Quote formatting with Ctrl+Q puts the > in annoying places If I paste in a quote and press Ctrl + Q it will apply quote formatting like so:     "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do   eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad   minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut   aliquip ex ea commodo consequat.   But the markdown looks like this:  &gt; "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do &gt; eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad &gt; minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut &gt; aliquip ex ea commodo consequat.   The editor has added in linebreaks where the line would have to cut, when in reality all it needs is this:  &gt; "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat.   And it auto wraps:     "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat.   Why is this an issue? If I remove part of the quote, or add something, like this:     "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, ... dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad   minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut   aliquip ex ea commodo consequat.   the formatting looks odd, because I've removed one of the quote markers:  &gt; "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, ... dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad &gt; minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut &gt; aliquip ex ea commodo consequat.   It also breaks triple click highlighting because of the line breaks, and the only reason is it looks quoteified when you are reading the markdown (not needed nearly as much on this site).  Please can this be changed?    Yes,  is the same question. Let's call this a "please can this be looked at again question".
Stop inserting hard line-wraps in blockquotes! When you use the markdown editor's blockquote feature (the quote button / Ctrl+Q), it inserts hard line-wraps in the markdown source automatically for you. That is, it transforms text like this:  Hindus regard it as an earthly manifestation of the goddess Tulsi, a consort of the god Vishnu.   The offering of its leaves is mandatory in ritualistic worship of Vishnu and his forms like Krishna and Vithoba.   Into text like this:  &gt; Hindus regard it as an earthly manifestation of the goddess Tulsi, a &gt; consort of the god Vishnu.  &gt;  &gt; The offering of its leaves is mandatory in ritualistic worship of &gt; Vishnu and his forms like Krishna and Vithoba.   The editor should instead transform it into this:  &gt; Hindus regard it as an earthly manifestation of the goddess Tulsi, a consort of the god Vishnu.  &gt;  &gt; The offering of its leaves is mandatory in ritualistic worship of Vishnu and his forms like Krishna and Vithoba.   That is, without adding any newlines.   Why on earth does it insert hard line-wraps!? Both these forms look the same when rendered, but the current way makes it more difficult for us to go back and edit the blockquoted text later if need be.   This is particularly objectionable functionality for sites that use MathJax - while the hard line-wraps don't impact the rendered output, the additional &gt; that are inserted do (they manifest as greater-than signs if they get inserted within MathJax $$...$$). See this post on Meta.Math.SE for more details: .    I found  that this behavior is apparently :      The "reflow the text when you click blockquote" is a deliberate feature, intended to improve the readability on quoted text.   Seriously? Are there any browsers that don't soft-linewrap textareas anymore? How is hard-wrapping at 70(?) characters better than soft-wrapping at $textareawidth? If readability is the concern here, then why not hard-wrap all non-code upon post submission?
I'm trying to do a number checker in imessage. We all know that there is no such api, so I'm trying to use the tools at hand. The main took with past issues on this site on this topic.  I made a loop that inserts a number into a string, and by the color of the number (blue - registered, red - missing), using the standard utility Digital Colors Meter determines the color of the number. Then, depending on the color, it either adds a variable with a number from the initial txt file to the new one, or starts the script from the beginning. At least it should be.  But something is going wrong in loop. It checks the color, inserts numbers, everything is fine, but apparently the wrong condition, apparently the wrong data types. It inserts different numbers into the scatter. Some will insert, some will not, regardless of the initial condition. What could be the reason? Where is the error?      tell application "Digital Color Meter" to activate     tell application "System Events"         tell process "Digital Color Meter"             click menu item 1 of menu 1 of menu bar item 4 of menu bar 1         end tell         do shell script "/usr/bin/python -c \"import objc;bndl = objc.loadBundle('CoreGraphics', globals(), '/System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework');objc.loadBundleFunctions(bndl, globals(), [('CGWarpMouseCursorPosition', 'v{CGPoint=dd}')]);CGWarpMouseCursorPosition((" &amp; 1002 &amp; "," &amp; 222 &amp; "));\""         set rgbColors to words of (the clipboard)     end tell     if rgbColors is equal to {"77", "39", "38"} then         exit repeat     else         do shell script "echo " &amp; quoted form of n &amp; " &gt;&gt; /Users/oneone/Desktop/base2.txt"     end if   Only the color check condition for Digital Color Meter is presented here.  Through the do shell, the color is read at the mouse position and the variable is added to the new file. Convergence of $\int\limits_1^{\infty}x^\alpha\sin(x^\beta)dx$ I need to show that $$ \int\limits_1^{\infty}x^\alpha\sin(x^\beta)dx $$ converges if and only if $\alpha + 1 &lt; \beta$. I used substitution and integration to get $$ \lim\limits_{t\to\infty}\int\limits_1^tx^\alpha\sin(x^\beta)dx \overset{u = x^\beta}{\underset{du = \beta x^{\beta-1}}{=} }\lim\limits_{t\to\infty}\left(\frac{1}{\beta}\int\limits_1^{t^\beta}u^{\frac{\alpha + 1 - \beta}{\beta}}\sin{u}du\right) $$ If $\alpha + 1 -\beta &lt; 0$, then we have a product if a function with bounded anti-derivative and a differentiable decreasing function which tend to 0, and from Dirichlet's criterion, the integral converges.   For the converse, I used integration by parts $$  = \frac{1}{\beta}\lim\limits_{t\to\infty}\left(\left.-u^{\frac{\alpha + 1-\beta}{\beta}}\cos{u}\right|_1^{t^\beta} + \frac{\alpha+1-\beta}{\beta}\int\limits_1^{t^\beta}u^{\frac{\alpha + 1-2\beta}{\beta}}\cos{u}du\right) $$ For $\alpha + 1 -\beta\geq 0$, I get that the first term indeed diverges, but this is not enough to show total divergence. How can one show it? Avoiding unused variables warnings when using assert() in a Release build Roots of a functionwith condition $\int_0^\pi f(x) \sin x dx = \int_0^\pi f(x) \cos x dx =0.$ Let $f:[0,\pi] \rightarrow \Bbb R$ be a continuous function which satisfies $\int_0^\pi f(x) \sin x dx = \int_0^\pi f(x) \cos x dx =0.$ Show that $f$ has at least two roots. Hilbert space of harmonic oscillator: Countable vs uncountable? Hm, this just occurred to me while answering another question:   If I write the Hamiltonian for a harmonic oscillator as $$H = \frac{p^2}{2m} + \frac{1}{2} m \omega^2 x^2$$ then wouldn't one set of possible basis states be the set of $\delta$-functions  $\psi_x = \delta(x)$, and that indicates that the size of my Hilbert space is that of $\mathbb{R}$.  On the other hand, we all know that we can diagonalize $H$ by going to the occupation number states, so the Hilbert space would be $|n\rangle, n \in \mathbb{N}_0$, so now the size of my Hilbert space is that of $\mathbb{N}$ instead.  Clearly they can't both be right, so where is the flaw in my logic? How can I concatenate two arrays in Java? I need to concatenate two String arrays in Java.  void f(String[] first, String[] second) {     String[] both = ??? }   What is the easiest way to do this? Allow users to hide connections between accounts This feature request is inspired by the question on Programmers.SE on .   Stack Overflow is a site aimed at professional programmers, and it is used by some employers and some employees to examine or showcase the candidates abilities. I don't see any problem with that, but there is one aspect I'm a bit concerned about. Certain SE sites are far more private than the professional sites like SO. Anyone that participates in Christianity, Judaism, Islam or Biblical Hermeneutics is likely giving out a significant amount of information about their personal belief or world view to anyone who can connect the user name to the actual person. Another example would be controversial topics on Skeptics or Politics; not everyone would like to give their employer access to that kind of information.  The fundamental problem is that the SE platform does not allow for any separation inside one account. Of course one could create separate accounts for private and professional topics, but that requires a significant amount of clairvoyance and a rather annoying user experience juggling separate browsers to log into different accounts at once. An additional problem is that SE has automatic user merge features that can be triggered by logging into two accounts in the same session. I'm not sure how they work exactly, but I suspect that having your two accounts accidentally merged is a real danger if you are not careful.  There should be a mechanism to hide the connection between SE accounts, without having to use separate OpenIDs. For example, if I would like to use my SO account in job applications, I should be able to separate it from all my other accounts. The separation would only be for the publicly accessible part, moderators could still be allowed to see the connection between accounts. And behind the scenes it would just work as it is now, just without any links between the accounts.   The aspects that would need to be changed that I can think of are   the accounts tab in the user profile, that shouldn't show any connections for separated profiles copying the user profile to other sites should not work for separated profiles the network profile should not show the connections between separated profiles Area 51 should also not show the profile connections   This separation would not have to be bulletproof, but it should prevent users googling a specific person to make connections the user does not want to make public. Marketing Cloud custom url expiration How do I add .e00 data into my QGIS project? Please see the following image, where you can find the inconsistency of SO reputation score among different flair themes (one with 7165, while all other three 7265).   I always thought that these four themes are based on the same data until now. Is this a bug? Are different flair themes really updated individually?    P.S.: The inconsistency only shows on my mobile, no problem from my desktop. Abstract algebra book recommendations for beginners. I am taking abstract algebra in this semester. I find that my lecturer didn't provide enough examples for understanding. So I would like to ask what are the recommended books which has lots of solved problems and exercises? The lecturer said in this semester, he will cover group theory, ring theory and a bit of field theory. Which book contains extensive information in these three fields? How is arccos derived? Stupid question but I need to understand:  If $ \cos = \dfrac{\text{adjacent}}{\text{hypotenuse}} $  What is arcosine? $ \text{adjacent} \cdot \text{hypotenuse}$? Is this the same for arcsine and arctangent? Passing functions to setTimeout in a loop: always the last value? How to properly write multiple authors in bibtex file? Regular (non-moderator) users should be able to override deletions by Community user There is a question on  that got deleted by the Community user. This question isn't terrible (we have worse one's there), and I'm not complaining about this question in particular.  I wanted to vote to undelete it. However, it says "A moderator has deleted this post and it cannot be undeleted". This "moderator" is Community!  I understand if a "real" live human moderator (no offense to all non-humans out here) deleted this question that we can't override it. But this is a Robot! It sees that it got a downvote, no answer and little activity for a while and just deletes it.  Can we have "Community user" have rights to delete, but have those "deletions" subject to normal-person override? Help me understand Bayesian prior and posterior distributions In a group of students, there are 2 out of 18 that are left-handed. Find the posterior distribution of left-handed students in the population assuming uninformative prior. Summarize the results. According to the literature 5-20% of people are left-handed. Take this information into account in your prior and calculate new posterior.    I know the beta distribution should be used here. First, with $\alpha$ and $\beta$ values as 1? The equation I found in the material for posterior is   $$\pi(r \vert Y ) \propto r^{(Y +−1)} \times (1 − r)^{(N−Y +−1)} \\ $$  $Y=2$, $N=18$  Why is that $r$ in the equation? ($r$ denoting the proportion of left-handed people). It is unknown, so how can it be in this equation? To me it seems ridiculous to calculate $r$ given $Y$ and use that $r$ in the equation giving $r$. Well, with the sample $r=2/18$ the result was $0,0019$. The $f$ should I deduce from that?  The equation giving an expected value of $R$ given known $Y$ and $N$ worked better and gave me $0,15$ which sounds about right. The equation being $E(r | X, N, α, β) = (α + X)/(α + β + N)$ with value $1$ assigned to $α$ and $β$. What values should I give $α$ and $β$ to take into account prior information?  Some tips would be much appreciated. A general lecture on prior and posterior distributions wouldn't hurt either (I have vague understanding what they are but only vague) Also bear in mind I'm not very advanced statistician (actually I'm a political scientist by my main trade) so advanced mathematics will probably fly over my head. When does the placement of a resistor matter? I've been a programmer for years but am very new to electronic engineering. So far I see people saying it doesn't matter where a resistor goes in your LED circuit as long as it is present, but it sounds like that's the nature of the basic LED circuit.  When does the placement of a resistor start to become important? Preserving signatures of decorated functions What would I do if I want to have a generic method that only accepts types that have overloaded an operator, for instance the subtraction operator. I tried using an interface as a constraint but interfaces can't have operator overloading.   What is the best way to achieve this? In QGIS, I have been learning a few expressions to style my trail maps but still know little and am stumped on what to use to filter my symbol data. I am showing Parking locations on my map. I use a marker symbol as a background element, so I can do callouts. I created a data field and added values to display beside this symbol a number that references a list of parking addresses in the book's text. All good except if the field has no number to display, it is NULL, it does not display my marker symbol. I need to filter this, so it does show even when there is no value in the field.
