How do you describe a person who gives the most importance to little details (of little value) while ignoring the aspects of much greater importance?  It would describe one who places more importance on, say, presentation/reporting than on actual content, showcasing small and less important work as opposed to the most difficult, innovative and challenging work.  Is there a word or phrase which can be used to describe this behavior?
I'm looking for an idiom or saying that I could use when people are focusing too much on small details and not seeing the big picture.  A couple that come to mind are "being penny-wise and pound foolish" and "rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic". However, the former doesn't fit what I'm thinking of because the present activity might not be wise. The latter implies too much about impending doom.  For example, let's say some company is spending all their time refining a small detail in their product, while ignoring a major opportunity shift in the industry. What phrase could I use there?
More than once I've accidentally run a number of commands and polluted my bash history. How do I close my terminal without saving my bash history? I'm using Fedora. Closing as "off topic" has just gotten painful I know that useability and friendliness are given priority in the features implemented on StackExchange, but after using the new close-as-off-topic flow for the first time I would have to say I'm somewhat underwhelmed.  Why do we not have a simple It's off topic type reason? And why do I have to write half a book chapter as my custom close reason, especially when I can go back and edit the automatically posted comment so that it's way shorter?   This question complaint is prompted by  here on Meta. It's off topic, plain and simple. We now have a bunch of people wanting to close it, all potentially writing their own custom close reasons, it's just messy suboptimal. Regardless of how nice and friendly you want to be to the user, this particular question shouldn't need an explanation.    Does the off topic flow have to stay this way? Can we allow higher rep users to close as off topic without having to specify a (really long) custom reason, maybe have some canned reasons like we used to?  Edit: just to be clear, there are still three canned close reasons, but none of them were applicable to this example. The second one is closest, but does not appear to seek input... is quite different to It's a question, but doesn't belong here in any way, shape, or form. Can I read the hash portion of the URL on my server-side application (PHP, Ruby, Python, etc.)? Consecutive/Rolling sums in a vector in R How to calculate overlap between empirical probability densities? I'm looking for a method to calculate the area of overlap between two kernel density estimates in R, as a measure of similarity between two samples. To clarify, in the following example, I would need to quantify the area of the purplish overlapping region:  library(ggplot2) set.seed(1234) d &lt;- data.frame(variable=c(rep("a", 50), rep("b", 30)), value=c(rnorm(50), runif(30, 0, 3))) ggplot(d, aes(value, fill=variable)) + geom_density(alpha=.4, color=NA)     A similar question was discussed , the difference being that I need to do this for arbitrary empirical data rather than predefined normal distributions. The overlap package addresses this question, but apparently only for timestamp data, which doesn't work for me. The Bray-Curtis index (as implemented in vegan package's vegdist(method="bray") function) also seems relevant but again for somewhat different data.  I'm interested in both the theoretical approach and the R functions I might employ to implement it. PostgreSQL CPU 100% after configure Wal log shipping hot standby I have configured Hight Avaliabily WAL Log Shipping Hot Standby (SSL) with one node. But after I configure, both hosts (primary and secondary) take 100% CPU usage. The most strange is because I have only one database called &quot;TESTE&quot; with one table called &quot;EXAMPLE&quot; to check if replication was OK. The replication worked perfectly but I don't understand why my CPU takes 100% usage because I don't have any application connect on my cluster.

Specific cases include:   If I've taken plenty of advanced courses in field X in the process of completing a degree in another field, can I apply to graduate school in X? What if I haven't taken many courses in X, but I have acquired a good grasp of X through self-study or working in a related field? What if I've never studied X, but I have done very well in an unrelated field?  Could I be admitted to graduate school in X on the basis of general intellectual promise, and then make up the missing background after enrollment?   Note that this question is an attempt to provide a comprehensive answer, to avoid the need for a profusion of field-specific questions on this topic (see the associated ).

Is there any out-of-the-box or simple way to do this in JUnit 4?  Background: Obviously, I don't want to just print the name of the test. I want to load test-specific data that is stored in a resource with the same name as the test. You know,  and all that. How do I troubleshoot high 'svchost.exe' usage in Windows 7?

I need to find the distance between points in separate layers along a stream network. I have source sites for macro-invertebrates and sites where they are lacking. I need to find the distance between the source sites and the sites where they are not through the stream network.   I tried the linear referencing toolbox but the locate features along route tool can only use one layer of points and has not way to differentiate between sources and not source sites.  Any ideas?  I am using ArcMap 10.3? Can I change the font systemwide (10.8.3) Is it possible to change the systems font? (finder, alerts, menus etc) Is there any way to shorten URL in SMS in Marketing Cloud?

Prove that simultaneously diagonalizable matrices commute Two $n\times n$ matrices $A, B$ are said to be simultaneously diagonalizable if there is a nonsingular matrix $S$ such that both $S^{-1}AS$ and $S^{-1}BS$ are diagonal matrices.      a) Show that simultaneously diagonalizable matrices commute: $AB = BA$.      b) Prove that the converse is valid, provided that one of the matrices has no multiple eigenvalues. Is every pair of commuting matrices simultaneously diagonalizable?   My attempt:  a) Let $M=S^{-1}AS$ and $P=S^{-1}BS$, then it follows that $A= S^{-1}MS$ and $B=S^{-1}PS$. Thus $AB =S^{-1}MSS^{-1}PS = S^{-1}MPS = S^{-1}PMS$ (is it wrong that I switched MP to PM?) $=S^{-1}PSS^{-1}MS=BA$.   b) How can I do this?
