Is it possible for the user to disable certain sites from appearing in hot network questions? I really admire the creativity in some questions from , but I prefer to not see imaginary questions mixed in with real ones. Is there a way I can remove those, without removing the whole HNQ panel? (I think some HTML blocker plugins will remove the whole thing).
Filter "Hot Network Questions" by excluding sites I was going to make a filter for the &quot;&quot; by excluding some sites from it.  I noticed  which talks about &quot;negative filtering&quot; but does not explain how one can do it or if it is possible.  There does not seem to be a way to do this, though.  On the filter page, my only options are:  So how can I do &quot;All sites except [list]&quot;? It would also be nice if this could include similar functionality with the meta checkbox.  Something like &quot;All main &amp; meta sites except...&quot;
I'm a beginner in Leaflet and I need help to deal with GeoJSON files.  I succeeded in creating a Leaflet basemap. I can add markers without troubles but I cannot manage to show a GeoJSON layer.  Here is the code I picked up from Leaflet Tutorials website  :  var geojsonFeature = {     "type": "Feature",     "properties": {         "name": "Coors Field",         "amenity": "Baseball Stadium",         "popupContent": "This is where the Rockies play!"     },     "geometry": {         "type": "Point",         "coordinates": [-104.99404, 39.75621]     } }; L.geoJSON(geojsonFeature).addTo(map);   Unfortunatly, the GeoJSON does not appear in my map.   Can you tell me where I missed something ?    Alright, you're fine Francisco, this part was OK. I changed the whole script and it works !  However, would you know how to load a GeoJSON from an external source ?  I tried this :   var geojsonLayer = new L.GeoJSON.AJAX("foo.geojson");        geojsonLayer.addTo(map);   from   but this definitely does not work.  Any ideas ?    I am not skilled enough to understand your advice.  Here is the whole code I am using to create my map :  &lt;!DOCTYPE html&gt; &lt;html&gt; &lt;head&gt; &lt;title&gt;data&lt;/title&gt; &lt;meta charset="UTF-8"&gt; &lt;link rel="stylesheet" href="https://unpkg.com/leaflet@1.0.3/dist/leaflet.css" /&gt; &lt;script src="https://unpkg.com/leaflet@1.0.3/dist/leaflet.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt; &lt;script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.1.1.min.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;   &lt;script type="text/javascript" src="http://maps.stamen.com/js/tile.stamen.js?v1.3.0"&gt;&lt;/script&gt; &lt;script src="/js/leaflet-0.7.2/leaflet.ajax.min.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt; &lt;script src="htdocs/webmap101/leaflet.ajax.min.js" type="text/javascript" &gt;&lt;/script&gt; &lt;style&gt;    #map {width: 960px; height:700px;} &lt;/style&gt; &lt;/head&gt; &lt;body&gt;   &lt;div id="map"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;script&gt;   // create map var lat = 44.933331; var lon = 4.9;  var map = L.map('map',{center: [lat,lon],zoom: 6});   // basemaps var base = L.tileLayer('http://{s}.tile.osm.org/{z}/{x}/{y}.png',   {attribution: '© &lt;a href="http://osm.org/copyright"&gt;OpenStreetMap&lt;/a&gt; contributors'  }); var toner = new L.StamenTileLayer("toner"); var watercolor = new L.StamenTileLayer("watercolor"); var landscape = L.tileLayer('https://tile.thunderforest.com/landscape/{z}/{x}/{y}.png'); base.addTo(map);   // markers  var mark1=L.marker([lat,lon]) mark1.addTo(map)    // layers panel  L.control.layers({"base": base, "water": watercolor, "toner": toner , "landscape" : landscape}).addTo(map);    // geojson files var geojsonFeature = {     "type": "Feature",     "properties": {         "name": "Coors Field",         "amenity": "Baseball Stadium",         "popupContent": "This is where the Rockies play!"     },     "geometry": {         "type": "Point",         "coordinates": [-104.99404, 39.75621]     } }; L.geoJSON(geojsonFeature).addTo(map);    //ajax  var geojsonLayer = new L.GeoJSON.AJAX("foo.geojson");        geojsonLayer.addTo(map);  &lt;/script&gt; &lt;/body&gt; &lt;/html&gt;   I know it's a bit messy but this is actually my very first HTML script... I guess I did not include in a proper way the AJAX library.    Actually, I just want a solution to replace the lines where I create the GeoJSON by something that tells javascript to load the GeoJSON stored locally in my folder. This :  var geojsonFeature = {     "type": "Feature",     "properties": {         "name": "Coors Field",         "amenity": "Baseball Stadium",         "popupContent": "This is where the Rockies play!"     },     "geometry": {         "type": "Point",         "coordinates": [-104.99404, 39.75621]     } };   should be transformed into something like (I don't know if it exists) :  var geojsonFeature = [foo.geosjon]   where "foo.geosjson" is a file like :  { "type": "FeatureCollection", "name": "abies", "crs": { "type": "name", "properties": { "name": "urn:ogc:def:crs:OGC:1.3:CRS84" } }, "features": [ { "type": "Feature" Horizontal overflow on my profile page In a Silverlight application I'm trying to find out when a property on a usercontrol has changed. I'm interested in one particular DependencyProperty, but unfortunately the control itself doesn't implement INotifyPropertyChanged.  Is there any other way of determining if the value has changed? Laptop randomly waking up = Hibernate / Low Battery? Add a transparent image on top of a material I'm designing this animal-type creature, and want to add a transparent .png image to its face with the face features (object has a subsurf). On the left is the image with the features, on the right is the part of the object where I want it to be.    I tried to import the image as a plane, but matching the shape of the plane with the face didn't work, and the lines of the face left shadows on the head, and could be seen as a different object from some angles (although it's the closest I've gotten yet). It looked like this:    So , I tried selecting the faces of the head that the features should go over, and create a new material for it. Unfortunately, since the .png is transparent, the result produced was this:    (where it's impossible to tell the transparency from a black background default color, and where I wouldn't know where to start to adjust size and position).  I also tried UV mapping, but then the whole object became black with the features repeated all over.   Is it something I have to go into Nodes for? I'm kind of stuck here. Creating a new material and applying it is simple, but applying a material that is an image is a bit more complex it seems... Ideally, I would reproduce the same technique for the adhesive bandage on its arm (seen on the right of image 1). Is the intersection of a closed set and a compact set always compact? I am going through Rudin's Principles of Mathematical Analysis in preparation for the masters exam, and I am seeking clarification on a corollary.  Theorem 2.34 states that compact sets in metric spaces are closed. Theorem 2.35 states that closed subsets of compact spaces are compact. As a corollary, Rudin then states that if $L$ is closed and $K$ is compact, then their intersection $L \cap K$ is compact, citing 2.34 and 2.24(b) (intersections of closed sets are closed) to argue that $L \cap K$ is closed, and then using 2.35 to show that $L \cap K$ is compact as a closed subset of a compact set.  Am I correct in believing that this corollary holds for metric spaces, and not in general topological spaces? Non-principal ideal in $K[x,y]$? Let $K$ be a field. Then $K[x,y]$ is not a PID because $x$ is irreducible but the quotient $K[x,y]/(x)$ is isomorphic to $K[y]$, which is not a field.  So there must be an ideal in there which is not principal. What is an example of such an ideal? As we all know, going near a black hole (Gargantua in this case) slows down time, according to the theory of relativity.  So when Cooper comes out of the black hole, after spending a fair bit of time there, shouldn't he be much older than Brand who hasn't gone inside Gargantua? Solving $\sqrt{x+5} = x - 1$ I'm currently learning about radicals and simplifying them, and I came across this problem on the internet and tried to solve it:  $$\sqrt{x+5} = x - 1$$  So I used this logic:  $$ \begin{align} \sqrt{x+5} &amp;= x - 1 \\ x + 5 &amp;= (x-1)^2 \\ x + 5 &amp;= (x-1)(x-1) \\ x + 5 &amp;= x^2 - 2x + 1 \\ 0 &amp;= x^2 - 3x - 4 \\ 0 &amp;= (x-4)(x+1) \\ \end{align} $$  Therefore, $x = -1$ and $x = 4$ satisfy the equation $0 = (x-4)(x+1)$.  But then I tried to plug them in the original problem $\sqrt{x+5}=x-1$:  $$ \begin{align} \sqrt{4 + 5} &amp;= 4 - 1 \\ \sqrt{9} &amp;= 3 \\ 3 &amp;= 3 \end{align} $$  So using 4 works as expected, but when using $-1$:  $$ \begin{align} \sqrt{-1 + 5} &amp;= -1 - 1 \\ \sqrt{4} &amp;= -2 \\ 2 &amp;\ne -2 \end{align} $$  At what stage am I going wrong?  And according the , the solution is $x = 4$. paragraph numbering I am using the paragraph section head, i.e.,   \paragraph{This is a cool paragraph}    I would like it to compile with numbering. If I change the secnumdepth (i.e., \setcounter{secnumdepth}{4}) this will work, but produce the "wrong" type of numbering, i.e.,      1.1.1.1 This is a cool paragraph      1.1.1.2 This is another cool paragraph etc.   What I would like is      1 This is a cool paragraph      2 This is another cool paragraph   or, if not,      1.1 This is a cool paragraph      1.2 This is another cool paragraph   where the first 1 indicates the section number and suppresses the subsection and subsubsection numbers. Can this be done? Set limit to one author when using "et al." in biblatex In the header of my document I set the maximal author names to 2:  \usepackage[style=authoryear-icomp, maxbibnames=9, maxcitenames=2, backend=biber]{biblatex}   Now, when I cite texts with two authors, LaTeX gives me the following:     (Author_A/ Author_B 2012: 232)   When I have three authors or more, LaTeX makes it:     (Author_A/ Author_B et al. 2012: 232)   But I want LaTeX to just name the first author if there are more than two authors ... like this:     (Author_A et al. 2012: 232)   Any tips on how to achieve this ? I can't get into my field research prize Many of the various items have a list of enchantments that would be ideal. For instance, I might want Infinity, Power, Flame, and Punch all on a bow... and at the highest levels. Barring incredible luck, I will never get those with an enchantment table.  I can enchant books until I find those spells, and add them to the bow with an anvil. However, at some point (I haven't yet figured out how many times) it will no longer allow you to add enchantments to an item, saying that it's "too expensive". There is a hidden counter that is incremented every time, and once this goes past a threshold you can never add more magic (though, I've read in places you can continue to repair the item at great cost indefinitely... not clear if that's true or not).  This counter is cumulative, such that if you combine two items' magic into a single item, that won't sidestep the limit.  However, I've only just caught on that one can also combine two books. I can take two Power I books, and make a single Power II book. And I can take two of those, and get it up to Power III, and so on, but also have two spells combined in a book.  If I do this until I get all the magic I need onto a single book (or even just two or three books, supposing the books max out), will I get to the point where the books will no longer combine with the item because it's too expensive? Or are books exempt from the cumulative counter thing? It would suck to spend so much time and effort to get a powerful book and discover that it can't actually be used on anything.  Also, is it true that you can indefinitely repair, as long as you have the repair material and are at level 39? Or is that a misunderstanding of the rules (or maybe just an earlier version of the game and it no longer works like that... I'm on 1.8.9)? Does that only work for those items that can be repaired with diamond/iron, or will it work for fishing rods and bows as well? Prove the map sending a matrix to it's inverse is continuous. How to make a surface with a transparent background in pygame Infectious chicken pox My 21 year old son has chicken pox and has been home for a few days now. The spots are just starting to crust over.  I work with elderly people but have had chicken pox as a child - should I carry on working while he is here (hes usually away at Uni) and infectious? How to convert an array into comma separated strings in smarty template? Ted Shifrin on this site posed an interesting problem to me: show that   $$ \lim_{(x,y) \to (0,0)} \frac {|x|^ \alpha |y|^ \beta} {|x|^ \gamma + |y|^ \delta} \text {exists} \iff \frac\alpha\gamma + \frac\beta\delta &gt; 1, \,\,\,\,\text{where } \alpha, \beta, \gamma, \delta &gt;0$$  I think I've got the $(\Leftarrow)$ direction as follows: assume WLOG that $\gamma \leq \delta$. Then switch to polar coordinates and get   $$\frac {r^ {\alpha + \beta} (*) } {r^\gamma (1(*) + r^{\delta - \gamma}(*))},$$  where $(*)$ represents some trig stuff that is bounded near zero.   Edit: I need to make sure that $(1(*) + r^{\delta - \gamma}(*))$ is bounded below here.  The other direction is giving me some trouble. It seems we need a lower bound for the fraction (something to force to zero), and I'm not sure where to find one. In particular, I'm not sure what to do with the denominator. Any ideas? Is there a free site to play Yu-Gi-Oh? Was "book" to "beek" as "foot" is to "feet"? "Foot" is a curious word in English because it is pluralized in an unusual way; the "oo" in the word is changed to "ee".  Did this once use to be a standard way of pluralizing things in English (or a language that contributed to English), which would mean that the plural of "book" was "beek" instead of "books"?  Or, is "feet" just a one-off?
