My Arduino IDE (ver 1.8.12 on Win10) crashes when I launch it. Running the arduino_debug.exe I get this error message.

What are Null Pointer Exceptions (java.lang.NullPointerException) and what causes them?  What methods/tools can be used to determine the cause so that you stop the exception from causing the program to terminate prematurely?
How can you duplicate weapons in Borderlands 2? I want to get 2 identical Unkempt Harolds for my Gunzerker, and I do not want to Tourge token grind. I have one already, but I want to get another. How would I duplicate with the newest version of PC BL2? I accidentally killed a noble, now every guard wants to kill me. Is there any way I can get rid of the bounty?

BIOS not UEFI.  A charity I work with requires me to use Quickbooks Desktop on Windows.  The plan is to ghost the existing system to a 512GB or larger SSD and create a third bootable Windows 7  partition for performing charity activities.   Is this possible to have a third partition? Is there a good example you have used as a guide? Is triple booting with two Windows partitions different from 2 Linux partitions?   If you have done this before ( with GRUB) please indicate this in your response: lessons-learned are appreciated.

There are several ways to execute a script. The ones I know are: /path/to/script # using the path (absolute or relative) . script        # using the .

How do I save the output of a command to a file?  Is there a way without using any software? I would like to know how. Are you allowed to use numbers as table names in MySQL? I'm thinking of having a program that dynamically creates new tables as the need arises. Can I have tables named with just numbers in MySQL? I have critical low storage level and can't understand what takes much of it and how that's possible that the installed applications can use 7 GB? I only use a few social media clients without any games or soft like Photoshop. Also on the second screenshot it indicates that the apps are using just 1.13 GB and so I can't understand the situation. Also what is the "Other"? Everybody perhaps knows of Jon Favreau's movie  which is going to be released in 2016. But quite recently I learned (and to my utter surprise) that another Jungle book movie is coming in 2017 and it's called .   Now, this movie has big names too with Christian Bale as Baghera, Benedict Cumberbatch as Sher Khan, Cate Blanchett as Kaa and a young Indian boy in the live action role as Mowgli.   How often does this happen, with two big productions with big cast making a movie on the same subject? I want to ask why this is happening and if there are any really significant differences between the two (apart from the cast, of course). The  prohibited the development or use of cloaking technology by the Federation. This treaty was a peace treaty and use of cloaking technology in one's own space couldn't disturb peace. Plus, the Romulans already had cloaking technology, so banning it was unfair for the Federation. So, why was this ban introduced?  Another thing: There were many things to ban, but why cloaking technology? Have you ever notice the sunset's image in the sea? It's like long light path to the end of the horizon! I've attached a sample of this:     How can we explain this? I know that it can happen even in wave less sea or lake! Why is this path so continuous? I expected that sea should act like a mirror! With biblatex, alphabetic style, I have     &lt;author&gt;. &lt;title&gt;   But I want to have a colon ":" instead of the period "." after the author:     &lt;author&gt;: &lt;title&gt;   What do I have to change? How do I definitively show that there are only two propagating degrees of freedom in the Lorenz Gauge $\partial_\mu A^\mu=0$ in classical electrodynamics.  I need an clear argument that   involves the equations of motion for just the potentials $A^0$ and $\mathbf{A}$, and not the electric and magnetic fields.   includes sources $\rho$ and $\mathbf{J}$ in the equations of motion.  This is to justify the assertion that there are degrees of freedom that decouple from the rest of system. does not critically rely on quantum field theoretic arguments (although any supplementary remarks are welcome).     To illustrate the level of clarity I expect, I provide an argument in the Coulomb gauge $\nabla\cdot \mathbf{A} = 0$:  Of the four field degrees of freedom, the gauge condition $\nabla\cdot \mathbf{A} = 0$ removes one degree of freedom (the longitudinally polarized EM waves).  To show that among the remaining three degrees of freedom only two are propagating, consider the field equations of motion in the Coulomb gauge:  \begin{align} \nabla^2 A^0 &amp;= -\rho/\epsilon_0,\\ \big[\frac{1}{c^2}\frac{\partial^2}{\partial t^2}-\nabla^2\big]\mathbf{A}&amp;= \mu_0 \mathbf{J}-\nabla \frac{1}{c^2}\frac{\partial}{\partial t}A^0. \end{align}  The first equation is NOT a wave equation for $A^0$, and thus does not propagate.  The final equation IS a wave equation, and describes the propagation of two degrees of freedom (Gauss' law in first eq. can be solved, and then inserted into the second equation to show that $\mathbf{A}$ only couples to the Solenoidal part of the current). Basically on my site I have a bunch of song lyrics and in a static page I want to show them listed by album  and album position of the song and I have two custom fields with that data, sd_album_title and `sd_album_track_n. Plus some of the songs don't have an album yet, so both values are void, and I wish to list those ones at the foot of the others, sorted by alphabetical order.  The latest thing I tried at least to sort everything by the two field is this one:  $key = 'sd_album_title'; $themeta = get_post_meta($post-&gt;ID, $key, TRUE);  add_filter( 'pre_get_posts', 'my_get_posts' ); function my_get_posts( $query ) {     if ($themeta != '') {         $query-&gt;set( 'post_type', 'lyric' );         $query-&gt;set( 'meta_key', 'sd_album_title' );         $query-&gt;set( 'orderby', 'meta_value' );         $query-&gt;set( 'order', 'ASC' );         $query-&gt;set( 'meta_query', array(               array(                     'key' =&gt; 'sd_album_title'               ),               array(                     'key' =&gt; 'sd_album_track_n',                     'value' =&gt; 'target_value',                     'compare' =&gt; '&gt;=',                     'type' =&gt; 'numeric'               )         ));     }     return $query; }  $getlist= 'my_get_posts'; $posts = get_posts( $getlist );   And my intention was to put an else at the end of it with an array ordered by title for the other songs, but it returns nothing as it is. Could something like this work with some corrections or am I on a totally wrong path?
