I have developed a JavaFX project on Windows and now I want to convert jar file to Dmg file to run on mac. Please recommend a tool that runs on Windows and can create a DMG file for a Mac.
Is it possible to build a .dmg file (for distributing apps) from a non-Mac platform? And if yes, how?
(Fitzpatrick Advanced Calculus 2e, Sec. 2.4 #12)  For $c \gt 0$, consider the quadratic equation $x^2 - x - c = 0, x &gt; 0$.  Define the sequence $\{x_n\}$ recursively by fixing $|x_1| \lt c$ and then, if $n$ is an index for which $x_n$ has been defined, defining  $$x_{n+1} = \sqrt{c+x_n}$$  Prove that the sequence $\{x_n\}$ converges monotonically to the solution of the above equation.  Note: The answers below might assume $x_1 \gt 0$, but they still work, as we have $x_3 \gt 0$.    This is being repurposed in an effort to cut down on duplicates, see here: .  and here: . As stated above, I can't connect to my home wi-fi with natty but can with Windows 7. The strange thing is I that I have gotten it to connect to other password protected networks with natty, it's just mine that it dosn't like.   I am using a WPA2 pass-code with AES Encryption and all other devises work fine on my network. Laptop used is a Dell Latitude D430. Can I shrink the transaction log file on a mirror database? This is a followup question to  about why I couldn't shrink the log file on the principal database.  To make a long story short, I setup database mirroring but forgot to make sure the job that backed up the transaction log was running again, and the transaction log grew to almost 60GB.   Since mirroring was set up, this size increase was duplicated on the mirrored server, and eventually took up all the disk space and made the mirror database unusable.  Per  about transaction log maintenance on a mirror database, you can't back up the log on the mirror, but when asked specifically in  about how to shrink an overgrown log file on a mirror database, a  was left that      One way to do this would be to failover to the mirrored database and   do the shrink there. Thoroughly test this out in a non-production   environment to ensure it has the behavior you want/expect.   This seems to suggest that there might be other ways to shrink the log file on a mirror, and this method might not necessarily be safe to do on a production server.  Is there a way to safely shrink the transaction log file on a database mirror? What prevents this magnetic perpetuum mobile from working? How do you detect a network disconnection when downloading a file in java? I'm trying to solve a question where I need to write $\frac {1}{1+z^2} $ as a power series centered at $z_0=1$  I'm not allowed to use taylor expansion. So my first thought was to rewrite the function in a form where I can apply the basic identity:  $$ \frac{1}{1-x} = \sum_{n=0}^\infty x^n $$  So let's rewrite the original function $f(z) = \frac {1}{1+z^2} $ and use above identity:  $$\frac {1}{1+z^2} = \frac {1}{1-(-z^2)} $$ But observe that I need to center it at $z_0=1$ so I rewrote it to:  $$\frac {1}{1-(-z^2)}=\frac {1}{2z-(-(z-1)^2)} $$  I can factor out $\frac {1}{2z}$ and use the basic identity to get : $$\frac {1}{2z}\frac {1}{1-\frac{(z-1)^2}{2z}} = \frac {1}{2z}\sum_{n=0}^\infty \left(\frac{-(z-1)^2}{2z}\right)^n =\frac {1}{2z}\sum_{n=0}^\infty \frac{(-1)^n(z-1)^{2n}}{(2z)^n} = \sum_{n=0}^\infty \frac{(-1)^n(z-1)^{2n}}{(2z)^{n+1}}$$  The problem is if I ask wolfram alpha: power series$ \frac{1}{1+z^2} $centered at z = 1 it will give me a different answer that doesn't match the sum I found.  Can anyone help me figure this one out? What am I doing wrong? The level 4 spell Polymorph requires concentration to maintain.  The subject retains their personality and alignment, but they have the mental statistics of the new form, which must be a beast and cannot speak or cast spells.  If a caster targets themselves with this spell, can they concentrate to maintain it, or does this depend on the mental statistics of the beast form they choose?  This situation certainly occurs in practice, since Wizards reaching level 10 in the School of Transmutation gain the Shapechanger feature.  This allows them to cast Polymorph, but only upon themselves and only to change into a beast of CR 1 or lower.  Beasts with CR 1 or less range in Intelligence from the Giant Eagle (Int 8) to the Frog (Int 1). Is there such a thing as a deposit-only bank account? My employer wants me to give my routing-numbers, social-security numbers, and basically everything else required to take money out of my account, to several third-party direct-deposit websites (one for weekly paychecks, one for mileage reimbursements, etc.).  I am not comfortable giving my identity information away to all these places.  I'd like to give them access to an account which they can only deposit into, never withdraw (either a separate account, or, even better, a deposit-only alias to my real account).  Does such a thing exist?    [Edit] I'm not worried about the companies so much as I am worried about bad guys who inevitably hack those companies' databases, or get hired to work there.  This type of account would also be handy for giving read-only access to sites like mint.com or quicken.com, easing my mind about their hackers/unscrupulous employees. Spider-Man is the one franchise that is on course to a third reboot in a span of 15 years.   My question is what was the reason for these numerous reboots of Spider-Man which pretty much follow the same origin story for the Marvel superhero.  Has the comic creator or studio ever spoken out about the reasoning behind the same? Prove that the function $f(x)=\frac{x}{x^2+1}$ is continuous at $x=-1$. Prove  that the function $\displaystyle f(x)=\frac{x}{x^2+1}$ is continuous at $x=-1$. You should give a proof that is directly based on the  definition of continuity.   I saw many similar questions on this website, but none of them gave me a satisfactory answer. I more or less understand how epsilon-delta proofs work but my problem lies more in the algebraic manipulations probably. So here's my "attempt".  Definition of continuity; for $f:A \to \mathbb{R}$     $$\forall \varepsilon &gt;0 \ \exists\delta&gt;0\ \forall x \forall x_0 \in A:|x-x_0|&lt;\delta \Rightarrow |f(x)-f(x_0)|&lt;\varepsilon$$   So from what I understand, the procedure for epsilon-delta proofs are as follows: 1. Plug the point of interest $x_0$ into $|f(x)-f(x_0)|&lt;\varepsilon$ 2. Write $x$ in terms of $\varepsilon$ 3. Then plug $x$ into $|x-x_0|&lt;\delta$ 4. Find $\delta$ in terms of $\varepsilon$. Done    At step 1, we have $\left|\dfrac{x}{x^2+1}+\dfrac{1}{2}\right|&lt;\varepsilon$. Step 2 is where I'm stuck because of the 2nd degree polynomial in the denominator. First, I did this: $\left|\dfrac{x}{x^2+1}\right|&lt;\left|\dfrac{x}{x^2+1}+\dfrac{1}{2}\right|&lt;\varepsilon$. Then, I wasn't too sure about what to do, I thought about getting rid of the "$1$", but that would screw up my inequality. I thought about factoring $x^2+1$, but it doesn't have any real roots. I tried inverting the fraction, but that led me to nowhere. And I've already exhausted the tools I have. How do I proceed?  Apparently, epsilon-delta proofs are the most basic building blocks of analysis. And I'm already failing, this is both embarrassing and depressing... How to overlay images I want to overlay one image with another using CSS. An example of this is the first image (the background if you like) will be a thumbnail link of a product, with the link opening a lightbox / popup showing a larger version of the image.   On top of this linked image I would like an image of a magnifying glass, to show people that the image can be clicked to enlarge it (apparently this isn't obvious without the magnifying glass). How to run scripts without typing the full path? Table with actions per row Using "align" instead of "array" in an array of equations "Require Installation Of Untrusted Packages" while upgrading with the update manager It didn't fixed the error. So, how do I fix my GUI update?  For every software I have to install it from command line because I got same error when install software from Ubuntu Software Center. I would like to grant the  app write access to external storage in Marshmallow.  The app does not request it explicitly (unlike other apps that seem to use the Storage Access Framework to do so).    In the app permissions screen, there is no permission listed for external storage, only for 'storage' (which seems to mean internal storage).  So there does not seem to be any direct way to grant this permission.   My phone is rooted and I could just run Syncthing as root - but this option creates many problems and sometimes results in the app hanging indefinitely.    Is there any other way around this problem? How do humans dominate the Federation in Star Trek? If I have flagged a post, show me a "flags" link in my profile Interpreting the 'metric' column in routing table I'm a little confused about the output I'm seeing in my routing table, particularly the 'metric' column:  $ route -n Kernel IP routing table Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface 0.0.0.0         192.168.0.1     0.0.0.0         UG    0      0        0 wlan0 172.16.35.0     0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0 vmnet1 192.168.0.0     0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U     9      0        0 wlan0 192.168.82.0    0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0 vmnet8   According to the man page, metric indicates the 'distance' to the target. I was a little confused about what exactly "target" was. I assumed it was my router (it goes to gateway 0.0.0.0, which then goes to my router at 192.168.0.1). Thus, I expected the metric to be a single hop to my router. However, it's 9! Why is this so number high? I am working on the following problem asked in an examination: "What is the maximum number of cylindrical pencils of 0.5 cm diameter that can be stood in a square shaped stand of 5cm × 5cm inner cross section? 1. 99    2. 121   3. 100    4. 105." A simple calculation yielded me the answer 100.  But the answer in the key is 105. I don't how such an answer is possible. Any hint please.....Thanks in advance!
