weird underfull \hbox (badness 10000) in paragraph error I know this question has been asked dozen of times, but I cannot find any with a problem like mine:  I'm working on this document, which compiled fine yesterday (I still have the old version and it is still compiling perfectly), today I added a couple of sections and a bunch of subsections, without weird commands, only plain text and \\ but when I tried to compile I got dozens of underfull \hbox errors, the first one being at line 16 (which compiled fine in the previous version of the document).  This line, specifically, is:     In linea di principio, una volta che un algoritmo è stato sviluppato, questo può essere eseguito, con risultati uguali e prevedibili tanto da un calcolatore quanto da un essere umano, con l'unica differenza che un calcolatore, a meno di errori (umani), nell'implementazione dell'algoritmo o dell'hardware su cui viene eseguito è decine di ordini di grandezza più veloce e più preciso a svolgere alcuni compiti.\\\\   that is, plain text ending with newlines. the problem is that even after removing the newlines I still get the same error and I cannot understand what's causing it since it wasn't a problem yesterday. How am I supposed to tell TeX to start a new line without it complaining?
Implicit newline at the end of each paragraph? In certain styles of text I define \parindent 0pt in the preamble and write the text in this manner:  paragraph 1\\  paragraph 2\\   and so forth. I wonder if there is anything I can include in the preamble for instance to modify how the end of paragraphs are interpreted so I don't have to include the \\ at the end of each?
"This question has been asked at Stack Overflow" vs. "on Stack Overflow" How should I phrase it:     This question has been asked at Stack&nbsp;Overflow.   Or,     This question has been asked on Stack&nbsp;Overflow. Why MonadPlus and not Monad + Monoid? I've imported several shapefiles which where exported from a Mapinfo .tab. Several  .tab-files are imported resulting in 20+ layers. Afterwards I want to export it to GeoJSON; but I'm reluctant to select each layer and export it manually. Is there a way to merge all the layers into one using QGIS? When documenting location, should current or historical place names be used? When I am documenting records, do I use the name of a city or country as it is called today or as it was in the year an ancestor was there?  Related to: As of patch 1.5, I am completely unable to see underwater in Skyrim.  It's not even that it's murky or dark - it's just a solid grey or green screen.  I can still skim across the surface and see into deep waters, but if I go any deeper than that, nothing is visible.  I can still access items like chests underwater if I figure out their location first (by skimming across the surface) and then point my character there and hope really hard that it gets me to the right place.  I was never able to see much underwater, but I at least used to be able to see small things like wood floating near a shipwreck.  Now, there's just nothing. I am running the Steam version of Skyrim with graphics on Ultra High, with the high res textures DLC.  I've tried disabling the high res textures (along with all my other mods) and it still happens.  In case it's relevant, my GPU is a GTX 560 Ti.  Does anyone have any solutions to this? Intermediate fields between $\mathbb{Z}_2 (\sqrt{x},\sqrt{y})$ and $\mathbb{Z}_2 (x,y)$ I want a translucent PNG overlayed on top of my screen (above all windows). I'm using this to mark a visible region while streaming.   So far I've figured out that qiv -transparent filename.png will add a mask to the window, but it's a boolean mask. I don't get translucent fading with the alpha channel.  I know several effects have opacity, and I can sent window opacity, so I'm hoping there's some way to display an image that way.  What program, tool, or widget can I use to blend an image onto the top of the desktop? Smoothing/generalizing polygon in QGIS? Is it possible to smooth or generalize a polygon in QGIS, perhaps by using a plugin like the generalizer-plugin for lines?  I could convert my polygons to lines, smooth them and convert them back to polygons but this is not working for my polygons because of several reasons. Can I downgrade to Mavericks after installing Yosemite (beta/developer preview)? I have installed the developer preview for Yosemite.  Huge mistake. Everything in my workspace is broken.  I don't have any sort of backup image. I was wondering if I could re-download Mavericks and run the installer - would that effectively downgrade me back to Mavericks?

How to find out if my system is i386 or x86_64 before installing Ubuntu? I am using Windows as of now and want to install Ubuntu. I want to find out if my system is i386 or x86_64? How do I do that? I recently wiped my computer to have 14.10 as my only OS. It has 160 GB of storage. That was a month ago. Now, I keep getting prompts that the storage is almost full. And when I look it says I only have 543 MB free. How is this possible? I haven't torrented any large files. I do have Variety to autodownload wallpapers and not erase though.

How can I intercept XMLHttpRequests from a Greasemonkey script? How hard do early-career academics in the United States work, really? I'm finishing a PhD in Sweden this year and seeking a post-doc in the United States (atmospheric remote sensing).  It is clear that a job in academia is not a nine to five job; nor do I want it to be.  I often work late in the evening when I'm on a productive spur.  When an important dead-line is coming up, one needs to work harder, and there is no overtime paid.  I accept that.  However, no matter how much I'm interested in my research, I do enjoy and need a reasonable amount of spare time, too; relaxing on the weekends, occasionally a long weekend away, and sometimes a longer trip, such as three weeks in the wilderness.  Regarding the normal work ethos for early-career academics in the United States, I have a hard time judging what is normal and what is excessive.  Some examples:    warning post-docs that he expects all of the members of the group to work evenings and weekends. My apparent naïveté in believing that , despite Wikipedia  as a rest from work, or a hiatus, often lasting from two months to a year.  I was thinking of my friend, who spent a year between his PhD and his first post-doc travelling from France to Mongolia mostly on foot. Someone  I am not a good role model, but when I don't work on a Sunday, I count that as a vacation day.  having no employment-related benefits such as paid vacations, sick leave, or unemployment compensation. Question    We don't have such a work-ethos where I'm at.  I belief that working too hard risks stress and burn-out, and does not increase productivity in the long run, nor human well-being.  I want to do science.  Doing science makes me happy, but having time to relax while not doing science is important for me.  Does the selection of examples I gave above represent a normal situation in U.S. early-career academia?  Should I expect an attitude where asking for a 3-week holiday during the summer is considered as being not serious, or is the situation in practice usually not as bad as the examples above make it sound?  How hard to early-career academics in the United States work, really? Storage order vs Result order This is a spin-off question from .   says this on the subject of storage order (clustered index) and the output order     A lot of people believe that a clustered index guarantees a sort order on output. But that's not what it does; it guarantees a storage order on disk.   See, for example, .   I've read the blog post by Hugo Kornelis and understands that an index doesn't guarantee that the sql server reads the records in a specific order. Yet I have a hard time accepting that I can't assume this for my scenario?  CREATE TABLE [dbo].[SensorValues](   [DeviceId] [int] NOT NULL,   [SensorId] [int] NOT NULL,   [SensorValue] [int] NOT NULL,   [Date] [int] NOT NULL, CONSTRAINT [PK_SensorValues] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED  (   [DeviceId] ASC,   [SensorId] ASC,   [Date] DESC ) WITH (     FILLFACTOR=75,     DATA_COMPRESSION = PAGE,     PAD_INDEX = OFF,     STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF,     SORT_IN_TEMPDB = OFF,     IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF,     ONLINE = OFF,     ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON,     ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON)   ON [MyPartitioningScheme]([Date])   My original query was this:  SELECT TOP 1 SensorValue   FROM SensorValues   WHERE SensorId = 53     AND DeviceId = 3819     AND Date &lt; 1339225010   ORDER BY Date DESC   But I suggest that I could as well use this one (read below for my explanation):  SELECT TOP 1 SensorValue   FROM SensorValues   WHERE SensorId = 53     AND DeviceId = 3819     AND Date &lt; 1339225010   As you can see, my table rows are small (16bytes) and I've got only one index, a clustered. In my scenario, the table consists of 100.000.000 records at this moment (and this will most likely increase tenfold).  When the database server queries this table it has two ways of finding my rows, either it seeks the primary key and thereby reading and returning my values in desc. order of Date, or it has to do a full table scan. My conclusion is that a full table scan on all those records will be way too slow and the database server will therefore always seek the table via its primary key and thereby returning the values sorted by Date DESC It is a question of Nautilus file manager of Ubuntu 18.04. Is there a simple way to create a Folder when file list is full of items? Is there a general formula for image size vs. print size?
