I'm using a regex pattern to locate a string to be deleted, which is delimited by two strings (say, "START" and "FINISH"). So it's STARTsome_string_to_deleteFINISH  Problem is that START and FINISH strings are html tags which have &lt; > characters.  When I use online regex testers, they pattern works fine but when I insert the expression in Wordpress plugins that I use (e.g. WPEMatico that handles RSS to New Posts), I keep getting errors.  I tried escaping special characters with backslash. Doesn't work.  Any advice?  Here's an example of the string I used:  ========================================== (\&lt;!-- Facebook Comments Plugin for WordPress).+?(&lt;\/comments&gt;) ==========================================
For example, this regex  (.*)&lt;FooBar&gt;   will match:  abcde&lt;FooBar&gt;   But how do I get it to match across multiple lines?  abcde fghij&lt;FooBar&gt;

I see the word "distribution" used all over the place in different contexts.  For example, a discrete random variable has a "probability distribution."  I know what this is. A continuous random variable has a probability density function, then for $x\in\mathbb{R}$, the integral from $-\infty$ to $x$ of the probability density function is the cumulative distribution function evaluated at $x$.   And apparently just "distribution function" is synonymous with "cumulative distribution function," at least when talking about continuous random variables (question: are they always synonyms?).  Then there are many famous distributions.  $\Gamma$ distribution $\chi^2$ distribution, etc.  But what exactly is a $\Gamma$ distribution?  Is it the cumulative distribution function of a $\Gamma$ random variable?  Or the probability density function of a $\Gamma$ random variable?  But then a frequency distribution of a finite data set appears to be a histogram.  Long story short: in Probability and Statistics, what is the definition of the word "distribution"?    I know the definition of distribution in Mathematics (an element of the dual space of the collection of test functions equipped with the inductive limit topology), but not Probability and Statistics.

Print numbered paragraph after title with Biblatex My question is related with Biber and Biblatex (latest versions). I need to quote the number of a paragraph of an old Christian text which is published within a book printed nowadays.   More clearly, I'm working with this Biblatex item (it's in Italian):  @INBOOK{Clemente1984Lettera,   author = {Clemente di Roma},   title = {Lettera di Clemente Romano ai Corinti},   year = {1984},   booktitle = {I Padri apostolici},   editor = {Quaquarelli, Antonio},   location = {Roma},   pages = {41-92},   publisher = {Città Nuova} }   I quote it in a common LaTex file with the BibTex key:  \cite[42]{Clemente1985Lettera}   With a humanistic Biblatex style, the final citation is:  Clemente di Roma, Lettera di Clemente Romano ai Corinti, in "I Padri apostolici", edited by A. Quaquarelli, Roma 1985, p. 42.  Anyway, I need to quote specifically the n. 2 of the letter of Clement, so I have to print this number just after the title "Lettera di Clemente Romano ai Corinti". So, I'd like to have this citation:  Clemente di Roma, Lettera di Clemente Romano ai Corinti, n. 2, in "I Padri apostolici", edited by A. Quaquarelli, Roma 1985, p. 42.  Now, I can find no Biblatex field to store the "n. 2" text, and no way to print it after the title. Of course, I could create a specific item in the bibliographic file in which the title field, or another one which is supposed to follow it, contains the "n. 2" indication. Anyway, this solution is very bad to me, because I should fill my archive with items of specific citations, and not of single titles.  What I'm looking for is what I've already implemented in the Bibfilex citations system (), which is moreover far less powerful that Biber: the possibility to add a pipe in the postnote of a BibTex key to separate a possible indication of a number of a paragraph, to be printed just after the title, from the pages of the volume. So a key like that  \cite[2|42]{Clemente1985Lettera}   should print   Clemente di Roma, Lettera di Clemente Romano ai Corinti, n. 2, in "I Padri apostolici", edited by A. Quaquarelli, Roma 1985, p. 42.  Anybody knows how to do that with Biber and Biblatex?  Thanks. Complete list of Lollipop system icons shown in notification bar? Is there a complete list of these?

What exactly is contrast matrix (a term, pertaining to an analysis with categorical predictors) and how exactly is contrast matrix specified? I.e. what are columns, what are rows, what are the constraints on that matrix and what does number in column j and row i mean? I tried to look into the docs and web but it seems that everyone uses it yet there's no defition anywhere. I could backward-engineer the available pre-defined contrasts, but I think the definition should be available without that.  &gt; contr.treatment(4)   2 3 4 1 0 0 0 2 1 0 0 3 0 1 0 4 0 0 1 &gt; contr.sum(4)   [,1] [,2] [,3] 1    1    0    0 2    0    1    0 3    0    0    1 4   -1   -1   -1 &gt; contr.helmert(4)   [,1] [,2] [,3] 1   -1   -1   -1 2    1   -1   -1 3    0    2   -1 4    0    0    3 &gt; contr.SAS(4)   1 2 3 1 1 0 0 2 0 1 0 3 0 0 1 4 0 0 0 Is propagation of uncertainties linear?

Remove paint from the head tube I'm planning to build a new bike from scratch.  Part of that is buying a new frame, and possibly facing/reaming it. That's actually the part I'm scared of the most.  Fortunately, the brand I'm targeting, Surly, seems to do that in the factory. But as they state, there may be some paint left where it should not be:     Since Surly frames are faced prior to painting, it is possible to   shave the paint off the head tube and BB shell ends with a carpet   knife blade.  This usually results in an acceptable result, saving you   money, but we still recommend having it done the proper way to ensure   longest life from your components.   So what is the "proper way" to remove the extra paint, if the frame is properly reamed/faced already?  Should I choose not to do it the proper way, which components are going to suffer? I suppose at least the headset and bottom bracket, but could the frame suffer as well?
