OS :-Suse Linux Enterprise 12.0 File System :- ext3  I hit rm -rf /home/, immediately I did Contol+C so the command got canceled but until that time I lost ~9GB of data from this /home dir.  I don't have System GUI access. Please suggest a suitable recovery command or packages so that i can recover my lost /home files.  I just want to recover only one lost dir from this /home dir that is, /home/cubot/etl/script. This /home/cubot/etl/script was having some important scripts and it is not visible now completely.
I accidentally deleted a file from my laptop. I'm using Fedora. Is it possible to recover the file?
Can I install the 64 bit version? In the Harry Potter universe, wizards and witches have managed to keep Muggles unaware of their existence, across the planet and over many centuries. Up to the timeframe that the novels take place in (the 1990s), I can see how this can be achieved through a combination of discretion and magic, with discretion being the preferred method on occasion (e.g., you don't need magic to slip into Platform 9 3/4 unnoticed, you just need to check that nobody is looking).   Our current world of 2016, however, its a very different place. The UK is (in)famously heavily camera-monitored (). Even more poignantly, a very large (and growing) segment of the population carries an internet-enabled HD camera with them at all times and are willing to use it at a moment's notice (, but it is comedy in part because a more realistic version could happen). It looks like, the moment something magical happens in public, a video of it would be on Youtube/Facebook/Twitter and within minutes.   How does the Ministry of Magic deal with this development? Do they need to create a dedicated corps to monitor social media services and alter records as necessary? How to get the current user in ASP.NET MVC Show that $\mu (E \setminus A)>0$ if $A$ is a nonmeasurable subset of $X$ and $A \subseteq E$, $E$ is measurable. This question was asked , but the question wasn't asking for an answer, just a clarification on the proof by contradiction they already had, so I'm reposting it to ask for help arriving at the answer.  Because the asker above said they proved it by contradiction, that is what I'm attempting. But I'm having issues wrapping my brain around the concept of set measurability. So let's give it a good college try with what I can understand.  For clarity, $\mu$ is an outer measure.  A is nonmeasurable, so $\exists B \subseteq X$ such that $\mu (B) \ne \mu (B \bigcap A) + (B \bigcap A^c)$.  E is measurable, so $\mu (B) = \mu (B \bigcap E) + (B \bigcap E^c)$.  This essentially means $\mu (B) \ge \mu (B \bigcap E) + (B \bigcap E^c)$ (Since monotonicity is alredy implied by the definition of outer measure).  So we can attempt a proof (or the start of one) by contradiction.  Assume $\mu (E \setminus A)=0$. So $E \setminus A$ is a null set.  So $\mu (B) \ge \mu (B \bigcap E) + (B \bigcap E^c)$. I assume I'm supposed to show a contradiction using that A is nonmeasurable. I'm unsure how.  Another way I think could work would be to use: $\mu (E \setminus A)= \mu (E \bigcap A^c) = 0$ and arrive at a contradiction given that A is nonmeasurable, but again, I'm unsure how.  I just need some direction from here. Thank you in advance for any advice. Show that there's no continuous function that takes each of its values $f(x)$ exactly twice. I need to prove the following:  There's no continuous function $f:[a,b]\to \mathbb{R}$ that takes each of its values $f(x)$, $x\in [a,b]$  exactly twice.  First of all, I didn't understand the question. For example $x^2$ takes $1$ twice, in the interval $[-1,1]$. Is it saying that it does not occur for all $x$ in the interval? But what about $f(x) = c$? Is it saying that it does not occur only exactly $2$ times, then? I have no idea about how to prove it. I know that for $f(x)$ such that $f(a)&lt;f(x)&lt;f(b)$, if $f$ is continuous then there is a $c\in [a,b]$ such that $f(c) = f(x)$.  Now, there's the following proof in my book and I really wanted to understand it, instead of just getting a new proof  Since the interval $[a,b]$ has only $2$ extreme points, then the maximum or minimum of $f$ must be in a point $c\in int([a,b])$ and and in another point $d\in [a,b]$. Then, there exists $\delta&gt;0$ such that in the intervals $[c-\delta, c), (c,c+\delta)$ (and if $d$ is not extreme of $[a,b]$, $[d-\delta, d]$) the function takes values that are less than $f(c) = f(d)$. Let $A$ be the greatest of the numbers $f(c-\delta), f(c+\delta), f(d-\delta)$. By the intermediate value theorem, there are $x\in [c-\delta, c), y\in (c, c+\delta]$ and $z\in [d-\delta, d)$ such that $f(x)=f(y)=f(z)=A$. Contradiction.   Well, why the last part? Why is it that I can apply the intermediate value theorem to these values? For example, $&lt;f(c-\delta)&lt;p&lt;f(c)$, then by the theorem I know that there exists $m\in [c-\delta, c)$ such that $f(m) = p$. Same for the other intervals. But what guarantees thhat the greatest of the values between  $x\in [c-\delta, c), y\in (c, c+\delta]$ will be inside the intervals $[c-\delta), c), (c,c+\delta), [d-\delta, d)$? Double value returns 0 I am getting the following error frequently. (Example: when running zenity,firefox etc. commands / applications.)

I'm able to get a list of the field types with the following code.  $defs = \Drupal::service('plugin.manager.field.field_type')-&gt;getDefinitions();   I want to get the field type of a specific field. How do I get it?  For example, I'd like to check if the field type of field_image is _image. Is there code similar to the following one?  $fieldType = \Drupal::service('plugin.manager.field.field_type')-&gt;getDefinition('field_image'); Normalizer of upper triangular group in ${\rm GL}(n,F)$ The following question has already appeared on mathstack:     If $B$ is the subgroup of ${\rm GL}(n,F)$ consisting of upper triangular matrices then normalizer of $B$ in ${\rm GL}(n,F)$ is $B$ itself.   I know a proof of this using Bruhat decomposition of ${\rm GL}(n,F)$.   Question: Can we prove above theorem without using Bruhat decomposition?    Why came to this question: Consider the general linear Lie algebra $L=\mathfrak{gl}(n,F)$; in it, let $T=\mathfrak{t}(n,F)$ be the upper triangular sub-algebra. Then normalizer of $T$ in $L$ is $T$ itslef, and this can be proved just by considering a very simple decomposition of ${\mathfrak gl}(n,F)$: write any element as sum of upper triangular matrix and lower triangular matrix whose diagonal is $0$.   But then for problem above, is it necessary to use Bruhat decomposition? What is the difference between a deep copy and a shallow copy? Atomic clocks were used in Hafele and Keatings experiment which supposedly helped to prove time dilation.    How can we be sure other forces didn't act upon the clocks as a result of their being at different speeds and elevations? Perhaps the elapsed time may have been the same for all and only appeared different as a result of the clock's atoms behaving differently in different environments.  How might the presence of dark matter (presumably all over the place) impacted the clocks if say the dark matter is stationary relative to the earth's rotation?  What experiments have been done to test the constancy of clocks at different speeds and elevations? How to start X windows inside "Bash on Ubuntu on Windows" After installing the new feature (still "Beta") called  that is a feature subset of Windows 10 Anniversary edition, I get the following message when trying to start X-Windows using startx :    What do I need to tweak / configure in order for X-Windows to launch?  I noticed that xauth was already installed, however I had to install the rest of the framework as follows :  apt-get install xorg openbox I am having trouble with (a) and (b):  I evaluated (a) and I got that sun of the first three terms does not equal $\ln(5/8)$. I got that it is equal to $\ln(3/4) + \ln(2/3) + \ln(15/16)$ which is not equal to $\ln(5/8)$.  I am also having trouble with part (b). I cannot figure out how to calculate the math to cancel out the $(k+1)^2$ and turn it into $2(n  +1)$.  Any help would be amazing. I am a Ph.D. dropout with a one year of career gap. I want to return to academia, but now  I have realized that it was perhaps the biggest mistake to take a gap after quitting my Ph.D. The purpose of taking a gap was to work on my communication skills and get a  new perspective on my work and my career in science. This could have been done within a period of 2-3 months but it became one year long because of my own recklessness. I allowed myself to distract from my goal and I started working on my hobby i.e. Painting. I lost myself there and completely lost track of my time. I was really enjoying everything about this new venture. I took it as a challenge to become better at my skills in painting. Eventually, I became the best in my group and got lots of appreciation. But then, I lost my interest while realizing that there was no further challenge and all there was left is to work and work while crafting your art which was never going to be perfect. It made me realize that what I actually love is to take the new challenges and work on myself. To be an artist was never a career option for me, all I wanted was to learn the skills. That's it!   While counting my achievement in science, I  realized that it was an irresponsible thing to take a gap in doing something that has nothing to do with science. Earlier I had a scholarship and a very competitive mind that has led me to get a Ph.D. position in one of the best labs in the country. Now I don't have the scholarship. I want to go back to my world of research where I was accelerating exponentially. I want to tackle the challenges of science with a new perspective and better skills. I want to be productive more than earlier and ready to take all the tough challenges.  But I feel embarrassed about my past mistake. Because of this, I come across as someone who is not sincere about her career. But I can't help it because the truth is that I did behave insincerely by losing track of my time.  I should have been conscious enough to realize the consequences. Now, what do I do? The past has gone and the vision of the present is crying for a better future. How do I make things better like before? How do I convert a hex string to an int in Python?   I may have it as "0xffff" or just "ffff". List of interesting math videos / documentaries This is an offshoot of the question on . I have listed a few videos/documentaries I have seen. I would appreciate if people could add on to this list.  $1.$ Story of maths      $2.$ Dangerous Knowledge    $3.$   $4.$   $5.$ Direction of friction when a car turns When a ball moves to the right, friction acts to oppose the motion, in other words, to the left. However, when a car travels around a bend, the friction acts in the perpendicular direction to the car's velocity and provides the centripetal force. I just cannot understand why friction would act in that direction. Position of a relative clause before/after a verb How can I create a video file from a set of jpg images? Joined pipelines Considering a routine such as this one:  alpha() { echo a b c |tr ' ' '\n'; }   which outputs a stream, I would like to take the output stream, transform it, and paste it with the original output stream.  If I take use upcasing as a sample transformation, I can achieve what I want with:  $ mkfifo p1 p2 $ alpha | tee p1 &gt;( tr a-z A-Z &gt; p2) &gt;/dev/null &amp; $ paste p1 p2 a       A b       B c       C   My question is, is there a better way to do this, preferably one not involving named pipes?
