Consider the piece of code.  \documentclass{article}  \newcommand{\hello}{Hello world!\vspace{12pt}Hello again!}  \begin{document}  \hello  \end{document}   This produces the following output.    Hopefully it is clear from the code that this is not the intended result.  Is there a way to permit \newcommands to add vertical spacing, or if not, is there another way to achieve the desired result?
I noticed an unexpected different line spacing of the titlepage what drives me crazy. The left page is the MWE, the right page without the \\ in front of Name.  \documentclass{scrartcl}  \begin{document}  \centering \Huge \textbf{UUUUUUUU UUUUUUUUU UUUUUUUUUUUUU UUUUUUUUUUUUU} \vspace{\baselineskip}\\ \textbf{UUUUUUUU UUUUUUUUU UUUUUUUUUUUUU UUUUUUUUUUUUU} {\rmfamily\Large \vspace{5\baselineskip}\\Name}  \end{document}     Any idea what causes this? Thanks alot!  Cheers, Stephan
If I enter my password correct first time, I login as normal.  If I enter my password wrong, it says invalid password. If I attempt to enter the correct password now then the screen freezes and doesn't go to dock as normal. I must restart using a physical button or shutdown to get out. Login works normally after restart, assuming I get it right first time.  EDIT:  After entering a wrong password, if I click cancel and then go back to my user to login, it works fine. Axiom of Choice: Family of non-empty sets mutually disjoint or not? I am downloading macOS Sierra from Mac App Store. But I have electricity problem here. Due to which my iMac will lose power after 2 hours. Now I want to pause the downloading so that I can resume the download later on. How can I do that?  Here is a screenshot.

Vandermonde Determinant This is an exercise from Ian Stewart's Galois Theory, $3^{rd}$ edition:     If $z_1,z_2,\ldots,z_n$ are distinct complex numbers, show that the determinant $$D=\left|\begin{array}[cccc]  11&amp;1&amp;\cdots&amp;1\\ z_1&amp;z_2&amp;\cdots&amp;z_n\\ z_1^2&amp;z_2^2&amp;\cdots&amp;z_n^2\\ \vdots&amp;\vdots&amp;\ddots&amp;\vdots\\ z_1^{n-1}&amp;z_2^{n-1}&amp;\cdots&amp;z_n^{n-1} \end{array}\right|$$   is nonzero.       Hint: Consider the $z_j$ as independent indeterminates over $\Bbb C$. Then $D$ is a polynomial in the $z_j$, of total degree $0+1+\cdots+(n-1)=\frac{1}{2}n(n-1)$. Moreover, $D$ vanishes whenever $z_j=z_k$ for $k\neq j$, as it then has two identical rows. Therefore $D$ is divisible by $z_j-z_k$ for all $j\neq k$, hence it is divisible by $\prod_{j&lt;k}(z_j-z_k)$. Now compare degrees.   My question is how to do this. I follow the hint and I'm thinking of $D$ as a cofactor expansion; is that the idea? Also, the fact that $D$ vanishes whenever $z_j=z_k$ for $k\neq j$ follows since it would have two identical columns, right? I don't see why $z_j=z_k$ would imply it has two identical rows, as the hint suggests. The fact that it is divisible by $(z_j-z_k)$ is easy since that would make $z_k$ a root for $k=j$, but I'm not quite sure I follow why the degrees would be different. I think the degree of the product would be $1+2+\cdots+(k-1)$, but then add these up for all $k&lt;n$?   I appreciate any clarification that you can provide!

Show that the dual space of the vector space of all polynomials is isomorphic to the infinite-dimensional Euclidean vector space over the reals May I please ask how to show the dual space of the vector space of all polynomials is isomorphic to the infinite-dimensional Euclidean vector space over the reals?

I couldn't afford that big a car. It was so warm a day that I could hardly work.   The sentences stated above have been taken from Practical English Usage by Michael Swan. If I write-   I couldn't afford that big car. It was so warm day that I could hardly work.   These make sense. But placement of article a makes these sentences awkward to me. Please say why and when articles are placed after adjectives. And what are the differences among 1, 2 and 3, 4. Flash plugin up to date but Firefox keeps telling me that I have the old version Filtered Review Queue doesn't show any audits Create ArrayList from array I have an array that is initialized like:  Element[] array = {new Element(1), new Element(2), new Element(3)};   I would like to convert this array into an object of the  class.  ArrayList&lt;Element&gt; arraylist = ???; "I will appreciate your help" I encounter the phrase "I will appreciate your help" from time to time and it doesn't sound too honest to me. To be more specific, I don't have a problem with this phrase coming from a friend, because he will appreciate my help by "owing me one". But a stranger from the Internet, that's different, methinks.  "How will you appreciate it?" pops in my mind every time I see it, because to me, appreciation equals reward and, well, you can't reward people over the internet much.

Its goal was to help our most active users find the questions they can answer. &quot;New nav&quot; never made it out of beta and that beta only ever made it to Stack Overflow users. Several months ago we gave new nav a sad, but overdue burial. As we promised, we've been working on a replacement for new nav, and now it's time for us to start rolling it out. We're calling it custom question lists and we are really excited about its potential to help all users get at the questions that are most interesting to them. While we hope what we've built hits the mark for many of you who have requested a feature like this (e.g., , , , , , ), we know how difficult it is to make something complex simple. So, we are rolling this out in beta to gather feedback from you and iterate on it. (Don't worry, we promise to actually release it this time.) When it's live later you'll be able to opt-in to the beta by turning on a new account preference. This will enable the feature for Stack Overflow, Meta Stack Overflow, and Meta Stack Exchange. It will be available for all network sites when the beta period is over. Schedule for future improvements This feature will roll out in four phases:  Phase I: Filter and sort controls to let you modify a question list view (Julyish) Phase II: Saved custom lists (In progress, ETA November 2018) Phase III: Notifications on custom lists (December 2018) Phase IV: Final fixes and official release (January 2019)  Sneak peak Phase I: Filter and sorts We'll add filter and sort controls to question lists. This does two things:  Clarifies the definition of built-in views - Naming is hard and short names can't always describe what a view is showing you. By exposing the filter and sort controls it is more obvious. Introduces the ability to create new custom views - This won't be super useful until we add the ability to save the views to the UI (phase II). Until then you can bookmark the URL and get back to your views.  Question list with new controls   Views drop down   Filter   Sort   Phase II: Saved custom question lists In this phase we will add the ability to save your custom questions lists. Create custom list In our current design, a dialog will be pre-populated based on the filters and sorts you're currently using. Give it a name, confirm your options, and click save.  Accessing your saved lists When you save your custom lists they will show up in the &quot;More&quot; drop down for question list views. Additionally, you can add them to the left navigation bar for easy access (see image below).  Phase III: Notifications For phase III we'll enable indicators for when new items are available in a custom question list. When you pin a question list to the left nav you can see a dot on any list with new items.  Feedback welcome As usual, we're interested in your constructive feedback. This is a work in progress and, as mentioned, will be rolled out in phases. You can provide feedback on the concepts now based on the information in this post and provide feedback based on the working elements as they are released.
