The code of conduct announcement blog just went out, yet the link to the code of conduct page in it yields a 404 - page not found.  Seems like a bug.    This is on latest version of google chrome / windows 8.1
The  contains a link to the new code of conduct,  . As of 2018-08-07T05:27:38+00, . Also, I cannot find any other link to the conduct yet, neither in the help center, nor in the site navigation, which is a bummer, given that we're invited to read the new CoC:     Really, please, take a moment to read the new Code of Conduct now. It’s not long, it’s not wordy-and-legalese-y and in our long held tradition, we feel that it does a good job of assuming that the vast majority of folks that use our sites always have the best intentions at heart.    Is the code of conduct not yet published?  Edit: As mentioned in the comments,  announces the conduct and links to , so maybe it's not public yet?
An example of a group such that $G \cong G \times G$ I was trying to find an example such that $G \cong G \times G$, but I am not getting anywhere. Obviously no finite group satisfies it. What is such group? AC: Why differentiate between Ground and Neutral? Current flows through a conductor connecting points at different potentials.  Leaving aside multi-phase details, common/conventional AC systems use a 3-wire setup:   Wire-1: a line/live/hot/phase wire presenting a point that oscillates between 2 potentials. Wire-2: a neutral wire presenting a point of unknown/unspecified and varying potential, that nevertheless presents some fixed/specified potential difference to Wire-1 at least some of the time. Wire-3: a ground/earth wire presenting a point at 0V potential difference to its immediate physical surroundings.   Wire-1 and Wire-2, in addition to some device that is to be powered, are used to construct a closed electrical circuit. Wire-3, leaving aside EMI/shielding concerns, is used to ensure that current will flow through it, rather than the device's user, if there ever occur any faults and the device's user comes in contact with Wire-1 or Wire-2.  Additionally to this however, Wire-2 and Wire-3 are at some point connected. This is done to ensure that Wire-2's potential remains close to that of Wire-3 .. which seems to be important for some reason.  Now the part I don't understand is why there needs to be a distinction between Wire-2 and Wire-3 at the power socket, if there is none a few meters further down the line.  I have tried to look this up, but all answers I could find so far seem incomplete. The answers depend on how the question is phrased:   If the question is phrased as "Why do we need Wire-3 in addition to Wire-2" the answer is because "Wire-2 may be at a substantial potential difference to its surroundings/user and thus endanger him/her if he/she ever comes in contact with it or Wire-1". If the question is phrased as "Why do we need Wire-2 in addition to Wire-3" the answer is because "Wire-2 is needed to form a closed electrical circuit" or phrased somewhat differently "Wire-2 is needed to create a potential difference to Wire-1 and thus for current to flow" .. with the argument further being that when taking practical considerations into account Wire-3 can't provide a reliable/stable potential difference to Wire-1 like Wire-2 can.   This doesn't really answer why there's a need to differentiate between Wire-2/Wire-3 though, considering how    Wire-3 remains Wire-3 and maintains 0V potential difference to its surroundings/user, regardless of whatever else happens around it .. since that is what it's supposed to do, or phrased differently, since that is the reason for Wire-3 being useful in the first place .. right?   and   Wire-2 is connected to Wire-3   What am I missing here?    Why is it safe to touch Wire-3 but not Wire-2, or why can Wire-3 provide a level of protection that Wire-2 can't?  Why differentiate between Wire-2 and Wire-3 at the power socket but then connect them further down the line? Invoking makeindex for nomencl I have spent many many hours failing to implement nomencl for my PhD thesis. The problem seems to be with invoking makeindex and creating the .nls file  I keep reading that I must invoke makeindex or write a Unix command:  makeindex filename.nlo  -s nomencl.ist -o filename.nls   But I don't know how to do this. I would be grateful for some instructions i.e. where do I type the command?    I am using TeXShop 2.43. What's your preferred way of getting current system status (current CPU, RAM, free disk space, etc.) in Python? Bonus points for *nix and Windows platforms.  There seems to be a few possible ways of extracting that from my search:   Using a library such as  (that currently seems not actively developed and not supported on multiple platform) or something like  (again no activity since 2007 it seems and no support for Windows). Using platform specific code such as using a os.popen("ps") or similar for the *nix systems and MEMORYSTATUS in ctypes.windll.kernel32 (see ) for the Windows platform. One could put a Python class together with all those code snippets.   It's not that those methods are bad but is there already a well-supported, multi-platform way of doing the same thing? What is a good website to hack around using Selenium? I want to learn Selenium, but I don't know what to code. Sure, I can throw Google some queries, I can fill out some forms, press buttons, find divs and links, etc. But I think this stuff is pretty basic.  What would be more "advanced" ideas to try out? Can you give real-life examples? I've been reading through a lot of the rookie Java questions on finalize() and find it kind of bewildering that no one has really made it plain that finalize() is an unreliable way to clean up resources.  I saw someone comment that they use it to clean up Connections, which is really scary since the only way to come as close to a guarantee that a Connection is closed is to implement try (catch) finally.    I was not schooled in CS, but I have been programming in Java professionally for close to a decade now and I have never seen anyone implement finalize() in a production system ever.  This still doesn't mean that it doesn't have its uses, or that people I've worked with have been doing it right.  So my question is, what use cases are there for implementing finalize() that cannot be handled more reliably via another process or syntax within the language?    Please provide specific scenarios or your experience, simply repeating a Java text book, or finalize's intended use is not enough, as is not the intent of this question. Unstable wifi with intel 8260 [8086:24f3] (rev 3a) on Ubuntu 16.04 running on Lenovo P50 Using Blender Game Engine for VR 360 tour on Mobile, is it doable? I'm sorry if my question sounds clumsy, I'm not a seasoned BGE user.  I'd like to make a virtual tour for Gear VR and/or Google Cardboard in the BGE that works on Mobile.  Is this doable in a user friendly way using the BGE? Can I export to Mobile (android, IOS, Windows Phone)? I know this is possible using Unity, but I find Unity difficult to use. I've tried UE4, but the process is a big mess, it requires a buggy multi-level hack that only results in wasting my time. Given a DateTime object, how do I get an ISO 8601 date in string format? Given:  DateTime.UtcNow   How do I get a string which represents the same value in an -compliant format?  Note that ISO 8601 defines a number of similar formats. The specific format I am looking for is:  yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ssZ Is the tag info page not available on mobile theme? I was surfing SO on my iPhone, and wanted to see the info (tag-wiki) page for a tag, but didn't find it. Clicking on the tag always leads to the list of question, and there is no other link to the tag wiki. Is it not available on the mobile site? How to estimate camera sensor size? I am using a smartphone for capturing photos and I need to estimate the camera sensor size (mm*mm). I have the resolution (in pixels) and the focal length (in pixels). I can also measure the size of any stationary object and its distance w.r.t the lens. Basically, I don't have a pixel-to-mm metric for any of the above parameters that I can use. Is there any way I can calculate that to estimate sensor size? How do I shuffle cards for a card game? I am trying to develop an card game for Android Can anyone suggest me how to write code for effectively shuffling the playing cards? Could you help me to point out the differences in the following sentences. for me both sentences imply same meaning.      The Restaurant , offers a broad range of locally caught fresh seafood,   prime steak and meat dishes      The Restaurant , offers a wide range of locally caught fresh seafood,   prime steak and meat dishes How do I show that the sum $(a+\frac12)^n+(b+\frac12)^n$ is an integer for only finitely many $n$? Show that if $a$ and $b$ are positive integers, then $$\left(a +\frac12\right)^n + \left(b+\frac{1}{2}\right)^n$$is an integer for only finitely many positive integers $n$.   I tried hard but nothing seems to work. :( It would seem that LIGO measures wibbles in the metric (not manifold) of spacetime:    It would seem that the expansion of the universe is an expansion of the metric of spacetime:    Imagine for a moment that LIGO is not an interferometer. (So, it just plain times speed changes, rather than using phase shift of orthogonal directions.)  If the ends of one of the arms was indeed receding away from each other, at a speed consistent with the expansion of the universe, is the sensitivity of real-world LIGO of the needed sensitivity of a machine which could measure that shift?  On other words: ideally I'd like to know these two meters:  (A) The left arm of LIGO is about 4km. It was stretched/shrunk (a few times) for roughly .01 seconds by the gravitational wave.  How many meters was it stretched/shrunk in .01 seconds?  (B) Assuming the same abstract LIGO arm was affectable and affected by the expansion of the Universe. How many meters is it stretch/shrunk every .01 seconds?    Note - of course, an interferometer is an ingenious device to measure extremely small changes in speed - assuming the changes are orthogonal. Of course, an interferometer, per se, can't at all measure the expansion of the universe since that is uniform in both directions. The sense of my question is, can something that measures distance changes > as accurately as &lt; the LIGO does, measure the expansion of the universe?  How big or small is the ongoing expansion of the universe compared to the wibble from the black hole system in question? Call to undefined function session_register() Deploy Community Builder audience page assignments with ant migration tool? I have noticed a significant number of suggested edits that attempt to fix code, or change the original meaning of someone else's post.    Is this really a good idea?    I've been on StackOverflow awhile, and among the editors who have sufficient reputation to edit without approval, I've never seen anyone modify the technical content or meaning of someone else's post.   I would consider obvious syntax and spelling errors OK to change, but I have seen many suggested edits that change the meaning of the code that was posted, or add things to the code that have nothing to do with the original question. A good example of this would be adding parameters to a SQL command, when the question was not asking about SQL injection. Multiple addresses in JSON-LD Schema.org errors upgrading from 14.04 to 16.04 about Unknown Multi-Arch type for compiz, libkf5akonadisearch-bin packages I'm trying to upgrade my 14.04 machine to 16.04 using do-release-upgrade.

The suggested run of apt-get update doesn't seem to do anything. Googling for the above error messages yielded others having similar problems when upgrading to other, previous releases, although I've not come across any apparent fixes. It's suggested that an apt upgrade could fix the problem, but I don't see a way to easily do that (it's up to date with the latest trusty package).  What should I do in order to upgrade directly to 16.04?
