First, this is about beta sites that might not even exist later, but imagine they will for the sake of this question. Taking the latest 10 questions on , I see 3 questions related to Mac OS X:    From my point of view, all 3 could also fit on , the 1st one could also be on SO, the 2nd and 3rd could also be on SU. How we will deal with this type of situation? When should we close a question as &quot;Belongs on [...]&quot;? I already see identical questions asked on 2 or 3 different sites (by the same or different users). Is there anything planned to link these questions or something like that? I mean something else than the already existing &quot;Linked&quot; feature. Something to include answers from site X in site Y or something like this.
It is possible to migrate a question from one Stack Exchange site to another by closing, but if I have a question that I think is on-topic for multiple Stack Exchange sites, is it OK to post it on both (multipost)?   For example, I have a question that's earned me the tumbleweed badge on SO and I'm not sure what the best thing to do with it is. It's about a web server so it might be answerable on Server Fault but it's really more of a programming thing, hence the posting the question on Stack Overflow.    Is there any way to make the question visible on multiple sites (crosspost) and then accept the answer wherever it came from?
Destroying a Planewalker before its ability is used Say my opponent plays a planeswalker during their first main phase.  I have a  or some other effect that will kill it after it is already in play, but before they use any of its abilities.  I could respond to them using a +1 ability, but I want to kill it before that effect goes on the stack.  In most casual situations, it would basically come down to whether I say "Hero's Downfall" first, or they say "+1" first.  But I can't imagine that's how it's supposed to work.  Is there a time between when the planeswalker hits the battlefield and when they activate its abilities that they must let me respond? It seems to me that situations like this arise frequently, and they are resolved simply by who speaks up first, which is horrible for such a rules-oriented game. How can I get the size of an array from a pointer in C? Why "hide" Luke from his father somewhere Anakin knows? In Episode II Anakin goes to the Lars homestead and meets his extended family. How would sending Luke there be "hidden" to Vader in any way? At least Leia had a random planet and family. chpasswd apply changes in the chroot directory I use a brick and mortar bank for some of my savings. I’d love to get a CD interest rate closer to what Ally or other online banks offer.   Are brick and mortar banks will to negotiate with customers on interest rates? For instance, if I went into a branch and said I’m moving my money to Ally unless the bank matches Ally’s rates, do I have any chance of getting them to? Proving ${n \choose p} \equiv \Bigl[\frac{n}{p}\Bigr] \ (\text{mod} \ p)$ which app triggers the "Windows features" dialog? I keep getting this window titles "Windows Features" It then says that:     An app on your PC needs the following Windows feature:      .NET Framework 3.5 (Includes .NET 2.0 and 3.0)   and I can choose to install or skip (being warned that my apps might not work correctly).  There is also a "telll me more about this feature" link but it explains about the .NET framework.  I want to know if there is a way for me to know which application is it that asks for this feature as the window just keeps popping out of the context of activating a new app...  This all started just a few days ago after some unattended update on my windows 10. Most of us have heard of Einstein's amazing equations which describe the universe around us, yet only some of us understand what the equations are actually saying.      What are these equations actually saying, and is there a simple (relatively) way to derive them?   Here they are, from :  $$R_{\mu\nu}-\dfrac{1}{2}g_{\mu\nu}R+g_{\mu\nu}\Lambda=\dfrac{8\pi G}{c^4}T_{\mu\nu}$$  I have a vague notion of what a tensor is (it describes things as an array and higher orders define more complex transformations), but I don't understand what all of these tensors are doing. And why is there a $c^{4}$  in the equation!? What will happen if I upgrade the laboratory while upgrading a spell or unit? While playing Clash of Clans, I am upgrading my lightning spell then decided to upgrade my laboratory, then I did. What will happen to the lightning spell I am upgrading? I assume it is still upgrading cause they don't refund my elixir. Declare IDisposable for the class or interface? How do I get a remote host IP address if I don't have ping, and don't have any bind utilities like dig, nslookup, etc?  I need an answer that does not include 'install X' or 'use sidecar container'. I am looking for something that relies on nothing more than bash and the basic shell commands. Aligning three figures next to each other based on text width Problem:  I am trying to align three figures next to each other with text centered to each figure. This is going well until the box for the third box does not adjust after the text width.  Minimal Working Example (MWE):  \documentclass{article} \usepackage{graphicx} \usepackage{caption}  \begin{document}  \begin{figure}[!tbp]   \centering   \begin{minipage}[b]{0.2\textwidth}     \includegraphics[width=\textwidth]{icon-password.eps}     \caption*{Login system}   \end{minipage}   \hfill   \begin{minipage}[b]{0.2\textwidth}     \includegraphics[width=\textwidth]{icon-shopping.eps}     \caption*{Shopping cart}   \end{minipage}   \hfill   \begin{minipage}[b]{0.2\textwidth}     \includegraphics[width=\textwidth]{icon-clock.eps}     \caption*{Temporary information}   \end{minipage} \end{figure}  \end{document}   Outputs:   Desired outcome:  To get the width to adjust after the text so that "Temporary information" can be written out in one line instead of two. Restrictions on the variables for this identity are as follows: $a \geq m \geq 0$ and $n \geq b \geq 0$.  I have not gotten far with this, but these are my very rudimentary thoughts: We need to define a special element, somehow, and then carve up the $m + n$ remaining elements to be chosen out of the remaining pool of $a + b$ elements by writing $a + b = a - i + b + i$. From the $a - i$ pile, we choose $m$ things. From the $b + i$ pile, we choose $n$ things. My problem is, what is going on with this special element? How is it being defined so as to split things in this precise way?  A hint would be great for the moment. Why do close votes expire? I nominated  to be closed as a dup. I see that two other people upvoted my comment, so they might have voted to close it as well. Now, we didn't gather enough votes, and all close votes expired ... and I can't re-vote to close. What is the motivation behind expiring close votes ... especially for close-as-duplicate? Update: Please take into consideration:  Beta Stack Exchange sites have a smaller community, and fewer people with voting privileges Closing as a duplicate is &quot;usually the right thing&quot; IMHO - much less controversial than closing as off topic. After a vote is reset, the original users can't vote again. On a small site, this makes it even harder to get a consensus of five votes. I have:  \documentclass[a4paper,11pt]{report}   with no special customisation.  In one page, at the end of a section, I have a big figure with two paragraphs of text below it, and these two paragraphs are not enough to fill up the rest of the page.  When I use the \documentclass as above I get some extra white space at the end of the page, which is fine: the vertical spacing from the figure caption and between the two paragraphs is standard and correct.  But if I switch to:  \documentclass[a4paper,11pt,twoside]{report}   I get extra blank space between the figure caption and the 1st paragraph and also between the 1st and 2nd paragraph.  I want to use twoside to set the headings with fancyhdr. How can I get rid of these ugly white spaces? Can the manual and tome magic items that increase stats be used multiple times by bypassing the century wait time via the spell Sequester? Assume we have a Wizard who is at least level 13 and can reliably cast  many times (either through acquired spell scrolls, or has acquired enough material components for it to be a non-issue), has a safe place (through the spell ) to be under the influence of Sequester for many centuries, and has access to the Manual of Bodily Health, Manual of Gainful Exercise, Manual of Quickness of Action, Tome of Clear Thought, Tome of Leadership and Influence, and Tome of Understanding.  Per the item descriptions in the DMG:     ...your [STAT] score increases by 2, as does your maximum for that score. The manual then loses its magic, but regains it in a century.   Now, normally this would be a once-in-a-lifetime use, or maybe twice (due to the lifespan of the races), but if a wizard used Sequester on themself, many years can pass without growing older:     ...[willing target creature] falls into a state of suspended animation. Time ceases to flow for it, and it doesn't grow older. You can set a condition for the spell to end [before the spell is dispelled by the caster].   So, assuming that time continues to flow for the magic items, but not for the sequestered wizard, can they study these books and take the necessary long rests, Sequester for a hundred years,  “wake” from the Sequester, and then repeat an arbitrary-but-finite number of times for an arbitrarily high (but finite) improvement to their stats?  To end the cycle and escape the demiplane, the wizard would simply Plane Shift out:     ...You can specify a target destination in general terms ... and you appear in or near that destination. How can I create and extract zip archives from the command line? I have a framed picture about two feet by three feet in size that weighs about one pound (not a sheet of paper). I want to hang it onto a wall that is of full-blown hard concrete and covered with paper wallpaper (not vinyl - just paper).  The default way would be to drill the concrete and insert an anchor but that would damage the wall surface.  Is there a way to hang such picture onto such wall without damaging the wall? This was working perfectly on 17.10 but after upgrading to 18.04 yesterday, when the lid is closed the screen turns off but doesn't suspend properly.  I travel around a lot and immediately noticed the heat (and battery draining) when taking it out of the travel case.  I've tried uncommenting these lines in /etc/systemd/logind.conf  HandleLidSwitch=suspend HandleLidSwitchDocked=suspend   and restarted but didn't make any difference. What is the difference between the "...", '...', $'...', and $"..." quotes in the shell? Sometimes I see shell scripts use all of these different ways of quoting some text: &quot;...&quot;, '...', $'...', and $&quot;...&quot;. Why are there so many different kinds of quote being used? Do they behave differently or affect what I can do inside them?
