Arcpy ListDatasets function to specific directories instead of workspace Are there any alternatives to the arcpy list functions (ListDatasets, etc.) where the directory can be specified rather than using the env.workspace?    For example, what if I would like to get a list of datasets in several different directories?    Or if I have my workspace in_memory?    The os.walk might partially work, but won't recognize non-file-based data types.  Is another function or snippets that can accomplish this?
How to make a GIS inventory? My office will be seeing a big change in its GIS section. This section has been operational since the 1980's and has a huge collection of GIS data (i.e., shapefiles, raster files, data, etc) but never been through any inventory. Now it will happen.   Is there any automated way to extract all the information about the GIS data (i.e., shapefile, arc-info coverage, layer file, *.mxd, gdb, raster file, and more) from a PC to an Excel file? The information may include date of creation, date last edited, folder or container name, etc.
How to enable bullet points when using the presento beamer theme? I have the problem that when I use an itemize list and the , there are no bullet points.  Here is a minimal working example (requires the  not available on CTAN to be downloaded first):  \documentclass{beamer} \usepackage{config/presento} \begin{document} \begin{frame} \begin{itemize} \item ... \item ... \item ... \end{itemize} \end{frame} \end{document}     How to fix this problem? Is ignoring emails acceptable in academia? As a grad student, I just find it tremendously frustrating when emails are ignored by faculty (both at my institution and at other places). Is this acceptable? I'd be content with a simple response with one line along the lines of "I have read this email and am busy right now, will respond in X days when I can write a more detailed email." I understand that, as a first year student in my field, I'm not really in a position to request anything of anyone, but it just seems like common decency.  Instead, I never hear back, as if my email has been jettisoned off into oblivion. How to set systemd for automatically force fsck disks after crash (hard poweroff)?  When I used sysvinit (in Arch Linux) as /sbin/init I used the hack: in the rc.local I create /forcefsck file; in the rc.local.shutdown I remove it. At boot-up rc.sysinit enable force fsck if /forcefsck exists.  How to do same in systemd? Maybe it has built-in facilities for automatic fsck after crush? Strange artifacts along window borders after waking computer from sleep mode NB: Nvidia has released an official fix; please see ,  and/or .  Upon waking up Ubuntu 16.04 from Suspend, the following graphical glitches appear around all windows, context menus, and similar:      This is currently known to affect the following NVIDIA cards running the proprietary drivers:  NVIDIA GeForce 610M, driver version 375.39, 340.102 NVIDIA GT 630M, driver version 375.39 NVIDIA GTX 650, driver version 375.39 NVIDIA GT 740M, driver version 378.13 NVIDIA GTX 745, unknown driver version NVIDIA GTX 850M, driver version 375.39, 378.13 NVIDIA GT 940M, driver version 375.39 NVIDIA GTX 950M, unknown driver version NVIDIA GTX 960M, driver version 378.13 NVIDIA GTX 970, driver version 375.39 NVIDIA GTX 970M, driver version 375.39 NVIDIA GTX 980 TI, unknown driver version NVIDIA GTX 1060, driver version 375.26, 375.39, 378.09 NVIDIA GTX 1070, driver version 378.09  The above above list has been sourced from reports from other users here on AU,  thread, and  thread. NB: This is be no means an exclusive list. It probably effects nearly all Nvidia cards.  Furthermore, this issue has been replicated on a clean install where the only change was a software update and the installation of the latest NVIDIA drivers.

Do Stack Overflow and other Stack Exchange sites have an app I can use? I like using Stack Overflow (or any other Stack Exchange sites) and was wondering if there was an app I could install on my phone or other device that would allow me to use the site on-the-go or straight from my desktop.  Some systems to consider:   Windows 8 Android iPhone/iOS   What are some apps that I could install to my computer or phone to enhance my Stack Exchange experience? How to check for empty xml files when parsing through multiple xml files To make Latin-letter variables bold I can use e.g. \mathbf{a}, but while putting Greek letters or symbols such as \nabla inside \mathbf doesn't cause any errors or warnings, it also doesn't do anything else.  What is the best way to make bold math symbols, in particular Greek letters and \nabla? Line of Bones to Travel and Conform to Curve (Train or snake following path) Using biblatex and Biber, I want my bibliography to say "Ph.D. thesis" (with periods) rather than "PhD thesis" (without). MWE:  \documentclass{article} \usepackage{biblatex} \addbibresource{refs.bib} \begin{document} Hello \cite{testphd} \printbibliography \end{document}   and refs.bib:  @thesis{testphd,   title       = {Thesis Title},   author      = {Surname, Firstname},   date        = {2010},   institution = {Faculty of X, University of Y},   type        = {phdthesis},   location    = {Somewhere}, }   Output:    What's the easiest way to do this?

Python as a statistics workbench The limit of truncated sums of harmonic series, $\lim\limits_{k\to\infty}\sum_{n=k+1}^{2k}{\frac{1}{n}}$ Why isn't the center of the galaxy "younger" than the outer parts? I understand that time is relative for all but as I understand it, time flows at a slower rate for objects that are either moving faster or objects that are near larger masses than for those that are slower or further from mass.  So, the illustrative example I always see is that if I were to leave earth and fly around at near light speed for a while or go into orbit around a black hole the time I experience would be substantially shorter than for those I left behind at home on earth and I'd come back to find that I've only aged however long I felt I was gone by my own clock but that on Earth substantially more time would have elapsed.  Following through on this model, the stars in orbit around the black hole at the center of the Milky Way are aging much much slower (relative to us), right?  So does it not follow that the center of the galaxy is some appreciable (I have no idea how to go about putting this in an equation so will avoid guessing at the difference) amount "younger" than the stuff further away from the center?   If this is not true, could someone please explain why not, and if it is true, can someone please point me to where I can calculate the age of the center of the galaxy :-)  And to be clear... what I'm asking is... if there was an atomic clock that appeared at the center of the galaxy when the center was first formed, and we brought it through a worm hole to earth today - how much time would have elapsed on that clock vs. the age we recon the galaxy currently is? (13.2 billion years) Validation Rule on picklist under opportunities There are 2 requirements:    standard users can’t update the status of a record beyond “open won” (so that only SF Admins or auto processes update “registered” and the stages beyond registration. Validation rule for this:    ~   AND(       $Profile.Name &lt;&gt; "System Administrator",      ISCHANGED(StageName),      OR(TEXT(StageName) = "Registered",     TEXT(StageName) = "Pre-Certified",     TEXT(StageName) = "Documentation, Submission",     TEXT(StageName) = "Performance verified",     TEXT(StageName) = "Appeals",     TEXT(StageName) = "Certification/ Closed Won")      )   Requirement 2: Standard users cannot update the status of a record that is already Registered (or post-registered phase). For us, some Opp was already “Registered” but some standard user  was able to change the record to “Open Won.”    I am looking for the validation rule of requirement 2 and which should align with first requirement also.  Thanks, Please guide. How can I switch off exception handling in MSVC? Prove that: $2^a+3^b<3a+4b$ Equifax credit score discrepancy in 1 month, why? I just went to Citi Bank's website (which gives free FICO scores from Equifax for users of some credit cards) and I realized that the score I saw there was a whopping ~50 points higher than the number I saw on Mint.com, despite the fact that they both claim to have received the number from Equifax. The only difference is the fact that Mint checked my score at the end of February 2015, whereas Citi checked it at the end of January 2015.  However, nothing unusual has happened to my credit history in between these two. I can confirm on Mint's credit report that nothing seems wrong, so I'm quite confused:   What can cause such a discrepancy? Whom should I contact to understand what is going on -- Mint, Citi, Equifax, or other? How should I contact them -- file a dispute, call them, or go somewhere in person?   Note that I don't feel I'm "disputing" anything, since I don't know if there is any cause for a dispute, and hence I'm not sure it makes sense to open a dispute with Equifax. I just want to know what is going on and why two third-party agencies claim to have received such wildly different numbers from the same agencies in the span of 1 month. Generating ordered combination of numbers Can markdown icons be available on the iPad? As you can see by the screenshot below, neither buttons nor even the live-preview is available on the iPad.    StackExchange is great on mobile devices, maybe it can be full available in mobile safari as well.  The same thing happens with the tags autocomplete, there is no options for it! we need to check previous questions to know what tags are available to use.
