Community Wiki edit history showing outdated username I have an answer I gave on a question here:   The referenced username that has the majority of edits references one of my different aliases I had used at the time. But it has not updated to reflect my current username, contraband bandicoot?  Is this an intended feature?
Old usernames stick to Community Wiki posts On a whim the other day, I changed my meta name from Lord Torgamus to Popular Demand.  I just noticed that the old name has "stuck" to the author tag of ; everywhere else on meta, my new name displays as expected.  Is this a feature?  Is it a bug?  Mostly I'm just curious, as I can't think of a strong reason in favor of keeping this behavior or a strong reason for changing it.  A question somewhat like this has been raised before as , but the previous poster implied that the issue had something to do with migration, which my situation shows is not the case.

Best way to start investing, for a young person just starting their career? In a family with two children, what are the chances, if one of the children is a girl, that both children are girls?  I just dipped into a book, The Drunkard's Walk - How Randomness Rules Our Lives, by Leonard Mlodinow, Vintage Books, 2008. On p.107 Mlodinow says the chances are 1 in 3.   It seems obvious to me that the chances are 1 in 2. Am I correct? Is this not exactly analogous to having a bowl with an infinite number of marbles, half black and half red? Without looking I draw out a black marble. The probability of the second marble I draw being black is 1/2.

I have created a C# application which uses a SQL Server database. I have other computers connected to me and to each other in a workgroup. I have shared my C# application with others. When they open the application they get the error      A network related or instance-specific error occured while establishing a connection to SQL Server. the server was not found or was not accessible   But the application is working fine on my PC. The connection string I am using is   Data Source=ASHISHPC1\SQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=ACW;User ID=ash159;Password=ashish159   which is stored in a .config file.   The application is working fine on my PC. What must I do? I have enabled the TCP/IP in the server but the same error persists. Some change in connection string or something else? Parentheses around more than one paragraph Does English allow one to put parentheses around more than one paragraph? Example:     Paragraph 1.      (Paragraph 2.      Paragraph 3.)

Non-normality in residuals Access to our computer (not only to the internet) needs to be restricted for the accounts of my kids (7, 8) until they are old enough to manage this by themselves. Until then we need to be able to define the following:   the hours of the day when computing is o.k. (e.g. 5 - 9 pm) the days of the week when computing is not o.k.

Tunnel traffic through another machine over ssh How do we solve (i.e. get the closed form of) $\int \sqrt{1 + t^2} dt$ ?   shows the closed form of it but not the steps in solving it.  I think I need some algebraic trick..   I thought of some hyperbolic functions and their derivatives and equalities:  If I make $ t = \sinh x$, then I can reduce the integral to  $$ \int \cosh ^2 x dx $$ though I'm not sure if this is valid. But from here, I cannot go on evaluating the integral... My question is whether $x/x$ is always equal to $1$. I am mostly intersted in real numbers and particularly wonder whether $x/x$ is defined at $x=0$.  On one hand the division should simplify to $1$, on the other hand you should not be allowed to divide by zero.   I have been trying to find whether the simplification 'goes first' or whether the division causes trouble first, but it has proven impossible for me to find usefull search terms.     Note that this question arose after reading  and its first comment. Does the alarm work when my phone is turned off? How do I prevent yum from updating a particular RPM? For certain reasons I have to keep a slightly older version of a particular RPM installed on my box (Fedora 11). The problem is that every time I do a package update yum (or one of its GUI equivalents) wants to update this RPM to the latest version, which is annoying - especially when I update it by mistake.  Is there a way to 'pin' this version so that yum knows to never try and update it? Let's say I have a node type "Article" which has a field "File" which is set to handle public files. A lot of articles and files get added.  Now the specs suddenly change and the "Article" will move behind a login and therefore also the attached files must be changed to be not publicly accessible anymore.  I already found out  pretty easily by reimporting the manually updated field.storage.node.field_file.yml config. But: this only affects new files that will be added after the switch. It doesn't work for existing files. They still are accessible publicly. Many thousand existing files would need to be manually reuploaded to also make them private.  Does anybody of you have solved that in D8 before? If so, then how?  As all I can think of right now is to programmatically query all "Article" nodes, then foreach through all nodes, get the files, temporarily store them somewhere else, empty the field out, then try to reupload the files programmatically (probably my next question) and then resave each node.  Does that sound reasonable? Or can you think of any other approach that might work here (in D8)? Detect the Internet connection is offline?
