Show whether:  $$\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{n!}{n^n}$$  converges.
I can clearly see that $\dfrac{n!}{n^n}\to 0$ when $n\to\infty$. But how do I know if the sum $$\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{n!}{n^n}$$ is convergent or not? I know this might be basic, but thank you if anyone can help me.
I'm trying to compile a kernel for a 32bit single-core Intel Atom machine. Needless to say, the compile is taking inordinate amounts of time. It's been going for 2 hours and it's still only halfway through the driver modules.  Compiling a kernel on my main desktop only takes 15 minutes but it's a 64bit machine. Can I cross compile to generate a 32bit kernel package from the better machine? Unable to install Cisco Packet Tracer 7.3 on Ubuntu 20.04 This is a pretty simple question, at least it seems like it should be, about sudo permissions in Linux.  There are a lot of times when I just want to append something to /etc/hosts or a similar file but end up not being able to because both &gt; and &gt;&gt; are not allowed, even with root.  Is there someway to make this work without having to su or sudo su into root? Text formatting now allowed in comments (List of proven and disproven abilities) I'm writing a php program that pulls from a database source.

Is there any intuition or meaning regarding Cauchy-Riemann equations? Holomorphic functions are one of the most beautiful objects in mathematics. However, Cauchy-Riemann equations are a little bit of a mystery for me. What does that mean intuitively when a function satisfyes those equations? As I understand it, electromagnetic waves have two components which are the result of each other, i.e., when a moving electric charge creates a changing magnetic field at point X then a changing electric field is created at point Y and this repeating process is what creates EM waves, so therefore, it requires no medium. Is my understanding correct?  One thing that I'm surprised to know is that light is also called an electromagnetic wave.  Does this include light of any kind, for example: light from a bulb, a tube, and also from the Sun? How do they contain electric and magnetic fields? C++ equivalent of java's instanceof What is the preferred method to achieve the C++ equivalent of java's instanceof? How can I make environment variables "exported" in a shell script stick around? I have multiple Amazon EC2 accounts and want to quickly be able to switch variables, such as $EC2_HOME, using a script.  I have have a shell script set up like this:  #!/bin/sh export EC2_HOME=/home/me/.ec2 echo $EC2_HOME   When I run the script I know that EC2_HOME is set, but I thought that using export would make the variable stick around after the script completed. It does not, as running echo $EC_HOME does not show anything.  I know this must be very rudimentary Linux scripting knowledge, but I don't know it. I tried looking for related questions without luck - so my apologies if this is a duplicate. Single question thread with multiple questions, some duplicates I've recently run into many questions where to author asks several related questions in one post, many of them asked before.   I'm wondering what out policy is on such questions:   Should I vote-close them as being not constructive? Should I vote-close them as duplicates? Should I leave them be? Or even suggest an answer?    - Each of the questions: Waiting for an AJAX request with selenium, and headless browsing in selenium have been asked here before, but he asked both in one.

I've noticed this issue on a handful of other communities, but making the browser window narrow (mine is 1080x960) makes the .post-layout and #sidebar elements overlap.

The determinant of block triangular matrix as product of determinants of diagonal blocks I am given the following partitioned, upper-triangular matrix:  $$ \begin{bmatrix}   A_1 &amp;*  &amp;*  &amp;*  &amp;*  &amp;*  \\    0&amp; A_2 &amp;*  &amp;*  &amp;*  &amp;*  \\    .&amp;  0&amp; A_3 &amp;*  &amp;*  &amp;*  \\    .&amp;  0&amp;  0 &amp;...  &amp;*  &amp;. \\    .&amp;  0&amp;  0&amp;  0&amp; ... &amp;.  \\    0&amp;  .&amp;  ...&amp;  0&amp;0 &amp; A_m \end{bmatrix} $$  where each of the $A_i$ are block-matrices.
