I want to edit my Clover boot entries from within Windows 10 to add back my linux mint listing in clover. I could boot my Linux Mint from clover until I was forced to reinstall my Linux mint instance (moved to Linux Mint 20 [Ulyana], at which point it disappeared from Clover's boot menu items list. As I can no longer access my Linux Mint installation, i find my self stack i Windows.
Here is what I do:   restart machine with Windows 8.1 determine "EFI System" partition with the Disk Management utility run command prompt as administrator type diskpart type select disk 0 then select partition 2 then assign open windows explorer windows+e refresh if the drive is not showing F5 try to open drive by double clicking   What I expected to happen:  I can at least look at my EFI partition files.  What happened:    after clicking continue    after clicking "security tab" link, no security tab    What do I need to do to access my EFI partition on Windows 8.1?
Is there a way to make the following return true?  string title = "ASTRINGTOTEST"; title.Contains("string");   There doesn't seem to be an overload that allows me to set the case sensitivity.. Currently I UPPERCASE them both, but that's just silly (by which I am referring to the  issues that come with up- and down casing).  UPDATE This question is ancient and since then I have realized I asked for a simple answer for a really vast and difficult topic if you care to investigate it fully. For most cases, in mono-lingual, English code bases  answer will suffice. I'm suspecting because most people coming here fall in this category this is the most popular answer.  answer however brings up the inherent problem that we can't compare text case insensitive until we know both texts are the same culture and we know  what that culture is. This is maybe a less popular answer, but I think it is more correct and that's why I marked it as such. Sum of two squares modulo p Java Hashmap: How to get key from value?

Question Close Updates Unmet dependencies unable to fix I'm running ubuntu 14.04. I cannot use software center to install anything, even a local deb package so I have to rely on Terminal.  Recently I was trying to install mysql-server which generated error which I could pin-point was the required version of libstdc++6 . My system had 4.8.x while mysql 5.6 required >=4.9. Trying the usual upgrading process and unsuccessful, I consulted my sys admin, who tried installing the 4.9 package manually(using a local .deb package), which failed as well citing unmet dependencies.   At present, what I have is a system with error saying no new software can be installed.  The sudo apt-get install -f gives following output:  Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree        Reading state information... Done Correcting dependencies... failed. The following packages have unmet dependencies:  libstdc++6 : Depends: gcc-4.9-base (= 4.9.2-10) but 4.9.1-0ubuntu1 is installed  libstdc++6:i386 : Depends: gcc-4.9-base:i386 (= 4.9.2-10) but 4.9.1-0ubuntu1 is installed E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.   I checked for held packages using  dpkg -l | grep ^h dpkg -l | grep hold   Result: nothing.  Also tried to find the broken package, if any but the file  /var/log/dist-upgrade/apt.log doesn't exist.  So, what should/can I do now. I am trying to use a file repository for updating linux/ubuntu on a non-connected machine. The architecture for this machine (uname -a):  x86_64 GNU/Linux   The results of dpkg --printarchitecture are:  amd64   It is a Trusty Tahr amd64 machine, and it specifically says this, for example, in the aptitude sources.list file. Also, the "About this Computer" in ubuntu specifically says the machine is 64-bit. So, I installed the amd64 packages on the machine. However, when I try to do apt-get update, I get errors such as:  W: Failed to fetch file:/var/spool/apt-mirror-trusty/mirror/archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/trusty/main/binary-i386/Packages  File not found   So, in other words, even though it is a 64-bit machine, apt is inexplicably trying to read i386 packages. Why is it doing this and how can I make it use the 64-bit packages?  Note that there is nothing in sources.list that specifies i386.  The only uncommented line in the sources.list file is:  deb file:///var/spool/apt-mirror-trusty/mirror/archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu trusty main restricted universe multiverse Ridge & LASSO norms This post follows this one:   Here is my question:  As far as I know, ridge regularization uses a $\ell_2$-norm (euclidean distance). But why do we use the square of this norm ? (a direct application of $\ell_2$ would result with the square root of the sum of beta squared).  As a comparison, we don't do this for the LASSO, which uses a $\ell_1$-norm to regularize. But here it's the "real" $\ell_1$ norm (just sum of the square of the beta absolute values, and not square of this sum).  Can someone help me to clarify? How can anything ever fall into a black hole as seen from an outside observer? The event horizon of a black hole is where gravity is such that not even light can escape. This is also the point I understand that according to Einstein time dilation will be infinite for a far-away-observer.  If this is the case how can anything ever fall into a black hole.  In my thought experiment I am in a spaceship with a powerful telescope that can detect light at a wide range of wavelengths.  I have it focused on the black hole and watch as a large rock approaches the event horizon.  Am I correct in saying that from my far-away-position the rock would freeze outside the event horizon and would never pass it? If this is the case how can a black hole ever consume any material, let alone grow to millions of solar masses.  If I was able to train the telescope onto the black hole for millions of years would I still see the rock at the edge of the event horizon?  I am getting ready for the response of the object would slowly fade.  Why would it slowly fade and if it would how long would this fading take?  If it is going to red shift at some point would the red shifting not slow down to a standstill? This question has been bugging me for years!  OK - just an edit based on responses so far.  Again, please keep thinking from an observers point of view.  If observers see objects slowly fade and slowly disappear as they approach the event horizon would that mean that over time the event horizon would be "lumpy" with objects invisible, but not passed through?  We should be able to detect the "lumpiness" should we not through? How to understand degrees of freedom? From , there are three interpretations of the degrees of freedom of a statistic:     In statistics, the number of degrees of freedom is the number of   values in the final calculation of a statistic that are free to vary.      Estimates of statistical parameters can be based upon different   amounts of information or data. The number of independent pieces of   information that go into the estimate of a parameter is called the   degrees of freedom (df). In general, the degrees of freedom of an   estimate of a parameter is equal to the number of independent scores   that go into the estimate minus the number of parameters used as   intermediate steps in the estimation of the parameter itself (which,   in sample variance, is one, since the sample mean is the only   intermediate step).      Mathematically, degrees of freedom is the dimension of the domain of a   random vector, or essentially the number of 'free' components: how   many components need to be known before the vector is fully   determined.   The bold words are what I don't quite understand. If possible, some mathematical formulations will help clarify the concept.  Also do the three interpretations agree with each other? Is a 2-hour transit time enough to catch a connecting flight in Muscat airport?

In the computational topology literature, the reduction algorithm for computing the Smith normal form of a boundary matrix uses the notation $b_j &gt; 1 \: \text{ and }\: b_j\mid b_{j+1}$ in the context of the diagonal elements of the Smith matrix. Can anyone give me an idea for what it means? After converting to nodes in order to render using Cycles I've no idea where to enable the z-transparency. I guess the image textures alpha channel needs to be pluged somewhere but I've no idea which node would be suitable.

I use it enough now in my German language studies that it has become second nature for the critical marks and much faster than using the alt+keypress shortcuts.   Only problem is that it's so second nature that sometimes it doesn't pop up quickly enough so I end up typing the character and the number shortcut sometimes (IE u2 instead of ü). Anyone know how to make it appear with less delay? Ideally, I'd love if I could just hold the character and press the number but it appears that OSX insists on waiting for the menu to pop up.
