More and more I see, especially in activist communities, Spanish-derived words ending in x or @ in order to neuter the gendering inherent in the original language. For example: latinx (or latin@) as opposed to latina and latino. How, though, are these endings pronounced? Please provide evidence of how this orthography is most commonly pronounced. Note 1: I recognize this is in an English Language site, rather than a Spanish language site, but this phenomenon is very much happening in English, albeit with Spanish loan words. Therefore the question is relevant to non-Spanish-speaking English speakers. Note 2: A question like this can lead to politically charged or, at least, sarcastic comments. Please refrain from bringing in your biases for or against. Note 3: This question is not seeking opinions as to how some people pronounce the suffixes. Answers should address evidence of a developing orthodoxy in pronunciation. I am using Microsoft Visual C++ on Windows and Qt Creator on Ubuntu. I can't change permissions on my flash drive (FAT32), even as root.  How can I change permissions on a FAT32 flash-drive? I know when evaluated it gives one but I can't figure out how to prove it.  Can anyone help? I believe it requires L'Hopitals rule and taking a natural log but i cannot figure out the exact math. Dimensioning of a technical drawing in TikZ Why is $\sqrt{-x}*\sqrt{-x}=-x?$ Q1 - Why is $\sqrt{-x}*\sqrt{-x}=-x?$  Q2 - I was thinking it would be:  $\sqrt{-x}*\sqrt{-x}=\sqrt{-x*-x}=\sqrt{x^2}$ but apparently not (why not?)  Q3 - What are the formal algebra rules to use? Can I calculate this without using i such as in: $\sqrt{-x}*\sqrt{-x}=i\sqrt{x}*i\sqrt{x}=-\sqrt{x^2}=-x$. SQL Server nvarchar(max) vs nvarchar(n) affects performance I'm confused about the use of symbols $\vdash$ and  $ \models$. Reading the answers to  and  I see that:  the turnstile symbol $ \vdash $ denotes syntactic implication. Then $ S \vdash \psi$ means that $\psi$ can be derived from the formulae in $S$  the double turnstile $ \models $, denotes semantic implication. Then the notation $A \models B$ means simply that B is true in every model in which A is true.  So I understand that, e.g., $(ZFC+ A) \vdash B$ means that $A \Rightarrow B$ is a theorem in ZFC and, in this sense $\vdash$ is a mathematical symbol for a theorem. While $(ZFC+ A) \models B$ means that $ B$ is true in every model of ZFC in which $A$ is true, and, in this sense $\models$ is not a mathematical but a metamathematical symbol.  I understand correctly? And those are the only uses of the two symbols? Let $R$ be a commutative ring with 1 then why does $a\in N(R) \Rightarrow 1+a\in U(R)$? Let $R$ be a commutative ring with 1, we define  $$N(R):=\{ a\in R \mid  \exists k\in \mathbb{N}:a^k=0\}$$  and  $$U(R):=\{ a\in R \mid a\mbox{ is invertible} \}.$$  Could anyone help me prove that if $a\in N(R) \Rightarrow 1+a\in U(R)$?  I've been trying to construst a $b$ such that $ab=1$ rather than doing it by contradiction, as I don't see how you could go about doing that. What kind of power management circuit do I need to embedded a rechargeable battery in my electronics project? I am doing a project where my electronics runs on 5V which I wanted to power from a 7.2v lipo regulated down to that voltage. I'd really like to include the opportunity to charge the lipo without removing it from the project. What kind of circuit/components do I need to do it properly?  Say, would putting a battery charging ic at the battery's terminals in parallel to my system be enough to achieve what I need? What exactly do the colors in htop status bars mean? Is it correct to sometimes capitalize words mid-sentence in computer user interfaces? I am having an error compiling the following code with xelatex and lualatex:  ** WARNING ** "seac" character deprecated in Type 2 charstring. ** ERROR ** Type2 Charstring Parser: Parsing charstring failed: (status=-1, stack=5)  Output file removed.  \documentclass{article}  \usepackage{xunicode} \usepackage{fontspec}  \setmainfont[Mapping=tex-text,Ligatures={Common}, Numbers={OldStyle}]{IM FELL English PRO} \begin{document}  Buongiorno a tutti.

Removing nodes from an XmlDocument The following code should find the appropriate project tag and remove it from the XmlDocument, however when I test it, it says:  The node to be removed is not a child of this node.  Does anyone know the proper way to do this?  public void DeleteProject (string projectName) {     string ccConfigPath = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["ConfigPath"];      XmlDocument configDoc = new XmlDocument();      configDoc.Load(ccConfigPath);      XmlNodeList projectNodes = configDoc.GetElementsByTagName("project");      for (int i = 0; i &lt; projectNodes.Count; i++)     {         if (projectNodes[i].Attributes["name"] != null)         {             if (projectName == projectNodes[i].Attributes["name"].InnerText)             {                                                                 configDoc.RemoveChild(projectNodes[i]);                 configDoc.Save(ccConfigPath);             }         }     } }   UPDATE  Fixed. I did two things:  XmlNode project = configDoc.SelectSingleNode("//project[@name='" + projectName + "']");   Replaced the For loop with an XPath query, which wasn't for fixing it, just because it was a better approach.  The actual fix was:  project.ParentNode.RemoveChild(project);   Thanks Pat and Chuck for this suggestion. I am reading Schwarz QFT and I reached the mass renormalization part. So he introduces, after renormalization, a physical mass, defined as the pole of the renormalized propagator, and a renormalized mass which can be the physical mass, but can also take other values, depending on the subtraction schemes used. Are these masses, other than the physical one, observable in any way experimentally, or are they just ways to do the math easier (using minimal subtraction instead of on-shell scheme, for example)?   Also, in the case of charge renormalization, the explanation was that due to the vacuum polarization, the closer you are to the charge, the more you see of it, so the charge of the particle increases with the momentum you are testing the particle with. However, I am not sure I understand, from a physical point of view, why do you need to renormalize the mass. Is this physical mass (defined as the pole of the renormalized propagator) the same no matter how close you get, or it also changes with energy? And if it changes, what is shielding it at big distances? bash: alias: alias: not found I have video tutorials that I want to show in my presentation with beamer class. I don't want the video files get embedded to the PDF because they will make the PDF size very very huge.  If you know how the videos can be played on the HTML with a reference rather than embedding the video file to the HTML file, I want something like this to be applied to my PDF presentation. I just want to reference the video URL from my PDF presentation.   Shortly speaking, can we use media9 to show a video on a PDF but the video is not embedded to the PDF?  Uploading those videos to a web server might be difficult for me because internet connection is very slow and sometimes not available in the presentation room. :-) Connecting two DC wallwarts in series - to produce dual DC supply I have two 9 V, 300 mA wallwarts and would like to connect them in series to produce +9 V, 0 V and -9 V. This can be done with two 9 V batteries (as seen below), but can I do this with two non-identical wallwarts? Version Control: Entire site or just pieces? I've been using git to track changes in the plugins and themes I've developed for different sites. Each plugin or theme has their own repository in whichever local install of WordPress I happen to be using for that project. This works fine when I'm just working on one solitary plugin or theme.  But when I have a local version of an entire site which is a collection of different plugins, themes, WordPress core, etc. Should I be keeping that entire directory under version control?  Is there a best practice to always have a collection of repositories for each theme/plugin, or for each client site to have one monolithic repository that includes all the code used in the project (including the latest copy of WordPress via svn.)
