Spiritual Weapon Range vs. LOS There's plenty of discussion and even sage advice out there explaining that a caster need not have Line of Sight (LOS) on a target for their Spiritual Weapon to make an attack. I.e. a paladin can summon their SW and leave the room and still be able to make attacks with the weapon.   But is this still the case for maintaining concentration on the spell if you leave the range of the spell?   Another way to phrase the question might be is the range of the spell only a determinate in the initial casting of the spell, or is the range the max "leash" of the spell to keep it active?
Does going outside of range or line of sight after casting a spell have any effect? Does going outside the range of the spell or breaking line of sight between the caster and target break concentration or otherwise affect control over the spell?  For example, a Heat Metal spell has a range of 60 ft. If I cast the Heat Metal spell on a an armored foe, and that foe runs outside the range of the spell (60 ft), or around the corner, does that break concentration and end the spell? Heat Metal also allows you to use a bonus action to cause the 2d8 of damage — would exercising that option be prevented by being out of range or line of sight?

Ubuntu Wifi drivers not working after getting update How can I clear event subscriptions in C#? Take the following C# class:  c1 {  event EventHandler someEvent; }   If there are a lot of subscriptions to c1's someEvent event and I want to clear them all, what is the best way to achieve this? Also consider that subscriptions to this event could be/are lambdas/anonymous delegates.  Currently my solution is to add a ResetSubscriptions() method to c1 that sets someEvent to null. I don't know if this has any unseen consequences. Error: "To run a ssis package outside of sql server data tools you must install [send successful email] of Integration Services or higher."

Having recently introduced an overload of a method the application started to fail. Finally tracking it down, the new method is being called where I did not expect it to be.  We had  setValue( const std::wstring&amp; name, const std::wstring&amp; value );  std::wstring avalue( func() ); setValue( L"string", avalue ); std::wstring bvalue( func2() ? L"true", L"false" ); setValue( L"bool", bvalue ); setValue( L"empty", L"" );   It was changed so that when a bool value is stored we use the same strings (internal data storage of strings)  setValue( const std::wstring&amp; name, const std::wstring&amp; value ); setValue( const std::wstring&amp; name, const bool&amp; value );  std::wstring avalue( func() ); setValue( L"string", avalue ); setValue( L"bool", func2() ); setValue( L"empty", L"" ); &lt;&lt; --- this FAILS!?!   The problem with L"" is that it is implicitly casting and previously it was happy to be a std::wstring, but not it prefers to be a bool. The MSVC compiler does not complain, or raise warning, so I'm worried that even if I "fix" the setValue( L"empty", L"" ); to be  setValue( L"empty", std::wstring() );   somebody else may come later and simply use setValue( L"empty", L"" ); and have to track down this issue again.  We thought to use explicit on the method but it is not a valid keyword for this usage. Is there some way to get the compiler to complain about this, or otherwise prevent the issue?  Otherwise I'm thinking to change the name of the method which takes a bool to ensure it can't make an incorrect guess. How to represent it with UNIQUE indexes and foreign keys? Why is a T distribution used for hypothesis testing a linear regression coefficient? In practice, using a standard T-test to check the significance of a linear regression coefficient is common practice. The mechanics of the calculation make sense to me.  Why is it that the T-distribution can be used to model the standard test statistic used in linear regression hypothesis testing? Standard test statistic I am referring to here:   $$ T_{0} = \frac{\widehat{\beta} - \beta_{0}}{SE(\widehat{\beta})} $$ First player rolls a 6-sided die 100 times and the second player 101 times. What are the odds of the second player getting more odd numbers than the first one?  I tried solving this via listing the options which led to a nasty sum that I wasn't able to solve neither by hand nor by using wolfram alpha. Clearly there has to be a more clever solution using the properties of a binomial distribution, but so far I haven't come across anything useful. class variable vs instance variable --Python If I do the following:  import subprocess from cStringIO import StringIO subprocess.Popen(['grep','f'],stdout=subprocess.PIPE,stdin=StringIO('one\ntwo\nthree\nfour\nfive\nsix\n')).communicate()[0]   I get:  Traceback (most recent call last):   File "&lt;stdin&gt;", line 1, in ?

How do I work around this? Prove $ \sum \frac{\cos n} { \sqrt n}$ converges Why couldn't they omit the Batgirl narratives and scene in The Killing Joke movie? I loved the comic book. I've read it multiple times. And given that the purpose of the book and consequently, the movie, was       for the Joker to prove that anyone can be driven mad simply because of "one bad day", all he needed was the Commissioner right?    Why would they need to have us, as viewers, bond with Batgirl emotionally for around 25-30 minutes, have her frolic around with Batman and try to prove herself to him, etc.?     Sure, you feel deep sorrow for Barbara when she gets shot and molested by Joker. And this obviously is what affects Commissioner Gordon (in part),   But it isn't essential to the crux and the essence of the movie in my opinion (and going by the book, so to speak). Did Sam Liu or Brian Bolland offer any explanation to this end? Getting different answers when integrating using different techniques Question:  Is it possible to get multiple correct results when evaluating an indefinite integral?  If I use two different techniques to evaluate an integral, and I get two different answers, have I necessarily done something wrong?    Often, an indefinite integral can be evaluated using different techniques.  For example, an integrand might be simplified via partial fractions or other algebraic techniques before integration, or it might be amenable to a clever substitution.  These techniques give different results.  For example, looking over a few other questions on MSE:      From : evaluate $$ \int x(x^2+2)^4\,\mathrm{d}x. $$    Via the substitution $u = x^2+2$, this becomes $$ \int x(x^2+2)^4\,\mathrm{d}x       = \frac{1}{10}x^{10} + x^8 + 4x^6 + 8x^4 + 8x^2 + \frac{32}{5} + C.     $$ However, multiplying out the polynomial and integrating using the power rule gives $$ \int x(x^2+2)^4\,\mathrm{d}x       = \frac{1}{10}x^{10} + x^8 + 4x^6 + 8x^4 + 8x^2 + C    $$     From :  evaluate   $$ \int \frac{1-x}{(x+1)^2} \,\mathrm{d}x. $$    Simplifying the integrand using partial fractions then integrating gives $$ \int \frac{1-x}{(x+1)^2} \,\mathrm{d}x       = \frac{-2}{(x+1)} - \ln|x+1| + C.    $$ Via integration by parts, we get $$ \int \frac{1-x}{(x+1)^2} \,\mathrm{d}x       = \frac{x-1}{(x+1)} - \ln|x+1| + C.    $$     From : evaluate   $$ \int \frac {\tan(\pi x)\sec^2(\pi x)}2\,\mathrm{d}x. $$    Using the substitution $u = \sec(\pi x)$, this becomes $$ \int \frac {\tan(\pi x)\sec^2(\pi x)}2\,\mathrm{d}x       = \frac {\sec^2(\pi x)}{4\pi} + C.    $$ Using the substitution $u = \tan(\pi x)$, this becomes $$ \int \frac {\tan(\pi x)\sec^2(\pi x)}2\,\mathrm{d}x       = \frac {\tan^2(\pi x)}{4\pi} + C.    $$ How do I create a completely unattended install of Ubuntu? I need a CD or USB stick, that will install Ubuntu on a completely headless machine. Stick CD in and restart, no keyboard or screen should be involved.

How do I tell which point-and-shoot cameras take good low light photos? I have a Canon Powershot A710 and I previously had a previous Powershot A-series model. I love them due to the high amount of control they offer. Sadly, they both suck in low light conditions, their flash is very unresponsive, and the camera takes several seconds preparing itself for the next shot after a flash shot. And even then, the pictures they take in low light/flash are as bad as good are those with good light.  I'd like a camera which gives a lot of control options, but what do I need to look for to find one that's great in low light, with or without flash?
