My goal is: run some native Windows 10 apps at startup time  The way I would do it with an installable app is right click on the app from then start menu, go to containing folder and then make a shortcut to the executable file   in shell:startup but there is no such an option to go to containing folder for apps installed from Microsoft store
I want to know where the Metro applications (Mail, People, Messages, ...) executable file path is.  Also, how can I run Mail application when my PC starts?
Man/Tree Symbiosis It was an old book... I'm pretty sure it was a book, and pre-1990's I think. The basic plot was this man somehow interacted with this tree, and as a result he became a carrier of the tree's 'seed'. They were in a symbiotic relationship: the man got a much longer life, more strength, etc.; but when he did die the tree would grow up from his body. I can't retrieve my Facebook password I haven't been to my Facebook account in a while and I can't remember my password. When I try to have it reset, it goes to a security question, but I can't remember that either.    Is there anything I can do? What language should I speak to my daughter? I am a Greek, born, living and working in France, married to an Albanian woman, working all day in English.  I have a 2,5 year old daughter, who lived from:    September 2014 to April 2015 and February 2014 to April 2014   in Albania (11 months, approx. 36% of her lifespan), where people only talked albanian to her.  I speak only French with my child, BUT I only speak Greek with my wife, because she refuses to speak French with me, because she is insecure in French. Yet, my wife speaks Albanian to my child.  These facts lead to the circumstance, that the language development of my child seems a bit delayed, because she doesn't yet make three word sentences.  Though I am a little worried about her language development, I want to know, if there is a problem if I also start speaking English to her on a regular basis, since I heard that children are capable growing up learning different languages.  Is there something like a burnout/depression danger in children? Since I can see it in her eyes that she wants to communicate but is not able to and I can see it bothering her a lot.  Should I cut my communication with my daughter down to only French? Should I cut it down to speaking Greek with her, since this is the language I speak with her mother every day? Or should I just continue mixing everything up? Or can I even start speaking English with her?  I don't want her to struggle to the point of extreme frustration, but if this means that in the end, her language development will catch up to normal kids, I am inclined to let her struggle a bit. So are there any longterm deficits for her, if I introduce English?  Please advice.  George How to measure time taken by a function to execute I'm attempting to build an LED bed lamp that will be powered by 240V mains. The LEDs are  which if I use with a 12V supply and have calculated correctly will draw 0.24W each. I plan to use 5 or 6 of them in the lamp so will consume a maximum of 1.5W.  Initially I thought I'd use a transformer and bridge rectifier to get the required 12V DC but the transformer weighs a ton and is too bulky. The next option was to use a  but I'm wondering is there is a better way?  I think it would be possible to power the LEDs directly from mains using only a rectifier without mains and stepping down the voltage but then it's not safe. Are there any smallish components that can both isolate the mains and supply a DC voltage? Mac renames itself automatically - host name is incorrect in terminal I've got a handleful of macs (all with unique names) and on occasion it prompt a notice about saying another computer on the network as this name and adds a (2) or (3) to my mac.    How can I set the host name from the command line? Is it grammatically  wrong  to say      It's been too hot  in the last / the past few days      It's been too hot for the last / the past few days     I saw this following sentence also, can we omit in it?     He's had two new cars in the last / in the past three years   as     He's had two new cars  the last / in the past three years     Is there a strict rule in using of preposition or non-preposition when we use the last/past ?  What is the structure when I refer to weeks, months ? Semicolons at the end of list items In school, we were taught to end each list item with a semicolon. But I have never actually seen this. Can somebody please confirm this? Should we end each list item with anything at all?  I've seen people use periods after each list item, colons, and even commas. But I've never seen a semicolon at the end of each item — and even if I have, it would be that rare that I've forgotten.  Example:   item; item; item; item How do I configure Nautilus to open at my Documents folder instead of my home folder?  I've scoured this site and found answers instructing users to edit the /usr/share/applications/nautilus.desktop file, replacing %U with the path to the desired default directory. I've edited all the variants of nautilus.desktop in the said directory, but none of the edits has an effect. I've checked all the files after editing them to make sure that I saved the edit effectively, and all look good to me.   I've edited every file to read as follows:  Exec=nautilus --new-window /home/judy/Documents   I've also edited the org.gnome.Nautilus.desktop file, just to be sure, with no joy.   I'm running Ubuntu 15.10.  Note: if I enter nautilus /home/judy/Documents from the command line, Nautilus properly opens in the desired directory.  Is there a simple way that I can configure an icon in the launcher bar to run this command and have the Nautilus icon that looks like a metal file drawer?  Thanks. I'm pulling my hair out over this one. Nothing happens when I press "Submit" on duplicate suggestion For example, in . Texture is missing in Cycles?

What are the biggest changes between UA Ranger and PHB Ranger? 50 question per month limit? I get a message:     Sorry, you are only allowed to ask 50 questions in a 30 day period   Why is there a question limit? 50/month is just not enough :) Is it really going to damage a bike to wash it with a hose? I was chatting to the guys at my LBS the other day about how they get my bike so clean when I take it in for a service. They said they use compressed air to clean it.   They warned I shouldn't use any high pressure water because it can get into the sealed bearings and cause damage. I also noted on the  (right at the end) that you should "Never spray your bicycle with water under pressure".  How much of an issue is this? Rinsing the bike with the hose is such a convenient way to wash off loose grit and then the soap after washing. How do you clean your bikes? What is the equivalent of gksudo in Kubuntu/KDE? In regular Ubuntu (Unity/Gnome), I use gksudo to run GUI programs with root privileges. I'm trying out Kubuntu (or KDE) now -- what do I use? I was about to add an extra signal handler to an app we have here and I noticed that the author had used sigaction() to set up the other signal handlers. I was going to use signal(). To follow convention I should use sigaction() but if I was writing from scratch, which should I choose? Apply empty style to the entire bibliography Disallow closing of questions with a certain number of question / answer upvotes With reference to this currently open question   At the time of writing, it has 3 close votes yet has 7 question upvotes and the single answerer (11 upvotes) will have been awarded the enlightened badge (silver).  Therefore in the opinion of many (i) the question adds value and (ii) the answer adds value.  As a staring point for discussion, I suggest that 5 net question upvotes (and perhaps 5 answer net upvotes) should be enough to keep a question permanently open. Let's haggle over the numbers though. Thoughts? The representative point of a cluster or cluster center for the k-means algorithm is the component-wise mean of the points in its cluster. The mean is chosen because it helps to minimize the within cluster variances (which is to say that it is minimizing within cluster squared Euclidean distance, since its the same). Now, when I want to use a different distance metric, like L1 (Manhattan distance), I would be minimizing the within cluster absolute deviations (if I choose to). I was looking at what the centers calculation would be like, because the mean won't reduce the new objective function, and I found this on the Matlab documentation of their kmeans function for the distance parameter     cityblock - Sum of absolute differences, i.e., the L1 distance. Each centroid is the component-wise median of the points in that cluster.   Now, how did they come up with the component-wise median? How does a median minimize absolute deviations? Why is AES considered to be secure? The security of RSA is based on the integer factorization problem, which is a very well defined and understood mathematical problem. This problem must be solved in order to fundamentally break RSA.   What about AES (and others based on the same idea)? Why is it difficult to break? Is there any mathematical principle that ensures its security?
