On  on tex.SE (and on many, many other posts on several sites) I once again noticed that pictures uploaded are always made full page width.  This is often way too much for the image. For example in the linked question, I uploaded a math-formatted equation. That would fill the whole width and become enormous. So I have to append white-space on either side of it and upload it like that.  Is there no way to set image sizes? At least to set the sizes to the original image sizes - I would understand issues with users setting their own dimensions, but at the very least the picture should not be shown in larger dimensions that what it is uploaded in.
Is it possible to resize an image in an answer? For example,  has  that should have the image in the answer, but it's too big.  Is there a way to handle resizing?
How to not have an equation in the first line using the align environment? I am making a test where I am asked to add the missing words.     [...] chair is [...] useful piece of furniture.    I would have said that a is the missing word in both the cases, but the test says the words I should have added are the and a respectively.     [...] last time I saw [...] bear, I was travelling in [...] Europe.   I would have added: nothing, a, nothing. The correct answer is: the, a, nothing.  Why is the the correct article to use in both the sentences? How to prove $\gcd(a^2,b^2) = (\gcd(a,b))^2$? How to prove $\gcd(a^2, b^2) = (\gcd(a, b))^2$?  My attempt:  Let $\gcd(a, b) = d$.  Then $d|a$ and $d|b$ then $d^2|a^2$ and $d^2|b^2$. i.e $d^2$ divides $a^2 ~~\&amp;~~ b^2$. I'm a big fan of the podcast Astronomy Cast and a while back I was listening to a Q&amp;A episode they did. A listener sent in a question that I found fascinating and have been wondering about ever since.   From the show :      Arunus Gidgowdusk from Lithuania asks: "If you took a one kilogram mass and accelerated it close to the speed of light would it form into a black hole? Would it stay a black hole if you then decreased the speed?"   Dr. Gay, an astrophysicist and one of the hosts, explained that she'd asked a number of her colleagues and that none of them could provide a satisfactory answer. I asked her more recently on Facebook if anyone had come forward with one and she said they had not.  So I thought maybe this would be a good place to ask. a year on: what does it mean? PLease, dear native English speakers, help me to understand the meaning of the expression "a year on" within the context "The reality is that, a year on, a true 4K standard is still very much a work in progress..." Thank you a lot! In .NET, what's the best way to prevent multiple instances of an app from running at the same time? And if there's no "best" technique, what are some of the caveats to consider with each solution? Plot showing discontinuity where it shouldn't With the following AppleScript code within a "Run AppleScript" action in a Service:  tell application "System Events"     set theSBounds to {{572, 64}, {332, 515}}     set position of window "Google Hangouts - myemailaddress@gmail.com" of application process "Google Chrome" to item 1 of theSBounds     set size of window "Google Hangouts - myemailaddress@gmail.com" of application process "Google Chrome" to item 2 of theSBounds end tell   the Service will only work if the application from which that Service has been called has been added to the list of applications under "Allow the apps below to control your computer." This list is found at System Preferences → Security &amp; Privacy → Accessibility.  Is it possible to modify the AppleScript code somehow so that adding every application on one's computer to the list is not necessary? Or, so that, one only needs to add one item to the list, as opposed to every application on one's computer?  I thought that something like this might work:  do shell script "osascript -e 'tell application \"System Events\"' -e 'set theSBounds to {{572, 64}, {332, 515}}' -e 'set position of window \"Google Hangouts - myemailaddress@gmail.com\" of application process \"Google Chrome\" to item 1 of theSBounds' -e 'set size of window \"Google Hangouts - myemailaddress@gmail.com\" of application process \"Google Chrome\" to item 2 of theSBounds' -e 'end tell'" with administrator privileges   but this code also requires that the application from which the Service is run is added to the Accessibility list.  Note: I only want to run this AppleScript as a Service, and not in an Automator-created Application, because the code receives selected text as its input (system-wide). Do Mandalorians truly never remove their helmets? In episode 3 of The Mandalorian, it is said that Mandalorians never remove their helmets for any reason. Really? Not even to sleep or bathe? Is there any canonical source for this idea? I’m going to assume that the “never” implies “Never removes their helmets in public…” right?  But in flashback scenes to the Mandalorian’s childhood, nobody is really pictured wearing Mandalorian armor let alone helmets. They simply seemed like basic humans who might just be unified by wearing maroon wardrobes all the time.  So what is the deal with this claim? What is the canonical context of the claim?      Looking for in-universe, canonical explanations; not armchair speculation and theories. If none (currently) exist, legends explanation would suffice. Regardless, please provide references and context. I tried writing $y=x^{\sin x}$, so $\ln y=\sin x\ln x$. I tried to rewrite the function as $\ln(x)/\csc x$ and apply l'Hopital to the last function, but it's a mess.   Is there a by hand way to do it? Can I run CAT5/6 cables parallel to electrical cables? How to turn hundreds of text URLs in Excel into clickable hyperlinks? How secure is Activation Lock on iOS 7 (and later)? I see in my company's IT installations that there are numerous disks with one partition occupying all of the space on disk. There is typically something like a /dev/sdb with a partition /dev/sdb1, and the size of /dev/sdb1 is the size of the whole block device. The partition is then mounted with the required file-system format, mountpoint etc.  I do not understand why we would use a partition rather than the whole disk for such (1-partition) configurations. Is there any reason why a partition would be used in this case rather than a whole disk ? Are there any best practices that recommend this approach ?  For example, we could create a Filesystem on a whole raw block device and mount it without needing any partition:  mkfs.ext4 -E stride=16,stripe-width=64 /dev/xvde mount /dev/xvde /mnt/abc   That creates a mountpoint without a specified partition. As a verification:  # sfdisk -l /dev/xvde  Disk /dev/xvde: 6527 cylinders, 255 heads, 63 sectors/track  # fdisk -l /dev/xvde  Disk /dev/xvde: 53.7 GB, 53687091200 bytes, 104857600 sectors Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes   For something with a partition, we get the list of partitions under it:  # fdisk -l /dev/sdb  Disk /dev/sdb: 2000.4 GB, 2000398934016 bytes, 3907029168 sectors Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disk label type: dos Disk identifier: 0x00082e8c     Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System /dev/sdb1            2048  3907026943  1953512448   83  Linux   My fundamental question is this: Is there some advantage in creating a partition and then creating a filesystem on that partition, as compared to creating a filesystem on the whole disk and then mounting the whole disk ? How to use LyX to create PDF file from the command line PGFPlots: Understanding how to draw plots on different layers and arrange them Pgfplots: How to fill area under a curve in a 3d plot similar to \closedcycle in 2d How does Fermat's principle make light choose a straight path over a short path? This is a thought experiment where I have made a &quot;C&quot; shaped hole inside diamond. The refractive index $(\mu)$ of diamond is 2.45. Say we shine a laser from top of the &quot;C&quot; as shown. My calculations show that light reaching A can reach B in the least possible time if gone through the &quot;C&quot;. but I'm pretty sure the perpendicular laser beam travels undeflected and straight down. Though I don't have experimental evidence, I see something wrong either with my intuition or with the theory. It would be great if someone could clarify. *       'a' in the diagram is the thickness of the cutout and all comparable distances can be taken 'a'. How can I get grub2 to boot a different option only on the next boot? In many practical applications, one can consider the Earth-Centered Inertial () reference frame approximately as an inertial reference system, though strictly speaking, it is non-inertial.   Is there any quotable reference, where this claim is supported by a detailed estimation how small the effects are that one neglects if one considers the Earth's frame as inertial?
