How can I use Windows in Ubuntu (not virtualized) to run an Adobe program? I would like to use Windows (not virtualized) on a system based on Ubuntu 18.10. I need to use some Adobe program that I cannot use on Ubuntu, but at the same time I want the security that only Ubuntu can provide.  So I was thinking that I could run my Ubuntu system and within it run a Windows system, as there would be something like a "main system" (Ubuntu) from which I could use Windows. Is it possible?  I know that using Ubuntu (as an app) on Windows is possible, but I would like to know if the opposite is possible too.  Thanks!
How can I install Windows software or games? Can .exe and .msi files (Windows software) be installed in Ubuntu?
I've got a repo that I contribute to within an Organization that I administer. I'm trying to add it to careers, but it won't allow it. Is this on purpose? I don't really want to fork it to my personal account, since I won't be maintaining it from there. Use of would in sentences Is there a GLM bible?

I guess it's simply a schoolboy error from a developer of the Truecrypt team, as it considers 10.4 being above 10.10, or maybe it's rather Apple who messed up &amp; should have consistantly used 2 digits after the dot (i.e. use 10.04 rather than 10.4).  In any case, I find myself unable to install Truecrypt. Anyone found a solution for this? Can Resharper be set to warn if IDisposable not handled correctly? Is there a setting in Resharper 4 (or even Visual Studio itself...) that forces a warning if I forget to wrap code in a using block, or ommit the proper Dispose call in a finally block?

Find all $n\in\mathbb{N}$ so that there exist $x,y,z\in \mathbb{N}$ that solve:   $$(x+y+z)^2=nxyz$$   I tried to attack it finding solutions, but all the solutions doesn't seem to have something in common. For example:  $$ (x,y,z,n)=(1,1,1,9)$$ $$ (x,y,z,n)=(1,2,3,6)$$ $$ (x,y,z,n)=(1,4,5,5)$$ $$ (x,y,z,n)=(2,2,4,4)$$ $$ (x,y,z,n)=(8,8,16,1)$$  I was trying to solve this problem, but someone told me that a hint to solve it is using Vieta Jumping. I don't know how to use Vieta Jumping, so can anyone help me to understand how to apply Vieta Jumping and solve the problem? The question says to solve this equation: $(z+1)^5 = z^5$  I did. Just want to find out if I did it properly and if my run-around logic makes sense.  First I begin my writing the equations as:  $$ (z+1)^5 = z^5$$ $$ \mathbf{e}^{5 \mathbf{Log}(z+1)} = \mathbf{e}^{5 \mathbf{Log}(z)} $$ So $$  \mathbf{Log}(z+1) = \ln|z+1| + \mathbf{Arg}(z+1)i $$   $$  \mathbf{Log}(z) = \ln|z| + \mathbf{Arg}(z)i $$   Now, because the natural logarithm is one-to-one, I write:  $$ \ln |z| = \ln |z+1| \Rightarrow |z| = |z+1|$$   So assign $ z = a +bi$   So that $|z| = \sqrt{a^2 +b^2} = |z+1| = \sqrt{(a+1)^2 +b^2} \Rightarrow a^2 +b^2 = (a+1)^2 +b^2 \Rightarrow a^2 = (a+1)^2 \Rightarrow a = -\frac12 $  So, $z = -\frac12 + bi$ and $z+1 = \frac12 + bi$ for some $b \in \mathbb R$  Now to find $b$  $$ \mathbf{Arg}(z+1) = \mathbf{Arg}(z)$$ $$ \tan^{-1} \frac{b}{\frac12} = \pi - \tan^{-1}\frac{b}{-\frac12}$$  I have a feeling this last part isn't quite right, so I just want to find out if I'm approaching this question properly?  Ultimately, I get $ z = -\frac12$ which upon inspection...is wrong... In GKP's Concrete Mathematics, there is a useful and interesting feature I would like to see in more books. The bibliography entries include:   a - the page numbers where the book or article is cited in the document. b - a few lines of review of the cited work.   It is a kind of mix between bibliography, index and review.  Are there stable LaTeX packages/BibTeX styles to do (a) and (b) ?  EDIT: I wrote (b) initially as "comments about the work cited". It could be understood as "gathering comments made in the book about the work and reproducing them in the bibliography".  This is not what I meant but this could be something useful for others. Check whether an array is a subset of another Any idea on how to check whether that list is a subset of another?  Specifically, I have  List&lt;double&gt; t1 = new List&lt;double&gt; { 1, 3, 5 }; List&lt;double&gt; t2 = new List&lt;double&gt; { 1, 5 };   How to check that t2 is a subset of t1, using LINQ? General trigger bulkification - best practices A general question asked from time to time on stack exchange is question of trigger bulkification.

What is happening here, when I use squared loss in logistic regression setting? I am trying to use squared loss to do binary classification on a toy data set. I am using mtcars data set, use mile per gallon and weight to predict transmission type. The plot below shows the two types of transmission type data in different colors, and decision boundary generated by different loss function. The squared loss is $\sum_i (y_i-p_i)^2$ where $y_i$ is the ground truth label (0 or 1) and $p_i$ is the predicted probability $p_i=\text{Logit}^{-1}(\beta^Tx_i)$. In other words, I am replace logistic loss with squared loss in classification setting, other parts are the same. For a toy example with mtcars data, in many cases, I got a model &quot;similar&quot; to logistic regression (see following figure, with random seed 0).  But in somethings (if we do set.seed(1)), squared loss seems not working well.  What is happening here? The optimization does not converge? Logistic loss is easier to optimize comparing to squared loss? Any help would be appreciated.

Often it won't fit into the current line, extending into the right margin.  I figured out that the following package helps :  \usepackage[shortcuts]{extdash}    Then I can write  Zwei\-/-Drittel\-/Abstimmungs\-mehrheit   and the hyphenation is done correctly.  Is there a way that I can set this hyphenation globally for this word? Like i can do it with the command  \hyphenation{...}   Sadly this command doesn't work for words containing dashes.
