I am using Jquery to shown and hide an overlay on the web page.  In my scenario, I am showing an overlay menu and currently close the overlay when an item within the menu is clicked (click event detected and then overlay closed).   $('#menu a').click(function(){ $('.overlay').hide(); });   Nice and simple!  I now have a requirement that I want to hide the overlay when anywhere on the screen is clicked other than the menu item (for convenience).  Here's an example:    $('.overlay').click(function(){     // pseudo code   if (isDivClicked == false){      $('.overlay').hide();   } });   Is there a way to see if the clicked area is the overlay but NOT the div shown (with the menu items).  Thanks in advance!
I have some HTML menus, which I show completely when a user clicks on the head of these menus. I would like to hide these elements when the user clicks outside the menus' area.  Is something like this possible with jQuery?  $("#menuscontainer").clickOutsideThisElement(function() {     // Hide the menus });
Let $R= \mathbb{Q}[x^2 ,x^3 ]$, the set of all polynomials over $\mathbb{Q}$ with no $x$ term. Show that a gcd of $x^5$ and $x^6$ does not exist in $R$.   I am reasoning for the absurd and I am assuming that $gcd (x ^ 5, x ^ 6) = ax ^ 2 + bx ^ 3\in\mathbb{Q}[x^2 ,x^3 ] $, then, for the Bezout identity there exists $p (x) = cx ^ 2 + dx^3$ and  $q(x)= ex ^ 2 + fx ^ 3$ in $\mathbb{Q}[x^2 ,x^3 ]$ such that $x ^ 5p (x) + x ^ 6q (x) = ax ^ 2 + bx ^ 3$, which is absurd since $$9 = deg (x ^ 5p (x) + x ^ 6q (x)) \neq  deg (ax ^ 2 + bx ^ 3) = 3.$$  Is it okay what I did? Thank you very much. How do you read CSS rule values with JavaScript? I decided to make sure that I know this important difference between American and British English, so I wrote what I have found out so far and I would be grateful to anyone who reads this and tells me whether I am wrong, or not.  In British English when people say  to hospital or in hospital when  talking  about somebody being there as a patient they don't use the definite article : "I had to go to hospital", "She spent two weeks in hospital". And the meaning is that somebody was there as a patient.   If then for some other reasons British English speakers  will use the definite article which will change the meaning itself, I noticed that, in American English, native speakers often use the  the and if they need to show that somebody is in church to pray,  in school as a student, in hospital as a patient, in prison as a prisoner, they use 'in' and not 'at'. Do American English speakers use 'at' like British English speakers use 'the' to give the sentences a different meaning?    Are my sentences correct? Do they show American English usage?   He is in the school. (enrolled as a student) He is at the school. (for some different reasons) He is in the hospital. (as a patient) He is at the hospital. (visiting somebody) He is in the church. (to pray) He is at the church. (for some different reasons) He is in the university. (as a student) He is at the university. (not as a student) He is in the college. (as a student) He is at the college. (Not as a student) He is in the prison. (as a prisoner) He is at the prison. (not as a prisoner) I have a large amount of duplicate records (25.000) in an even larger table (250.000 records). I've done the detection using the reporting function. The criteria I used to detect the duplicates were 3 fields (unique account identifier, unique user identifier and date). Based on a list of criteria, I would like to either merge or delete these records. I've got a handle on the logic associated with the merging and the deleting but what I'm having trouble with is defining the duplicate detection process.   I'm looking at either creating a custom object to take care of the detection or dumping the records into an SQL database and taking care of it offline. Any thoughts on which one of the two is the best approach?  Edit:  After reading the first comment, I think the more appropriate question would be "How do I approach the problem in SOQL".  The object I'm working with is the Event object and I'm really only looking at the standard fields, AccountId, OwnerId and ActivityDate. From what I've found online, there's no easy way to find records that have the same value for these three fields. I think it could be accomplished by nesting SOQL queries but I'd like to use a different approach if at all possible. Proving a distance between molecules defines a metric space. A DNA molecule can be represented as a string of symbols $A$, $C$, $G$ and $T$, such as  $$GGATAATTCTAG. . .GACCGTACCC$$ For the purposes of this question, we will assume that all DNA molecules contain the same (large!) number $N$ of symbols. Thus, a DNA molecule is an $N$-tuple $x = (x_1, . . . , x_N)$ where $x_i  ∈ \{A,C,G,T\}$ for each $i$.  Define the distance between two DNA molecules $x$, $y$ as the number of elements $i ∈ {1, . . . ,N}$ such that $x_i \neq y_i$. Prove that this defines a metric on the set of DNA molecules. Position of "only" in “We 𝒐𝒏𝒍𝒚 have two possibilities” Is there any difference in meaning between the three following sentences?   We only have two possibilities. We have only two possibilities. We have two possibilities only.   I have already read  and I know that the position of only and the emphasis (written or oral) may change the meaning of some sentences, but I am not sure if it does here.  Note: It is clear that “only we have two possibilities” has a different meaning. My question is restricted to the sentences I’ve listed above. I have downloaded tar.gz files. But I don't know how to install it. How do I install this kind of file? Between you and ("me" or "I")? Is it correct to say "between you and me" or "between you and I"?  I am not a native English speaker, so please bear with me. Wording of "possible/exact duplicates" when closing the question When marking question for "duplicate", the reason in dialog window is "exact duplicate", yet when the process is completed there's a comment added that says "possible duplicate". Maybe those two should be evened out to either "possible duplicate" or "exact duplicate"?  Edit: Take  for instance, it says "Possible" on top but "exact" at the bottom    and the top remark was added by the system only after the question was closed, i.e. after it was concluded that it was an exact duplicate rather than a possible one.  So the question is: can the text on top be changed to "Exact Duplicate" please? In my resume, I'm describing several projects I've worked on in the past. Most of them were done in teamwork. What is the best way to say this?  Examples:  Together with XY, I built ... OR  In collaboration with XY, I built ... OR  XY and I built ...  Are the first two examples grammatically correct? I'm unsure since first I state that something has been done in collaboration with a second person, but then I use "I built ...". SELECT * EXCEPT Is there any RDBMS that implements something like SELECT * EXCEPT?  What I'm after is getting all of the fields except a specific TEXT/BLOB field, and I'd like to just select everything else.  Almost daily I complain to my coworkers that someone should implement this...  It's terribly annoying that it doesn't exist.  Edit: I understand everyone's concern for SELECT *.  I know the risks associated with SELECT *.  However, this, at least in my situation, would not be used for any Production level code, or even Development level code; strictly for debugging, when I need to see all of the values easily.  As I've stated in some of the comments, where I work is strictly a commandline shop, doing everything over ssh.  This makes it difficult to use any gui tools (external connections to the database aren't allowed), etc etc.  Thanks for the suggestions though. Now that I have Firefox 49 or higher, how do I watch Netflix? Just got the Firefox 49 update (yay!)  But Netflix still wants to install Silverlight (boo!)  How can I watch Netflix in Firefox, as ? How to calculate the summation $(\sum_{p = k}^{n} \binom{n}{p}) / 2^n$ quickly? I was solving a question which technically reduces to the following     Given $N$ items, it is equiprobable for each item to be good or bad, what is the probability that number of good items in the set are greater than or equal to $K$.   This can be reduced to $\dfrac{x}{2^n}$ where $\displaystyle x = \sum_{p = k}^{n} \binom{n}{p}$. Is there a more simplified form which is easier to calculate for large values of $N, K$?  Note: It may be safe to assume that we do not require extremely high precision while calculating(first 5-10 digits only).  Thanks! How can I sound proof bathroom walls? I'm trying to figure out the best, least intrusive way of sound proofing the walls of a bathroom. The bathroom shares a wall with my bedroom, and my 3 yea old's bedroom. The main problem is the sound of water running (plus every bump on the counter and everything) echos loud and clear through the wall into my sons room.  I found  and it seems like a good choice. Another option is adding another layer fo drywall with something like  between them. But all the walls and ceilings in the house are textured. So replacing just one or two walls in a room is just not possible.   This is the layout of the two rooms. I've added red box around the wall with the most noise.   Is there anything else I'm missing here that I could do to dampen the noise short of tearing the bathroom apart? Rewiring a switch controlled receptacle to a ceiling light White screen of death: Fatal error: Allowed memory size of X bytes exhausted I have a issue with my Drupal installation, for example:   when I enable or disable the modules, It redirects me to a blank page, when I create a new content type and save it, redirects me to a blank page, when I add a new view and save it, it redirects me to a blank page, when I try to clear the cache, it redirects me back to a blank page, or in similar cases.   Basically all the confirmation pages redirect me to a white screen. When I refresh it again, it shows me the page. I tried to increase the PHP memory value but it doesn't help.  Are there any other solutions for this?  The error which I'm having:      Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 100663296 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 8192 bytes) in sites/all/modules/views/plugins/views_plugin_localization_none.inc on line 1 System.Drawing in Windows or ASP.NET services According to , it is not a particularly good idea to use classes within the System.Drawing namespace in a Windows Service or ASP.NET Service. Now I am developing a class library which might need to access this particular namespace (for measuring fonts) but it cannot be guaranteed that the host process is not a service.  Now there is a less optimal method I can fall back to if System.Drawing is unavailable, but if it is possible, I would rather use classes in System.Drawing. So what I would like to do is to determine at runtume if System.Drawing is safe or not, and if it is, use it, otherwise fall back to the suboptimal option.  My problem is: How could I possibly detect if System.Drawing is safe to use?  I think I should either   Detect if the current process is a Windows Service or ASP.NET service Detect if GDI is available Or maybe there is a way to ask System.Drawing.dll itself if it is safe to use   Unfortunately, I cannot come up with a way to implement any of these approaches. Does anyone have any idea? It is often stated that the Lagrangian formalism and the Hamiltonian formalism are equivalent.   We often hear people talk about eigenvalues of Hamiltonians but I have never ever heard a word about eigenvalues of Lagrangians.   Why is this so? Is it not useful? is it not possible to do it? Obtaining knowledge from a random forest Random forests are considered to be black boxes, but recently I was thinking what knowledge can be obtained from a random forest?  The most obvious thing is the importance of the variables, in the simplest variant it can be done just by calculating the number of occurrences of a variable. The second thing I was thinking about are interactions. I think that if the number of trees is sufficiently large then the number of occurrences of pairs of variables can be tested (something like chi square independence).  The third thing are nonlinearities of variables. My first idea was just to look at a chart of a variable  Vs score, but I'm not sure yet whether it makes any sense.    Added 23.01.2012 Motivation    I want to use this knowledge to improve a logit model. I think (or at least I hope) that it is possible to find interactions and nonlinearities that were overlooked.
