If  is used on , will it be able to "attack alone" ? Is this the same for Bonded Horncrest being the target of  and the 's ability?  p.s. If Prey Upon is used on , will it get a +1/+1 counter? and I assume the +1/+1 counter enters after the fight/dmg has been dealt, right?
The text for  says:     {1}{G}, {T} : Target creature you control fights another target creature. (Each deals damage equal to its power to the other.)   Does this have anything to do with combat? Or is it just direct damage between two creatures? For example, can one of the creatures have defender? Or what if one of them is tapped?   I've been assuming it is more like the damage dealt by a .  Also: are the two creatures then “tapped” until their next untap step? ie: could you use Ulenvald Tracker to make two creatures fight in your pre-combat step, then enter the combat phase with a creature who just “fought” untapped? Could you make two creatures fight who are both tapped?
Format string dynamically How to revert an update? The latest xorg update was a big regression for me on a dual display setup. Is there a simple way to revert to the previous version?  I'm on Lucid Lynx. Is there a method to split thousands of polylines by employing a tool like the "Editor" - "Split" method and using distance, in ArcGIS?      When I utilize the "split" - "distance" tool (fig1), it only splits one section leaving the remainder unsplit (fig2).    I have attempted the "COGO" tool - using "Proportion", and can utilize the "duplicate" button to assign the remainder of segments which seems like a viable option.  But I would like to find some way to automate this process.  Has anyone found a method to do this?  Or is Python (coding) the only way?  I am trying to split over 2000 lines into equal distance segments (fig 3) of ~600m. Each segment will have its angle measured, and will ultimately result in a rose diagram representing angular statistics.  The distance of each segment is important in my splitting regime (a long line will have a greater representation of a particular angle on my rose diagram than the neighboring shorter line segments).  I currently am using ArcGIS 10.2 with an advanced user license. Selecting and manipulating CSS pseudo-elements such as ::before and ::after using javascript (or jQuery) Can't deep learning models now be said to be interpretable? Are nodes features? For statistical and machine learning models, there are multiple levels of interpretability: 1) the algorithm as a whole, 2) parts of the algorithm in general 3) parts of the algorithm on particular inputs, and these three levels split into two parts each, one for training and one for function eval. The last two parts are much closer than to the first. I'm asking about #2, which usually leads to better understanding of #3). (if those are not what 'interpretability' means then what should I be thinking?)  As far as interpretability goes, logistic regression is one of the easiest to interpret. Why did this instance pass the threshold? Because that instance had this particular positive feature and it has a larger coefficient in the model. It's so obvious!  A neural network is  the classic example of a model that is difficult to interpret. What do all those coefficients mean? They all add up in such complicated crazy ways that it is hard to say what any particular coefficient is really doing.  But with all the deep neural nets coming out, it feels like things are becoming clearer. The DL models (for say vision) seem to capture things like edges or orientation in early layers, and in later layers it seems like some nodes are actually semantic (like the proverbial ). For example:    ()  This is a graphic () created by hand for presentation so I am very skeptical. But it is evidence that somebody thinks that is how it works.  Maybe in the past there just weren't enough layers for us to find recognizable features; the models were successful, just not easy to post-hoc analyze particular ones.  But maybe the graphic is just wishful thinking. Maybe NNs are truly inscrutable.  But the many graphics with their nodes labeled with pictures are also really compelling.    Do DL nodes really correspond to features? Why is there no permittivity-type constant for gravitation? When I look at electric or magnetic fields, each of them has a constant that defines how a field affects or is affected by a medium. For example, electric fields in vacuum have a permittivity constant $ϵ_0$ embedded in the electric field expression of a point charge: $E = q/4π ϵ_0r^2$. However, if I put this point charge in some dielectric that has a different  permittivity constant $ϵ$, the value of the electric field changes. On a similar note, magnetic fields behave very similar but have the permeability constant $μ_0$ instead.   From my understanding, I believe that this is not the case for gravitational fields since the universal gravitational constant $G$ is consider to be a fundamental constant. So I am assuming that even though gravitational fields do operate in different types of mediums, this somehow doesn’t affect the gravitational field value. My question is why is this the case, that is, why isn’t there a permittivity-type constant for gravitation? Plotting recursive function using pgfplots \addplot Is it possible to plot a recursive function using pgfplots \addplot command?  I tried like this;  \documentclass{article} \usepackage{pgfplots}  \pgfmathdeclarefunction{fac}{1}{   \pgfmathparse{(#1&lt;=1)+                 (#1&gt;1)*#1*fac(#1-1)   } }  \begin{document} fac(5) is \pgfmathparse{fac(5)}\pgfmathresult  \end{document}   But the result seems to be an infinite recursion, as the entire function is being evaluated. "Much of it is" or "Much of it are"? I'm writing an college-entrance essay and for me it's imperative that I understand and implement the correct one of these two expressions:     "Much of it is" or "Much of it are"   If you need context:     I'm having trouble with my writing. The reason I'm having trouble is that much of it is about....   Should there be an "is" or an "are"? I'm using tex4ht to produce XHTML files from a LaTeX file. The XHTML file I obtain uses images for some equations which tex4ht could not convert directly to XHTML.   Problem: images of equations have very bad quality.   What I want: Better quality images.  More info on attempts &amp; system:  I'm using MikTeX 2.9 under Windows Vista. I go to the command line and type htlatex document.tex "xhtml" to get the resulting XHMTL file.   After doing some search on the web, I tried to change the file tex4ht.env as mentioned in  (changing -density 110x100 to -density 220x220 -geometry 50%) in all locations I could find in my system (within the MikTeX path and also in the AppData windows directory) but the results are the same. I obtain during the compilation of hlatex the following line (among others):     System call: mgs -sDEVICE=pngalpha -sOutputFile=Untitled11x.png   -r110x110 -dEPSC rop -dBackgroundColor=16#ffffff -dTextAlphaBits=2 -dGraphicsAlphaBits=2 -q -dbat ch -dNOPAUSE zzUntitled1.ps -c quit   In particular, I would guess that the -r110x110 means resolution was still set to 110x110, despite my changes to the file tex4ht.env.  Any suggestions on how to improve the quality of equations images? Templated check for the existence of a class member function? Is it possible to write a template that changes behavior depending on if a certain member function is defined on a class?  Here's a simple example of what I would want to write:  template&lt;class T&gt; std::string optionalToString(T* obj) {     if (FUNCTION_EXISTS(T-&gt;toString))         return obj-&gt;toString();     else         return "toString not defined"; }   So, if class T has toString() defined, then it uses it; otherwise, it doesn't. The magical part that I don't know how to do is the "FUNCTION_EXISTS" part. Do I need a visa for Paris, if my connecting flight stops for 24 hours in Paris? Do I need visa for Paris, if my connecting flight stops at Paris for 24hrs and I want to visit Paris during that 24hrs? I have US B1 visa. I'll be travelling from San Francisco to Bangalore (India) via Paris. I hold Indian passport. If yes, what is the procedure for that visa? What is the proper name for a "river plot" visualisation In a famous plot, Charles Minard visualised the losses of the French Army in the Russian campaign of Napoleon:    (another nice example is  xkcd plot)  Is there a canonical name for this type of visualisation? I'm actually looking for an R package to create such plots, but I don't even know how to look for it.  EDIT:  As I could not find a good package in R do do this type of plots, I have created my own, called "riverplot" -- you can download it . Here is a simplified version of the above diagram:    And an example of what other diagrams can be created with the package: C++ 11 Thread initialization with member functions compiling error Explaining Infinite Sets and The Fault in Our Stars In watching The Fault in Our Stars I could not help but cringe at a line that flew in the face of mathematics and subsequently ruined the movie for me:     "There are infinite numbers between 0 and 1. There's .1 and .12 and .112 and an infinite collection of others. Of course, there is a bigger infinite set of numbers between 0 and 2, or between 0 and a million. Some infinities are bigger than other infinities." - John Green   While walking out of the theater I tried to explain to my friends why there were, in fact, exactly the same amount of numbers between 0 and 1 as 0 and 2, but Cantor and bijective functions are not great learning tools to English majors.  Does anybody have an eloquent or elegant way to enumerate this phenomenon using an example accessible to those not familiar with advanced mathematics? Why is boiling water loud, then quiet? Water in my electric kettle makes the most noise sixty to ninety seconds before the water comes to a full boil. I have been fooled many times by the noisy kettle, only to discover that the water was not yet hot enough for tea. The kettle is only at a full boil after the noise has subsided.    I have noticed the same phenomenon with many other kettles, including conventional kettles on kitchen ranges; it is not a peculiarity of this electric kettle.  Why does the boiling become quieter as the water reaches full boil? External arrows in tables How to achieve similar arrows as in the picture?

Now that the Engineer update has come, there will be lots of Engineers building up everywhere.  How should this best be handled? I am currently working on a project to create a (not prepaid) postage label.  In java, I would go about doing this by creating a bufferedimage and adding various other images to it to create what I want.  What I want is to put text, converted to an image, onto a template letter, to make a proper postage label.    For example, imagine I was given a document with blank spaces such as:  "Name: _________"  This document is in the form of an image, and I want to use apex and visualforce (the page is already constructed, I am just stuck at the image manipulation part) to add whatever name the user types in onto the image and pack it and email the new image.  The question I have here is: where do I even start?  Java is a little nicer when it comes to image manipulation, as far as I can see.  I've looked into using a web service and sending a soapxml request to return a proper encoded image, but I haven't found a web service that can do this.  Any pointers would be nice. Thanks. I'm a big fan of the podcast Astronomy Cast and a while back I was listening to a Q&amp;A episode they did. A listener sent in a question that I found fascinating and have been wondering about ever since.   From the show :      Arunus Gidgowdusk from Lithuania asks: "If you took a one kilogram mass and accelerated it close to the speed of light would it form into a black hole? Would it stay a black hole if you then decreased the speed?"   Dr. Gay, an astrophysicist and one of the hosts, explained that she'd asked a number of her colleagues and that none of them could provide a satisfactory answer. I asked her more recently on Facebook if anyone had come forward with one and she said they had not.  So I thought maybe this would be a good place to ask.
