everything can be executed. Give it an `.cmd` or `.exe` extension for example. In Ubuntu, you need to add the execute bit explicitly, otherwise a permission error will be raised. When an user executes a program, the program accesses files as that user and these file permissions kicks in. By default, locations where programs are installed are privileged, only the owner can write. This owner is root. All other users can only read and execute the program, not write to it. That's why you need root privileges to install programs. Ubuntu has a special program called `sudo` (SuperUser DO ...) to run programs with root privileges. This can be used for installing software. When run, the `sudo` program asks you for your user password. Note that only members of the `admin` group can run programs as root using `sudo`. In Windows, you would go to a website and download an installer. Ubuntu works with a software repository in which you can search for programs and install those. These programs are reviewed before added to the official repositories, so you can be sure that no harmful intentions exist in the programs." 48243,"This is probably something I don't understand since I am used to Windows and am only starting out with Ubuntu.

(This is also why running third party .debs is bad, the package and it's included scripts have root access to your system)","You can install software as a regular, non-admin, user. Software installed by a regular user will be ""owned"" by that user, which means that, in effect, it is an extension of the user -- it has no more permissions than the owning user does, though it may have fewer permissions, at the user's option. A common practice is for a user to create a 'bin' directory within their home directory. If /home/[user]/bin exists, it is added to the beginning of that user's path. You can place executable files in /home/[user]/bin, or in any other folder to which you have write and execute access, and execute the program from there. What a regular user can't do is install a package system-wide. A regular user can't put executable files in /usr/bin, for instance, nor grant them permissions that exceed the user's own permissions. This is, obviously, for basic security reasons -- you need admin permissions to reformat a hard drive, for instance, and you don't want someone unauthorized doing that. As far as I know, you cannot use package management software to install a software package unless you have admin permissions, as package management is done system-wide. However, without admin permissions, you can create shell scripts, write and compile source code, download and compile ""tarballs"", which are packages of source code for complex applications, or download executable files, so long as these can be used with only the permissions of a regular user.

Just don't do it without considering the worst case and think of your private data. --- Overlook on the proceedings (**don't do this lightly** - see text and [link above](https://askubuntu.com/questions/43969/how-to-make-ubuntu-remember-forever-the-password-after-the-first-time/43978#43978)): ``` # in shell type these commands sudo su # in case you do something stupid, you'll have a root shell open select-editor # (optional) will allow you to select text editor visudo # secure way to open sudoers list ``` An editor will open ADD a line like this: ``` confus confusion=(root) NOPASSWD:/usr/sbin/synaptic,/usr/bin/software-center ``` Syntax explanation: `username machine=(usernameToRunCommandAs) command1,command2,...`. So the above line allows confus to run synaptic and softwarecenter as root without password query. You will still need to start it with `sudo synaptic` or `gksudo synaptic` or put an alias `alias synaptic='sudo synaptic' in your shell profile.","Non-admin users cannot install software because the packages run as root when they're installing as they install to privileged parts of the system, run maintainer scripts, etc. There is currently no way to tell the system ""Install firefox from this .deb but in a user's home directory so that it's isolated from the rest of the system""; which is why currently it's mostly an all or nothing affair.

Access to files can be split in three types: * read (numeric value 4) * write (numeric value 2) * execute (numeric value 1) These attributes can be set on every file or directory. Furthermore, these restrictions can be set on: * the owner of the file * the group of the file (users can be a member of this group) * all other users which are not the owner nor in the group These principles forms the basics of Linux file permissions. In windows, everything can be executed. Give it an `.cmd` or `.exe` extension for example. In Ubuntu, you need to add the execute bit explicitly, otherwise a permission error will be raised. When an user executes a program, the program accesses files as that user and these file permissions kicks in. By default, locations where programs are installed are privileged, only the owner can write. This owner is root. All other users can only read and execute the program, not write to it. That's why you need root privileges to install programs. Ubuntu has a special program called `sudo` (SuperUser DO ...) to run programs with root privileges. This can be used for installing software. When run, the `sudo` program asks you for your user password. Note that only members of the `admin` group can run programs as root using `sudo`. In Windows, you would go to a website and download an installer. Ubuntu works with a software repository in which you can search for programs and install those. These programs are reviewed before added to the official repositories, so you can be sure that no harmful intentions exist in the programs.","You touched upon a BIG difference between windows and ubuntu.

The main problem seemed to be your subset condition in the `data =` argument of `geom_point`; in both `t.survframe` and `t.survframe2`, a table of `n.censor` yielded values 0, 3 and 12. By changing the subset condition to `n.censor > 0`, I managed to get a plot in all cases. I also didn't see the point of `f.CI = ""default""`, so I set the default to TRUE and modified the if conditions accordingly. ``` qplot_survival <- function(f.frame, f.CI= TRUE, f.shape=3) { # use different plotting commands depending whether # or not strata are given# if(!(""strata"" %in% names(f.frame))) { #confidence intervals are drawn if not specified otherwise# if( isTRUE(f.CI) ) { # create plot with 4 layers (first 3 layers only events, # last layer only censored)# # hint: censoring data for multiple censoring events at # timepoint are overplotted# # (unlike in plot.survfit in survival package)# ggplot(data=f.frame) + geom_step(aes(x=time, y=surv), direction=""hv"") + geom_step(aes(x=time, y=upper), direction =""hv"", linetype=2) + geom_step(aes(x=time,y=lower), direction=""hv"", linetype=2) + geom_point(data=subset(f.frame, n.censor > 0), aes(x=time, y=surv), shape=f.shape) } else { #create plot without confidence intervals# ggplot(data=f.frame) + geom_step(aes(x=time, y=surv), direction=""hv"") + geom_point(data=subset(f.frame, n.censor > 0), aes(x=time, y=surv), shape=f.shape) } } else { if( !(isTRUE(f.CI)) ){ #without CI# ggplot(data=f.frame, aes(group=strata, colour=strata)) + geom_step(aes(x=time, y=surv), direction=""hv"") + geom_point(data=subset(f.frame, n.censor > 0), aes(x=time, y=surv), shape=f.shape) } else { #with CI (hint: use alpha for CI)# ggplot(data=f.frame, aes(x = time, colour=strata, group=strata)) + geom_step(aes(y=surv), direction=""hv"") + geom_step(aes(y=upper), direction=""hv"", linetype=2, alpha=0.5) + geom_step(aes(y=lower), direction=""hv"", linetype=2, alpha=0.5) + geom_point(data=subset(f.frame, n.censor > 0), aes(y=surv), shape=f.shape) } } } ``` The following plots all worked for me after making these changes: ``` qplot_survival(t.survframe2, TRUE, 20) qplot_survival(t.survframe2, FALSE, 20) qplot_survival(t.survframe, TRUE, 20) qplot_survival(t.survframe, FALSE, 20) ``` A couple of comments: 1. Subsetting inside a function can be dangerous because sometimes, as in this case, satisfying the condition returns a zero-row data frame. I'd consider whether or not the `geom_point()` layer is really necessary. 2. In a couple of places, you had `directions = ""hv""` inside a `geom_step()` call. The argument is not pluralized and has been changed above. 3. This could be done a little more efficiently I think, but one way to extract the columns of interest from a `survfit` object, say `t.survfit`, is something like this: (Expand comps when strata are present) ``` comps <- c(2:6, 8, 10); t.fit <- as.data.frame(do.call(cbind, lapply(comps, function(j) t.survfit[[j]]))) names(t.fit) <- names(t.survfit)[comps] ```","Here is another version that also accounts for the case when there are no censoring points in your data (@Dennis's version still fails in that case). This could be made more efficient, probably by creating a variable that stores how many censoring points there are in the entire dataframe upfront, and re-use that, rather than testing like I do again in each case. ``` # define custom function to draw kaplan-meier curve with ggplot qplot_survival <- function(f.frame, f.CI=""default"", f.shape=3){ # use different plotting commands dependig whether or not strata's are given if(""strata"" %in% colnames(f.frame) == FALSE){ # confidence intervals are drawn if not specified otherwise if(f.CI==""default"" | f.CI==TRUE ){ # create plot with 4 layers (first 3 layers only events, last layer only censored) # hint: censoring data for multiple censoring events at timepoint are overplotted # (unlike in plot.survfit in survival package) p <- ggplot(data=f.frame) + geom_step(aes(x=time, y=surv), direction=""hv"") + geom_step(aes(x=time, y=upper), directions=""hv"", linetype=2) + geom_step(aes(x=time,y=lower), direction=""hv"", linetype=2) if(nrow(subset(f.frame, n.censor > 0)) > 0){ p+geom_point(data=subset(f.frame, n.censor > 0), aes(x=time, y=surv), shape=f.shape) }else{ p } } else { # create plot without confidence intervalls p <- ggplot(data=f.frame) + geom_step(aes(x=time, y=surv), direction=""hv"") if(nrow(subset(f.frame, n.censor > 0)) > 0){ p + geom_point(data=subset(f.frame, n.censor > 0), aes(x=time, y=surv), shape=f.shape) }else{ p } } } else { if(f.CI==""default"" | f.CI==FALSE){ # without CI p <- ggplot(data=f.frame, aes(group=strata, colour=strata)) + geom_step(aes(x=time, y=surv), direction=""hv"") if(nrow(subset(f.frame, n.censor > 0)) > 0){ p +geom_point(data=subset(f.frame, n.censor > 0), aes(x=time, y=surv), shape=f.shape) }else{ p } } else { # with CI (hint: use alpha for CI) p <- ggplot(data=f.frame, aes(colour=strata, group=strata)) + geom_step(aes(x=time, y=surv), direction=""hv"") + geom_step(aes(x=time, y=upper), directions=""hv"", linetype=2, alpha=0.5) + geom_step(aes(x=time,y=lower), direction=""hv"", linetype=2, alpha=0.5) if(nrow(subset(f.frame, n.censor > 0)) > 0){ p + geom_point(data=subset(f.frame, n.censor > 0), aes(x=time, y=surv), shape=f.shape) }else{ p } } } } ```" 63196690,"A Worker Service is the new way to write a Windows service in .NET Core 3.x.

The most robust way, without testing it, in order to avoid the minute chance of the same record being selected twice in two running requests will probably be to lock the table and perform the read and update in a transaction. You would have to use a storage engine that supports this, such as InnoDB. The way to accomplish `LOCK TABLES` and `UNLOCK TABLES` with transactional tables, such as InnoDB tables, is to begin a transaction with `SET autocommit = 0`, **not** `START TRANSACTION`, followed by `LOCK TABLES`. Then you should not call `UNLOCK TABLES` until you commit the transaction explicitly. For example, if you need to read and write to your table in one go, you can do this: ``` SET autocommit = 0; LOCK TABLES ad_banner_queue AS ad_banner_queue_w WRITE, ad_banner_queue AS ad_banner_queue_r READ; ... perform your select query on ad_banner_queue_r, then update that row in ad_banner_queue_w with is_sent = 1... COMMIT; UNLOCK TABLES; ``` The reason we lock with an alias is that you [cannot refer to a locked table multiple times in a single query using the same name](https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/lock-tables.html).

The problem in here is you will lock the whole table while this is done and you need to be careful with your DB Driver and autocommits. * **Cursors** Cursors are database structures created basically for the duty you are willing to do, you create a cursor and safely traverse it with [its functions](https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/cursors.html). Using cursors into PHP might be very tricky due to transactions too and you need to know very well what are you doing to avoid errors. * **Cursors and stored procedures** the best way to handle this into database is managing cursors inside the database itself, that's why stored procedures are there, just create procedures to pull a new item from your cursor and to fill it again once it's all consumed. Handle it on PHP side ===================== In this case you need to implement your own queue on PHP and there might be several ways to do so but the main problem might be implementing multiprocess-safe atomic operations on your app, I personally dislike using any kind of locks if you are not 100% sure of the execution flow of your app or you might end up locking it all. Anyway there are three chances in here: * **Use sems or mutex** both included on php or third party, timeouts and locks can become a hell and they are not easy to detect so as stated above I'd avoid it. * **[Use PHP MSG Queue](https://secure.php.net/manual/en/function.msg-get-queue.php)** I think this is the safest way as long as you run your app on a \*nix system, just send all the available ads to the message queue instead of creating a table on database, once all ads are consumed you can regenerate the queue once again, the drawback of this system is your server can not be distributed and you might lose the current queue status if you don't save it before a restart. * **Third party queue system** depending on your app workload or interactions you might need to use a queue management system, this is a must if you want a distributed system, it might sound too serious using a msg queue system to handle this issue but this kind of approaches may be life-savers. Summary ======= If you can't live with it and are proficient enough with databases i'd go for stored procedures and cursors, you don't need to break your mind with concurrency, database will handle it as long as you are using an ACID compliant database (not MyISAM i.e.) If you want to avoid conding into the database and your system is \*nix and not going to be distributed you can give a try to msg\_queues If you think your system may be sometime distributed or do not rely on old SysV mechanisms you can give a try to a message broker like RabbitMQ, this nice things are addictive and once you start using them you start seeing new uses for them daily.","You may use [mutex](https://www.yiiframework.com/doc/api/2.0/yii-mutex-mutex) component to ensure that there is only one process trying to pop ad from queue. ``` $banner = []; $key = __CLASS__ .

The problem in here is you will lock the whole table while this is done and you need to be careful with your DB Driver and autocommits. * **Cursors** Cursors are database structures created basically for the duty you are willing to do, you create a cursor and safely traverse it with [its functions](https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/cursors.html). Using cursors into PHP might be very tricky due to transactions too and you need to know very well what are you doing to avoid errors. * **Cursors and stored procedures** the best way to handle this into database is managing cursors inside the database itself, that's why stored procedures are there, just create procedures to pull a new item from your cursor and to fill it again once it's all consumed. Handle it on PHP side ===================== In this case you need to implement your own queue on PHP and there might be several ways to do so but the main problem might be implementing multiprocess-safe atomic operations on your app, I personally dislike using any kind of locks if you are not 100% sure of the execution flow of your app or you might end up locking it all. Anyway there are three chances in here: * **Use sems or mutex** both included on php or third party, timeouts and locks can become a hell and they are not easy to detect so as stated above I'd avoid it. * **[Use PHP MSG Queue](https://secure.php.net/manual/en/function.msg-get-queue.php)** I think this is the safest way as long as you run your app on a \*nix system, just send all the available ads to the message queue instead of creating a table on database, once all ads are consumed you can regenerate the queue once again, the drawback of this system is your server can not be distributed and you might lose the current queue status if you don't save it before a restart. * **Third party queue system** depending on your app workload or interactions you might need to use a queue management system, this is a must if you want a distributed system, it might sound too serious using a msg queue system to handle this issue but this kind of approaches may be life-savers. Summary ======= If you can't live with it and are proficient enough with databases i'd go for stored procedures and cursors, you don't need to break your mind with concurrency, database will handle it as long as you are using an ACID compliant database (not MyISAM i.e.) If you want to avoid conding into the database and your system is \*nix and not going to be distributed you can give a try to msg\_queues If you think your system may be sometime distributed or do not rely on old SysV mechanisms you can give a try to a message broker like RabbitMQ, this nice things are addictive and once you start using them you start seeing new uses for them daily.","Make your index unique or make a check that checks the data and see's if it is a duplicate.

HTML is ""stateless"", so you cannot expect one page to know what ads have previously been displayed. So, you have to either pass this info from page to page, or store it somewhere in the database associated with the individual user. You also want some randomizing? Let's do both things at the same time. What is the ""state""? There is an ""initial state"", at which time you randomly pick the first ad to display. And you pass that info on to the next page (in the url or in a cookie or in the database). The other ""state"" looks at the previous state and computes which ad to display next. (Eventually, you need to worry about running out of ads -- will you start over? Will you re-randomize? Etc.) But how to avoid showing the same ""random"" ad twice in a row? * You have N ads -- `SELECT COUNT(*) ...` * You picked add number J as the first ad to display -- simple application of `RAND()`, either in SQL or in the app. * Pick a number, M, such that M and N are ""relatively prime"". * The ""next"" ad is number (J := (J + M) mod N). This will cycle through all the ads without duplicating until all have been shown. -- Again, this can be done in SQL or in the ap. * Pass J and M from one page to the next. To get the J'th row: Either have the rows uniquely *and* consecutively numbered; or use `ORDER BY ... LIMIT 1 OFFSET J`. (Caveat: it may be tricky to fill J into the SQL.) No table locks, no mutexes, just passing info from one page to the next.","You can use transactions and SELECT FOR UPDATE construction for lock data and consistent executing of queries.

Or something else entirely?",2018/08/22,"['https://engineering.stackexchange.com/questions/23404', 'https://engineering.stackexchange.com', 'https://engineering.stackexchange.com/users/17255/']","A wider road will have faster average traffic speeds, because faster vehicles will be hindered less by slow ones, with more lanes available for overtaking. So longer visibility distances are needed for safety, and hence more gradual curves and more gradual changes of gradient (no ""hidden spots"" over the brow of a hill, etc). Note, for most ""fast"" roads traffic speeds are not limited at all by the radius of the curves, except perhaps in very severe weather conditions (snow and ice, standing rainwater, etc). Aside from breaking the law and the hazards posed by other vehicles, there would be no problem in driving a modern vehicle along the road way above the legal speed limit.","I am familiar with this effect; with careful observation you can count at least three rounds of road-straightening on highway 17 between the cities of San Jose and Santa Cruz in California. The first road was built over 100 years ago and carried horse-drawn wagons. At the time, moving large volumes of earth and rock was more expensive than surfacing the road and so it followed sharp curves in the mountainsides instead of being extensively built on fill from nearby road cuts. Then came automobiles and more and faster traffic, and when widening the original stage road the sharpest turns were rounded off to carry faster vehicles and cut-and-fill was used so the mountain contours didn't have to be closely followed. At each step in this decades-long process, the cost of earthmoving fell and the cost of pavement rose, and so it became economical to use more and more cut-and-fill in conjunction with straighter and straighter road paths. The stage road is now a 4-lane freeway which still has a few somewhat sharp turns in it but much of it is built by cut-and-fill and can be traversed at 50 to 60 MPH." 4627682,"This is an extremely elementary question but I want to make sure I understand this right. If someone adds two numbers in their mind and tells us the sum, it is impossible to prove mathematically what two numbers they chose (in most cases). The number of distinct ways to add two numbers to form say, an integer $n$, is something like $ceil((N+1)/2)$ ([here](https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/3034937/how-many-ways-can-a-number-be-written-as-a-sum-of-two-non-negative-integers)). This shows us that there is more than one way, for any number from 2 and beyond. I think I am thinking about a function mapping each pair of elements to its sum, and observing that it is not injective. I am just trying to understand why. As integers are sort of the conceptual basis for the concept of a group (I think), is the fact that different elements can combine to form the same element a result of ""closure"", in that, when we look at the Cayley table of a group, we will see each element of the group exactly once? So is it a necessary condition on any group that the function (x, y) -> (x + y) can not be bijective? Or is there any relationship between groups cycles and elements having unique composition? Maybe I am completely off-track here but I am trying to ask the fundamental question of why addition is not reversible and what kind of related structure does on the other hand have that property. What deep difference in structure or properties do they have, allowing this?",2023/01/28,"['https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/4627682', 'https://math.stackexchange.com', 'https://math.stackexchange.com/users/990260/']","If you want 4, 1+3 and 2+2 to be separate elements of your collection, then you should also be able to involve these elements in sums separately. so 5+4, 5+(1+3), and 5+(2+2) should all be different elements of your structure as well. Consider the set of expressions built up out of base elements via binary sums, with the trivial operation of addition being ""add parentheses and stick a + sign between"". So addition takes 5 and 4 as inputs and outputs 5+4 and addition takes 5 and 1+3 as inputs and outputs 5+(1+3). This is a reasonable operation, but it's not associative (we view 5+(1+3) and (5+1)+3 as different expressions) and it doesn't have inverses, so it's not a group. If you want a group, the operation on the one element group is bijective.","Multiplication of prime numbers is reversible, in the sense that any positive integer is expressible as a product of primes in just one way (not counting changing order...).

The problem is choosing the point that is nearest the mouse click. `MousePosition[""Graphics3DBoxIntercepts""]` returns the coordinates of the two points of the bounding box below the mouse click, which I think of as determining a line. The function `projCoords` converts the points in the bunny to ""coordinates"" that are the distance from the line determined by these points divided by 10 and the distance of the projection of the vector from the front mouse-click intercept to the point on the bunny. The ""divide by 10"" factor makes the distance from the line dominant. Sometimes a point behind the surface may be chosen, especially in non-convex regions where there are not many points in front that are close to the line. If 10 is made much smaller, then a point close to the front box intercept but far from the line may be chosen. The point and the index in the `GraphicsComplex` are shown in the plot label. ``` bunny = Import[""http://graphics.stanford.edu/~mdfisher/Data/Meshes/bunny.obj"", ""OBJ""]; projCoords[{v1_, v2_}] := (* #/10 emphasizes distance from line of sight *) Function[{u}, Norm /@ ({#/10, u - v1 - #} &@Projection[u - v1, v2 - v1])] DynamicModule[{img = bunny, pts0, clicked = {}, mp = {}}, Cases[img, GraphicsComplex[pts_, ___] :> (pts0 = pts), Infinity, 1]; EventHandler[ MouseAppearance[ Show[img, Graphics3D[{Red, PointSize[Large], Dynamic@If[VectorQ[clicked, NumericQ], {Point[clicked], Blue, Line[mp]}, {}]}], Boxed -> True, Axes -> True, AxesLabel -> {x, y, z}, PlotLabel -> Dynamic[{clicked, Position[pts0, clicked]}], AbsoluteOptions[img, PlotRange], SphericalRegion -> True], ""Arrow""], {""MouseClicked"" :> ({clicked} = Nearest[(projCoords[mp = MousePosition[""Graphics3DBoxIntercepts""]] /@ pts0) -> pts0, {0, 0}])}, PassEventsDown -> True] ] ``` ![Bunny with selected point](https://i.stack.imgur.com/3ewJE.png) The option `PassEventsDown -> True` allows the bunny to be rotated. **Edit**: Added `PlotRange` control and a `MouseAppearance` that makes it easier to pinpoint a vertex.","Perhaps you can use something like this: I took the points in the `GraphisComplex` and made an additional set of `Point`s representing the vertices in `Yellow`. The points are extracted and then put back by means of a replacement rule: ``` data = ExampleData[{""Geometry3D"", ""StanfordBunny""}, ""VertexData""]; bunny = ListSurfacePlot3D[data, MaxPlotPoints -> 50, Boxed -> False, Axes -> None, Mesh -> False, PlotStyle -> Brown]; Print@Show[ bunny /. g_GraphicsComplex :> GraphicsComplex[g[[1]], Join[g[[2]], {Opacity[0.5], Yellow, PointSize[.01], Tooltip[Point[#], #] & /@ Range[Length[g[[1]]]]}]], ImageSize -> 500 ] ``` ![bunny](https://i.stack.imgur.com/DLadx.png) You can still use the mouse to drag and rotate the object, but when you hover over a vertex (which sticks out of the surface as a yellow object), the index of that point in the `GraphicsComplex` is displayed as a `Tooltip`. I thought this is better than making the vertices clickable because that interferes with the 3D rotation. The extra `Print` in front of the `Show` is needed in order to suppress a warning triggered by the large size of the `Graphics3D` output. **Edit** If you want something that respons to mouse clicks in a useful way, it's straightforward to combine the above approach with [another answer](https://mathematica.stackexchange.com/a/16927/245) where I showed a way to convert `Tooltip` into `Button` objects. If you then use the `toolSpoolRule` from that answer, you can get a *permanent record* of the vertices that you have clicked, in the form of a `List` on the `Clipboard` which can be pasted anywhere you want. Here I repeat the only additional definition we need: ``` toolSpoolRule = Tooltip[t__] :> Button[Tooltip[t], CopyToClipboard[ First@Append[ Cases[NotebookGet[ClipboardNotebook[]], TooltipBox[x_, ""\""Clicked Points\"""", ___] :> Tooltip[Append[ToExpression[x], Last[{t}]], ""Clicked Points""], Infinity], Tooltip[{Last[{t}]}, ""Clicked Points""]]]]; ``` Now replace the plot command by the following: ``` Print[ Show[bunny /. g_GraphicsComplex :> GraphicsComplex[g[[1]], Join[g[[2]], {Opacity[0.5], Yellow, PointSize[.01], Tooltip[Point[#], #] & /@ Range[Length[g[[1]]]]}]], ImageSize -> 500] /. toolSpoolRule ] ``` You get visually the same output, but when you see a `Tooltip` appearing near a vertex that you hover on, you can now click the mouse to *add the vertex index to the clipboard*.

For a price we're comfortable with, he will either provide us with hi-res masters (24bit, 48khz - the recording quality), or with CD-quality masters + DDP file (16bit-44.1khz). My gut is to get the hi-res masters, buy [Triumph](http://www.audiofile-engineering.com/triumph/) for $79, and do the conversion and create the DDP file myself. However, the engineer said he does a separate mastering pass for each quality he does. My question is: what might necessitate a different mastering pass for the CD-quality version? What benefit might there be to getting the mastering engineer to do the CD-quality version instead of just converting it myself from the hi-res version?",2014/01/31,"['https://sound.stackexchange.com/questions/26682', 'https://sound.stackexchange.com', 'https://sound.stackexchange.com/users/7283/']","Dither, Noise Shaping, and Bit Quantization. These are the reasons for the separate mastering passes. All of which do not need to be considered when mixing/bouncing the audio in the native digital format it was converted to (24bit/48khz). Also, it sounds like he will provide you with individual ""HiRes"" native files OR Will downsample for you and create a DDP file. (Which is a FINAL Copy including play order and silence between songs that you can usually upload directly to a CD cuplication service.) If you are not making CDs or distributing digitally only (itunes?). You have no use for a ddp file. Although u may have use for the MEs tools and know how when it comes to downsampling. EDIT: I suppose it is possible for the ME to EQ specifically for the lower quality (not likely!) to produce better translation at the format? Also he may handle level peaks differently when downsampling. IF it were me, Id take the native hi res master and be about my business. Ive also been an audio engineer for years tho.","For going from 24 bit to 16 bit is relativity simple since it is evenly divisible, however you will still want to apply a dither to make up for the way the originally analog signal loses resolution. This allows simulating a wider set of distinct values than 16 bits would normally allow in exchange for some minimal noise. A great link about this was included by Takuya in the comments below. With 48khz sampling, you can accurately capture waveforms of up to 24khz frequency. There may be some weird harmonic issues that occur during the conversion, but they would be outside the human hearing range. It isn't truly a lossless experience since it isn't evenly divisible, but it shouldn't cause major issues either." 168731,"I'm just starting WoW for the first time...

You and your friend are playing a game: They alternate turns and pick one coin at a time, which they put in their pockets. Whoever picks the dime wins. You are trying to decide whether it is better to play first or second: Initially you think that if you pick the dime in your first draw, you immediately win, while if you opt to play second, your probability to pick the dime increases. Which of the two options is more favorable for you? We assume that you can’t see the coins before taking them out of the pouch and also that you can’t tell from the size which coin is which. My thought: Let's say we have $n$ coins in total. If I play first, I have probability of picking the dime: $\frac {1}{n}+\frac {1}{n-2}+\frac {1}{n-4}...$ while if I play second, I have $\frac {1}{n-1}+\frac {1}{n-3}+\frac {1}{n-5}...$. Clearly the second option gives a larger number. Is this correct? Thank you.",2022/02/01,"['https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/4371698', 'https://math.stackexchange.com', 'https://math.stackexchange.com/users/594462/']","The first essential point is that *the dime has no preference for position*, thus its Pr of being at *any* position is $\frac{1}{n}$ The second essential point is that we don't know whether $n$ is odd or even, and if it is odd, we get one extra try if we go first Thus it is always preferable to go first","Suppose we extend the game as follows. We start off the same where we draw coins one at a time, but we number the draws and mark down which coin was drawn on which numbered draw. Once we reach the dime, we record the winner as usual, but we also continue drawing the remaining coins and marking the draw number of each. In the end, we wind up with $n$ coins drawn, and the draw number for the dime is equiprobable among all $n$ draws. We mark the first player a winner if the dime was drawn in an odd-numbered draw, and we mark the second player the winner if the dime was drawn in an even numbered draw. We know that this will yield the same results. Next, all of the coins that were drawn on odd-numbered draws are distributed to the first player and all the coins that were drawn on even numbered draws are distributed to the second player. If the dime appears in the player's pile, we mark them as a winner again. Again, we know that this will yield the same results. Finally, we start over and mix up all the coins randomly and assign them into two piles. If $n$ is even, the two piles each have $\frac{n}{2}$ coins. If $n$ is odd, one pile has $\frac{n+1}{2}$ coins and the other has $\frac{n-1}{2}$ coins. We give one pile to one player and the other pile to the other. If the pile they are given contains a dime, we mark down the win. But, we continue and allow them to take turns drawing coins from their own pile. If one pile more coins than the other, the first draw must be from the bigger pile. We mark whichever player draws the dime as the winner. Again this yield the same results as the original game. We have just demonstrated different games, each with an injective set of outcomes. This demonstrates there exists a bijection between the sets of outcomes. Any probabilities of winning calculated for any of these three games applies to all three. The easiest is of course the last game where you just split up the piles evenly and whoever has the dime wins. I realize this was a lot of words, and it wasn't necessary to go through all of these steps. I explained it this way in hopes that it shows why it works. If $n$ is even, the first player wins half the time and second player wins half the time. If $n$ is odd, the first player wins $\dfrac{n+1}{2n}$ while the second player wins $\dfrac{n-1}{2n}$ of the time. Not knowing if $n$ is odd or even, there is a slight advantage in choosing to go first all the time, just in case $n$ is odd." 2331476,How do you list your commits along with their SHA1 values in git?,2010/02/25,"['https://Stackoverflow.com/questions/2331476', 'https://Stackoverflow.com', 'https://Stackoverflow.com/users/111674/']","Exactly what format do you want?

This may truly be a ""it depends"" question, in which case please feel free to down vote and remove. My specific context is a web app that we host ourselves, with bi-weekly ""releases"" (push to production). Also, we currently use Subversion, though there's a push to move to Git in the near future. One scenario I've heard is deploying a feature that is dependent upon a library with a known feature that hasn't been released yet, whether your own library, or a 3rd party's. Another is releasing portions of a feature as they are finished, but disabled until all the pieces are together in production. While both of these at first sounded good, I'm questioning the value of code living in production that is disabled, especially as a general practice. It seems like this could lead to unfinished features cluttering the code base, as well as leading to larger configuration files than are needed, just to provide means for disabling/enabling features. What, if any, are the benefits of deploying intentionally disabled code, and what concerns need to be addressed before we do this with any sort of frequency?

Your concerns regarding code clutter and increased configurations are valid but advocates of continuous delivery would argue that the alternatives (feature branches) are worse.","The primary basis for doing this I've seen is to separate code pushes from configuration pushes. It's easier to determine whether you have a bad release or bad configuration if you can separate them. You can push a release with incomplete feature X off by default, continue to push releases that can be rolled back without enabling it, then when you decide to turn it on, you can update your config which can also be rolled back if needed." 126705,"I'm following a course where the trainer recommends to identify all the vulnerabilities affecting a web application before trying to exploit them.

I render my templates with a little command-line utility that has the following option enabled ``` DEBUG => Template::Constants::DEBUG_UNDEF, ``` The syntax is `render var1 val1 var2 val2 ....` This is very convenient because the user gets prompts about values that need to be defined, for example ``` $ render file.tt undef error - var1 is undefined $ render file.tt var1 foo undef error - var2 is undefined $ render file.tt var1 foo var2 bar ... template renders correctly ``` For some (optional) values, templates provide defaults, for example: ``` [%- DEFAULT hostname = 0 %] ``` Then the template body would typically contain: ``` [% IF hostname %] hostname = [% hostname %][% ELSE %][% -- a comment, variable hostname not provided %][% END %] ``` How do I make the above idiom work for variables where `0` is a valid value? I want the following to happen: ``` render template.tt ``` Template renders: ``` -- this is a comment, variable enable_networking not provided ``` For ``` render template.tt enable_networking 0 ``` I want ``` enable_networking = 0 ``` The problem is differentiating between defined values and false values. I have tried using `-1` (instead of `0`) both in the `DEFAULT` block and in the `[% IF enable_networking == -1 %]` statement. However, the following `DEFAULT` block ``` [% DEFAULT enable_networking = -1 %] ``` will override value `0` specified on the command-line. (It sees a `enable_networking` is false and sets it to -1) Are there any easy work-arounds (some config variable maybe?)",2020/02/24,"['https://Stackoverflow.com/questions/60384568', 'https://Stackoverflow.com', 'https://Stackoverflow.com/users/12312873/']","To check if a variable is undefined or not you could check if its `size` method returns something greater than 0. Of course this case only aplies if the variable is not initialized or defined at all (`enable_networking = ''` has size = 1, the same with `enable_networking = 0`) To check if a variable is not false... well... first you have to describe wich type of value is false. In this case i will take size = 0 (or size doesn't exists) as undefined, -1 as false and everything else as true: ``` [% IF enable_networking.size and enable_networking != -1 %] enable_networking = [% enable_networking %] [% ELSE %] -- a comment, variable enable_networking not provided [% END %] ``` With the code above if you run ``` render template.tt enable_networking 0 ``` The output will be `enable_networking = 0` And if you run ``` render template.tt ``` The output will be `-- a comment, variable enable_networking not provided` even if you don't declare `[% DEFAULT enable_networking = -1 %]` **EDIT 1:** The `length` method is better suited for this job: ``` [% IF enable_networking.length and enable_networking != -1 %] enable_networking = [% enable_networking %] [% ELSE %] -- a comment, variable enable_networking not provided [% END %] ``` Using `length` instead of `size` also allows you to use `enable_networking = ''` as FALSE along with -1 **EDIT 2:** Ok, after the comments i found a workaround that do the trick: the `TRY` - `CATCH` directives... For optional variables that can have value of 0 the objective would be to `TRY` setting the variable value to itself, if the variable is defined the value will be assigned, otherwise we `CATCH` the undef error and set the default value. For any other type of variable we can use the `DEFAULT` directive: ``` [% DEFAULT hostname = 0 %] [% TRY %] [% enable_networking = enable_networking %] [% CATCH %] [% enable_networking = -1; %] [% END %] hostname = [% hostname %] [% IF enable_networking != -1 AND enable_networking.length %] enable_networking = [% enable_networking %][% ELSE %]-- variable enable_networking not provided[% END %] ``` With this new template if you run ``` $ render template.tt hostname = 0 -- variable enable_networking not provided $ render template.tt enable_networking """" hostname = 0 -- variable enable_networking not provided $ render template.tt hostname myhost enable_networking 0 hostname = myhost enable_networking = 0 ```","All scalar values in TT have a `.defined` vmethod. ``` [% IF hostname.defined %] hostname = [% hostname %][% ELSE %][% -- a comment, variable hostname not provided %][% END %] ``` This is discussed in [the manual](https://metacpan.org/pod/distribution/Template-Toolkit/lib/Template/Manual/VMethods.pod#defined)." 267534,"I asked this question before, [Here](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/264441/does-a-native-php-5-function-exist-that-does-the-following-in-1-line) however I think I presented the problem poorly, and got quite a few replies that may have been useful to someone but did not address the actual question and so I pose the question again.

I tried to balance it around Shadow, Divine Soul, Storm and the Abberant/Psionic Mind UA. (I realize that is probably over-tuned some) I'm hoping this isn't overly powerful though probably on the higher end of the spectrum. I'll be play testing it in about a month give or take a week. Design ------ One of the things I wanted in this subclass was an extended spell list as I feel, having played a sorcerer in Pathfinder 1e and DnD 5e, that the limited spells known combined with everyone being a spontaneous caster shoehorn Sorcerers a bit too much into glass cannons with no real versatility. I also wanted a unique feel and theme without stepping on the other subclasses' toes. The Subclass ------------ Umbra Spawn ----------- Level 1: Improved Dark Vision: * Dark Vision - 120 Feet This is right from Shadow Sorcery * Expanded Spell List: These spells are granted as you gain the appropriate level in this subclass to cast them. They are gained automatically and do not count towards spells known. You can see through magical darkness caused by any of these spells that you cast. ``` Spell Name Spell Level Class Level Arms of Hadar level 1 level 1 Darkness level 2 level 3 Hunger of Hadar level 3 level 5 Shadow of Moil level 4 level 7 Synaptic Static level 5 level 9 ``` I'm not too thrilled with Synaptic Static but couldn't find a better thematic spell from PHB or XtGE. I thought about giving Dimension Door at 9 but it made the wording clunky and I felt a linear progression made more sense. I also considered making these spells castable through Sorcery points a la Shadow Magic, though I left that out. Level 6: Far Touch: * You can cast spells with a range of touch up to a range of 30 feet. I'm unsure of how necessary this is, it might make level 6 too strong, though feels thematic. Umbra Tendril: * As a bonus action you can create a void tendril to push or pull yourself or another creature you can see 10 feet. If the creature is unwilling, it makes a strength save against your spell save DC. This ability has a range of 30 feet. I discussed this feature with the DM of my upcoming game, he's going to rule that a creature willing to be moved will trigger Attacks of Opportunity. So the question becomes how powerful is the versatility of this ability. Level 14: Into the Void: * As a reaction to being targeted by a creature you can see, you may spend 2 sorcery points, you are under the effect of blur until the start of your next turn. This does not require concentration. I originally had levels 6 and 14 switched, but I want the core of the class to be the tendril and not the blur. The downside being a lack of sorcery point dumps for 14 levels. Level 18: Umbra Incarnate: * As a bonus action you may spend 6 sorcery points to manifest the void for 1 minute. While under this effect you gain the following: + You have a Flying Speed equal to your movement speed. + You may use your void tendrils up to three times as a bonus action and when this ability is activated. If the target fails their save they take 2D6 force damage. + Magical Darkness is centered around you with a radius of 15 feet. Any number of creatures in range you designate when this ability is activated can see through this darkness. + You are immune to fear effects. Question -------- **Is this balanced as a Sorcerer subclass and is the wording and intent of each feature clear and in line with officially published materials?** I had the flavor of the class in mind while designing this and really wanted the expanded spell list. I am completely unsure of how the tendrils, especially at level 18, are balanced as they work a bit differently from published materials I am aware of.",2020/10/12,"['https://rpg.stackexchange.com/questions/176382', 'https://rpg.stackexchange.com', 'https://rpg.stackexchange.com/users/59619/']","Most of this looks fine, so I'll mainly focus on the outliers. **And boy-oh-boy is the level 18 ability an outlier.** That said, I do want to preface this by saying that stepping outside the bounds of balance is the best part of homebrew. This criticism shouldn't distract from the fact that you've got a fun subclass on your hands; it just needs a bit of tweaking. Umbral Incarnate is *significantly* more powerful than any other Sorcerer option, and probably any other ability in 5e. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I would be scared to put this ability on a BBEG, let alone a PC. As it stands, it will warp player choices across classes while simultaneously resulting in an unsatisfying gameplay pattern. Let's start from the top. * *Flying speed*: by itself, this is a perfectly sound choice. Flight is prevalent at higher levels and lends itself well to over-the-top, dynamic battles. No problems here. * *3x tentacle use + 2d6 force damage per tentacle*: This provides far too much battlefield control and damage. This effectively allows the user to emulate a Repelling Blast/Grasp of Hadar Warlock's entire Eldritch Blast rotation on a *bonus action*. Martial classes salivate at the idea of this much battlefield influence. + Thematically, necrotic damage would be a better fit for this ability. + **Recommendation**: I can sense that this is intended to amplify the satisfaction of using the tentacles, which I think is a good goal, as it's the most unique thing this class has to offer. This should require a full action. As it stands, it provides far too much utility and versatility to be balanced. * *Magical darkness penetrable by you and your allies*: very few creatures can see through magical darkness. To my knowledge, only devils and creatures with blindsight or truesight are capable of doing so. This means that the sorcerer and their party will be effectively under the effect of *Greater Invisibility* against *almost every creature in 5e*. All their attacks will have advantage, all attacks against them will be made at disadvantage, and they will be immune to any spells that require sight... *at any range* (as heavily obscured is distance-agnostic). With this effect alone, Umbra Incarnate obliterates this and *any* other similar ability in the game, bar none. + Compare this to the Draconic Bloodline's capstone ability: it inflicts the significantly weaker Frightened condition (disadvantage on attacks + movement penalization), **requires a save**, **requires Concentration**, ***is activated on an action***, only affects targets out to 60 feet, and provides *no* benefits to allies. + This effect has anti-synergy with the flight ability, which encourages movement, as the Sorcerer will be encouraged to stay bound to their party at all times. + **Recommendation**: this should just be regular magical darkness that only the Sorcerer can see through. Applying it to allies makes this stronger than just about any capstone ability in 5e. Additionally, this is too strong of an effect to be activated on a bonus action; make this an action instead. * *Frightened immunity*: there's enough going on here already. + **Recommendation**: remove this. Overall, there's just way too much stuff in this ability, *but it's not a bad idea*. Tone it down and you have a cool kit-amplification ability. 6th Level has too much packed into it. -------------------------------------- Either abilities are fine on their own, but I strongly prefer keeping Umbra Tentacle over Far Touch: Umbra Tentacle is a neat, gameplay defining tool, as it: * Requires no sorcery points to use. * Takes a bonus action, meaning it's almost always available, as Sorcerers rarely take bonus actions. I would clean up the verbiage to make it the source of the ability more clear (does it come from you or a point of your choosing?), but on its own I think this ability is a solid foundation to build upon. Far Touch, however, takes this ability over the top. Umbra Tentacle is similar in power to each other 6th Level ability, so there's no need to cram another ability in, especially something as powerful as a *cost-free* Distant Spell usage on every touch spell. Far Touch should be moved to 14th Level. Into the Void can go. -------------------------------------------------------------- As the ability to see through magical darkness is an integral part of this subclass, in most cases the Sorcerer will want to engage enemies from the cover of magical darkness. As such, attacks against them will already be made at disadvantage, so Into the Void will rarely be useful. Good news: this is the perfect spot for Far Touch. 1st Level is great! ------------------- 1st Level is thematically satisfying and directs the Sorcerer into choices that will reinforce the thematic of this subclass. No tweaks needed here.","Balanced yes, though some changes may make the subclass more distinct ===================================================================== Sorcerer Homebrews are difficult to balance, because you always have to think about the sorcery point cost of abilities. What I've given below are estimates of what I think would be balanced, but the best way to be sure of what does and does not work is to playtest. *Extended Darkvision* - Useful, probably letting you see most hidden creature before they see you, but not overpowered. *Expanded Spell list* - My only worry about giving the sorcerer extra spells would be their interaction with Metamagic, however I don't believe any of these would be problematic. If you don't like Synaptic Static, Maybe consider Enervation (Though its interaction with Metamagic may be strange, specifically Twinned Spell) or Negative Energy Flood. *Far Touch* - This is basically giving the player the Distant Spell Metamagic but removing the Sorcerer point cost. Useful, but might be unnecessarily overlapping. *Umbra Tentacle* - This is interesting, and sorcerers don't often get to make use of there bonus action so it is a nice addition, however I think the two level 6 abilities might be best if combined together, as below: > > **Umbra Tentacle** - As a bonus action, you summon a spectral milky black tentacle within 30 feet of yourself. The tentacle has an AC of 10 + your Charisma Modifier, and hit points equal to 2 times your sorcerer level. The tentacle can then target a creature within 5 feet of it and force them to make a strength saving throw. On a failure, the creature is pushed 10 feet from the tentacle. On subsequent turns you can move the tentacle up to 20 feet and attempt the push again as a bonus action. You are also able to cast spells with a range of touch on creatures you can see as though you were in the tentacle's space. The tentacle disappears after one minute or if you end your turn more than 50 feet from the tentacle. You are unable to summon the tentacle again until after a long rest or if you spend 2 sorcery points. > > > This changes the tentacle to be something you need to control its location, instead of these 2 abilities being able to influence anything on the battlefield in range. I think by making the tentacle have a location and having to move it around the battlefield makes the pull unnecessary, and the ability should be fine with just a push. I tried to make this ability comparable to other similar abilities: * the Shadow Sorcerers *Hound of Ill Omen* ability is comparable, though it is able to deal damage, which I think makes it strong enough to justify the extra sorcery point cost compared to this ability. * The Trickery Domain Cleric has its *Channel Divinity: Invoke Duplicity*, which is very similar; the main difference being the Cleric can cast any spell, not just touch from the target space, and the Umbra tentacle also has its push and can be hit. * EDIT: the UA Lurker in the Deep Warlock subclass has a similar ability as the tendril, Grasp of the Deep. This is a damaging attack more than a utility one like yours, however it still might be worth taking into consideration for any future iterations of this class you try. Overall this may still feel a bit underwhelming, maybe adding some damage to the tentacles push, and increasing the Sorcery point cost to 3 could buff this up, but you would have to play test to confirm. *Into the Void* - I'm not sure if 2 sorcery points is the correct cost for this ability. Blur itself is a second level spell, and it lasts for a full minute, though this ability is able to be used as a reaction. My idea using my alternative Umbra Tentacle: > > **Void Swap** - as a reaction to being targeted by an attack from a creature you can see, you spend 1 sorcery point swap your position with your Umbra Tentacle. The attack has disadvantage on the tentacle, as the tendril's squirms in place after the transfer. > > > Since you wanted the tendril to be the core of the class, this would give the level 14 ability a further tie to the tendril, while still having a similar effect to the original ability. Again, Playtest to figure out the correct number of sorcery points here, I decreased the cost as it would only apply to a single attack instead of until the start of your next turn, and you are likely to use this ability frequently when targeted. *Umbra Incarnate* - I think this is excellent! Really matches the flavour of the class, gives a buff to the Tendril (and works with my alternative), and seems powerful enough to justify being a level 18 ability. Nicely done. Only thing to address is Sorcery Point cost: at level 18 you can use this ability 3 times before a long rest, which seems good to me, but you would need to playtest to be sure. **EDIT** I missed that you now get to use your tentacle three times as a bonus action. Tha's too much. Make it still one time and overall the ability is nice. Summary: Playtest! ------------------ The only way to know if this class is working is to playtest over and over and over again. Is the Spell List sensible? Does the Tendril have too high of a cost? Does the reaction drain spell points too quickly? You won't know until you see it in action." 26739981,"I'm new to Cake php.

I would suggest you try: ``` a = ones(1, 100000); ``` Since that creates a vector rather than a matrix.","Arguments Matter ================ Calling Matlab's `ones()` or `zeros()` or `magic()` with a single argument `n`, creates a *square* matrix with size `n-by-n`: ```matlab >> a = ones(5) a = 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 ``` Calling the same functions with 2 arguments `(r, c)` instead creates a matrix of size `r-by-c`: ```matlab >> a = ones(2, 5) a = 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 ``` This is all well documented in [Matlab's documentation](http://www.mathworks.de/help/matlab/ref/zeros.html). Size Matters Too ================ Doubles ------- Having said this, when you do `a = zeros(1e6)` you are creating a square matrix of size `1e6 * 1e6 = 1e12`. Since these are doubles the total allocated size would be `8 * 1e12 Bytes` which is circa `(8 * 1e12) / 1024^3 = 7450.6GB`. Do you have this much RAM on your machine? Compare this with `a = zeros(1, 1e6)` which creates a column-vector of size `1 * 1e6 = 1e6`, for a total allocated size of `(8 * 1e6) / 1024^3 = 7.63MB`. Logicals -------- Logical values, on the other hand are boolean values, which can be set to either `0` or `1` representing `False` or `True`. With this in mind, you can allocate matrices of logicals using either [`false()`](http://www.mathworks.de/help/matlab/ref/false.html) or [`true()`](http://www.mathworks.de/help/matlab/ref/true.html). Here the same single-argument rule applies, hence `a = false(1e6)` creates a square matrix of size `1e6 * 1e6 = 1e12`. Matlab today, as many other programming languages, stores bit values, such as booleans, into single Bytes. Even though there is a clear cost in terms of memory usage, such a mechanism provides significant performance improvements. This is because it is [accessing single bits is a slow operation](http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/22439-logical-array-memory-allocation). The total allocated size of our `a = false(1e6)` matrix would therefore be `1e12 Bytes` which is circa `1e12 / 1024^3 = 931.32GB`." 107330,"We have an environment where we have blasted a prepped Windows image out to multiple machines.

The different expression levels of aquaporins in different cell types result in differences in the permeability. And yes, the tissue fluid has to be isotonic to the cell interior. The water balance in the body is therefore highly regulated. If not enough water is available, the blood osmolarity (ratio between solubles and water) increases. This is sensed in the hypothalamus (an area in the brain which is a major player in hormone regulation) and results in production of the hormone vasopressin. This will not only increase your thirst (and therefore add more water to the system) but also regulate aquaporin expression, improving reabsorbtion of water in the kidney ([nicely shown here](https://opentextbc.ca/anatomyandphysiology/chapter/26-2-water-balance/), [actual science here](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4714093/)).

If you dropped that, the phenomenon would disappear, for the following reason. **Theorem.** For any consistent theory $T$ extending ZF, there are two models of $T$ with the same ordinals, such that they are not isomorphic by any isomorphism fixing the ordinals. **Proof.** Let $M$ be any countable computably saturated model of $T$. It follows that the natural numbers of the model $\omega^M$ are nonstandard and have order type $\omega+\Z\cdot\Q$. The ordinals of $M$ have type $\Ord^M$, which is the same as $\omega^M\cdot\Ord^M$, by an internal isomorphism, and this has order type $(\omega+\Z\cdot\Q)\cdot\Ord^M$. It follows that there is an order-automorphism $\pi:\Ord^M\cong\Ord^M$ that shifts the ordinals within the nonstandard parts of these blocks of $\omega^M$ by one (or one can make more complicated automorphisms). That is, we shift all the $\Z$-chains by one. Since $\Ord^M\subset M$, we may extend $\pi$ to an isomorphism $\pi:M\cong N$ to some model $N$, where $M$ and $N$ have exactly the same ordinals, but where many ordinals $\alpha$ that are even in $M$ are odd in $N$ and vice versa (this will be true exactly for the ordinals that are a nonstandard natural number successor of the largest limit ordinal below them). Thus, $M$ and $N$ have exactly the same ordinals, but are not isomorphic by any isomorphism fixing those ordinals. **QED** In particular, if ZFC is consistent, then there can be models of ZFC+V=L that have exactly the same ordinals, but think different things are true of those ordinals." 190902,"Let's say that a (recursively axiomatizable) set theory $T$ extending ZF is ""ordinal-categorical"" if, whenever $M$ and $N$ are standard models of $T$ sharing the same ordinals, one has $M = N$.

See Taranovsky's answer below for a proposed striking generalization of Schultzenberg's construction.","For every c.e theory $T$ extending KP (Kripke-Platek) with a model $M$ of height $α<ω\_1$, the intersection of all such $M$ is a subset of $L\_{α^{+,\mathrm{CK}}}$. This holds since the existence of such $M$ is $Σ^1\_1(α)$. Every model $\text{ZF}+0^\#$ (or just $\text{KP}+0^\#$) of height $α$ includes a set outside of $L\_{α^{+,\mathrm{CK}}}$, so such theories do not have unique models for countable $α$. The interplay of uniqueness and non-uniqueness — and the conditions to guarantee uniqueness — is an important theme in inner model theory. Theories such as $\text{ACA}\_0$ or the primitive recursive set theory have unique minimal $ω$-models, but then for c.e. theories extending $\text{ATR}\_0$, the intersection of all $ω$-models (if there are any) equals HYP. (HYP is the set of hyperarithmetic sets; it corresponds to $L\_{ω\_1^{\mathrm{CK}}}$, the minimal transitive model of KPω.) With $0^\#$, uniqueness of minimal transitive models fails. And going further, $L[M\_1^\#]$ does not satisfy $V=HOD$: Despite being an inner model, $L[M\_1^\#]$ lacks sufficient closure to iterate and identify the true $M\_1^\#$ (the sharp for a Woodin cardinal). Back to the question, for every ordinal-categorical (as defined in the question) c.e. theory $T$, all transitive models are constructible, and for a model $M⊨T$ of possibly uncountable height $α$, $M⊂L\_{α^{+,\mathrm{CK}}}$ (uncountable $α$ can handled using countable elementary submodels). Thus, if $On^M$ is a cardinal (and $T⊢\text{KP}$), then $M ⊨ V=L$. Surprisingly, however, we have the following, which adapts Farmer Schlutzenberg's answer to my recent question [Minimum transitive models and V=L](https://mathoverflow.net/questions/438081/minimum-transitive-models-and-v-l?noredirect=1&lq=1) (the discussions in the two questions complement each other). **Theorem:** There are ordinal-categorical c.e. theories extending $\text{ZFC} + V≠L$ that have arbitrarily large transitive models (assuming ZFC has arbitrarily large transitive models). **Proof:** To get such models, we use existence of (non-trivial) $≤κ$-closed forcings with (as viewed from the generic extension) unique generics. Ordinarily, we might have $V[G]=V[G']$ (which interferes with defining our $G$ in $V[G]$), but we can get unique generics by encoding $G$ into choices for subsequent rounds of forcing and iterating $ω$ times (with full support). Next, for every ordinal $κ$ (including uncountable $κ$), the minimum transitive model $M$ of ZFC of height $>κ$ is pointwise definable with ordinals $<κ$ as constants. Fix a formula picking a $κ$ (as above) in $M$, and a parameter-free definable forcing as above. Using the pointwise definability of $M$ (with ordinals $<κ$ as constants) and the $≤κ$-closure, every dense open set has a parameter-free definable (in $M$) dense open subset. Thus, we can fix a choice of the generic $G$ using a computable schema as in the linked answer. Specifically, enumerate formulas; if a formula $φ\_0$ defines a dense open set here, then pick its first element (under some fixed parameter-free definable well-ordering), and then repeat with $φ\_1, φ\_2, ...$, picking the first element compatible with the previous ones. Our theory will be $\text{ZFC} + V=M[G]$ with $M$ and $G$ as above. A remaining open question is whether there is an ordinal-categorical theory $\text{ZFC} + A + V≠L$ (with a transitive model) where $A$ is a single statement. A model of such a theory cannot be obtained by set forcing (unlike a schema, a statement in the generic extension would be forced by some condition in the poset), and so may require new (perhaps, still forcing-like) construction methods." 33750465,"I'm working on an app's user interface, and I'm doing it programmatically.

This way, the parent view ""owns"" the label, and it takes care of cleaning up the label when the parent view goes off screen. ``` @interface MasterViewController () @property (nonatomic,weak) UILabel * theLabel; @end @implementation MasterViewController - (void)viewDidLoad { [super viewDidLoad]; UILabel* myLabel = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 100, 100)]; [self.view addSubview:myLabel]; self.theLabel = myLabel; } ```" 51943181,"Hey guys so i got this dummy data: ``` 115,IROM,1 125,FOLCOM,1 135,SE,1 111,ATLUZ,1 121,ATLUZ,2 121,ATLUZ,2 142,ATLUZ,2 142,ATLUZ,2 144,BLIZZARC,1 166,STEAD,3 166,STEAD,3 166,STEAD,3 168,BANDOI,1 179,FOX,1 199,C4,2 199,C4,2 ``` Desired output: ``` IROM,1 FOLCOM,1 SE,1 ATLUZ,3 BLIZZARC,1 STEAD,1 BANDOI,1 FOX,1 C4,1 ``` which comes from counting the distinct game id (the 115,125,etc). so for example the ``` 111,ATLUZ,1 121,ATLUZ,2 121,ATLUZ,2 142,ATLUZ,2 142,ATLUZ,2 ``` Will be ``` ATLUZ,3 ``` Since it have 3 distinct game id I tried using ``` cut -d',' -f 2 game.csv|uniq -c ``` Where i got the following output ``` 1 IROM 1 FOLCOM 1 SE 5 ATLUZ 1 BLIZZARC COMP 3 STEAD 1 BANDOI 1 FOX 2 C4 ``` How do i fix this ? using bash ?",2018/08/21,"['https://Stackoverflow.com/questions/51943181', 'https://Stackoverflow.com', 'https://Stackoverflow.com/users/3646742/']","Before executing the `cut` command, do a `uniq`.

The app allows the user to upload a spreadsheet, which we will process as a background job. Each of these user uploads creates a new table to store the spreadsheet data, so the number of tables in my SQL Server 2000 database will grow quickly - thousands of tables in the near term. I'm worried that this might not be something that SQL Server is optimized for. It would be easiest to leave this mechanism as-is, but I don't want to leave a time-bomb that is going to blow up later. Better to fix it now if it needs fixing (the obvious alternative is one large table with a key associating records with user batches). Is this architecture likely to create a performance problem as the number of tables grows?

The following is the result of me openly speculating what an ""official"" finitist response would be, based on grounds of computability. The short version is this: **(a)** It depends on what you mean by a 'number', but there's a reasonable approach which makes it reasonable to talk about finitistic approaches to real numbers; **(b)** What you can do finitisitically with numbers, real, rational, or otherwise, depends on how you represent those numbers. 1. **What is a number?** Is −1 a number? Is sqrt(2) a number? Is *i* = sqrt(−1) a number? What about quaternions? --- I'm going to completely ignore this question and suggest a pragmatic, formalist approach: a ""number"" is an element of a ""number system""; and a ""number system"" is a collection of expressions which you can transform or describe properties of in some given ways (*i.e.* certain given arithmetic operations) and test certain properties (*e.g.* tests for equality, ordering, *etc.*) These expressions don't have to have a meaningful interpretation in terms of quantities or magnitudes as far as I'm concerned; *you* get to choose which operations/tests you care about. A finitist would demand that any operation or property be described by an algorithm which provably terminates. That is, it isn't sufficient to prove existence or universality *a la* classical logic; existence proofs must be finite constructions --- of a ""number"", that is a representation in some ""number system"" --- and univserality must be shown by a computable test. 2. **Representation of numbers:** How we represent the numbers matters. A finitist should have no qualms about rational numbers: ratios which ultimately boil down to ordered pairs. Despite this, the decimal expansions of these numbers may be infinitely long: 1/3 = 0.33333... what's going on here? Well, the issue is that we have two representations for the same number, one of which is finite in length (and allows us to perform computations) and another which is not finite in length. However, the decimal expansion can be easily expressed as a function: for all *k*, the *k*th decimal place after the point is '3'; so you can still characterize it precisely in terms of a finite rule. What's important is that there exists **some** finite way to express the number. But the way in which we choose to *define* the number (as a part of system or numbers, using some way of expressing numbers) will affect what we can do with it... there is now a question about what operations we can perform. --- For rationals-as-ratios, we can add/subtract, multiply/divide, and test order/equality. So this representation is a very good one for rationals. --- For rationals-as-decimal-expansions, we can still add/subtract and multiply/divide, by defining a new digit-function which describes how to compute the result from the decimal expansions; these will be messier than the representations as ratios. Order comparisons are still possible for *distinct* rationals; but you cannot test equality for arbitrary decimal-expansion representations, because you cannot necessarily verify that all decimal places of the difference |*a*−*b*| are 0. The best you can do in general is testing ""equality up to precision ε"", wherein you show that |*a*−*b*| < ε, for some desired precision ε. This is a number system which informally we may say has certain amount of ""vagueness""; but it is in principle completely specified --- there's nothing wrong with this in principle. It's just a matter of how you wish to define your system of arithmetic. 3. **What representation of reals?** Obviously, because there are uncountably many real numbers, you cannot represent all real numbers even if you *aren't* a finitist. But we can still express some of them. The same is true if you're a finitist: you just don't have access to as many, and/or you're restricted in what you can do with them, according to what your representation can handle. --- Algebraic irrational numbers such as sqrt(2) can be expressed simply like that: ""sqrt(2)"". There's nothing wrong with the expressions ""sqrt(2) − 1"" or ""[1 + sqrt(5)]/2"" --- they express quantities perfectly well. You can perform arithmetic operations on them perfectly well; and you can also perform ordering/equality tests by transforming them into a normal form of the type ""[sum of integers and roots of integers]/[positive integer]""; if the difference of two quantities is zero, the normal form of the difference will just end up being '0'. For order comparisons, we can compute enough decimal places of each term in the sum to determine whether the result is positive or negative, a process which is guaranteed to terminate. --- Numbers such as π and e can be represented by decimal expansions, and computed with in this form, as with the rational numbers. The decimal expansions can be gotten from classical equalities (*e.g.* ""infinite"" series, except computing only *partial* sums; a number such as e may be expressed by some finite representation of such an 'exact' formula, together with a computable function which describes how many terms of the series are required to get a correct evaluation of the first *k* decimal places.) Of course, what you can do finitistically with these representations is limited in the same way as described above with the rationals; specifically, you cannot always test equality.","There is a fragment of mathematics that is given by a set of axioms known as the [Peano axioms](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peano_axioms). Using these rules you can carry out a vast amount of mathematics relating to natural numbers. For example you can prove lots of theorems in number theory using these axioms. The Peano axioms make no reference to sets at all, whether finite or infinite. The only things that exist in this theory are naturals. You can't even form the set of all integers. You can only talk about the naturals themselves. So a vast amount of mathematics would work absolutely fine. Even though Peano's axioms are about naturals, you can already use them to talk about finite sets. The idea is that any finite set could be encoded as a finite sequence of symbols which in turn could be represented as naturals using [Godel numbering](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%B6del_numbering). So questions like ""is this set a subset of that one?"" could be turned into purely arithmetical statements about Godel numbers. So I'm pretty sure that declaring that there is no infinite set would make little difference to people working within the system defined by Peano's axioms. We'd still have all of the natural numbers to work with, we just wouldn't be able to assemble them into a single entity, the set of all natural numbers. On the other hand, there are theorems that make essential use of an infinite set. Like [Goodstein's theorem](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goodstein%27s_theorem). Without infinite sets (or a substitute of some sort) it would be impossible to prove this result. So the overall result would be, I think, that you could still do lots of mathematics fine. The mathematics you could do wouldn't be all that weird. And you'd simply be depriving yourself of a useful proof technique. By the way, you'd still be able to say many things about real numbers. A real number can be thought of as a Cauchy sequence. A [Cauchy sequence](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cauchy_sequence) is a certain type of sequence of rational numbers. So many statements about real numbers, when unpacked, are really statements about rational, and hence naturals, but in disguise. Update: Uncovering precisely what parts of mathematics you need in order to prove things is a field known as [reverse mathematics](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverse_mathematics). Hilbert, and others mathematicians, were interested in trying to prove as much mathematics as possible using finite methods. Although it was ultimately shown that you can't carry out all mathematics using finite methods, it's surprising how much you can. [Here](http://www.andrew.cmu.edu/user/avigad/Papers/elementary.pdf)'s a paper that talks about a system called EA which has no infinite sets. Amazingly we can use results from [analytic number theory](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analytic_number_theory) in EA. This is because propositions about analytic functions can be interpreted as statements about natural numbers." 501,"An extreme form of constructivism is called *finitisim*.

Specifically, Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory with the Axiom of Infinity replaced by its negation (informally, ""there is no infinite set"") is equivalent to first-order Peano Arithmetic. Call this system *finite ZF*, the theory of hereditarily finite sets. Then under the Goedel arithmetic encoding of finite sets, Peano Arithmetic can prove all the theorems of Finite ZF, and under any of the standard constructions of integers from finite sets, Finite ZF proves all the theorems of Peano Arithmetic.

Using these rules you can carry out a vast amount of mathematics relating to natural numbers. For example you can prove lots of theorems in number theory using these axioms. The Peano axioms make no reference to sets at all, whether finite or infinite. The only things that exist in this theory are naturals. You can't even form the set of all integers. You can only talk about the naturals themselves. So a vast amount of mathematics would work absolutely fine. Even though Peano's axioms are about naturals, you can already use them to talk about finite sets. The idea is that any finite set could be encoded as a finite sequence of symbols which in turn could be represented as naturals using [Godel numbering](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%B6del_numbering). So questions like ""is this set a subset of that one?"" could be turned into purely arithmetical statements about Godel numbers. So I'm pretty sure that declaring that there is no infinite set would make little difference to people working within the system defined by Peano's axioms. We'd still have all of the natural numbers to work with, we just wouldn't be able to assemble them into a single entity, the set of all natural numbers. On the other hand, there are theorems that make essential use of an infinite set. Like [Goodstein's theorem](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goodstein%27s_theorem). Without infinite sets (or a substitute of some sort) it would be impossible to prove this result. So the overall result would be, I think, that you could still do lots of mathematics fine. The mathematics you could do wouldn't be all that weird. And you'd simply be depriving yourself of a useful proof technique. By the way, you'd still be able to say many things about real numbers. A real number can be thought of as a Cauchy sequence. A [Cauchy sequence](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cauchy_sequence) is a certain type of sequence of rational numbers. So many statements about real numbers, when unpacked, are really statements about rational, and hence naturals, but in disguise. Update: Uncovering precisely what parts of mathematics you need in order to prove things is a field known as [reverse mathematics](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverse_mathematics). Hilbert, and others mathematicians, were interested in trying to prove as much mathematics as possible using finite methods. Although it was ultimately shown that you can't carry out all mathematics using finite methods, it's surprising how much you can.

The following is the result of me openly speculating what an ""official"" finitist response would be, based on grounds of computability. The short version is this: **(a)** It depends on what you mean by a 'number', but there's a reasonable approach which makes it reasonable to talk about finitistic approaches to real numbers; **(b)** What you can do finitisitically with numbers, real, rational, or otherwise, depends on how you represent those numbers. 1. **What is a number?** Is −1 a number? Is sqrt(2) a number? Is *i* = sqrt(−1) a number? What about quaternions? --- I'm going to completely ignore this question and suggest a pragmatic, formalist approach: a ""number"" is an element of a ""number system""; and a ""number system"" is a collection of expressions which you can transform or describe properties of in some given ways (*i.e.* certain given arithmetic operations) and test certain properties (*e.g.* tests for equality, ordering, *etc.*) These expressions don't have to have a meaningful interpretation in terms of quantities or magnitudes as far as I'm concerned; *you* get to choose which operations/tests you care about. A finitist would demand that any operation or property be described by an algorithm which provably terminates. That is, it isn't sufficient to prove existence or universality *a la* classical logic; existence proofs must be finite constructions --- of a ""number"", that is a representation in some ""number system"" --- and univserality must be shown by a computable test. 2. **Representation of numbers:** How we represent the numbers matters. A finitist should have no qualms about rational numbers: ratios which ultimately boil down to ordered pairs. Despite this, the decimal expansions of these numbers may be infinitely long: 1/3 = 0.33333... what's going on here? Well, the issue is that we have two representations for the same number, one of which is finite in length (and allows us to perform computations) and another which is not finite in length. However, the decimal expansion can be easily expressed as a function: for all *k*, the *k*th decimal place after the point is '3'; so you can still characterize it precisely in terms of a finite rule. What's important is that there exists **some** finite way to express the number. But the way in which we choose to *define* the number (as a part of system or numbers, using some way of expressing numbers) will affect what we can do with it... there is now a question about what operations we can perform. --- For rationals-as-ratios, we can add/subtract, multiply/divide, and test order/equality. So this representation is a very good one for rationals. --- For rationals-as-decimal-expansions, we can still add/subtract and multiply/divide, by defining a new digit-function which describes how to compute the result from the decimal expansions; these will be messier than the representations as ratios. Order comparisons are still possible for *distinct* rationals; but you cannot test equality for arbitrary decimal-expansion representations, because you cannot necessarily verify that all decimal places of the difference |*a*−*b*| are 0. The best you can do in general is testing ""equality up to precision ε"", wherein you show that |*a*−*b*| < ε, for some desired precision ε. This is a number system which informally we may say has certain amount of ""vagueness""; but it is in principle completely specified --- there's nothing wrong with this in principle. It's just a matter of how you wish to define your system of arithmetic. 3. **What representation of reals?** Obviously, because there are uncountably many real numbers, you cannot represent all real numbers even if you *aren't* a finitist. But we can still express some of them. The same is true if you're a finitist: you just don't have access to as many, and/or you're restricted in what you can do with them, according to what your representation can handle. --- Algebraic irrational numbers such as sqrt(2) can be expressed simply like that: ""sqrt(2)"". There's nothing wrong with the expressions ""sqrt(2) − 1"" or ""[1 + sqrt(5)]/2"" --- they express quantities perfectly well. You can perform arithmetic operations on them perfectly well; and you can also perform ordering/equality tests by transforming them into a normal form of the type ""[sum of integers and roots of integers]/[positive integer]""; if the difference of two quantities is zero, the normal form of the difference will just end up being '0'. For order comparisons, we can compute enough decimal places of each term in the sum to determine whether the result is positive or negative, a process which is guaranteed to terminate. --- Numbers such as π and e can be represented by decimal expansions, and computed with in this form, as with the rational numbers. The decimal expansions can be gotten from classical equalities (*e.g.* ""infinite"" series, except computing only *partial* sums; a number such as e may be expressed by some finite representation of such an 'exact' formula, together with a computable function which describes how many terms of the series are required to get a correct evaluation of the first *k* decimal places.)

For example, there are finitistic proofs that if any $\Pi^0\_2$ sentence about the natural numbers is provable in the infinitary system $\text{WKL}\_0$ of second order arithmetic, that sentence is also provable in the finitistic system $\text{PRA}$ of primitive-recursive arithmetic. Many consistency results are proven finitistically. For example, there is a finitistic proof that if ZF set theory without the axiom of choice is consistent, then ZFC set theory with the axiom of choice is also consistent. This proof studies infinitary systems of set theory, but the objects actually handled are finite formal proofs rather than infinite sets." 87839,I have this image.I want to crop just triangle not its white background for logo im creating.How can i do it in illustrator or photoshop?[![enter image description here](https://i.stack.imgur.com/gLx3w.jpg)](https://i.stack.imgur.com/gLx3w.jpg),2017/04/01,"['https://graphicdesign.stackexchange.com/questions/87839', 'https://graphicdesign.stackexchange.com', 'https://graphicdesign.stackexchange.com/users/70543/']","If you want my opinion why your design doesn't work so well, I think it's because more of the contents lie outside the natural circle shape made by the original design - especially that bold ""GAYPRIL"" text.

Nevertheless I’m posting it here in the hope that it might by useful, both for others and for the OP in the more general case. I’m adressing the first version of the Gaypril logo.* There are few hard and fast rules in design, if any, and to my knowledge none that hasn't been successfully broken by designers. So, if the question is “How to make my logo better?”, then I’d have to ask back: “Well, what do you want to achieve? What means do you want to employ?” Leading to a back and forth exchange that quickly starts to feel like working with a client. However, if the question is: “Here’s the model logo whose effect I tried to emulate. Here’s my own logo attempt, where, as far as I can see, I did everything like in the model. Why is it still not working?” That’s easier to answer, because I can point to the features of the Canada Road Trip logo and explain why these make the logo “work.” And I can explain how those features are in fact *not* present in the Gaypril logo. The Gaypril logo could employ very different means to achieve visual cohesion. **Nothing that I’m presenting here is in any way mandatory! I’m discussing the options realised in the Canada Road Trip logo that you took as your model. There are also numerous other options.** Because that’s what this is about: visual cohesion. Or in other words: composition. In design, you have to establish the rules by which your design works. I recently wrote in another context that design is about creating problems for yourself and then solving them. It’s in some ways like solving a puzzle, except that while solving you also invent the rules by which the puzzle has to be solved. That makes it actually harder! The impression of boredom doesn't generally come from a lack of “interesting” elements. Rather it stems more often than not from the fact that those element are put together in a manner that appears to the eye as arbitrary. Interest stems from the expectation of surprise, yes, but randomness isn't surprising. To take an extreme example: No two white noise patterns are exactly the same. And still nobody would look at them with any expectation to see an interesting placement of white or black pixels. If you want your work to be interesting you have to compose it in a way that the elements fit together meaningfully and provide a sense of unity in an interesting way. This is harder to do the more heterogeneous the elements are that you want to compose. This is why beginners are often advised to keep it simple. Please note that I’m not trying to discourage you! Or making the task seem exceptionally hard. On the contrary, I think you are on a good way and noticing that something’s not working is the first step towards improvement. The rest comes with practise and experience. I should also point out that I don’t expect that my analysis of the Canada Road Trip is what its designer consciously had in mind, at least not everything. Many decisions in design are made intuitively. I’ll come back to that at the end. Shape ----- [![](https://i.stack.imgur.com/M5l9O.png)](https://i.stack.imgur.com/M5l9O.png) This logo has a clear circular form. Note how the mountains at the top protude. This is, because we perceive pictorial elements like these as a unity: The top line of the mountains (without the sunrise) are perceived as continuing the line of the circle. But since we perceive the mountains as unity, our eyes average their height. If the mountains where placed more towards the centre of the circle, they would appear as too low. Note also how the “C” of “Canada” supports and continues the circle line. It, too, sticks out and has to, for the very same reason. The same is true, though to a lesser extent, for the letters “da”. In short, the form of the logo unambiguously evokes a circle and has little to counter that notion. The only element effectively going beyond the circular shape is the sunrise behind the mountains. But its lines carry much less visual emphasis, especially since the lines of the mountains are so much more dominant. And *because the logo is generally well composed* the slight disturbance of the circular shape appears as intentional and meaningful: It’s a well placed accent, so to say, the sunrise behind the logo itself. [![enter image description here](https://i.stack.imgur.com/MLD9A.png)](https://i.stack.imgur.com/MLD9A.png) Here the circle is fully supported only by the text at the bottom, which, in addition, is de-emphasized with a comparatively thin and wide-spaced font. The sun at the top has much more emphasis. Its vaguely star shaped at its upper outline (the rays) and the half circle of the sun doesn’t support the circle shape of the logo itself, but competes with it. In effect, the sun doesn’t just protude, it counters and escapes from the attempted circularity. The same, more importantly, goes for “Gaypril”: It clearly stands out as the most important visual feature. But not only does it not support the circle, and not only does it protude, it introduces a shape of its own: a parallelogram slightly warped to a wave form. Nothing of these are a “problem” per se. You *can* have a counter shape in rhythmical contrast to the main shape. You *can* have elements “escaping” from the structure you are trying to create. You are creating your own rules and you are breaking your own rules. > > Breaking the rules is good. **But** before you can break the rules, you have to establish the rules. > > > Here, the logo doesn’t successfully establish the circle. Grey Values and negative space ------------------------------ [![enter image description here](https://i.stack.imgur.com/ixGsB.png)](https://i.stack.imgur.com/ixGsB.png) Look at the grey values. (I hope “grey values” is the correct English word.) The average of black and white in the various elements is evenly distributed. If I added more blur, the logo would eventually become evenly grey. Only the bear stands out as a blacker area. As does, to a lesser extend, the mountain at the top, thus acting as a counter weight to the bear. White space between the elements is roughly evenly distributed. Meaning: White space is neutral and not intended as a dominant element of the composition. There are works where white space (better dubbed “negative space”, then) and its shape is just as much important as the foreground elements itself, for instance in traditional Japanese woodcut printing. This is not one of those works. [![enter image description here](https://i.stack.imgur.com/QSkws.png)](https://i.stack.imgur.com/QSkws.png) As you can see, all the weight is at the top, with “Gaypril” having the most weight by a large margin and the sun coming second. Note in particular how little weight the bottom text in a half circle has. This contributes largely to the logo not establishing its intended circle shape. I have a gut feeling that maybe you intuitively were aiming for this: A circle with the upper half being darker and the lower half lighter. If that’s the case, then it’s a good instinct. If the logo were clearer, were successful in establishing the circular shape, if it would give the overall impression of being thoroughly composed, then this could work very well. As it stands, there’s too much visual noise for this to take effect. Repeating Distances ------------------- [![enter image description here](https://i.stack.imgur.com/WEGRb.png)](https://i.stack.imgur.com/WEGRb.png) To some degree, this is an elaboration on white space, but with a different twist. The distance between various elements is *roughly* equal, in some cases very roughly. But that’s alright. The eye as little for comparison. If there were mostly straight lines, then more precision might have been necessary. Note how the designer tilted the bear in order to have its back and front paw in equal distance to the circle: [![enter image description here](https://i.stack.imgur.com/5LZCz.png)](https://i.stack.imgur.com/5LZCz.png) (The dotted line is the line through the circle’s centre, orthogonal to the baseline of “Canada Road Trip”.) Often you have to cheat a little. And you may! What matters is the naked eye of the spectator, not what you can measure with a ruler. It’s a judgement call with how much you can get away. Here, if you draw a line from the top of the mountain through the centre of circle, then the bear is *roughly* orthogonal to it. Maybe that contributes to the bear’s tilt looking good. Maybe it even establishes a secondary axis. I honestly don’t now. This is a matter of interpretation. [![enter image description here](https://i.stack.imgur.com/GC7qw.png)](https://i.stack.imgur.com/GC7qw.png) Here the various distances differ widely. Why am I measuring the radial distance? And not, for instance along the tilted vertical axis and perpendicular to it? Because of the comparison to the Canada logo, which works as a circle. Here it’s actually unclear, which leads to my second iteration over shape: Shape, the second ----------------- [![enter image description here](https://i.stack.imgur.com/RHeRb.png)](https://i.stack.imgur.com/RHeRb.png) The Gaypril logo hints at a rectangular shape inside the attempted circle. Again I have a gut feeling that this might have been what you wanted on an intuitive level. And, again, a decision like that could very well work, if it were actually both clear by itself and not countered by conflicting visual clues. Proportions ----------- [![enter image description here](https://i.stack.imgur.com/BJOX3.png)](https://i.stack.imgur.com/BJOX3.png) There’s a rhythm to the Canada logo: The heights measured a long the baseline of “Canada Road Trip” are *roughly* repeating. I have the golden ratio proportions overlayed in red and blue. Again, there are no straight lines, so a rough correspondence is more than enough to establish a sense of rhythm to the naked eye. The fact that it’s *roughly* the golden ratio matters less than the fact that it’s a repeating proportion. For instance, 1:2 or 1:3 would work just as well in terms of composition, though in a sense the golden ratio is probably more “neutral” in this context. > > To my surprise, I learned from the internet that some people find the golden ratio dubious. There’s nothing magical about it, though: If you need a proportion that is smaller than 1:1 and larger than 1:2, yet is still distinguished enough from either to look intentional, then you cannot but end up at with what for all practical purposes is a “naked eye golden ratio”. > > > For the most basic purposes the golden ratio is *roughly* 2:3. Like here where there are no straight lines providing a clear reference. Or, for instance, if you just want to divide a page into two parts. In such contexts, a more precise division isn’t discernible. Finer precisions like 1:1.618 become meaningful only when building up visual relations spanning multiple golden ratio divisions, since only then the golden ratio’s unique mathematical properties might come into play. The target audience might be relevant, though: If, for instance, you design a poster for an exhibition on Mies van der Rohe or for an auction of renaissance paintings or some such, then your target audience might be more sensitive. > > > This proportion is also present on a larger scale: [![enter image description here](https://i.stack.imgur.com/SR6wb.png)](https://i.stack.imgur.com/SR6wb.png) Again, you don’t *have* to use repeating proportions. But in the Canada logo it’s one aspect that provides a sense of intentionality in its composition. Practising your Sense of Composition ------------------------------------ I mentioned that most designers probably make this kind of decision intuitively, often not consciously aware of it. But there is nothing mysterious about intuition. It comes with experience and it can be educated. One very good exercise is what you just did: Trying to recreate something that you like. As you probably know, that takes time, though, and quantity does matter somewhat. Another good way to educate your sense for composition is to *draw* works that you like. Here’s an example from my sketch book: [![enter image description here](https://i.stack.imgur.com/YSoVz.jpg)](https://i.stack.imgur.com/YSoVz.jpg) [![enter image description here](https://i.stack.imgur.com/r3CNZ.jpg)](https://i.stack.imgur.com/r3CNZ.jpg) As you can see, I’m not really good at drawing, but it serves my purpose. I try to make a habit of drawing one work that I regard as masterful every day. Well, in reality it’s just every other day, or every third day, but I’m trying to be more disciplined. That drawing doesn’t have to be good. More importantly, the aim is not to *copy* the original. Nothing would be gained, if you just put tracing paper on the original. The goal is to *reconstruct* the work on your paper. It’s best to think of it as “thinking with your pencil”. It’s about discovering what visual relations matter for the composition. It’s also about committing options for composition to your subconsciousness." 87839,I have this image.I want to crop just triangle not its white background for logo im creating.How can i do it in illustrator or photoshop?[![enter image description here](https://i.stack.imgur.com/gLx3w.jpg)](https://i.stack.imgur.com/gLx3w.jpg),2017/04/01,"['https://graphicdesign.stackexchange.com/questions/87839', 'https://graphicdesign.stackexchange.com', 'https://graphicdesign.stackexchange.com/users/70543/']","*I’ve already been working on this answer in my spare time and I wouldn’t want to see the effort go to waste, although it’s not strictly on-topic, anymore.

The Arduino has no problem with you providing a 5V PWM signal to an input pin. The only time it could be a problem is if the pin you are sending the PWM to is set to an output, in which case you could risk overloading the pin. To get around that you just need to insert a small resistor between the ATTiny's pin and the Arduino's pin. 330Ω or so should do it. Just enough to limit the current to a safe value (< 20mA) but small enough that it won't interfere with the programming communication. A well design schematic for an Arduino ICSP programmer would have had these resistors in all the data communication lines anyway.","That isn't a problem but if you **really** want to prevent ATtiny generating the PWM signal right after flashing the firmware, then you might add a jumper to some free µC input and put the while loop at the beginning of the program which reads that input and waits until you remove the jumper. For example, you could enable internall pull-up on some free input and put the jumper from that pin to GND. Then in the code you can just wait for the input to become high and then proceed with the rest of the code. Then you can just insert the jumper, flash the firmware, remove the connections between ATtiny and Arduino and then remove the jumper." 32201,"I am making a simple voltage regulator.

Notice that these are equivalent operations: ```py p = list(zip(a, b)) plt.plot(*p) plt.plot(p[0], p[1]) ``` Side note: to expand to more points we just add the extra points into the zip: ```py a = [1, 2] b = [3, 4] c = [5, 6] print(list(zip(a, b, c))) # [[1, 3, 5], [2, 4, 6]] plt.plot(*zip(a, b, c)) # plots the 3 points ```","`*` inside a function call converts a list (or other iterable) into a `*args` kind of argument. `zip` with several lists iterates through them pairing up elements: ``` In [1]: list(zip([1,2,3],[4,5,6])) Out[1]: [(1, 4), (2, 5), (3, 6)] ``` If we define a list: ``` In [2]: alist = [[1,2,3],[4,5,6]] In [3]: list(zip(alist)) Out[3]: [([1, 2, 3],), ([4, 5, 6],)] ``` That `zip` didn't do much. But if we star it: ``` In [4]: list(zip(*alist)) Out[4]: [(1, 4), (2, 5), (3, 6)] ``` Check the `zip` docs - see the `*args`: ``` In [5]: zip?

""Finger"" is one of the earliest ARPAnet services (along with Telnet, FTP, SMTP &c). * [History of the Finger protocol](http://www.rajivshah.com/Case_Studies/Finger/Finger.htm) * [RFC 742](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc742) containing a few usage examples from 1977 ### Invocation Your first problem is that the program expects a username and/or an Internet address (hostname or IP address) but you're giving it random numbers instead. Pay attention to the help text that it shows: ``` finger [-l] [user]@host ``` This means that `-l` and the username are optional, but the ""@host"" is mandatory and it actually has to indicate a host (much like ping or telnet also expect a host). Note that the `-l` option is a lowercase L (indicating ""long output""), *not* the number one. On some other operating systems, `finger` also has a local mode where you can run it without any hostname and it'll directly collect information about local users. However, the Windows version will not do that – it will always try to connect to the 'fingerd' service running on localhost:79, which Windows systems simply don't have (hence the ""Connection refused"" message). (Yes, this actually contradicts the help text somewhat – if Windows *had* a finger service listening on port 79, then the '@host' would really be optional.) You can instead try the Windows-specific `quser` or `qwinsta` commands to get a general idea of how it would work. (They can even query a remote Windows system kinda like finger, although this too is disabled by default on non-server Windows versions.) ### Practical use The second problem is that nearly all systems on the internet *no longer provide* the ""finger"" service, due to reasons of security (it reveals usernames) and privacy (it shows when a user is active and even which IP address they're connecting from). Basically it's a relic from the 1980s Internet. But a few public systems (mainly ""retro computing"" sites) still deliberately provide this service, so you can still try it out: * `finger @ssh.tilde.club` (basic Linux machine at the ""tilde.club"" social network) * `finger @athena.dialup.mit.edu` (MIT's Linux cluster) * `finger @samba.acc.umu.se` (Linux cluster at Umeå University) * `finger @up.update.uu.se` (1970s [ITS](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incompatible_Timesharing_System) running in an emulator – you should use the `-l` option with this one) * `finger @telehack.com` ([a game](http://telehack.com/telehack.html) that simulates 80s networks) * `finger @nullroute.eu.org` (an entirely custom ""cluster"" fingerd) In all of those commands, the @host can be prefixed with someone's username if you know it, e.g. `finger operator@telehack.com`. The initial output will show you which usernames are currently logged in. Some systems will automatically activate ""long"" mode whenever a username is given, but with some other systems you still need the `-l` option to get detailed output. --- > > The other system also has to be running Unix. > > > The remote system is not required to be Unix – OpenVMS, ITS, Cisco IOS also had this service, and it's possible to write one for Windows as well *(which I have done)*. Because the protocol is very simple (just ASCII over TCP), some systems host a custom finger service that provides other kinds of data, such as weather information – e.g. CMU had a vending machine and MIT used to have a ""bathroom occupancy"" service ([see also](https://www.ucc.asn.au/services/drink.ucc)). Among new or surviving services, `finger [location]@graph.no` will give you a weather forecast.","That articles information on finger is a bit if a nonsense. Finger is a fairly simple command that is disabled pretty much everywhere because it is more a security threat then a benefit. It was commonly deployed in the early Internet (prior to mass users and security concerns) and does not use encryption or security. In order for system to work the remote system needs to be running a finger daemon (normally fingerd) - As systems are not running this you get a message when you try use the command. Likewise the syntax requires a hostname - not a number, so your client is trying to connect to a nonexistent device which is the specific cause of the failure you are seeing." 22224840,"I want to use mechanize to log into a page and retrieve some information.

That weighs 14.7 pounds. (for a column that has a cross-section of one square inch.) That is the pressure we feel, every day. It is what our bodies are accustomed to. Now, think in the same terms, when you are under the water. In addition to that column of air, you also have a column of water--however deep you are-pushing down on you. If you are 33 feet deep, a square-inch cross-section of water will weigh as much as the column of air above it... Which is why at 33 feet, you are now experiencing 2 Atmospheres of pressure.

The docs don't present a direct step-by-step procedure, though, so I'll try to assist. 1. Download [SteamCMD](https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/SteamCMD) (look for the ""Windows zip file"" link) 2. Unzip SteamCMD into a folder on your computer. 3. Double click steamcmd.exe 4. Wait while steamcmd gets the latest patches 5. At the `Steam>` prompt, type `login anonymous` to get connected to Steam 6. At the `Steam>` prompt, type `force_install_dir cs_go` to set the directory where CS:GO will be installed to. In this case, it's the folder cs\_go in the SteamCMD folder 7. At the `Steam>` prompt, type `app_update 740 validate` to initiate the dedicated server download. 8. Wait for the files to download (the time depends on Steam server load and your internet connection) Once the download is complete, you can close SteamCMD. To launch the server: 1. Open a command prompt (On Win7, you can open the Windows menu and type cmd.exe) 2. Get to the directory where you installed the dedicated server (ie, `cd C:\Users\YOUR USERNAME\Downloads\steamcmd_win32\cs_go`) 3. Launch the server exe with a command like: `srcds -game csgo -console -usercon +game_type 0 +game_mode 0 +mapgroup mg_bomb +map de_dust` The actual server options will vary depending on what type of CS:GO game server you want to run.

Here's what I'm doing: Here's what I'm doing: 1. I connected [this regulator](http://www.beveragefactory.com/draftbeer/regulator/double/premium_double_gauge_542.html) to a 5 lb. CO2 cylinder. 2. Closed the blue output valve. 3. Turned the regulator knob all the way down (left, i.e. counter-clockwise, i.e. out, i.e. towards the minus sign). 4. Opened the valve on the CO2 cylinder. 5. As expected, at this point the input (high-pressure) guage quickly goes up to about 600 psi. 6. NOT expected: the output (low-pressure) guage quickly goes up to 50-60 PSI (the upper limit), and the relief valve starts sputtering and releasing CO2 quickly. 7. Finally, as expected, when I shut off the cylinder, the input pressure slowly drops to zero (and then, if I hold open the relief valve or open the output, so does the output pressure.) I can't find any configuration of knobs and valves that doesn't result in the output pressure spiking and the relief valve opening. Am I missing something? Is the regulator broken? Something else entirely? NOTE: If I open the output, and open the regulator a little bit (so it's just releasing CO2 into the room) then the regulator knob does control the flow rate, as expected. Turning the knob to the left reduces the flow to a fairly low rate. If I then block the flow by closing the output valve, the output pressure builds to 60 PSI in about a second and the relief valve opens.",2013/02/21,"['https://homebrew.stackexchange.com/questions/9434', 'https://homebrew.stackexchange.com', 'https://homebrew.stackexchange.com/users/3159/']","It sounds like what you're doing is correct.

I would double check that the relief lock isn't engaged - this will cause the relief valve to be open all the time. Try turning the ring fastened at the end of the relief valve. If you still can't regulate the pressure with the knob, then the regulator isn't living up to it's name!

Concrete, this means that its `Read` method (`int Read (byte[] array, int offset, int count)`) gets executed repeatedly untill all bytes have been read, ensuring that no more than the given number of bytes are stored in memory. So the scalability is within the less memory usage, as memory is a resource that can come under pressure if the size of the file is high, especially in combination with a high read frequency (of this or of other files) which might cause out of memory problems.","*Posting as a community wiki, since it doesn't technically answer the question, but suggested code won't work as a comment.* You can return a stream directly from `FileResult`, so there's no need to manually read from it. In fact, your code doesn't actually ""stream"", since you're basically reading the whole stream into memory, and then returning the `byte[]` at the end. Instead, just do: ``` using (FileStream fileStream = new FileStream(filePath, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read, FileShare.Read)) { return File(fileStream, ""audio/mpeg""); } ``` Or even simpler, just return the file path, and let `FileResult` handle it completely: ``` return File(System.IO.File.OpenRead(filePath), ""audio/mpeg""); ```" 2005378,Let $p$ be a prime number and $A$ be a commutative ring with unity.

This can give you some insights about the data. In R you can use: `cor(dat[,names(dat)], use =""pairwise"", method = ""pearson"")` However, there is no exact threshold at which we can say that collinearity is too high (unless, of course, the Pearson correlation coefficient equals 1). If you try to fit a linear model, pairwise correlations are not the sole problem, we can have collinearity between more than two variables… We commonly evaluate multicollinearity through Variance Inflation Factors (VIFs). In R, after fitting the model we can use `vif(model)` from the package ‘car’. This gives the correlations between each predictor and all the other predictors used in the model. The rule of thumb is that VIF should not be larger than 10. If so, you remove the variable having the highest VIF, re-run the model and check again the VIF. It may be sometimes that the predictor that you need to remove (according to VIF) is your predictor of interest (this can happen when your aim is not prediction, but rather to identify how certain predictors affect the outcome variable). In that case, you keep your predictor and look at the Pearson pairwise correlation matrix to identify which predictors are highly correlated with your main predictor and remove them one by one while checking VIF.","If what you are after is a list of covariates that are not collinear, you can use `lm()` to do the job for you.

You have things that you're using as bar codes for items that are basically all the same in one respect (they are SerialNumberItems), but have been split into multiple tables because they are different in other respects. I have several ideas for you: Change the Defaults ------------------- Just make each product required to have one color ""no color"" and one size ""no size"". Then you can query any table you want to find the info you need. SuperType/SubType ----------------- Without too much modification you could use the supertype/subtype database design pattern. In it, there is a parent table where all the distinct detail-level identifiers live, and the shared columns of the subtype tables go in the supertype table (the ways that all the items are the same). There is one subtype table for each different way that the items are distinct. If mutual exclusivity of the subtype is required (you can have a Color or a Size but not both), then the parent table is given a TypeID column and the subtype tables have an FK to both the ParentID and the TypeID. Looking at your design, in fact you would not use mutual exclusivity. If you use the pattern of a supertype table, you do have the issue of having to insert in two parts, first to the supertype, then the subtype. Deleting also requires deleting in reverse order. But you get a great benefit of being able to get basic information such as Title and Stock out of the supertype table with a single query. You could even create schema-bound views for each subtype, with instead-of triggers that convert inserts, updates, and deletes into operations on the base table + child table. A Bigger Redesign ----------------- You could completely change how Colors and Sizes are related to products. First, your patterns of ""has-a"" are these: * Product (has nothing) * Product->Color * Product->Size * Product->Color->Size There is a problem here. Clearly Product is the main item that has other things (colors and sizes) but colors don't have sizes! That is an arbitrary assignment. You may as well have said that Sizes have Colors--it doesn't make a difference. This reveals that your table design may not be best, as you're trying to model orthogonal data in a parent-child type of relationship. Really, products have a ColorAndSize. Furthermore, when a product comes in colors and sizes, what does the `uniqueid` in the Color table mean? Can such a product be ordered without a size, having only a color? This design is assigning a unique ID to something that (it seems to me) should never be allowed to be ordered--but you can't find this information out from the Color table, you have to compare the Color and Size tables first. It is a problem. I would design this as: Table `Product`. Table `Size` listing all distinct sizes possible for any product ever. Table `Color` listing all distinct colors possible for any product ever. And table `OrderableProduct` that has columns `ProductId`, `ColorID`, `SizeID`, and `UniqueID` (your bar code value). Additionally, each product must have one color and one size or it doesn't exist. Basically, Color and Size are like X and Y coordinates into a grid; you are filling in the boxes that are allowable combinations. Which one is the row and which the column is irrelevant. Certainly, one is not a child of the other. If there are any reasonable rules, in general, about what colors or sizes can be applied to various sub-groups of products, there might be utility in a ProductType table and a ProductTypeOrderables table that, when creating a new product, could populate the OrderableProduct table with the standard set—it could still be customized but might be easier to modify than to create anew. Or, it could define the range of colors and sizes that are allowable. You might need separate ProductTypeAllowedColor and ProductTypeAllowedSize tables. For example, if you are selling T-shirts, you'd want to allow XXXS, XXS, XS, S, M, L, XL, XXL, XXXL, and XXXXL, even if most products never use all those sizes. But for soft drinks, the sizes might be 6-pack 8oz, 24-pack 8oz, 2 liter, and so on, even if each soft drink is not offered in that size (and soft drinks don't have colors). In this new scheme, you only have one table to query to find the correct orderable product. With proper indexes, it should be blazing fast. Your Question ------------- You asked: > > in PostgreSQL, so do you think if i use indexes on unique\_id i will get a satisfactory performance? > > > Any column or set of columns that you use to repeatedly look up data must have an index! Any other pattern will result in a full table scan each time, which will be awful performance. I am sure that these indexes will make your queries lightning fast as it will take only one leaf-level read per table.","There's an easier way to generate unique IDs using three separate auto\_increment columns.

The main reasons is: 1) As `unique_id` has indexes in all tables, i will get a good performance 2) Using the `unique_id` i will find the product code, so i can get all columns i need using a another simple join ``` SELECT p.title, ps.stock FROM ( select id as id_product, stock from product where unique_id = 10 UNION select id_product, stock from color where unique_id = 10 UNION select id_product, stock from size where unique_id = 10 ) AS ps JOIN product p ON ps.id_product = p.id; ```",2012/07/10,"['https://Stackoverflow.com/questions/11422517', 'https://Stackoverflow.com', 'https://Stackoverflow.com/users/999820/']","### PL/pgSQL function To solve the problem at hand, a plpgsql function like the following should be faster: ``` CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION func(int) RETURNS TABLE (title text, stock int) LANGUAGE plpgsql AS $BODY$ BEGIN RETURN QUERY SELECT p.title, p.stock FROM product p WHERE p.unique_id = $1; -- Put the most likely table first. IF NOT FOUND THEN RETURN QUERY SELECT p.title, c.stock FROM color c JOIN product p ON c.id_product = p.id WHERE c.unique_id = $1; END; IF NOT FOUND THEN RETURN QUERY SELECT p.title, s.stock FROM size s JOIN product p ON s.id_product = p.id WHERE s.unique_id = $1; END IF; END; $BODY$; ``` Updated function with table-qualified column names to avoid naming conflicts with `OUT` parameters. `RETURNS TABLE` requires PostgreSQL 8.4, `RETURN QUERY` requires version 8.2. You can substitute both for older versions. It goes without saying that you need to **index** the columns `unique_id` of every involved table. `id` should be indexed automatically, being the primary key. --- ### Redesign Ideally, you can tell which table from the ID alone. You could keep using one common sequence, but add `100000000` for the first table, `200000000` for the second and `300000000` for the third - or whatever suits your needs. This way, the least significant part of the number is easily distinguishable. A plain integer spans numbers from -2147483648 to +2147483647, move to [`bigint`](http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/interactive/datatype-numeric.html#DATATYPE-INT) if that's not enough for you. I would stick to `integer` IDs, though, if possible. They are smaller and faster than `bigint` or `text`. --- ### CTEs (experimental!) If you cannot create a function for some reason, this pure SQL solution might do a similar trick: ``` WITH x(uid) AS (SELECT 10) -- provide unique_id here , a AS ( SELECT title, stock FROM x, product WHERE unique_id = x.uid ) , b AS ( SELECT p.title, c.stock FROM x, color c JOIN product p ON c.id_product = p.id WHERE NOT EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM a) AND c.unique_id = x.uid ) , c AS ( SELECT p.title, s.stock FROM x, size s JOIN product p ON s.id_product = p.id WHERE NOT EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM b) AND s.unique_id = x.uid ) SELECT * FROM a UNION ALL SELECT * FROM b UNION ALL SELECT * FROM c; ``` I am *not sure* whether it avoids additional scans like I hope. Would have to be tested. This query requires at least PostgreSQL 8.4. --- ### Upgrade! As I just learned, the OP runs on PostgreSQL 8.1. **Upgrading alone** would speed up the operation a lot. --- ### Query for PostgreSQL 8.1 As you are limited in your options, and a plpgsql function is not possible, this function should perform better than the one you have. Test with [`EXPLAIN ANALYZE`](http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.1/interactive/sql-explain.html) - available in v8.1. ``` SELECT title, stock FROM product WHERE unique_id = 10 UNION ALL SELECT p.title, ps.stock FROM product p JOIN ( SELECT id_product, stock FROM color WHERE unique_id = 10 UNION ALL SELECT id_product, stock FROM size WHERE unique_id = 10 ) ps ON ps.id_product = p.id; ```","I think it's time for a redesign. You have things that you're using as bar codes for items that are basically all the same in one respect (they are SerialNumberItems), but have been split into multiple tables because they are different in other respects. I have several ideas for you: Change the Defaults ------------------- Just make each product required to have one color ""no color"" and one size ""no size"". Then you can query any table you want to find the info you need. SuperType/SubType ----------------- Without too much modification you could use the supertype/subtype database design pattern. In it, there is a parent table where all the distinct detail-level identifiers live, and the shared columns of the subtype tables go in the supertype table (the ways that all the items are the same). There is one subtype table for each different way that the items are distinct. If mutual exclusivity of the subtype is required (you can have a Color or a Size but not both), then the parent table is given a TypeID column and the subtype tables have an FK to both the ParentID and the TypeID. Looking at your design, in fact you would not use mutual exclusivity. If you use the pattern of a supertype table, you do have the issue of having to insert in two parts, first to the supertype, then the subtype. Deleting also requires deleting in reverse order. But you get a great benefit of being able to get basic information such as Title and Stock out of the supertype table with a single query. You could even create schema-bound views for each subtype, with instead-of triggers that convert inserts, updates, and deletes into operations on the base table + child table. A Bigger Redesign ----------------- You could completely change how Colors and Sizes are related to products. First, your patterns of ""has-a"" are these: * Product (has nothing) * Product->Color * Product->Size * Product->Color->Size There is a problem here. Clearly Product is the main item that has other things (colors and sizes) but colors don't have sizes! That is an arbitrary assignment. You may as well have said that Sizes have Colors--it doesn't make a difference. This reveals that your table design may not be best, as you're trying to model orthogonal data in a parent-child type of relationship. Really, products have a ColorAndSize. Furthermore, when a product comes in colors and sizes, what does the `uniqueid` in the Color table mean? Can such a product be ordered without a size, having only a color? This design is assigning a unique ID to something that (it seems to me) should never be allowed to be ordered--but you can't find this information out from the Color table, you have to compare the Color and Size tables first. It is a problem. I would design this as: Table `Product`. Table `Size` listing all distinct sizes possible for any product ever. Table `Color` listing all distinct colors possible for any product ever. And table `OrderableProduct` that has columns `ProductId`, `ColorID`, `SizeID`, and `UniqueID` (your bar code value). Additionally, each product must have one color and one size or it doesn't exist. Basically, Color and Size are like X and Y coordinates into a grid; you are filling in the boxes that are allowable combinations. Which one is the row and which the column is irrelevant. Certainly, one is not a child of the other. If there are any reasonable rules, in general, about what colors or sizes can be applied to various sub-groups of products, there might be utility in a ProductType table and a ProductTypeOrderables table that, when creating a new product, could populate the OrderableProduct table with the standard set—it could still be customized but might be easier to modify than to create anew. Or, it could define the range of colors and sizes that are allowable. You might need separate ProductTypeAllowedColor and ProductTypeAllowedSize tables. For example, if you are selling T-shirts, you'd want to allow XXXS, XXS, XS, S, M, L, XL, XXL, XXXL, and XXXXL, even if most products never use all those sizes. But for soft drinks, the sizes might be 6-pack 8oz, 24-pack 8oz, 2 liter, and so on, even if each soft drink is not offered in that size (and soft drinks don't have colors). In this new scheme, you only have one table to query to find the correct orderable product. With proper indexes, it should be blazing fast. Your Question ------------- You asked: > > in PostgreSQL, so do you think if i use indexes on unique\_id i will get a satisfactory performance? > > > Any column or set of columns that you use to repeatedly look up data must have an index! Any other pattern will result in a full table scan each time, which will be awful performance.

The reason is because your $y$ variable contains a zero and when you take the logarithm of this then you get an NA value. Then, when you pass this to the `lm` function you get the error. (Because you pass log(y) nested inside the lm function this is not so clear, but the 'y' of the lm function is your 'log(y)' value and not your 'y' value) Sidenote: to fit a powerlaw with linearisation you should use $\log(y) = a + b \cdot \log(x)$. In your code you use $\log(y) = bx$ and you miss the intercept as well as taking the logarithm of $x$. ### The fitting of the power law Distributions that have power law behaviour are often only having this behaviour for a limited range. In your fitting method you should only fit the part of the distribution that follows the power law. In the log-log plot below you see that you don't have a straight line over the entire range, in addition, the points in the tail are the ones with a large scatter and error. If you plot the points along with the known underlying distribution you see that the error is not just the scatter but also the error is correlated and the entire curve can have an error. [![example of behaviour on log log scale](https://i.stack.imgur.com/HIXsD.png)](https://i.stack.imgur.com/HIXsD.png) On the plot I also have added a log-normal distribution. It shows that curves that are not really straight can appear to be straight. Just fitting a straight line does not tell that you also actually have a straight line. The article mentioned by Sycorax on the comments, [Power-law distributions in empirical data](https://arxiv.org/abs/0706.1062), discusses this issue on more detail.","#### You might want to use the `tailplot` function in the `utilities` package The standard way of examining tail behaviour of data is through a tail-plot or a Hill plot (or variations of these). The tailplot shows the tails of a dataset against the empirical tail probability, each exhibited on a logarithmic scale. The plot can be generated in `R` by using the [`tailplot` function](https://search.r-project.org/CRAN/refmans/utilities/html/tailplot.html) in the [`utilities` package](https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=utilities). This function allows you to plot the data in one or both tails using a chosen proportion of the dataset (by default the plot will show 5% of the data in each tail) and it will compare this with a specified power-rate of decay (by default it is compared with cubic decay, which determines finiteness of the variance. In the code below I give an example of a tailplot for a set of $n=1000$ datapoints generated from a standard normal distribution. The plot shows that the tails of the distributin decays substantially faster than cubic decay, which is sufficient to give finite variance. You can compare your data with an alternate rate-of-decay if you prefer. ``` #Set some mock data set.seed(1) DATA <- rnorm(1000) #Show the tail plots library(utilities) tailplot(DATA) ``` [![enter image description here](https://i.stack.imgur.com/4yIFi.jpg)](https://i.stack.imgur.com/4yIFi.jpg) Note that the `tailplot` function also allows you to include a Hill-plot and/or De Sousa-Michailidis plot used for estimating the rate-of-decay of the tails.

For $t=2$, draw a picture. It's pretty easy to see the answer is $1/3$. For the $t=3$ case, let the angles be $\theta\_1$, $\theta\_2$, and $\theta\_3$. By symmetry, you can assume without loss of generality that $\theta\_1 = 0$. So you need to find the probability that $\|\langle 1, 0 \rangle + \langle \cos\theta\_2, \sin\theta\_2 \rangle +\langle \cos\theta\_3,\sin\theta\_3\rangle \|<1$. A little computation shows that this is equals $P(1+\cos\theta\_2+\cos\theta\_3+\cos(\theta\_2-\theta\_3)<0)$, where $\theta\_2$ and $\theta\_3$ are chosen independently from the uniform distribution on $[0,2\pi]$.

Your second move will be to $P\_2=(1 + cos(\theta), sin(\theta))$, where theta is uniform [0, $\pi$] (can ignore the [$\pi,2\pi$] range due to symmetry). Density function of $\theta$ is just $f(\theta)=\frac{1}{\pi}$ Draw unit-circles around $P\_0$ and $P\_2$, and let X be the second intersection point of these two circles (aside from $P\_1$). Now draw the quadrilateral $\overline{P\_0P\_1P\_2X}$. Turns out this is actually a rhombus, with each side of length 1. From geometry of parallel-lines, one can see that the angle $\angle P\_1P\_2X$ equals theta. Also, this angle $\theta$ subtends the arc of the $P\_2$ circle that is inside the $P\_0$ circle. Therefore, for any given $\theta$, the probability that a chosen point on the $P\_2$ circle will be inside the $P\_0$ circle is simply $\frac{\theta}{2\pi}$. Putting this all together, the probability that we return to the unit-circle after 3 moves is: $\int^\pi\_0(1/\pi) \* (\theta/2\pi) d\theta = 1/4$" 612405,"Let $E:\mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}$ be an infinitely continuously differentiable function and $E$ is not zero function such that $$E(u+v)=E(u)E(v).$$ Show that $E(x)=e^{ax}$ for some $a\in \mathbb{R}$.

It's pretty easy to see the answer is $1/3$. For the $t=3$ case, let the angles be $\theta\_1$, $\theta\_2$, and $\theta\_3$. By symmetry, you can assume without loss of generality that $\theta\_1 = 0$. So you need to find the probability that $\|\langle 1, 0 \rangle + \langle \cos\theta\_2, \sin\theta\_2 \rangle +\langle \cos\theta\_3,\sin\theta\_3\rangle \|<1$. A little computation shows that this is equals $P(1+\cos\theta\_2+\cos\theta\_3+\cos(\theta\_2-\theta\_3)<0)$, where $\theta\_2$ and $\theta\_3$ are chosen independently from the uniform distribution on $[0,2\pi]$. That's as far as I got.

My partial answer: The function $x\mapsto e^{ax}$ satisfies the properties immediately. For $y=0$, we have $E(x)=E(x)E(0)$. Thus, $E(0)=1$. Let $y\in \mathbb{R}$ is fixed, then $$E'(x+y)=E(y)E'(x)$$.

Your second move will be to $P\_2=(1 + cos(\theta), sin(\theta))$, where theta is uniform [0, $\pi$] (can ignore the [$\pi,2\pi$] range due to symmetry). Density function of $\theta$ is just $f(\theta)=\frac{1}{\pi}$ Draw unit-circles around $P\_0$ and $P\_2$, and let X be the second intersection point of these two circles (aside from $P\_1$). Now draw the quadrilateral $\overline{P\_0P\_1P\_2X}$. Turns out this is actually a rhombus, with each side of length 1. From geometry of parallel-lines, one can see that the angle $\angle P\_1P\_2X$ equals theta. Also, this angle $\theta$ subtends the arc of the $P\_2$ circle that is inside the $P\_0$ circle. Therefore, for any given $\theta$, the probability that a chosen point on the $P\_2$ circle will be inside the $P\_0$ circle is simply $\frac{\theta}{2\pi}$. Putting this all together, the probability that we return to the unit-circle after 3 moves is: $\int^\pi\_0(1/\pi) \* (\theta/2\pi) d\theta = 1/4$" 41073364,"how can I ignore all the duplicating records and get only those which do not have a tie in mysql for example; from the following data set; ``` 1|item1| data1 2|item1| data2 3|item2| data3 4|item3| data4 ``` I want to get this get this kind of results; ``` 3|item2| data3 4|item3| data4 ```",2016/12/10,"['https://Stackoverflow.com/questions/41073364', 'https://Stackoverflow.com', 'https://Stackoverflow.com/users/6870393/']","before call third function you need to call first two functions that will assign values to $this->a & $this->b try below code : ``` protected $a; protected $b; function fast() { $a=10; $this->a = $a; } function slow() { $b=20; $this->b = $b; } function avg() { $c=$this->a+$this->b; echo $c; } } $relay = new race(); $relay->fast(); $relay->slow(); $relay->avg(); ```","Firstly, you are using object properties incorrectly.

In fact, there are performance differences among the same types of kayaks. For example, a 14-foot kayak will always track more straightly than a 10-foot kayak. A wide recreational kayak will always have more primary stability than a narrower touring kayak. Even if you both get the same type of kayak I suspect you'll find they work differently for each of you. No doubt you both do not weigh the same -- if you're heavier, a given kayak will sit lower in the water than for her. That may result in increased stability, or it could mean that you capsize easily. Alternatively, consider height and armspan: if she's short she may find it difficult to paddle in a wide rec kayak where the paddle is constantly bumping the edge of the boat. In short: you should each look for a kayak that suits you. That means you will see performance differences between the two kayaks, but if the boats really do suit each of you, that won't be a problem because you've found something that fits well.

Of course, keeping up with a partner is about more than the just the kayak.

This can make SOT's a little more stable but a longer boat will track better (go straight). The more rough the water you want to travel in the longer boat you want. **Storage** Touring boats will have much more storage in them as that's what they're meant to do. It's usually covered storage in the bow and stern of the boat. Sometimes SOT's have storage but most of the time it's sitting on top of the boat with you. Having gear on top of the boat makes it more accessible but easier to lose in the waves. **Ease of Use** SOT's are easy to use. Just sit on them and go. Touring boats take a little practice getting into and out of. A nylon or neoprene skirt to go around the cockpit and around your waist is a good thing to have in rough water or just to prevent drips from the paddle falling onto your lap. Using a skirt makes them a little more complicated to get into an out of though. **Cost** Touring boats tend to be longer and have more features so they'll probably cost you more. All the SOT's I've seen are made out of roto-molded plastic which is the least expensive to make. You can get touring boats out of roto-molded plastic, thermoformed plastic or fiberglass. Roto-molded is cheaper, heavier but very durable. Thermoformed is lighter and faster but more expensive. Fibreglass is the most expensive, the fastest but the most fragile. **Weather conditions** Rougher conditions in the water will warrant a longer boat and probably one of the touring variety.

Initially i was doing return to not go beyond the limit. The only downside with that is that anyone else not having the word-wrap active wouldn't have the limitation. So should i strive forward of actually word-wrapping or is the visual word-wrap ok?

The point of PEP8’s stylistic rules is that the file looks the same in every editor, so you cannot rely on editor visualizations to satisfy PEP8. This also makes you choose the point where to break deliberately. For example, Sublime will do a pretty basic job in wrapping that line; but you could do it in a more readable way, e.g.: ``` x = os.path.split(os.path.split(os.path.split( os.path.split(os.path.split(path)[0])[0] )[0])[0]) ``` Of course that’s not necessarily pretty (I blame that mostly on this example code though), but it makes clear what belongs to what. That being said, a good strategy is to simply avoid having to wrap lines. For example, you are using `os.path.split` over and over; so you could change your import: ``` from os.path import split x = split(split(split(split(split(path)[0])[0])[0])[0]) ``` And of course, if you find yourself doing something over and over, maybe there’s a better way to do this, for example using Python 3.4’s `pathlib`: ``` import pathlib p = pathlib.Path(path).parents[2] print(p.parent.absolute(), p.name) ```","In-file word wrapping would let your code conform to Pep-8 most consistently, even if other programmers are looking at your code using different coding environments. That seems to me to be the best solution to keeping to the standard, particularly if you are expecting that others will, at some point, be looking at your code. If you are working with a set group of people on a project, or even in a company, it may be possible to coordinate with the other programmers to find what solution you are all most satisfied with. For personal projects that you really aren't expecting anyone else to ever look at, I'm sure it's fine to use the visual word wrapping, but enforcing it yourself would certainly help to build on a good habit." 31768349,"I tried an SSE (Server-Sent-Events) using java on tomcat 8.0.

First, you're making a `POST` request to a controller action that does not have the `[HttpPost]` annotation.

Even if they are on top of each other. The reasoning, is because when you ask for the `left` positioning of the sun, since it's radius is bigger, thus a larger circle, it's left offset/position is less than what the earth would be. So now, you just have a simple math problem to solve for concentric circles - aka finding the distance between the edge of the sun and the edge of the earth, then you would need to subtract/add to whichever offset you want to check against.

As a consequence your synchronous `for` loop executes before any I/O callbacks are resolved. All calls to `showMenu()` returns promises which are resolved asynchronously, meaning nothing will be printed, and no inputs will be interpreted until after looping.

Hence $|\mathbb Z[\sqrt{-17}]/(3)|=9$. We have $(3) \subsetneq (3,1+\sqrt{-17}) \subsetneq (1)$, hence $\mathbb Z[\sqrt{-17}]/(3,1+\sqrt{-17})$ is a non-trivial quotient of $\mathbb Z[\sqrt{-17}]/(3)$. A non-trivial quotient of a group with $9$ elements must have $3$ elements, hence we obtain $$|\mathbb Z[\sqrt{-17}]/(3,1+\sqrt{-17})|=3$$ without having calculated the quotient (Which would be of course an easy task, too, as shown in the other answers)." 19533566,"I have a LinearLayout with a white background,filled with a bunch of LinearLayouts and RelativeLayouts.

Down in Kernel Space I have a network kernel module, which deals with all the TCP connections. I need to be able to identify in the driver which sockets were intercepted by the User Space library. So far I've been using the `priority` field from `struct sock` (Kernel) that I can set with `setsockopt()` in User Space. But that's quite a dirty hack. Is there any kind of private field of `struct sock` I could safely use and set from User Space through `setsockopt()`? Thanks.",2013/09/16,"['https://Stackoverflow.com/questions/18835104', 'https://Stackoverflow.com', 'https://Stackoverflow.com/users/1181890/']","There is really no such ""private field"" option that can be used solely by user space and your kernel code. Using the `SO_PRIORITY` option seems a little too intrusive, as it can change how the stack processes packets, and it might lead to hard to understand results. A safer option would be to adjust the `SO_RCVBUF` or `SO_SNDBUF` values by some small delta from the usual default. Linux will double the value passed in, but you can look for the delta from the default values and know that the presence of the delta as a signal that this is your ""intercepted"" socket.","Getting to your original question ""I need to be able to identify in the driver which sockets were intercepted by the User Space library."" there are a few functions in fact. Firstly you need to know that ALL the existing connections are stored in a global hash table - ""tcp\_hashinfo"", and you can find the address in /proc/kallsyms. The main function is \_\_inet\_lookup\_skb(), which called \_\_inet\_lookup(), and split into \_\_inet\_lookup\_established() (looking for any matching sockets that have been established) and \_\_inet\_lookup\_listener() (looking for opened listener, but no established connections yet). The main inputs required for lookup is the source/destination ports and IP addresses information, if found the returning pointer is a ""struct sock \*"" to the socket. IPv6 has about the same name, and same logic too. The function (\_\_inet\_lookup\_skb()) is declared ""static inline"" - it cannot be found from /proc/kallsyms and neither can drivers see it, as it is compiled inline. But no problem for that as this call two other function - inet\_lookup\_listener() and inet\_lookup\_established() which are NOT compiled inline. Symbols for it are exported, so you are safe to use it from a kernel module. It is important that reading this hashinfo table is a critical operation - multiple CPUs may be reading/writing to it at the same time, and which is why locking is done at the beginning/end of functions when reading is done, to be prevent it being modified while being read. As it is difficult to access these RCU locks, even though it is global by nature, don't re-implement these functions, just reuse them." 13086869,"I am creating a 12 month calendar using the individual calendar controls for each month.

The issue is the question mark after the slash inside the repeating pattern. So, the pattern you gave: ``` '^(?P(?:[\w-]+/?)+)/$' ``` Says, look for one or more groups of one or more word characters or dashes possibly followed by a slash, then there should be a slash at the very end. So, for a string like `arm/`, the inner grouping could be any of: ``` (arm)/ (ar)(m)/ (a)(rm)/ (a)(r)(m)/ ``` As the string gets longer, if the regex fails to match on its first try, it will check more and more combinations to try to match.

I'd like to be able to set single variable to e.g. `OPTIMIZE_MOST` and get `-O3` on gcc and `/O2` in MS C++ compiler.

However, CMake provides so called [build types](https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/variable/CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE.html). Those are independent of the compiler in use and each comes with a predefined selection of flags, one of which is the optimization flag. Available build types are * `Debug` * `Release` * `RelWithDebInfo` * `MinSizeRel` For a comprehensive explanation, I refer to [this answer](https://stackoverflow.com/a/24767451/579698). It also provides some code that helps to identify the flags in question when included into the `CMakeLists.txt` file: ``` message(""CMAKE_C_FLAGS_DEBUG is ${CMAKE_C_FLAGS_DEBUG}"") message(""CMAKE_C_FLAGS_RELEASE is ${CMAKE_C_FLAGS_RELEASE}"") message(""CMAKE_C_FLAGS_RELWITHDEBINFO is ${CMAKE_C_FLAGS_RELWITHDEBINFO}"") message(""CMAKE_C_FLAGS_MINSIZEREL is ${CMAKE_C_FLAGS_MINSIZEREL}"") message(""CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS_DEBUG is ${CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS_DEBUG}"") message(""CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS_RELEASE is ${CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS_RELEASE}"") message(""CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS_RELWITHDEBINFO is ${CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS_RELWITHDEBINFO}"") message(""CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS_MINSIZEREL is ${CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS_MINSIZEREL}"") ```","To a degree. For some concepts, CMake has support for specifying them in a compiler-agnostic manner, usually by setting properties on the target in question. Unfortunately, there is no one location where all such possibilities would be listed. I went through the current [list of target properties](https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/manual/cmake-properties.7.html#properties-on-targets) and identified the following properties as ""absrtacting away build-tool option syntax"": * `COMPILE_PDB_NAME` * `INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES` * `INSTALL_RPATH` * `INTERPROCEDURAL_OPTIMIZATION` * `LINK_DIRECTORIES` * `LINK_LIBRARIES` * `PDB_NAME` * `PDB_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY` * (plus the properties for setting output name, path, etc.) There is apparently nothing for handling optimisation flags other than IPO.

So ``` Animal1 0 0 1 2 3 0 1 Animal2 3 3 0 1 4 2 0 Animal3 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 ``` Results in ``` Animal1 7 Animal2 11 Animal3 1 ``` Is this possible?",2016/01/15,"['https://Stackoverflow.com/questions/34811616', 'https://Stackoverflow.com', 'https://Stackoverflow.com/users/4729787/']","(Your problem description didn't match your examples. I interpreted the problem as one of summing the 4 elements in a row which begin with the first number which is greater than 0. If my interpretation is wrong -- the following code would need to be tweaked.) You could do it with a user-defined function (i.e. a UDF -- a VBA function designed to be used as a spreadsheet function): ``` Function SumAfter(R As Range, n As Long) As Variant 'Sums the (at most) n elements beginning with the first occurence of 'a strictly positive number in the range R, 'which is assumed to be 1-dimensional. 'If all numbers are zero or negative -- returns a #VALUE! error Dim i As Long, j As Long, m As Long Dim total As Variant m = R.Cells.Count For i = 1 To m If R.Cells(i).Value > 0 Then For j = i To Application.Min(m, i + n - 1) total = total + R.Cells(j) Next j SumAfter = total Exit Function End If Next i 'error condition if you reach here SumAfter = CVErr(xlErrValue) End Function ``` If your sample data is in `A1:H3` then putting the formula `=SumAfter(B1:H1,4)` in `I1` and copying down will work as intended. Note that the code is slightly more general than your problem description. If you are going to use VBA, you might as well make your subs/functions as flexible as possible. Also note that if you are writing a UDF, it is a good idea to think of what type of error you want to return if the input violates expectations. See [this](http://www.cpearson.com/Excel/ReturningErrors.aspx) for an excellent discussion (from Chip Pearson's site - which is an excellent resource for Excel VBA programmers). ON EDIT: If you want the first cell greater than 0 added to the next 4 (for a total of 5 cells in the sum) then the function I gave works as is, but using `=SumAfter(B1:H1,5)` instead of `=SumAfter(B1:H1,4)`.","This is the one of the variants of how you can achieve required result: ``` Sub test() Dim cl As Range, cl2 As Range, k, Dic As Object, i%: i = 1 Set Dic = CreateObject(""Scripting.Dictionary"") For Each cl In ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Columns(1).Cells For Each cl2 In Range(Cells(cl.Row, 2), Cells(cl.Row, 8)) If cl2.Value2 > 0 Then Dic.Add i, cl.Value2 & ""|"" & Application.Sum(Range(cl2, cl2.Offset(, 4))) i = i + 1 Exit For End If Next cl2, cl Workbooks.Add: i = 1 For Each k In Dic Cells(i, ""A"").Value2 = Split(Dic(k), ""|"")(0) Cells(i, ""b"").Value2 = CDec(Split(Dic(k), ""|"")(1)) i = i + 1 Next k End Sub ``` [![enter image description here](https://i.stack.imgur.com/rviN2.png)](https://i.stack.imgur.com/rviN2.png)" 230343,"I asked a question here [how can i see if my data are coming from two different population?](https://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/230255/how-can-i-see-if-my-data-are-coming-from-two-different-population) and seems like I cannot correctly communicate and the person who is writing to me is making me confused.

This works correctly even across chained includes -- e.g. `~/.gitconfig` can have: ``` [include] path = subdir/gitconfig ``` and `subdir/gitconfig` can have: ``` [include] path = nested_subdir/gitconfig ``` ... which will cause `subdir/nested_subdir/gitconfig` to be loaded. 3.

This is because by definition, the bubble sort swaps the highest value toward the end of the array. This means that on the second pass, you do not need to compare the last value again, because it is guaranteed to be larger or equal to the element in the next lower index. Likewise, after pass 2, the top two elements will be the highest values and sorted relative to one another. By extension, after `i` passes, the `i` top elements will be in their correct positions. The first example takes this into account, by subtracting `i` from the maximum `j` iterator value. The second example unnecessarily compares the upper elements in subsequent passes.

Now, personally when it comes to implementation, I do use some kind of naming-convention. For example: * For large projects, I use double underscores to split between table categories, (ie. `hr__personnel`, `hr__clocks`, `hr__timetable`, `vehicles__cars`, `vehicles__trips`) and so on. * Now, having a relationship between two tables, I do Include both (or all) of the involved table names. (ie. `hr__personnel_timetable`, `vehicles__cars_trips`, etc) * Sometimes, (as we all know), we cannot follow strictly a standard, so in those cases I use my own criteria when choosing large relationships' names. * As a rule, I also name table attributes by a three-letter preffix. For example, in my table `trips`, my fields will be `tri_id`,`tri_distance`, `tri_elapsed` * Note also, that in the above item, I didn't include a Foreign Key. So here I go then. When it comes to FK's, It's easy for me (and my team) to realize that the field IS a FK. If we follow the previous example, I would like to know who drives in each trip (to make it easier, we assume that only one person drives one trip). So my table now is something like this: `tri_id`, *`per_id`*, `tri_distance`, `tri_elapsed`. Now you can easily realize that per\_id is just a foreign field of the table. Just, another hint to help. Just by following these simple steps, you will save *hours*, and probably some headaches too. Hope this helps.","It is better to use underscores...

Had they believed he was the foretold Messiah, they would have taken the possibility of that seriously. Given that they wanted this Jesus out of the way due to his claims, they wanted him to stay out of the way once they'd got the Roman authorities to crucify him. That was when they remembered that one of Jesus' claims while alive was that he would rise from the dead, and ***that*** made them think of tricks his disciples might employ to deceive people into thinking Christ was now alive. The verse you quote is very clear in showing their reasoning behind asking for a guard at the tomb: ""his disciples may come and steal the body and tell the people that he has been raised from the dead. This last deception will be worse than the first."" They'd also called Jesus *""that deceiver""* to Pilate, so they did not believe Jesus would actually arise (vs.63). This categorically proves that these men did ***not*** believe Jesus would rise from the dead. But given that, while alive, Jesus three times stated to his disciples that he would arise, the simple reason why the disciples were not full of faith about that was that Jesus' arrest and sentence to crucifixion was a bombshell, and they no doubt thought they could be rounded up next, hence the way they kept out of sight behind locked doors. They supposed Jesus would triumph over the Romans, not that the Romans would kill him! The Pharisees, however, knew that if a trick was played, with the corpse of Jesus taken away in the night, the disciples could then spread a story that he had been resurrected, and that deception would be far harder for them to deal with. So they asked Pilate for permission to set a seal and a guard over the tomb, that happened, and when the guards reported the miracle of the resurrection, they were bribed to spread the lie that, while they were asleep, the disciples came to do just that. It's very plainly stated in the gospel account. Why would skeptical disbelief about Matthew's account require more consideration than Matthew's account, for Matthew saw with his own eyes the resurrected Christ? There's no way Matthew would need to invent *""an apologetic resource to defend the empty tomb,""* when the empty tomb was the proof the disciples needed to restore their faith in Jesus' promise that, on the third day, he would be raised! Proof substantiated shortly after by the followers then seeing the living Christ, and even touching his wounds, and eating with him. Then when they went to the mountain specified in Galilee, he met with them to give parting instructions, and they saw him literally ascend, bodily, up into the sky till clouds hid him from their sight. So, **the answer to your main question is that the Pharisees did ***not*** anticipate Jesus' resurrection (at any time, let alone before the disciples started to believe in it). The Pharisees never, at any point, expected Jesus to arise from the dead.** They ***did*** expect the disciples to do a trick to deceive the populace that that had happened, and that was the reason for them getting a Roman guard placed, with a sealed stone over the tomb. Their actions were those of total disbelievers who wanted to second-guess the disciples. They guessed wrong, for the resurrection happened before any of the women followers even got to the tomb, to then tell the disciples they'd seen the risen Christ. The strange thing is that the last two sentences of the text you quote answers your question. And Matthew 28:11-15 deals with your other question about the guards.","**The Pharisees' reasoning** The Pharisees did not believe Jesus would rise on the third day. They knew that Jesus had prophesied it would happen, and they wanted to prevent anyone from believing the prophecy had been fulfilled through deception on the part of the disciples (by stealing the body). The Pharisees did not simply want to kill Jesus, they wanted to destroy His movement. Having Him put to death by crucifixion would be humiliating, and having Him put to death *by Rome* would intimate that His teachings were opposed by the might of Rome. The slow, tortuous death by crucifixion also afforded ample opportunity to mock Him as He suffered (see Matthew 27:39-43). They realized that if Jesus were thought to have risen from the dead, it could further strengthen His movement (it did). This is what is meant by ""This last deception will be worse than the first"". If the Pharisees genuinely believed Jesus was the Son God who would conquer death...of course they wouldn't have posted a guard! What chance would the guards have against the power of God? It was because the Pharisees *did not believe* in Jesus that the posting of the guard (to prevent theft of the body) made sense in their twisted, doubting minds. -- **The disciples' struggle to believe** That the promised Messiah would be put to death by Rome, rather than conquering Rome, was so foreign to contemporary thought that many of Jesus' followers genuinely entertained doubts when they saw Jesus arrested and put to death. Forasmuch as He had told Him it would happen, they were shocked and grieving. It is not that the Pharisees understood Jesus' prophecy and the disciples did not, rather: * The Pharisees didn't believe in Jesus before He died and still didn't believe after He died * The disciples did believe in Jesus before He died and were struggling to believe after He died -- **The apologetic value of the story of the guards** Posting a guard at a tomb was not standard practice; it was specifically to prevent the theft of Jesus' body--which the Pharisees realized could fuel Jesus' movement--that guards were posted in this case. Although the Pharisees did believe in the resurrection (the Sadducees did not), they believed it would happen only at the end of the world, and certainly not begin in their own lifetimes. As William Lane Craig (and others) have pointed out, the argument between the Pharisees and the believers in Christ presupposes the empty tomb: > > Christian: 'The Lord is risen!' > > > Jew: 'No, his disciples stole away his body.' > > > Christian: 'The guard at the tomb would have prevented any such > theft.' > > > Jew: 'No, his disciples stole away his body while the guard slept.' > > > Christian: 'The chief priests bribed the guard to say this.' ([source](https://www.reasonablefaith.org/writings/scholarly-writings/historical-jesus/the-guard-at-the-tomb)) > > > As Craig further points out: > > The sleeping of the guard could only have been a Jewish development, as it would serve no purpose to the Christian polemic (*ibid*) > > > The argument would have never progressed this far unless both sides agreed: 1. The tomb was empty & 2. There was a guard posted The Pharisees had no reason to agree to those points unless they were incontrovertibly true. -- **The reliability of Matthew** My work on the Synoptic Problem & the authorship of the Gospels leads me decisively to the conclusion that the Gospel of Matthew was written in or near Judea within a few years of Easter. If this is true, Matthew's defense of the resurrection would be ineffective--as his evidence could be easily rebutted by people who were there and knew what really happened--unless the claims he made about the tomb & guards were actually true. This is why the account of the guards is found only in Matthew--Matthew's audience (in/near Judea) has the ability to fact check this part of the story. Mark's audience in Rome, Luke's audience in Greece, and John's audience in Ephesus, would have no ability to validate the story about the guards, so the account about the guards would at best be a distraction from the main point they were trying to make. But for Matthew, writing to the local population, the story about the guards was potent, verifiable evidence of the veracity of his claims. The Jewish leaders had every incentive in the world to produce a crucified body and squash the nascent Christian movement. The fact that they were unable to do so stands resolutely in favor of the view that Jesus really was buried in a tomb and the tomb really was found empty a few days later. Matthew could only get away with his claims about the empty tomb & the guards if: 1. Everybody in the area knew it was true OR 2. The text was written so long after the fact that the people familiar with the events were dead. This is why atheists work so hard to claim that the Gospel of Matthew was written a generation or more after Easter. For my work demonstrating that the Gospel of Matthew was written by the apostle Matthew well within the lifetime and geographic reach of eyewitnesses, see this video series: [Who When & Why - the Writing of the Gospels](https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLGACqQS4ut5iFeKqqvQPK_dzMnjF7NBhw)" 92034,"The gospel of Matthew records that after Jesus’ death, the Pharisees and teachers of the Law went to Pilate to ask for a guard, since they remembered that Jesus said he would rise again on the third day. > > “The next day, the one after Preparation Day, the chief priests and the Pharisees went to Pilate. “Sir,” they said, “we remember that while he was still alive that deceiver said, ‘After three days I will rise again.’ So give the order for the tomb to be made secure until the third day.

They identified Jesus of Nazareth as the Christ, and wanted him dead. Once dead, they where concerned an event would happen. They likely where unsure what exactly would happen. Jesus mentioned he would raise up the Temple in three days, and the statement confused them. But they would have known the Christ would be cut off, yet live. 1. Though the birth of the Christ can't be predicted from reading the Prophets, his approximate lifespan can be identified in advance. 2. All Jerusalem was disturbed at the arrival of the Magi. It was now known the Christ was born, his family and location identified. At his birth, Joseph had registered with the tax and cencus, as being of the House of David. 3. Jesus opened the eyes of the blind. A sign. 4. He healed lepers, and instructed them to present themselves to the Priest. The Priest where required to preform the Offering for the Leper in the Day of His Cleansing. Never before preformed by the Priesthood, it was a sign. 5. He raised the dead. 6. The leaders could predict the Christ's entry into the Temple to an approximate one hour window. 7. When examined by the Priest, Jesus told the leaders in person, the Parable of the Husband Men. He stated the men knew who the Heir was, planned to kill him, and seize the inheritance. The leaders listened and understood Jesus was referring to them. These are only a few selected items of evidence condemning the leaders of the people. They understood they were killing the Christ. The Christ was not a mere mortal, as the Son of God, he is simply not going to stay in a tomb. He would not see corruption, as foretold of the Holy One. The Sign of Jonah was mentioned to the leaders, as a Sign to their generation, just as Jonah was dead for three days and three nights.

Is it necessarily isomorphic to a tensor product of irreducible representation of $G$ and $H$? If not what is a counter-example, and under what extra assumptions this is known to be true? Remark. I think for continuous representations of compact groups this is true.",2022/12/11,"['https://mathoverflow.net/questions/436326', 'https://mathoverflow.net', 'https://mathoverflow.net/users/16183/']","If your groups are finite, then Andy’s [answer](https://mathoverflow.net/a/436339/2383) is perfectly fine. If you want to do topological groups you must be slightly (but not much) more careful. First since we are dealing with finite dimensional representations, algebraic and topological reducibility are the same. It is enough to prove that your irreducible representation decomposes as a tensor product in the case of discrete groups. For if it is isomorphic to one of the form $U\otimes V$, then since the linear isomorphism is continuous, it is enough to observe that restricting the original representation to $G$ gives $\dim V$ copies of $U$ and restricting to $H$ gives $\dim U$ copies of $V$ and so $U$ and $V$ must give continuous representations of $G$, $H$. So we may assume that $G$, $H$ are discrete and we are dealing with no topology. Then replacing $G$, $H$ with their group algebras and $\mathbb C$ by algebras over an algebraically closed field, it suffices to show that if $A$, $B$ are $K$-algebras with $K$ algebraically closed, then any finite dimensional irreducible representation of $A\otimes B$ is equivalent to a tensor product of irreducible representations of $A$ and $B$. But the image of $A$ and $B$ under any finite dimensional representation is a finite dimensional algebra and so without loss of generality we may assume that $A$, $B$ are finite dimensional. The crux of the matter, which is basically Andy’s proof in different words, is the special case that $A,B$ are matrix algebras over $K$. Then $M\_n(K)\otimes M\_m(K)\cong M\_{nm}(K)$ and the isomorphism intertwines the actions on $K^n\otimes K^m\cong K^{nm}$. Thus in the case $A$, $B$ are matrix algebras then the unique $A\otimes B$ irreducible rep is the tensor product of the unique irreducible $A$ and $B$ reps. Since arbitrary semisimple algebras over an algebraically closed field are finite direct products of matrix algebras and tensor product distributes over direct product, this handles the case $A$, $B$ are semisimple and also shows that $A\otimes B$ is semisimple in this case. $\DeclareMathOperator\rad{rad}$If $A$, $B$ are general finite dimensional $K$-algebras with $K$-algebraically closed, then $A/{\rad(A)}\otimes B/{\rad(B)}$ is semisimple by the above. Moreover, the kernel of the natural map $A\otimes B\to A/{\rad(A)}\otimes B/{\rad(B)}$ is easily checked to be $A\otimes \rad(B)+\rad(A)\otimes B$, which is a nilpotent ideal. Thus $(A\otimes B)/{\rad(A\otimes B)}\cong A/{\rad(A)}\otimes B/{\rad(B)}$ and so the desired result that irreducible reps are tensor products follows since $C$ and $C/{\rad(C)}$ have the same irreducible reps for any $K$-algebra $C$. **Simpler proof** Here is an argument along the line of Andy's that works for arbitrary groups or even algebras that avoids the radical and just uses Burnside's theorem that a finite dimensional representation of a $K$-algebra over an algebraically closed field $K$ is irreducible if and only if it is surjective. Let $A,B$ be $K$-algebras (not necessarily finite dimensional) with $K$-algebraically closed (they could be group algebras) and let $W$ be a finite dimensional irreducible $A\otimes B$-module. Let $U$ be an irreducible $A$-subrepresentation of $W$. Then the sum $S$ of all irreducible $A$-submodules of $W$ isomorphic to $U$ is invariant under any $A$-enomorphism of $W$ and hence under $B$ as the $B$-action commutes with $A$. Hence $S$ is $A\otimes B$-invariant and so $S=W$ by irreducibility. Thus $W\cong U^m$ for some $m$ as an $A$-module (this is a standard argument). Thus, up to isomorphism, we may assume that $W=U\otimes V$ with $V$ a vector space of dimension $m$ and where $A$ acts via matrices of the form $\rho(a)\otimes 1$ where $\rho$ is the irreducible representation associated to $U$. By Burnside, $\rho$ is onto $End\_k(U)$. But since $End\_K(U\otimes V)= End\_k(U)\otimes End\_k(V)$, it follows that the centralizer of $End\_K(U)\otimes 1$ in $End\_K(W)$ is $1\otimes End\_k(V)$. Since the action of $B$ commutes with that of $A$, as a representation of $B$, we have $W$ is of the form $b\mapsto 1\otimes \psi(b)$ for some representation $\psi$ of $B$ on $V$. Clearly, if $V$ is not irreducible, then neither is $U\otimes V$ and so we are done.","Most books on the representation theory of finite groups prove this using character theory. This is an efficient way of proving it, but I think it doesn’t give much insight into why it is true (and what other settings it generalizes to).

Does this also apply to the ISO standards ([example, costs CHF 158](https://www.iso.org/standard/30669.html))? For example, could one re-write the standards in one's own words and sell them in competition with ISO? Or is there something that would prevent this, perhaps something like [Copyright in compilation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copyright_in_compilation)?",2022/09/15,"['https://law.stackexchange.com/questions/84358', 'https://law.stackexchange.com', 'https://law.stackexchange.com/users/41938/']","Expression vs Idea ------------------ > > As I understand it, copyright applies to creative expression and not for examples rules of games. > > > That is not correct as stated. Game rule, or more exactly the fixed expression of a set of game rule (what one finds in the package of a commercial game, or in a book such as *Hoyle's Rules of Games*, can be and usually are protected by copyright. What is **not** protected is the **ideas** expressed in a set of rules. These are sometimes called ""game mechanics"". For example it is a rule of bridge that 13 cards are dealt to each of 4 players. That is a fact, and so is not protected by copyright. But the exact wording of the official *Laws of Duplicate Bridge* is protected. ### ""creativity"" vs ""originality"" Many things that might not be considered very creative are protected. US Copyright law calls not for creativity, but for an **original work**. The concepts of ""creativity"" and ""originality"" have a significant overlap, but are not at all the same. For example, a person might watch a baseball game and write down play-by-play account of it. That might not be very creative, but it would still be protected by copyright. But the event of the game are facts, and not protected. Someone else might describe the same game in different words, covering the same facts, and that would not be copyright infringement. Another example. A person writes a scientific paper describing in detail a series of chemical experiments and the results obtained. That is not very creative (although the design of the experiments might be). It would, however, be protected by copyright. But the facts and ideas would not be protected. Another person could desacribe the same experiments in different words, and that would not be an infringement of copyright. ### Merger Doctrine In extreme cases, such as a basic recipe, there is no expression temperate from the facts. In such a case the [""merger doctrine""](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idea%E2%80%93expression_distinction#Merger_doctrine) applies, and there is no copyright protection at all. Standards --------- Standards, such as ISO standards, are normally protected by copyright. But the ideas expressed in them are not. And since standards are highly factual, the protection afforded to them is particularly narrow. But when one is testing compliance with a standard, the exact words of the standard may be important. A compliance officer is not likely to accept a paraphrase as a valid substitute. ### Standards in Laws The actual text of laws (and regulations), however (Federal, state, or local) is never protected by copyright. All are in the public domain. So when a law incorporated and reprints a standard, as is often done with fire and building codes, anyone may freely reproduce the codes as set down as part of law, even through the code has been copyrighted and indeed registered, as long as the source is the text of an enacted law or regulation.","“In your own words” would be fine. Trouble might come from another source. If you make people believe that the contents of your document is equivalent to a standard, but it isn’t, that could be a problem.

The UK data protection body in charge of enforcing the laws in Britain says in their guidelines that they're seeking clarification ([see my answer here](https://webmasters.stackexchange.com/questions/14473/google-analytics-and-the-eu-cookie-directive-who-will-fall-foul-of-the-law-goog/14478#14478)), but until then, we don't know whether we'll have to ask permission to use third-party cookies from Google Analytics, for example. ### Might the laws cripple EU websites? If it turns out that the new laws require European webmasters to ask each visitor's permission to use third-party cookies, this will affect a lot of websites and render analytics, affiliate systems, usability testing, and even video embedding from third-parties (many of which use cookies) unusable or far less effective. It will also require many site owners who otherwise wouldn't have had to issue a request to store cookies to suddenly do so, drop the services, or seek cookie-less alternatives. ### Does the directive apply to services hosted outside of the EU? Related to the above, if I run a business from the UK but run a blog on a hosted service outside the EU that makes use of 'unnecessary' cookies, must I rebuild my theme to request permission to use them? If so, will the service be prepared to provide this functionality? If not, do I have to migrate my blog elsewhere? These questions are yet to be answered. ### How best to obtain permission? The new directive exists to ensure that people without technical knowledge have the same control over their privacy as more technical users. It does this by turning an opt-out system (""here's a cookie, you can always vomit it up if you don't want it"") into an opt-in system (""would you like a cookie? here's what's in it...""). The new laws are great for consumers, welcomed by privacy groups, more closely aligned with opt-in email and permission marketing conduct, and in line with the sentiment expressed by movements like [Do Not Track,](http://blog.sidstamm.com/2011/01/opting-out-of-behavioral-ads.html) which hope to block information harvesting techniques employed by behavioural ad networks. The trouble is that opt-in systems carry more interface overhead than opt-out ones, because a request for permission has to be made to every user. Article 66 of the directive says: > > ""The methods of pro­viding information and offering the right to refuse should > be as user-friendly as possible."" > > > Unfortunately, they leave the actual method as an exercise for the reader. This is probably a good thing, because having the method dictated might make implementing the law even more painful. That said, it still raises a lot of questions about the best way to gain consent. The ICO has stepped in to offer a list of six methods to request cookies ([see page 6](http://www.ico.gov.uk/news/current_topics/%7E/media/documents/library/Privacy_and_electronic/Practical_application/advice_on_the_new_cookies_regulations.ashx)). They admit that no solution is ideal: 1. **Pop ups** (ugly - see [this discussion](https://ux.stackexchange.com/q/7318/5124) - and often ignored by users) 2. **New terms and conditions** (users must explicitly agree to them before using the site) 3. **Settings-led consent** (good for visual customisation, not so good for analytics) 4. **Feature-led consent** (still have to make users aware that cookies are in use) 5. **Functional uses** (they suggest a permanent 'permissions' area with notifications) 6. **Via third parties** (but they don't know how the laws apply yet) Since there's no 'one solution fits all' approach to request permission to store cookies, each site owner has to come up with their own way of doing it. Because no real thought has been given to standardising the request format or presenting a common look and feel, we're likely to see a hodge-podge of different pop ups and implementations. ### Shouldn't browsers be handling this? The ideal scenario might be to delegate all of this to the browser, but controls for cookies aren't mature enough and, even if browser updates brought granular cookie support, we'd still have to accommodate older browsers, which makes some kind of in-page request inevitable. ### Does it present a commercial disadvantage? The new privacy laws might make EU Web services less attractive than US ones. As Nick Halsted of TweetMeme says: > > ""If you go to two websites with identical functionality and one of them asks you to sign a big scary box that says ‘I am tracking everything about you’, and the U.S. one doesn’t, which one are you going to sign up for?""

What's more, if it turns out that EU businesses can't use Google Analytics et al without permission from each visitor (when US businesses can), isn't that a competitive disadvantage too? The US already has a thriving start-up community and funding ecosystem.

Then I was plotting those data to check the trajectory of training and validation accuracy or loss. Yesterday, I read [this link](https://www.tutorialspoint.com/deep_learning_with_keras/deep_learning_with_keras_evaluating_model_performance.htm). Here, they used `model.evaluate()` to plot the accuracy metric.

Their data should be exactly the same. Evaluate -------- The `evaluate` method is **not a log**. It's a method that you call **any time you want**, and will output a **single value** for each loss and metric you have in `compile` for the ""current"" model. This is not registered anywhere during training, and this should usually **not be called during training**, unless you create a custom training loop and manually call `evaluate` inside this loop every epoch (this is unnecessary and inconvenient for standard use). You can use `evaluate` with **any data you want**, including data that was neither in training nor validation data. The link you shared ------------------- Notice that what they plot is `history`, and `history` is the output of `fit`. It has nothing to do with `evaluate`. ``` plot.plot(history.history['acc']) plot.plot(history.history['val_acc']) ``` See in the previous page of the link: ``` history = model.fit(...) ``` The link doesn't show exactly ""where"" they call evaluate, and they're probably doing it ""only once after training"", just to see the final results of the model (not a log of the training)" 23314041,"Actionscript to use Math.random what will this mean Right = 6 + Math.random() \* 2; I know Math.random is between 0-0.99... but will it come out (6 - 7)?",2014/04/26,"['https://Stackoverflow.com/questions/23314041', 'https://Stackoverflow.com', 'https://Stackoverflow.com/users/3281613/']","`Math.random()` returns a number greater or equal to 0 and less than 1.0, i.e. `0 <= Math.random() < 1.0` If we multiply this with `b` then we get a number greater or equal to 0 and less than b, i.e. `(0 * b) <= (Math.random() * b) < (1.0 * b)` or `0 <= (Math.random() * b) < b` If we add `a` with this then we get a number greater or equal to `a` and less than `a + b`, i.e. `(a + 0) <= (a + Math.random() * b) < (a + b)` or `a <= (a + Math.random() * b) < (a + b)` So, `6 + Math.random() * 2` returns a number greater or equal to 6 and less than 8.

            ```" 28595,"### Introduction When building an electronics project, a schematic may call for a resistor of an unusual value (say, 510 ohms). You check your parts bin and find that you have no 510-ohm resistors. But you do have many common values above and below this value. By combining resistors in parallel and series, you should be able to approximate the 510-ohm resistor fairly well. ### Task You must write a function or program which accepts a list of resistor values (resistors you stock) and a target value (which you aim to approximate). The program must consider: * Individual resistors * Two resistors in series * Two resistors in parallel The program should compute all possible combinations of 1 and 2 resistors from the stock list (including two copies of the same resistor value), compute their series and parallel resistance, then sort the configurations according to how well they approximate the target value. The output format should be one configuration per line, with a `+` denoting series and `|` denoting parallel, and some space or an = sign before the net resistance. ### Formulas * The resistance of one resistor is `R1` * The net resistance of two resistors in series is `R1 + R2` * The net resistance of two resistors in parallel is `1 / (1/R1 + 1/R2)` * The distance between an approximated resistance value and the target value can be calculated as pseudo-logarithmic distance, not linear distance: `dist = abs(Rapprox / Rtarget - 1)`. For example, 200 is closer to 350 than it is to 100. * A better distance measure is true logarithmic distance `dist = abs(log(Rapprox/Rtarget))`, but since this was not specified in the original question, you are free to use either measurement. ### Scoring Score is measured in characters of code, per usual golf rules. Lowest score wins. ### Example We have the following resistors in stock `[100, 150, 220, 330, 470, 680, 1000, 1500, 2200, 3300, 4700]` and wish to target `510` ohms. The program should output 143 configurations, approximately as shown (you can change the format, but make sure the meaning is easily determined): ``` 680 | 2200 519.444 1000 | 1000 500. 150 + 330 480. 220 + 330 550. 470 470 680 | 1500 467.89 680 | 3300 563.819 100 + 470 570. 220 + 220 440. 100 + 330 430. 470 | 4700 427.273 680 | 4700 594.052 1000 | 1500 600. 470 | 3300 411.406 680 | 1000 404.762 150 + 470 620. ... many more rows ... 2200 + 4700 6900. 3300 + 4700 8000. 4700 + 4700 9400. ``` In this example, the best approximation of 510 ohms is given by 680- and 2200-ohm resistors in parallel. **Best of each language so far (1 June 2014):** 1.

You check your parts bin and find that you have no 510-ohm resistors. But you do have many common values above and below this value. By combining resistors in parallel and series, you should be able to approximate the 510-ohm resistor fairly well. ### Task You must write a function or program which accepts a list of resistor values (resistors you stock) and a target value (which you aim to approximate). The program must consider: * Individual resistors * Two resistors in series * Two resistors in parallel The program should compute all possible combinations of 1 and 2 resistors from the stock list (including two copies of the same resistor value), compute their series and parallel resistance, then sort the configurations according to how well they approximate the target value. The output format should be one configuration per line, with a `+` denoting series and `|` denoting parallel, and some space or an = sign before the net resistance. ### Formulas * The resistance of one resistor is `R1` * The net resistance of two resistors in series is `R1 + R2` * The net resistance of two resistors in parallel is `1 / (1/R1 + 1/R2)` * The distance between an approximated resistance value and the target value can be calculated as pseudo-logarithmic distance, not linear distance: `dist = abs(Rapprox / Rtarget - 1)`. For example, 200 is closer to 350 than it is to 100. * A better distance measure is true logarithmic distance `dist = abs(log(Rapprox/Rtarget))`, but since this was not specified in the original question, you are free to use either measurement. ### Scoring Score is measured in characters of code, per usual golf rules. Lowest score wins. ### Example We have the following resistors in stock `[100, 150, 220, 330, 470, 680, 1000, 1500, 2200, 3300, 4700]` and wish to target `510` ohms.

You check your parts bin and find that you have no 510-ohm resistors. But you do have many common values above and below this value. By combining resistors in parallel and series, you should be able to approximate the 510-ohm resistor fairly well. ### Task You must write a function or program which accepts a list of resistor values (resistors you stock) and a target value (which you aim to approximate). The program must consider: * Individual resistors * Two resistors in series * Two resistors in parallel The program should compute all possible combinations of 1 and 2 resistors from the stock list (including two copies of the same resistor value), compute their series and parallel resistance, then sort the configurations according to how well they approximate the target value. The output format should be one configuration per line, with a `+` denoting series and `|` denoting parallel, and some space or an = sign before the net resistance. ### Formulas * The resistance of one resistor is `R1` * The net resistance of two resistors in series is `R1 + R2` * The net resistance of two resistors in parallel is `1 / (1/R1 + 1/R2)` * The distance between an approximated resistance value and the target value can be calculated as pseudo-logarithmic distance, not linear distance: `dist = abs(Rapprox / Rtarget - 1)`. For example, 200 is closer to 350 than it is to 100. * A better distance measure is true logarithmic distance `dist = abs(log(Rapprox/Rtarget))`, but since this was not specified in the original question, you are free to use either measurement. ### Scoring Score is measured in characters of code, per usual golf rules. Lowest score wins. ### Example We have the following resistors in stock `[100, 150, 220, 330, 470, 680, 1000, 1500, 2200, 3300, 4700]` and wish to target `510` ohms. The program should output 143 configurations, approximately as shown (you can change the format, but make sure the meaning is easily determined): ``` 680 | 2200 519.444 1000 | 1000 500. 150 + 330 480. 220 + 330 550. 470 470 680 | 1500 467.89 680 | 3300 563.819 100 + 470 570. 220 + 220 440. 100 + 330 430. 470 | 4700 427.273 680 | 4700 594.052 1000 | 1500 600. 470 | 3300 411.406 680 | 1000 404.762 150 + 470 620. ... many more rows ... 2200 + 4700 6900. 3300 + 4700 8000. 4700 + 4700 9400. ``` In this example, the best approximation of 510 ohms is given by 680- and 2200-ohm resistors in parallel. **Best of each language so far (1 June 2014):** 1.

S(100), S(150) ... * Combine `s///ee` with `grep` to evaluate the equivalent resistances and filter out unwanted repeats (performed by `(??{$2<$3})` and `/\d$/` * `sort` by fitness computed in subroutine `t` ### Changes in new code * Avoid use of `s///ee`, use shorter regex with conditional checking and `eval` inside `grep` * Replace repeats of `""{@i}"" with`$i` * Introduce `$x`, `$y` instead of `$2`, `$3` * Replace `split/=/,pop` with `$_[0]=~s!!!r` * No need for trailing `;` * `eval;` is equivalent to `eval $_;` * Add `=` along with `eval`-ed answer instead of declaring it up front ### Output: `P` represents resistors in parallel, `S` represents resistors in series. ``` P(2200,680)=519.444444444444 P(1000,1000)=500 S(330,150)=480 S(330,220)=550 S(470)=470 P(1500,680)=467.889908256881 P(3300,680)=563.819095477387 S(470,100)=570 S(220,220)=440 S(330,100)=430 P(4700,470)=427.272727272727 P(4700,680)=594.052044609665 P(1500,1000)=600 P(3300,470)=411.405835543767 P(1000,680)=404.761904761905 S(470,150)=620 P(2200,470)=387.265917602996 S(220,150)=370 S(330,330)=660 P(1500,470)=357.868020304569 S(680)=680 P(680,680)=340 P(2200,1000)=687.5 S(330)=330 S(470,220)=690 S(220,100)=320 P(1000,470)=319.727891156463 P(4700,330)=308.349900596421 S(150,150)=300 P(3300,330)=300 P(2200,330)=286.95652173913 P(680,470)=277.913043478261 P(1500,330)=270.491803278689 P(1500,1500)=750 P(3300,1000)=767.441860465116 S(150,100)=250 P(1000,330)=248.12030075188 S(680,100)=780 P(470,470)=235 P(680,330)=222.178217821782 S(470,330)=800 S(220)=220 P(4700,220)=210.162601626016 P(3300,220)=206.25 S(100,100)=200 P(2200,220)=200 P(4700,1000)=824.561403508772 P(470,330)=193.875 P(1500,220)=191.860465116279 S(680,150)=830 P(1000,220)=180.327868852459 P(680,220)=166.222222222222 P(330,330)=165 S(150)=150 P(470,220)=149.855072463768 P(4700,150)=145.360824742268 P(3300,150)=143.478260869565 P(2200,150)=140.425531914894 P(1500,150)=136.363636363636 P(330,220)=132 P(1000,150)=130.434782608696 P(2200,1500)=891.891891891892 P(680,150)=122.89156626506 S(680,220)=900 P(470,150)=113.709677419355 P(220,220)=110 P(330,150)=103.125 S(100)=100 P(4700,100)=97.9166666666667 P(3300,100)=97.0588235294118 P(2200,100)=95.6521739130435 P(1500,100)=93.75 P(1000,100)=90.9090909090909 P(220,150)=89.1891891891892 P(680,100)=87.1794871794872 P(470,100)=82.4561403508772 S(470,470)=940 P(330,100)=76.7441860465116 P(150,150)=75 P(220,100)=68.75 P(150,100)=60 P(100,100)=50 S(1000)=1000 S(680,330)=1010 P(3300,1500)=1031.25 S(1000,100)=1100 P(2200,2200)=1100 P(4700,1500)=1137.09677419355 S(680,470)=1150 S(1000,150)=1150 S(1000,220)=1220 P(3300,2200)=1320 S(1000,330)=1330 S(680,680)=1360 S(1000,470)=1470 P(4700,2200)=1498.55072463768 S(1500)=1500 S(1500,100)=1600 S(1500,150)=1650 P(3300,3300)=1650 S(1000,680)=1680 S(1500,220)=1720 S(1500,330)=1830 P(4700,3300)=1938.75 S(1500,470)=1970 S(1000,1000)=2000 S(1500,680)=2180 S(2200)=2200 S(2200,100)=2300 S(2200,150)=2350 P(4700,4700)=2350 S(2200,220)=2420 S(1500,1000)=2500 S(2200,330)=2530 S(2200,470)=2670 S(2200,680)=2880 S(1500,1500)=3000 S(2200,1000)=3200 S(3300)=3300 S(3300,100)=3400 S(3300,150)=3450 S(3300,220)=3520 S(3300,330)=3630 S(2200,1500)=3700 S(3300,470)=3770 S(3300,680)=3980 S(3300,1000)=4300 S(2200,2200)=4400 S(4700)=4700 S(3300,1500)=4800 S(4700,100)=4800 S(4700,150)=4850 S(4700,220)=4920 S(4700,330)=5030 S(4700,470)=5170 S(4700,680)=5380 S(3300,2200)=5500 S(4700,1000)=5700 S(4700,1500)=6200 S(3300,3300)=6600 S(4700,2200)=6900 S(4700,3300)=8000 S(4700,4700)=9400 ```" 28595,"### Introduction When building an electronics project, a schematic may call for a resistor of an unusual value (say, 510 ohms). You check your parts bin and find that you have no 510-ohm resistors. But you do have many common values above and below this value. By combining resistors in parallel and series, you should be able to approximate the 510-ohm resistor fairly well. ### Task You must write a function or program which accepts a list of resistor values (resistors you stock) and a target value (which you aim to approximate). The program must consider: * Individual resistors * Two resistors in series * Two resistors in parallel The program should compute all possible combinations of 1 and 2 resistors from the stock list (including two copies of the same resistor value), compute their series and parallel resistance, then sort the configurations according to how well they approximate the target value. The output format should be one configuration per line, with a `+` denoting series and `|` denoting parallel, and some space or an = sign before the net resistance. ### Formulas * The resistance of one resistor is `R1` * The net resistance of two resistors in series is `R1 + R2` * The net resistance of two resistors in parallel is `1 / (1/R1 + 1/R2)` * The distance between an approximated resistance value and the target value can be calculated as pseudo-logarithmic distance, not linear distance: `dist = abs(Rapprox / Rtarget - 1)`. For example, 200 is closer to 350 than it is to 100. * A better distance measure is true logarithmic distance `dist = abs(log(Rapprox/Rtarget))`, but since this was not specified in the original question, you are free to use either measurement. ### Scoring Score is measured in characters of code, per usual golf rules. Lowest score wins. ### Example We have the following resistors in stock `[100, 150, 220, 330, 470, 680, 1000, 1500, 2200, 3300, 4700]` and wish to target `510` ohms.

It has a `recordcount`property as all datasets do and it also has the `FetchAll` property (which I think it is called `packedrecords` on `clientdatasets`). Said that, I got a few questions: 1 - If I set `FetchAll = True` the `recordcount` property returns ok. But in this case, when I have a large database and my query returns a lot of lines, sometimes the memory grows a lot (because it is fetching all data to get the `recordcount` of course). 2 - If I set `FetchAll = False`, the `recordcount` returns -1 and the memory does not grow. But I really need the recordcount. And I also wanna create a generic function for this, so I dont have to change all my existent queries. What can I do to have the `recordcount` working and the memory usage of the application low in this case? Please, do not post that I dont need recordcount (or that I should use EOF and BOF) because I really do and this is not the question.

Strings are a sequence of bytes that can contain anything. Knowing the encoding of the data in the string matters, though. I use Lua with [UTF-8 strings](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UTF-8), which just works for all the operations I care about. I do not use any Unicode string library, though those are available for Lua ([ICU4Lua](http://luaforge.net/projects/icu-lua/), [slnunicode](http://luaforge.net/projects/sln/), etc.). Some notes about using UTF-8 strings in Lua: * String length (# operator) returns the string length in bytes, not characters or codepoints (non-ASCII characters may be sequences of multiple bytes). * String splitting (e.g. string.sub) must not split up UTF-8 sequences. * String matching works (string.find, string.match) fine with ASCII patterns. * Substring searching (such as string.find in 'plain' mode) works with UTF-8 as the needle or the haystack. Counting codepoints in UTF-8 is quite straightforward, if slightly less efficient than other encodings. For example in Lua: ``` function utf8_length(str) return select(2, string.gsub(str, ""[^\128-\193]"", """")); end ``` If you need more than this kind of thing, the unicode libraries I mentioned give you APIs for everything, including conversion between encodings.

In my experience they only cause headaches and performance bottlenecks. In any case, I think every developer should have a good basic understanding of how unicode works, and the principle differences between different encodings so that they can make the best choice about how to handle unicode in their application. For example if all your existing strings in your application are in a wide-char encoding, it would be much less convenient to use Lua as you would have to add a conversion to every string in and out of Lua.

Also, I thought about Python, but I don't like It's syntax, and it's Dll is too big for me ( about 2.5 Mib). Python and other such langs have too much functions, battaries and modules which i do not need (e.g. I/O functions) - script just need to implement logic, all other will do my app. So, I'd like to know is there a scripting lang, which satisfies this conditions: * unicode strings * I can import C++ functions and then call them from script * Can be embedded to app (no dll's) without any problems Reinventing the wheel is not a good idea, so I don't want to develop my own lang. Or there is a way to write unicode strings in Lua's source?

So, yes, you can write unicode strings in Lua scripts. If you need pattern matching, then the standard Lua string library does not support unicode classes. But plain substring search works.","Take look at [Jim Tcl](http://jim.tcl.tk). It's small, easily embeddable and extendable, supports UTF-8 strings, and it's pretty powerful"
