Hisoka doesn't want Gon to die, but he still fights him like he wants to fight to the death. What's up with that? It's kinda like he's playing with him, but I'm not sure, because they do have a lot of sexual tension, even when they are fighting. Hisoka will laugh almost hysterically when he and Gon are in close proximity. He's always staring at Gon, like he's the most important thing. Does Hisoka like Gon sexually, or does he merely see him as a toy to play with?
Hisoka hinted that Gon is his treasure and also his prey, but it can't be both, right? Because in the end, he didn't want Gon to die no matter what.  So it's weird that he didn't want Gon to die but also made him his prey to fight till death. Is it sexual for Hisoka or what? I still remember the 'Schwing' thing.
Windows Explorer sort method I'm looking for an algorithm that sorts strings similar to the way files (and folders) are sorted in Windows Explorer. It seems that numeric values in strings are taken into account when sorted which results in something like  name 1, name 2, name 10   instead of  name 1, name 10, name 2   which you get with a regular string comparison.  I was about to start writing this myself but wanted to check if anyone had done this before and was willing to share some code or insights. The way I would approach this would be to add leading zeros to the numeric values in the name before comparing them. This would result in something like  name 00001, name 00010, name 00002   which when sorted with a regular string sort would give me the correct result.  Any ideas? How can I vertically align the numerators of two fractions? I am writing the following formula:  % arara: lualatex  \documentclass{article} \usepackage{mathtools} \usepackage{unicode-math}  \begin{document} \[y_\mathup{COG}=\frac{h}{3}\frac{l_\mathup{c,a}+2l_\mathup{c,i}}{l_\mathup{c,a}+l_\mathup{c,i}}\] \end{document}   which yields:    I don't like the way, the h and l_\mathup{index} is vertically aligned. Is that typical behavior? Good style? Could I avoid that? In the definition of a field one of the required properties is that  every element other than zero has a multiplicative inverse.  It's vague whether the zero is forced not to have an inverse or not, as in is the property  every element other than zero has a multiplicative inverse and zero does not  or  every element other than zero has a multiplicative inverse and zero may or may not?  Regardless, what differences would occur if we adopted one definition as opposed to the other? The Earth is spinning, so why don't we jump and land on a different location? I know there are similar questions on StackExchange but I think it is different and detailed.  The earth is spinning 465 meters/second so why don't we jump and land on a different location?  I googled about this question and I got some answers:   When we jump, we (and the atmosphere itself) also spin along with the earth so we don't land at a different location. (But why we are also spinning along with earth ?) The earth is so big and we are very small relative to earth so the tiny jump won't make any difference.   But according to answer 1, We are also spinning with the earth. But the question is, "why are we also spinning along with earth" ??  Regarding the answer 2, it won't make any difference but logically it doesn't make sense or I just don't understand it.  Here is the followup question,   "When we jump why don't we thrown out of earth due to centrifugal force of the spinning earth ??"  Please provide some detailed answer to these questions. With logic if possible.   This phenomenon is not possible I know, but even if it exists, then traveling will be so easy, we just have to hang on space (with help of helicopter etc.. ) and we can travel the whole world in 24 hours :D $ versus jQuery Java String array: is there a size of method? Internal microphone not working I have an internal microphone in my laptop. I think it uses Intel High Definition Audio. But I can't get it to work with Ubuntu. It doesn't work with either the Sound Recorder or Skype.  On the Input tab in 'Sound Preferences', I just see Internal Analog Input Device... I have Perl code which relies on Term::ReadKey to get the terminal width. My installation is missing this module, so I want to provide a default if the module isn't present rather than throw an exception. How can I conditionally use an optional module, without knowing ahead of time whether it is available. # but only if the module is installed and exists use Term::ReadKey; ...  How can I accomplish this? As a follow-up to :  From what I've seen, this should work as expected:  void greet(){   char c[] = "Hello";   greetWith(c);   return; }   but this will cause undefined behavior:  char *greet(){    char c[] = "Hello";   return c; }   If I'm right, what's the best way to fix the second greet function? In an embedded environment? On a desktop? Increasing extent of Raster? Many questions already ask about this topic ( , , etc.) and their answers vary, but they always give exceptions to the apostrophe-s rule, for example:      6.24 The general rule for the possessive of nouns covers most proper nouns, including most names ending in sibilants."   Examples they give include Kansas’s, Ross’s land, and Jones’s reputation. Exceptions include Jesus’  and Moses’.  Which names does this apply to?  Is the Aeneas’  form correct, or is it Aeneas’s instead? In all the Star Wars movies, R2D2 just boops and beeps his way around. And everyone understands him perfectly, though he is obviously not speaking Basic.  How do people understand him - is there like an astromech language? If so, then would one have to learn it, or is it comprised of feelings and emotions (expressed in beeps), essentially making a tonal language?  If I may be permitted to use an example from the prequels without too many lynch mobs forming, Anakin Skywalker converses frequently with Artoo while in the Naboo fighter, but he couldn't have had much schooling at the age of eleven, especially because he was a slave.  So how would people, Anakin especially, be able to understand astromechs? I first heard this phrase in an episode of Family Guy, and they're typically fans of referencing older shows and movies, especially from the 80s. So I'd assumed it was a fairly commonly known thing.  Then I came across it in a friend's novel. The novel is in a Southern American, older time setting, which is about where I'd expect to find examples of it.  Then I had a look online and couldn't find examples of the phrase or it's origin.  Is there such a phrase and origin? Or is this just a coincidence with people choosing something that sounds equally old-timey? Let $f: \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}$ be continuous. Then $G = \{ (x, f(x) ) : x \in \mathbb{R} \} $ is a closed set.  My try: Suppose $(z_n) =  (x_n, f(x_n) ) $ is sequence in $G$ with limit $(x,y)$. We must show $(x,y) \in G$. Since $x_n \to x$ and since $f$ is continuous, then we must have that $f(x_n) \to f(x) $. Since limits are unique. Then $y = f(x) $. Is this enough to conlude that $(x,y) \in G $ ? Hence showing $G$ is closed ?  thanks Have you ever had a case where you felt compelled to include strange things like a double that in a sentence? If so, then what did you do to resolve this?  For me, I never knew whether it was acceptable grammar. However, what I did learn was that it was a logic distractor, could lead to confusion, and therefore should be reworded to avoid this. Are Fidelius charms stackable? Is it true that $aH = bH$ iff $ab^{-1} \in H$ Let $H$ be a subgroup of a group $G$. The I know that for $a,b\in G$ we have $aH = bH$ if and only if $a^{-1}b \in H$.  My question is if it is also true that $aH = bH$ if and only if $ab^{-1} \in H$? Does it matter where the $-1$ goes?  I am guessing that this is not true since we keep putting the $-1$ on the left element, but I am also thinking that it might be true because they look like the same.  If $G$ is abelian, then it doesn't matter, so a possible counter example would have to involve a non-abelian group. If $H$ is a normal subgroup, then it should also be true because then $a^{-1}bH = Ha^{-1}b$. Comparing SVM and logistic regression Can someone please give me some intuition as to when to choose either SVM or LR? I want to understand the intuition behind what is the difference between the optimization criteria of learning the hyperplane of the two, where the respective aims are as follows:     SVM: Try to maximize the margin between the closest support vectors LR: Maximize the posterior class probability    Let's consider the linear feature space for both SVM and LR.  Some differences I know of already:   SVM is deterministic (but we can use Platts model for probability score) while LR is probabilistic. For the kernel space, SVM is faster (stores just support vectors) Randomly populating procedural shape (or Image Texture) in Cycles Parameter evaluation order before a function calling in C Can it be assumed a evaluation order of the function parameters when calling it in C ? According to the following program, it seems that there is not a particular order when I executed it.   #include &lt;stdio.h&gt;  int main() {    int a[] = {1, 2, 3};    int * pa;      pa = &amp;a[0];    printf("a[0] = %d\ta[1] = %d\ta[2] = %d\n",*(pa), *(pa++),*(++pa));    /* Result: a[0] = 3  a[1] = 2    a[2] = 2 */     pa = &amp;a[0];    printf("a[0] = %d\ta[1] = %d\ta[2] = %d\n",*(pa++),*(pa),*(++pa));    /* Result: a[0] = 2  a[1] = 2     a[2] = 2 */     pa = &amp;a[0];    printf("a[0] = %d\ta[1] = %d\ta[2] = %d\n",*(pa++),*(++pa), *(pa));    /* a[0] = 2  a[1] = 2 a[2] = 1 */  }
