Instead of using  \usepackage{listings} ... lstinline{for} or \lstinline{while} or \lstinline{main} Here you \codeword{see} an \codeword{example} of \codeword{code}   how is it possible to define this syntax for inline-code, similar to Markdown:  Here you `see` an `example` of `code`   ?
On any SE post one can use the backtick symbol ("`") in order to mark some text as being a piece of code, or computer output. For example: void main().  Is there a way to make use of "`" the same way in a LaTeX document?
When I launch certain programs from the command line like eclipse and document viewer in 11.10 it spews a load of information that seems inconsequential.   Also when they are run in the background they sometimes continue to produce output to the terminal which I am currently working on, which is irritating.  I would like them just launch and keep the background stuff in the background. My reasoning is that if you launch these programs through the GUI (eg double clicking on an icon) these messages are never shown to me, so I don't need them in the command line. How to properly play .mkv files? I am having a problem while playing .mkv files. Every time I play a .mkv file, the audio can be heard but video cannot be seen. The only way to see the video if I actually right click on it or put a window in front of it and it displays one part of the video but not all.    The link of the picture above basically describes what I am saying. While I was trying to take the screenshot, the window for the screenshot disappeared and displayed part of the video. I hope someone could help me on this. Thank you!   EDIT: I was running Unity 2D when I have the problem but when I run Unity 3D, it works. So I need to make this work on 2D. Please help. How do I calculate the determinant of the following $n\times n$ matrices  $$\begin {bmatrix} 0 &amp; 1 &amp; \ldots &amp; 1 \\ 1 &amp; 0 &amp; \ldots &amp; 1 \\ \vdots &amp; \vdots &amp; \ddots &amp; \vdots \\ 1 &amp; 1 &amp; ... &amp; 0 \end {bmatrix}$$  and the same matrix but one of columns replaced only with $1$s?  In the  above matrix all off-diagonal elements are $1$ and diagonal elements are $0$. Default Class Accessibility in C# by default is a class:   private ? internal ?  sealed ? Multi-level wildcard DNS matched by *.domain.com? Q1: Does a DNS rule for *.domain.com match multi-level domain names? In other words, if I just set *.domain.com in my DNS records, will it match all of:  a.domain.com b.a.domain.com c.b.a.domain.com   as many levels deep as needed, with just that one wildcard DNS specifier?  We have a use case for multi-level DNS and I would like to confirm that we are doing the right thing in setting one wildcard DNS setting for the root domain.  Q2: will this work with round-robin DNS? Is it correct to use the word "birthday" for the deceased, or is there a better alternative? How does one refer to the birthdate of someone who is no more, we usually say  Today is my uncle's 80th birth anniversary (Common in Indian English, not sure if it's correct)  or  Today would have been my uncle's 80th birthday   Is it right to say  "Today is my uncle's 80th birthday" for an uncle who is dead? sed -i - edit files in place does not work in compound commandq VirtualBox not starting after kernel upgrade Yesterday I received a kernel upgrade and after reboot, VirtualBox stopped working.  Here is my system info (after kernel upgrade):  matteo@workstation:~$ cat /etc/lsb-release  DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu DISTRIB_RELEASE=16.04 DISTRIB_CODENAME=xenial DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS" matteo@workstation:~$ uname -a Linux workstation 4.4.0-116-generic #140-Ubuntu SMP Mon Feb 12 21:23:04 UTC 2018 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux   I installed VirtualBox long ago with  sudo apt install linux-headers-$(uname -r) sudo apt install virtualbox-dkms virtualbox virtualbox-qt   used on daily basis and never had problems with kernel updates.

Therfore I tried to remove the VirtualBox packeges from the Ubuntu repo, and install the latest 5.2 using . However, even after rebooting the machine, the error remains.  What can I do in this case? Compile gvim from sources? Is it possible to make the -init method private in Objective-C? I need to hide (make private) the -init method of my class in Objective-C.  How can I do that? Why can't a single photon produce an electron-positron pair? In reading through old course material, I found the assignment (my translation):     Show that a single photon cannot produce an electron-positron pair, but needs additional matter or light quanta.   My idea was to calculate the wavelength required to contain the required energy ($1.02$ MeV), which turned out to be $1.2\times 10^{-3}$ nm, but I don't know about any minimum wavelength of electromagnetic waves. I can't motivate it with the conservation laws for momentum or energy either.  How to solve this task? Identify this novel: youngsters psychologically tested for abilities/profession, hero wants to author the tests, society uses moving walkways Can Windows 7 be repaired to run with new motherboard? I have HP computer and it came with Windows Vista. It also had an option to upgrade to Windows 7 via upgrade disc. I have upgraded to Windows 7 via the special upgrade disc (It is special because it will only allow to install Windows 7 if Vista is already installed.  My motherboard recently died. I just replaced it and Windows 7 will not start up. It reboots and sometimes gives a blue screen of death. Very similar problem as described in this post: . Windows will not boot into normal or safe mode. Start up repair from system repair disc does not fix the problem. However, "" post on superuser describes that it should be possible to run Windows 7 on a new motherboard.  Is it hopeless to find a way to repair Windows 7 and I need to do a clean install? Is there a difference for repair options between OEM and retail versions of Windows 7? I remember doing this type of repair just fine in Windows XP days, so why am I unable to do so with Windows 7 - is it Microsoft or HP's fault? Should I stop buying HP computers or should I switch to Ubuntu? How to check if a String contains another String in a case insensitive manner in Java? What's the difference between &lt;b&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;, &lt;i&gt; and &lt;em&gt; in HTML/XHTML? When should you use each? understanding "mount" as a concept in the OS I want to understand what mounting is. It is used in different contexts and situations and I can't find resources which:   Describe the mount concept Explain the actions taken by the computer/OS/utility when a mount is performed How and in which situations mount is used Which features in the Linux mount command are of frequent use and some examples   ( I hear mount applied to diverse entities directories, flash drives, network card, etc ) How do I figure out the right size font / text for a given read distance? To avoid printing single letters at varying sizes and measuring how far away I can see it from a distance is there a formula for determining what size font for a particular read distance? Is it better to take the midpoint between the ascender line and x-height or to go purely off of the x-height (since going purely off the ascender line could leave lowercase letters difficult to read)? How does vertical height play into this? Would I need to then figure the hypotenuse distance instead of a straight distance?  For example if I'm shooting for a 20' read distance but the sign is to be placed about 30' up should I use a distance of  35' instead of 20'?  I'm shooting for a 20' read distance for the headline and then possibly a 10' read distance for additional content depending on how it all fits on the active area. How do I document a module in Python? That's it. If you want to document a function or a class, you put a string just after the definition. For instance:  def foo():     """This function does nothing."""     pass   But what about a module? How can I document what a file.py does? Show that every uncountable set of real numbers has a point of accumulation. Why does change in speed of a wave make it refract? When a light wave enters a medium with a higher refractive index (e.g. from air to standard glass) and its speed decreases, why does that make it refract/bend?  I understand that wavelength decreases and frequency stays the same and therefore its speed decreases, but I can't find anywhere whatsoever why the speed decrease cause the wave to refract. So could someone please explain this?
