What are the uses of this structure? I looked for about it, but I couldn't find something useful. Can you give me a definition and some examples?
The various modern revolutions in physics, in psychology, in politics, even in literary style, have not escaped his intelligent notice, but they can scarcely be said to have influenced him deeply.    Could you please explain the following?  They can scarcely be said to have influenced him deeply.  Or, I can not understand such a structure like the following:  In contrast, prices set by a central planner are necessarily arbitrary, since there is no standard against which they can be said to be correct or incorrect. d'oh!

As someone supervising postgrad students, I wonder what is the best way to train these students to write high-quality research papers?    The best way seems to be through coauthorship but ...  On the one hand I can be hands-off and rather give them feedback as best as I can but let them do most of the work themselves, sort of like a "sink or swim" strategy.  On the other hand I can be hands-on and rewrite the paper (or large parts of it) and hope that they learn from the example I give.  On the one hand I want them to learn to write papers without me some day and I want them to learn as quickly as possible to take load off me.  On the other hand I want us to publish in the best place possible with as little stress as possible.  On the one hand I want them to see the peer review comments from what they themselves have written.  On the other hand I do not want them to be discouraged by the peer review system early on and do not want to submit papers I know we could have written better.  On the one hand I want them to get confidence by being published and presenting work at good venues.  On the other hand I wonder if they need to get there themselves to get that confidence boost.    At the moment I'm very hands on. There's a few factors for this: I don't like submitting papers that are not up to a certain standard, I'm a native English speaker in a non-English speaking country with non-native speaking students, publications are a high priority for me, etc.  But recently a friend/colleague warned me that I should not be so hands-on with the writing of the papers of my students. He pointed to recently graduated researchers in my area that published good work as students but who struggled after leaving their PhD supervisor saying their supervisor did them no favours in the long term ... that by being so hands on, while the students have success getting published and so forth with me, I'm not really doing the most important thing a good supervisor should do: making myself obsolete.    My question is how to train students to write good research papers and in what ways can I balance being hands-on and hands-off?  I'm also interested in methods not directly involving coauthorship. How do I run specific sudo commands without a password? I have a card with a due date of today. The task is complete, and we've moved it to our "Done" list.  How can I update the card so that the due date icon is not red implying that it is late while retaining the date for historical reference? For integers $a$ and $b$, $ab=\text{lcm}(a,b)\cdot\text{hcf}(a,b)$ I was reading a text book and came across the following:  Important Results (This comes immediately after LCM:) If 2 [integers] $a$ and $b$ are given, and their $LCM$ and $HCF$ are $L$ and $H$ respectively, then $L \times H = a \times b$  Can some please help me understand why the above result is true? Thanks in advance. I was trying to make python version 3 as a default version of Ubuntu,  I used nano ~/.bashrc and added the first line of this answer.    Then It just messed up my terminal.  Now when I am clicking on my Terminal or trying to access by ctrl+alt+t, the terminal does open/run. I can only talk to ubuntu using my terminal how could I fix this?  Please advise!  Pls, note that the terminal icon is present, but the terminal does not open when clicked on. How do I get the terminal to open and work?  Update: I deleted that line from .bashrc. However, I still have a problem opening my terminal. I also see this sign on my ubuntu as well.     saying: a problem occurred when checking for the updates ubuntu 18.04 No hyper refs from citation to bibliography using BiBTeX, hyperref and harvard root folder access via gui I'm new to linux and the terminal. As I learn how to use the terminal to navigate through directories, I like to use the gui file explorer to mirror my terminal navigation. The icons and file extension info in the gui file explorer help me figure out what everything is. However, I can't access the root folder via the gui, I can only access it via the terminal. Is there a way to enable access to the root folder outside of the terminal? Poll on best VNC / remote desktop software for assisting others on Windows/Mac machines from Ubuntu?    I've heard good things about TeamViewer and Fog Creek Copilot, but I'm wondering if the included GNOME Vinaigre VNC client is good enough for this.  To specify, I'm looking for best option based on:   SIMPLEST ease-of-use for client to download/use on their end. See #1. Works cross-platform I am able to control client's mouse and/or keyboard from remote machine. Assign VNC password using script I am using a script to automatically set up a computer. I need to assign a password to the vnc server for the user, which is normally done using the vncserver command. However, it prompts for the user to enter and re-enter their password, neither of which the script is capable of doing. So, how can I set up the VNC password without an interactive prompt?   Thanks. What is the value of the series   $\sum\limits_{n=1}^\infty {\frac{1}{10^n-1}}$   and can one find closed forms for the sums   $\sum\limits_{n=1}^N {\frac{1}{10^n-1}}$?   I found that $\sum_{n=1}^N {\frac{1}{10^n-1}} $  =  $\sum_{n=1}^N (\lim_{m\to\infty  }{\frac{10^{-n}-10^{-nm}}{1-10^{-n}}})$  =  $0.111\ldots+0.0101\ldots+\ldots$ but I can't go farther.     The original question is: "Where does the second '1' appear?" With java.sql.ResultSet is there a way to get a column's name as a String by using the column's index? I had a look through the API doc but I can't find anything. Make file in linux readonly How can we run a command stored in a variable? $ ls -l /tmp/test/my\ dir/ total 0   I was wondering why the following ways to run the above command fail or succeed?  $ abc='ls -l "/tmp/test/my dir"'  $ $abc ls: cannot access '"/tmp/test/my': No such file or directory ls: cannot access 'dir"': No such file or directory  $ "$abc" bash: ls -l "/tmp/test/my dir": No such file or directory  $ bash -c $abc 'my dir'  $ bash -c "$abc" total 0  $ eval $abc total 0  $ eval "$abc" total 0 I came to think about some situations where it would be almost impossible to miss a melee spell attack (target is grappling you or vice versa, target is holding you or is close to you, your character already has it's hand on the target, etc.). How do you manage those situations?    Do you give an advantage to the caster? Does the spell automatically succeed? Or you just don't ask yourself the question and just play along with the base rules? Sell your home and invest in growth stock mutual fund I purchased a home and I made an agreement with a guy who is living in that home and paying me monthly rent. Since I live with my brother I don't have to live in my purchased home.  The rent I'm getting is only 10% of total cost of home while stock fund industry (mutual fund) is paying 20% minimum i.e. I'm getting 10% loss every year and that is a big amount.  I'm not really sure if my home also increase it's value by 10% every year. But I don't think it will be.  Now I'm thinking of selling that home and investing all of my money in a growth mutual fund.
