Every day, people post questions on Stack Overflow that need migration to SF, SU, or meta (which, by the way, sucks since a lot of those people don't have access to SU yet). People seem to have a tendency to downvote these questions, even if it isn't necessarily a "bad" question (which is when downvotes are sanctioned, correct?).  Why is this?
I suggest that when a post is migrated from one site to another, that the question vote score get reset to zero (or perhaps only a negative vote score is reset to zero). Often people will downvote a question when the only thing that's "wrong" with it is that it's posted on the incorrect site. After migration, those downvotes hang around as a negative score and may unfairly bias the treatment of the question.
Fixing scrolling in nano running in tmux in mate-terminal The problem:   I open a terminal (in Linux Mint, so mate-terminal) zsh is the shell Then I run tmux Edit a file with nano Scroll up and down that file with the cursor Issue: When scrolling down in nano, only the bottom half of the terminal window gets refreshed Issue: When scrolling up in nano, only the top half of the terminal windo gets refreshed   The complete nano view of file does not get refreshed in my terminal window when scrolling. Any tips?  Edit: my .tmux.conf  It seems that this line specifically is the culprit (as commenting it out fixes the problem):  set -g default-terminal "xterm-256color"   I'm pretty sure I added that line because I have issues even running nano during an SSH session.  Here is the full file:  set-option -g default-shell /bin/zsh  # Make sure tmux knows we're using 256 colours, for # correct colourised output set -g default-terminal "xterm-256color"  # The following were marked as "unknown", so # I do know what I'm doing wrong. #set -g mode-mouse on #setw -g mouse-select-window on #setw -g mouse-select-pane on  # Attempting to stop "alert" sound upon startup # but none of these are working... set-option bell-on-alert off set-option bell-action none set-option visual-bell off Addressing a former office-holder by that office's title When is it appropriate to use an "expired" honorific to address or refer to a person?   In the U.S., former state governors are occasionally referred to as "Governor So-and-so", although they have not held that office for several years. I see this happening most often when the former governor is actively campaigning for a new office (usually U.S. President), and my impression is that it's done only by someone with an interest in the campaign (for or against) rather than a (relatively) neutral party like a newspaper.  Certainly this could be used as a jab: in a political campaign for high office, addressing one's opponent by a former title — lower than one's own — could imply that the opponent is not qualified for the new job. It could also be used the other way around, to remind listeners that a candidate one supports used to hold an important title.  I'm curious whether there are formal rules for this in the U.S., or at least style or journalist guidelines, for various offices. Are ambassadors, for example, entitled to some sort of emeritus honorific? Return single column from a multi-dimensional array When induction proofs need a choice function Reading the comment to  the user makes the argument that one can pick a dense subset of a separable vector spaces without relying the axiom of countable choices. Since the comment got a lot of up votes, I guess it's correct, but to me this seems very strange. My rule of thumb was/is the following: We can get by without a choice function if   There is a canonical choice at each iteration. The proof doesn't actually require the iteration process to terminate.   None of these seem to be satisfied in the present case, unless there is a canonical choice for the dense subset, or the set is dense at some finite iteration, so my question is:   When can I tell if an induction arguments relies on the existence of a countable choice function? How to split a very long equation (using AMSMATH package)? Does anybody know how to add the shapefile name to a field in the file's attribute table?  I've found a description:     'You have to use inline variable in CalculateField like %Name% in   expresssion so that whatever the name of the file is, the string will   be inserted based on Name of the dbase file !'   I've tried to CalculateField tool with %Name%, but I got message:  Executing: CalculateField "2011-11-6 15_41_point" DBFName %Name% PYTHON # Start Time: Thu Dec 08 23:34:23 2011 WARNING 000405: No records within table Succeeded at Thu Dec 08 23:34:24 2011 (Elapsed Time: 1.00 seconds)   Where is my mistake? For , his accounts tab shows three entries for "Database Administrators". It's the same account listed three times: What did Hegel mean by 'world spirit'? I understand that Hegel intends to justify the history of mankind by stating that every town and society that has existed has been a test indirectly arranged by the 'world spirit' in order to eventually create a town in which people would live ethically, and that this process has been done in order for the 'world spirit' to become aware of its freedom. But what exactly is this 'world spirit'?   In the last quiz of a course I'm taking (I´ve taken this year a philosophy course at college), I wrote that the 'world spirit' was some kind of parasitic entity which inhabits every human being that has existed and is going to exist. Does this seem right? Possible Duplicate:          How do you convert a C++ string to an int?  Assume you are expecting the string to have actual numbers in it ("1", "345", "38944", for example).  Also, let's assume you don't have boost, and you really want to do it the C++ way, not the crufty old C way. Genetically modified humans study insectoid alien miners with super-intelligent hive-mind This is a short story that appeared in a collection. Two genetically-modified humans (corporate anthropologists, basically) travel to a planetoid inhabited by an insect race that is mining the planet in order to study the race. While there, they are practically ignored, as the individual members of the race lack consciousness. The humans determine a type of pheromone is used to control the worker caste, and co-opt several members to create a living area. They make plans to put the mining towards human ends, but before that can happen they are discovered. The presence of the artificial pheromones wakes up a hive-mind, super-intelligent bug, who then bargains with the surviving member of the team (the man) after killing and taking over the female member of the team.  The collection was read at some point between 2000-2005. Can we have a list of all the Stack Exchange domains somewhere, for firewall purposes? I work behind an really annoying firewall, and I just want the net admin to add all the SE websites to the whitelist. Right now I've lost access to Stack Overflow's authentication, but not Meta's... so I have to come here before I log in there.  It's driving me nuts. Basically I just want to add an exclusion rule for all SE domains; not only the website domains, but also the content domains such as gravatar.com, quantserve.com, the domain that holds static content, etc... I was wondering on the following and I probably know the answer already: NO. Is there another number with similar properties as $e$? So that the derivative of $\exp(x)$ is the same as the function itself. I can guess that it's probably not, because otherwise $e$ wouldn't be that special, but is there any proof of it? Number of possible permutations of n1 1's, n2 2's, n3 3's, n4 4's such that no two adjacent elements are same? For a given inner product space $V$, I would like to prove the inequality $$\|\mathbf{x}+\mathbf{y}\|^2 + \|\mathbf{x}-\mathbf{y}\|^2 = 2(\|\mathbf{x}\|^2 + \|\mathbf{y}\|^2).$$  We see that $$\|\mathbf{x}+\mathbf{y}\|^2 + \|\mathbf{x}-\mathbf{y}\|^2 = \langle\mathbf{x}+\mathbf{y},\mathbf{x}+\mathbf{y}\rangle + \langle\mathbf{x}-\mathbf{y},\mathbf{x}-\mathbf{y}\rangle,$$  which by linearity $$=\langle\mathbf{x},\mathbf{x}+\mathbf{y}\rangle + \langle\mathbf{y},\mathbf{x}+\mathbf{y}\rangle + \langle\mathbf{x},\mathbf{x}-\mathbf{y}\rangle - \langle\mathbf{y},\mathbf{x}-\mathbf{y}\rangle.$$  I've been trying to figure out how to go about this proof using linearity in the second argument of an inner product, but my textbook does not say that linearity necessarily holds in the second component. If it does, how would I go about the rest of this proof? If not, should I be potentially using some aspect of conjugate symmetry to prove this statement? What does $\dot\sim$ notation (dot over tilde) mean, in the context like $x \mathrel{\dot\sim} \mathcal N(0,1)$?  Turns out it is easier to find how to typeset it correctly:  that one should type \mathrel{\dot\sim} instead of simply \dot\sim to fix the spacing issue -- than to find what it actually means. It has only been used  on CV until now; is it standard? For ridiculously small hard drives (8GB), what Ubuntu Based (although not necessarily official) distribution offers the smallest installed size?  Let me clarify: I still want a certain amount of personal file space, preferably a few gig. I also don't have a problem with performance, while it is mediocre, a 2.6GHz single-core and 1GB of ram suffice to run ubuntu fine, but i find that it  uses 6-7GB of space. I am aiming for closer to 4GB. Is it possible to associate non-blend files with Blender? Is there a way to make Blender auto import files that are not .blend when you open them?  For example if you open a .fbx file by double clicking on it, and you have Blender set as default application, then import it to a new .blend.  Is it possible to make Blender import this .fbx file just like you would do it manually by using File > Import > FBX?  By default, Blender just opens up and loads default new scene when you open anything that is not .blend file.
