To better describe the above problem, whenever I start up my Ubuntu/Windows 10 Machine and select Ubuntu, whenever the machine tries to start the GNOME Desktop Environment, it says it started it successfully. however, I never get a graphical desktop environment to use. I can fix this by logging into tty3 and typing gnome-session but I don't really want to do that as, for some reason, that skips login. Can anyone help?
Which Mac is suitable for Blender 2.8? I am considering purchasing a Mac for my godson who will be using it to run Blender 2.8.  I know very little about this program.  All I can find are requirements for a Mac that will run earlier versions of Blender.  Would someone please recommend a list of requirements for a Mac (or a link to a list of requirements) that I could use to find a model that can run 2.8?  Thank you in advance for all your help! Sincerely, M. Lap Is there a way to add some custom font on a website without using images,  or some other graphics?  For example, I was working on a wedding website, and I found a lot of nice fonts for that subject. But I can't find the right way to add that font on the server. And how do I include that font with CSS into the HTML? Is this possible to do without graphics? I am using the nnls() function from the nnls package in R to do a linear regression for regressors $x_i$ and observations $y$. The function delivers beta coefficients $\beta_i\geq{0}, \forall i$. However, is it possible to apply the constraints only to some regressors so that $$\beta_k \geq 0 \quad k \in \{1...,10\}, k\neq i \\  \beta_i \in \mathbb{R} \quad i \in \{1...,10\}$$ given that I have 10 regressor variables? The nnls package also offers the possibility to enforce some coefficients to be negative and others to be positive via the function nnnpls(). However, I only want the positive constraint for some parameters, the other ones can be either positive or negative (i.e., unconstrained). Why do we tag questions? My question—my meta-question as the case may be—concerns the purpose of these words referred to as "tags". Let me be clear: I use tags. The site supports them, so why shouldn't I? My understanding of their reason for existing is tragically incomplete.   Are they used for searching? Are they useful in any other way, or do they merely act as decoration?

How to make pipes work with Runtime.exec()? Hi I'm solving some exercise problems in my text : "A Course in Mathematical Statistics".  I'm in the chapter "Point estimation" now, and I want to find a UMVUE of $\theta$ where $X_1 ,...,X_n$ are i.i.d random variables with the p.d.f $f(x; \theta)=\theta e^{-\theta x}, x\gt0$.   I know that $E(X_i)=1/\theta,$ for each $i$, and also have that $\bar{X}$ (or equivalently $\sum_1^n X_i$) is a complete sufficient statistic for $\theta$. But I cannot go any further here. Somebody can help me? DMed for the first time yesterday and one of the things I feel I need to sort out, among other comments, improvements, and similar, is how combat itself is actually initiated. The main example I want to use involves  attempting to generate surprise conditions by players. Here the characters have entered a ruined city and generally been noisy about the whole thing - using a spell to make their voice louder and literally ask if there is anyone about. Any enemies around probably know what something is about to kick off but arguably don't know precisely what. After resting the PCs head up a long flight of steps to a temple on the edge of the city. At the top only one crests and finds 3 bandits lounging around, chatting, and doing whatever bandits do in their spare time. After a brief exchange of pleasantries a combat starts:  DM &quot;The bandit spits in your direction 'we're not done looting the temple, so you can clear off', and starts raising his crossbow as his mates emerge from their cover behind the pillars... PC &quot;I cast Firebolt at Bandit Keith&quot; DM &quot;Hang on, I hadn't finished, everyone rolls for initiative...  Which sparked a debate about whether or not the PC could preemptively cast/attack before the combat starts by &quot;instant actioning&quot; (as above) as I was describing the start of the combat. As far as the bandits are concerned a lone half-elf who is pretty heavily armed has popped up in front of them, not even tried to be diplomatic, and ended up saying something rather suggestive about their mothers. The PC then asked about it being &quot;surprise&quot; because the bandits wouldn't necessarily expect an attack, but my view of &quot;surprise&quot; is closer to an ambush where one party is unaware of the other's existence. (This precise example is close to how  works, however this specific PC was always the first of the party to go into rooms (only one with darkvision) and consistently felt they should get free rounds at the start of combat based on declaring attacks before I could &quot;start&quot; the combat.) The second example the party came to more bandits, who were not alert immediately, in an underground room. They used magic to yell something obscene at the bandits and shut off all the torches so the bandits were effectively blinded. At this point they wanted to burst into the room casting spells, swinging maces, and playing some &quot;meaty chords&quot; (the bard's words, not mine). Again they wanted surprise arguing that, despite the fact that the bandits were yelling and cursing in confusion, they couldn't be sure they were actually being attacked as such. In the end a character with darkvision wanted to sneak in to a corner and again wanted surprise based on passing stealth rolls, so they would start the &quot;combat&quot; by firing a crossbow. At that point I think I relented because it was clear that they would do anything to try and win combats in a single round. In a nutshell, my question is: &quot;how liberally can the concept of surprise be applied to combat - is it only when one party is literally unaware of a threat (as I read the rules), or just when they are caught slightly off guard by the exact situation?&quot; NB I already plan to address the attempts at interrupting descriptions with actions next session, because it happened at other times and actually threw me off quite a bit. Empty vector menu in QGIS on PC with French as default language I have a friend who is playing with me on a server we've created. Unfortunately, he is on a  Mac whereas I am on a Windows machine. I told him that I should be able to compile and send a .minecraft folder to him so that we can both play. Unfortunately, he can't find his .minecraft folder where it is supposed to be. Is it hidden and how can I unhide it? We all know that speed of gravitational waves (GW) and that of light in space are exactly the same (= $c$).  We also know that space is medium for GW.   Does that mean space is also the medium for light?  Because both of them are waves, and speed of a wave is property of the medium.   Is there any other way to justify the identical speed of the two? How to distribute the objects on a sphere evenly? I want to replicate this mesh -    I think the best way is using a particle system of cubes. So I need to create a sphere of simple circles. It is necessary that in each circle the vertices are at equal distance from each other. But I don't know how to create those circles.

I'm trying to really intuitively understand every number here. I will just post the output and comment on what I found out. There might (will) be mistakes, as I'll just write what I assume. Mainly I'd like to know what the t-value in the coefficients mean, and why they print the residual standard error.   Call: lm(formula = iris$Sepal.Width ~ iris$Petal.Width)  Residuals:      Min       1Q   Median       3Q      Max  -1.09907 -0.23626 -0.01064  0.23345  1.17532    This is a 5-point-summary of the residuals (their mean is always 0, right?). The numbers can be used (I'm guessing here) to quickly see if there are any big outliers. Also you can already see it here if the residuals are far from normally distributed (they should be normally distributed).  Coefficients:                  Estimate Std.

Also, the standard error is $\sigma_{\beta_i}$. I'd like to know how this is calculated.  I have no idea where the t-value and the corresponding p-value come from. I know $\hat{\beta}$ should be normal distributed, but how is the t-value calculated?  Residual standard error: 0.407 on 148 degrees of freedom   $\sqrt{ \frac{1}{n-p} \epsilon^T\epsilon }$, I guess. But why do we calculate that, and what does it tell us?  Multiple R-squared: 0.134,  Adjusted R-squared: 0.1282    $ R^2 = \frac{s_\hat{y}^2}{s_y^2} $, which is $ \frac{\sum_{i=1}^n (\hat{y_i}-\bar{y})^2}{\sum_{i=1}^n (y_i-\bar{y})^2} $. The ratio is close to 1 if the points lie on a straight line, and 0 if they are random.  What is the adjusted R-squared?  F-statistic: 22.91 on 1 and 148 DF,  p-value: 4.073e-06    F and p for the whole model, not only for single $\beta_i$s as previous. The F value is $ \frac{s^2_{\hat{y}}}{\sum\epsilon_i} $. The bigger it grows, the more unlikely it is that the $\beta$'s do not have any effect at all.
