How to download a package without installing it I know the name of a package in a directory that I already added, and I want to download it without installing it, how is that possible?   Suppose I have already installed it, can I already find the package (or its content)?  Thanks a lot guys
E: Package 'guile-1.8-dev' has no installation candidate this is an error i got I have apt-get 0.7.23.1 on host machine. I do not have root, thus not able to update it, or install other packages.  I want to download .deb packages with it, but neither  apt-get -d bash   (Invalid operation bash)  nor  apt-get -d install bash   (do not have root)  work.  On my home machine with a newer version of apt-get I can  apt-get download bash   and it does exactly what I want it to.  How can I perform the same on the host machine?
Where does the phrase "on the lam" come from? According to the Online Etymological Dictionary, lam means:     "flight," as in on the lam, 1897, from a U.S. slang verb meaning "to run off" (1886), of uncertain origin, perhaps somehow from the first element of lambaste, which was used in British student slang for "beat" since 1590s.    Does anyone know of any other explanations? What are the maximum bag space and Pokemon storage? How many upgrades are needed to reach the limits? In shell scripts used for unit testing with dynamic libraries in a directory other than the typical @rpath, I have previously been able to set DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH to set the directory containing the libraries. Under 10.11.1, bash seems to ignore attempts to set this environment variable:  $ sh -x testscript.sh + DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH=/Users/something/testinglibs + export DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH + exec printenv   and DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH is not present in printenv's output.  Is this a security-related hack in 10.11's shell? I haven't been able to find this change documented in man pages or online.

After the New Republic gains control of Coruscant through the Galactic Concordance, did Luke Skywalker attempt to reclaim (or even visit) the former and still very much intact Jedi Temple, now converted to be the deceased Emperor's palace?   If Luke is so insistent on saving a tree just because it belongs to the Jedi and the Empire stole it, then shouldn't reclaiming the Jedi Temple be even higher priority?  If he did, is he aware of the Sith shrine beneath it? Which is something even Yoda does not know. And if he didn't, why didn't he? I need to run something as sudo without a password, so I used visudo and added this to my sudoers file:  MYUSERNAME ALL = NOPASSWD: /path/to/my/program   Then I tried it out:  $ sudo /path/to/my/program [sudo] password for MYUSERNAME:    Why does it ask for a password? How can I run/use commands as root with a non-root user, without asking for a password? I hope this isn't a duplicate.  Similar questions that I found are over a year old.  I have seen cases where shortly after an upvote (perhaps on an old answer?), the summary in my user activity dropdown shows inconsistent counts:    Particularly, the Slid a div offscreen using jQuery answer shows +40, when it was only updated once yesterday.  Now, if this is a monthly total for this question, then it is correct, but when I refreshed later I got:    Now it shows +10, and other entries completely disappear.  So, what is this supposed to show me?  At the very least I am confused about what I am supposed to see here.  Here is another example:    This shows +20 for the same question as before, after I received a single upvote last night.  What gives?  You can see from my reputation that there was only a sinle upvote recently: What is the formula for this numerical series? Exponential of the differential operator I am not sure whether this question is even well-posed. But today I learnt that $e^Df(x) = f(x+1)$ where $D$ is differential operator and  $$e^D \triangleq \sum_{i=0}^{\infty} \frac{D^i}{i!}.$$  (ref. )  So I was curious as to whether the differential equation  $$\frac{df(t)}{dt} = e^Df(t) = f(t+1)$$  has any solutions apart from $f = 0$?

I'm trying to use an api with a feedforward neural network for time series forecasting.  For dense aggregate data it works fine, but for sparse data it sometimes forecasts negative values, even though my historical data has only positive values.   The source code is very dense, and I might be missing a line or two, but as far as I can tell, the input layers and the hidden layers are all ReLU nodes.   Assuming I am correct, how can a network with only ReLU layers lead to negative values, especially if none of the training data has negative values? How does the British-Irish Visa Scheme (BIVS) work?
