Just saw the Deadpool movie (amazing movie). Before watching this movie, I was sure he would have the same abilities as Weapon XI (from X-Men Origins: Wolverine).       Stryker activates a mouth-sewn Wade, now known as Weapon XI, a "mutant   killer" with the powers of multiple mutants, who he refers to as the   "Deadpool."   Why is this Deadpool totally different from Weapon XI (no adamantium claws, no energy beam from eyes)?
At the beginning of  we see that Logan (a.k.a. Wolverine) and Colonel William Stryker were working together by the end of the Vietnam War.   For 5 years after the war, he lives in Canada with a girlfriend. But in  we see that Logan was part of some gang at the end of the Vietnam War.   My question is which of these are X-Men movie canon?
What is the new turbo boost in the MacBook line? The new MacBook line has a new turbo boost added to the processor:     2.3GHz Quad-core Intel Core i7, Turbo Boost up to 3.3GHz   What exactly does this mean? From what I've heard, the processor can runs above the clocked speed for a short period of time.  How does it work?

How to call a function in a Twig file Let's say I create a function in a module file:  function _get_test() {   return 'test'; }   How can I call this in any Twig file? For example *.html.twig, page.html.twig, node.html.twig etc.   OR   How can I pass a variable from PHP to Twig and display in any Twig file.  For example *.html.twig, page.html.twig, node.html.twig etc. When is the image of a linear operator (between Banach spaces) closed? Probability for roots of quadratic equation to be real, with coefficients being dice rolls. I really need help with this question.     The coefficients $a,b,c$ of the quadratic equation $ax^2+bx+c=0$ are determined by throwing $3$ dice and reading off the value shown on the uppermost face of each die, so that the first die gives $a$, the second $b$ and and third $c$. Find the probabilities that the roots the equations are real, complex and equal.   I was thinking about using the fundamental formula but i'm not sure how to go about doing it. Help would be greatly appreciated. Is it common to use "where" after "a time" as a relative? I heard the following comment of Mr. Marco Rubio about Mr. Donald Trump on CBS’s “Face the Nation” in a clip in February 29th AP Radio News:  “There is never gonna be a time where the Republican Party rallies around and says you have to get out or anyone has to get out for purposes of rallying around Donald Trump. Donald Trump is not Republican Conservative. Donald Trump is trying to pull off the biggest scam in American political history.”  I thought I misheard “There is never gonna be a time where –“ for “There is never gonna be a time when –“ at first, because I was in understanding that time should be trailed by “when” as a relative noun or adverb. An English Japanese dictionary at hand (Readers English Japanese Dictionary published by Kenkyusha) provides “where” singly as a relative to refer the ‘place.’ However, my lookup of the following two sources endorsed that I heard it right:  Here is what is never going to happen in this race. There's never going to be a time where the Republican Party rallies around and says you have to get out or anyone has to get out for purposes of rallying around Donald..  “Here is what is never going to happen,” Rubio continued. “There's never going to be a time where the Republican Party rallies around and says you have to get out or anyone has to ...   Is it common, at least not uncommon to use “where” after “time” as a relative? What happened to Charles Xavier after X-Men 3? I remember watching X-Men 3 and seeing Charles Xavier get disintegrated by Phoenix, however the post-credits scene and his appearance in later movies indicate that he actually survived. How is that possible? How do I make the method return type generic? Consider this example (typical in OOP books):    I have an Animal class, where each Animal can have many friends. And subclasses like Dog, Duck, Mouse etc which add specific behavior like bark(), quack() etc.  Here's the Animal class:  public class Animal {     private Map&lt;String,Animal&gt; friends = new HashMap&lt;&gt;();      public void addFriend(String name, Animal animal){         friends.put(name,animal);     }      public Animal callFriend(String name){         return friends.get(name);     } }   And here's some code snippet with lots of typecasting:  Mouse jerry = new Mouse(); jerry.addFriend("spike", new Dog()); jerry.addFriend("quacker", new Duck());  ((Dog) jerry.callFriend("spike")).bark(); ((Duck) jerry.callFriend("quacker")).quack();   Is there any way I can use generics for the return type to get rid of the typecasting, so that I can say      jerry.callFriend("spike").bark(); jerry.callFriend("quacker").quack();   Here's some initial code with return type conveyed to the method as a parameter that's never used.   public&lt;T extends Animal&gt; T callFriend(String name, T unusedTypeObj){     return (T)friends.get(name);         }   Is there a way to figure out the return type at runtime without the extra parameter using instanceof? Or at least by passing a class of the type instead of a dummy instance. I understand generics are for compile time type-checking, but is there a workaround for this? How can I make a deepcopy of a function in Python? I am a Pakistani national and need to transit through Dubai International Airport (DXB).  I am not planning to leave the airport and both of my flights (arrival and departure) are from Terminal 3.  I am pretty sure that I do not need transit visa at the DXB, however it is no where mentioned on any of their official website.   Can anyone please provide me such a link stating that transiting without leaving the airport does not require visa at DXB, as I need to use this link as a proof for a visa application?  Thanks I read on the :     Focal-length determines the angle-of-view seen through a lens for a   given sensor-size. With a full-frame sensor a lens gives the same   angle-of-view as it would on a 35mm film camera. With a smaller   sensor, the angle-of-view becomes smaller. The crop-factor, also   called FLM, is the ratio representing the difference in equivalent   focal-lengths. So a 150mm on a full-frame DSLR such as the Nikon D700   gives the same angle-of-view as a 100mm on a D7000 since its FLM is   1.5X.      Short focal-lengths show a greater angle-of-view compared to longer   ones. [...]   In layman's terms, what is angle-of-view? Is it the same as focal length? If not, how is it different? How is it used? Why do I need to know about it? CSS Transform Skew How can I rename many files at once? Why is Newton's first law necessary? Newton's second law says $F=ma$. Now if we put $F=0$ we get $a=0$ which is Newton's first law. So why do we need Newton's first law ?   Before asking I did some searching and I got this: Newtons first law is necessary to define inertial reference frame on which the second law can be applied.  But why can't we just use Newton's second law to define an inertial frame? So if $F=0$ but $a$ is not equal to 0 (or vice versa), the frame is non-inertial.  One can say (can one?) we cannot apply the second law to define a reference frame because it is only applicable to inertial frames. Thus unless we know in advance that a frame is inertial, we can't apply the second law.  But then why this is not the problem for the first law?  We don't need to know it in advance about the frame of reference to apply the first law. Because we take the first law as definition of an inertial reference frame.  Similarly if we take the second law as the definition of an inertial frame, it should not be necessary to know whether the frame is inertial or not to apply the second law (to check that the frame is inertial).

How to modify function argument? Hi I would like to know whether the trace of the inverse of a symmetric positive definite matrix $\mathrm{trace}(S^{-1})$ is convex.  Actually I know that the trace of a symmetric positive definite matrix $S\in M_{m,m}$ is convex since we can find $B\in M_{n,m}$ such that $S=B^T\times B$ then we can write the trace as the sum of scalar quadratic forms, i.e. $\mathrm{trace}(S)=\mathrm{trace}(B^T\times B)=\sum_{j=1}^mb_j^T\times b_j$ where $b_j$ is the $j^{th}$ column of $B$.  for instance if we have  $trace([\begin{array}{cc} 1 &amp; 2  \\ 3 &amp; 4  \\ \end{array}] \times [\begin{array}{cc} 1 &amp; 3  \\ 2 &amp; 4  \\ \end{array}])= [\begin{array}{cc} 1 &amp; 2  \\ \end{array}]\times [\begin{array}{c} 1   \\ 2   \\ \end{array}]+ [\begin{array}{cc} 3 &amp; 4  \\ \end{array}]\times [\begin{array}{c} 3   \\ 4   \\ \end{array}]=30$  And so I wonder if $\mathrm{trace}(S^{-1})$ is convex too.. Should a toggle button show its current state or the state to which it will change? I have a quick question about buttons that toggle between two states. (Think Play/Pause, or Shuffle/Regular Play.) As the title says, should the toggle show it's current state or the state to which it will transition?  I think people are used to the Play/Pause convention. But the Shuffle/Regular play might be more confusing if you show the transition state instead of current. For example, the built-in music player on the Xbox 360 does it this way: when it's in shuffle mode, it shows the icon for direct play and vice versa and it always confuses me (am I in shuffle mode or straight play).  I see it this way: Play/Pause is more like action as in begin playing or pause playing. Yes behind the scenes it is a state transition but to the user, there is an action. Whereas Shuffle/Straight Play is an option and it's best to show the current state (and possibly have only one icon and change button to show that the option is enabled/disabled). Thoughts?
