I'm using a skin modifier to create a straight line between two vertices, to simulate a cord being stretched between two moveable points.  I'm following the suggestion in this response  (minus using soft bodies, since my cord doesn't need to have curves).  The cord shows up in editing and even in Rendered Mode for viewport shading, but it's not in my final renders. I have 'Use modifier for render' set to true for all four modifiers for this line (the anchor hook, the moveable hook, the skin, and the subsurf) but I'm not sure what else I need to set to make this show up in the actual render.      (I'm also new to blender so I'm guessing I'm missing something obvious, but I haven't found any other questions on this)
This is meant to solve this problem once and for all. What is every reason an object isn't showing up in a render or viewport in when using the cycles render engine?
Defender of the Realm hat broken, or just badly worded? Description of the hat unlock requirement:     at least 5 flags dismissed as helpful and at most 20% of non-disputed flags declined   Does "dismissed" mean something unusual here, or is this hat not unlocking properly? I'm not sure if that means "since winter bash started" or "since your account was created": if the former, I've flagged 8 items so far today, of which 6 were marked "helpful" (the other two are still active; none have been disputed or declined). If the latter, the flag page indicates I've flagged 391 items (plus 6 for spam), of which 1 was declined (which incidentally, I assume that was by accident, given that the question was closed soon after for the reason I flagged it for), 1 was disputed (that one was legitimate), and 21 are still open. That is definitely way under 20%.  So what's up with that unlock?  edit: it appears to be the case (further edit: this has now been confirmed first-hand) that this hat unlock disregards any flags that are the flag equivalent of voting to close. I put forth that if this is intended behavior, well, it shouldn't be (if it's to equalize the playing field for over-3k-rep people, it should just also count votes-to-close. Though granted, I suppose in the scheme of things it really doesn't matter much, as it'll all go away in a couple weeks anyway. But dang it, I want to show off all the flagging I do! :p) Universal Chord Theorem Let $f \in C[0,1]$ and $f(0)=f(1)$.   How do we prove $\exists a \in [0,1/2]$ such that $f(a)=f(a+1/2)$?  In fact, for every positive integer $n$, there is some $a$, such that $f(a) = f(a+\frac{1}{n})$.  For any other non-zero real $r$ (i.e not of the form $\frac{1}{n}$), there is a continuous function $f \in C[0,1]$, such that $f(0) = f(1)$ and $f(a) \neq f(a+r)$ for any $a$.  This is called the Universal Chord Theorem and is due to Paul Levy.  Note: the accepted answer answers only the first question, so please read the other answers too, and also this answer by Arturo to a different question:     This is being repurposed in an effort to cut down on duplicates, see here: .  and here: . How to download image using requests "Two are better than one" or "Two is better than one"? I just came across the phrase "Two are better than one", but I had always heard it in my head as "Two is better than one". This is partially due to the Boys Like Girls song. Which one of these is actually correct? The + vowel letter I've been told that when "the" is proceeded by a vowel sound, like "apple" or "hour", it's pronounced as "thee" and not as "thu".  But after listening to a couple of songs, I noticed that sometimes this "rule" is not followed. Take for example the two Katy Perry's songs, "Roar" and "The one that got away". In the first she sings "I got thee eye of thu tiger", but in the second she sings "Thu one that got away".  I don't know if it was sang this way to better suit the song melody (I understand nothing about those techniques), but I got confused. What's the correct pronunciation?  Thanks in advance. What does the term saturating nonlinearities mean? I was reading the paper  and in section 3 were they explain the architecture of their Convolutional Neural Network they explain how they preferred using:     non-saturating nonlinearity $f(x) = max(0, x). $   because it was faster to train. In that paper they seem to refer to saturating nonlinearities as the more traditional functions used in CNNs, the sigmoid and the hyperbolic tangent functions (i.e. $f(x) = tanh(x)$ and $f(x) = \frac{1}{1 + e^{-x}} = (1 + e^{-x})^{-1}$ as saturating).   Why do they refer to these functions as "saturating" or "non-saturating"? In what sense are these function "saturating" or "non-saturating"? What do those terms mean in the context of convolutional neural networks? Are they used in other areas of machine learning (and statistics)? I want to output two different views (one as a string that will be sent as an email), and the other the page displayed to a user.  Is this possible in ASP.NET MVC beta?  I've tried multiple examples:  1.      If I use this example, I receive the "Cannot redirect after HTTP   headers have been sent.".   2.      If I use this, I seem to be unable to do a redirectToAction, as it   tries to render a view that may not exist. If I do return the view, it   is completely messed up and doesn't look right at all.   Does anyone have any ideas/solutions to these issues i have, or have any suggestions for better ones?  Many thanks!  Below is an example.

How to prove useful property of logarithm of generating functional in QFT? How to prove that $\ln(Z(J))$ generates only? I can't find the proof of this statement, and have only met its demonstrations for case of 2- and 4-point. After I read that companions don't drain the fusion core of a Power Armor when wearing it, I decided to try giving my armor to Nick so I'll always have it close by if I need it.  But I was wondering if there are any other drawbacks to that. For example, does the Armor get damaged or destroyed when the companion is under fire?

(hydrostatic paradox) Consider two different shaped containers having same area: one is cylinder, the other is like an inverted pyramid (roughly). Both have the same level of water, the weight of the inverted pyramidal container will therefore be greater than that of the cylinder. But I know from Pascal's law that the pressure should be same in both containers. If the base areas are the same then the force (weight as measured by a scale) should also be the same. Why are the weights different? How do I create tools with multiple properties? I have a file with a number of lines in a file filename.

Number formation from given digits I was asked this question in a recent interview. You are given two digits $0$ and $9$. Using only these two digits you must form the least positive number that is a multiple of a given '$n$' . The value of $n$ will be provided before hand. For example if we are given $n$ as $7$ then the answer will be $9009$ .  I tried using some basic divisibility principles but was not able to come up with a correct solution and code it up.
