My mate-weather applet suddenly stopped working. Have tried other locations, none work. Has anyone else encountered this and do you know of a fix?  Seen on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, MATE 1.18 and on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, MATE 1.22.
From yesterday, openweather extention on the top panel does not show the weather. Its shows "Please wait Loading".  I tried to find the solution. There was a post of creating account on openweather website and use API id. I found that it is a subscription base plan. There was a free plan which allows 60 calls free for weather data.  I thought that the extention is open source. And may be I deleted any package that is required to work the extention so I reinstall the OS. But there is no difference of doing that.    What could possibly go wrong any guidance?
In C, are arrays pointers or used as pointers? I have a site with Google Maps on most of the pages. When inspecting content keywords in Google Webmaster tools, content keywords identified by Google-bot for the site include "imagery", "sorry" and "here". These turn out to be part of an error message returned by Google Maps: "Sorry, we have no imagery here". I cannot reproduce this error with normal clients, nor does "fetch as Google" show it. The problem is presumably that Google-bot tries to execute some of the Google Maps Javascript but then shoots itself on the foot and records the error message.  A  shows that this problem is endemic to sites across the internet, including Yelp and many others.  I'd like to convince Google that my site is not about imagery and being sorry, but I'd also like to keep the maps in place. I guess one option would be to transition to , but that's not a great alternative.  There's some , no resolution. Converting a drupal/drupal site to Work With Composer I remember that the main character is trying to find the group that destroyed his home planet while he was on a mission. His planet was very difficult to live on and the people became expert in martial arts and were the best soldiers in the galaxy. They were mercenaries and often helped against tyrants. There was a very memorable section in at least one book about an initiation task that the main character had to do in that he had to survive in their wilderness for days. He was at some point surrounded in a old building by thousands of poisonous worm/snake creatures that he managed to survive until rescued by the leaders. Flag dialogue popup is stacked behind realtime-post-deleted-notification banners There is a little bug that becomes visible when a page contains realtime-post-deleted-notification banners (that's the CSS classname of these red banners appearing on answers which just got deleted, see screenshot below) and you try to open the flag dialogue above them:    Obviously, the dialogue appears below the banners, which it clearly should not do. It also has no input focus, trying to interact with the dialogue fails and either closes it (clicking outside of the red banners) or reloads the page (clicking on the red banners).  The cause for this is simply the z-index ordering in the site's CSS. Relevant CSS snippets:  .realtime-post-deleted-notification {     position: absolute;     text-align: center;     z-index: 100; }  .popup {     display: none;     padding: 15px;     position: absolute;     z-index: 10; }   So the fix for this minor bug would probably be to raise the z-index of the popup class to something greater than 100. Suppressing addition of blank page before figure when wrapping long JPEG image I have the following LaTeX file, whose sole purpose is to wrap a JPEG file. This file does not convert well to PDF, so I'm using this unorthodox technique to convert it.  \documentclass{article} \usepackage[pdftex]{graphicx} \pagenumbering{gobble} \begin{document}  \centering\includegraphics[height=650pt]{foo.jpg} \end{document}   This produces a PDF file including the document, but it first includes a blank page, and thus produces a 2 page document, rather than a 1 page document. How do I get rid of this blank page? Using \textheight instead of 650pt as an argument to \includegraphicsmakes the  problem go away, but I'd prefer the larger size I get from using 650pt.  Here is the relevant information from the log file.  &lt;foo.jpg, id=1, 162.6075pt x 1165.35374pt&gt; File: foo.jpg Graphic file (type jpg)  &lt;use foo.jpg&gt; Package pdftex.def Info: foo.jpg used on input line 14. (pdftex.def)             Requested size: 90.6998pt x 650.0pt.  [1  ] Overfull \vbox (100.0pt too high) has occurred while \output is active []   [2 &lt;./foo.jpg&gt;] (./foo.aux) )    I'd prefer to not make the actual document public. Therefore the code above is not a MWE. However, if anyone has tips on how to create a dummy JPEG of the same size, let me know. Using swap space instead of RAM can drastically slow down a PC.  So why, when I have more than enough RAM available, does my Linux system (Arch) use the swap?  Checkout my conky output below:    Also, could this be the cause of speed and system-responsiveness issues I'm having?  Output of free -m :  $ free -m              total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached Mem:          1257       1004        252          0         51        778 -/+ buffers/cache:        174       1082 Swap:          502        144        357 Double booked - User bookmarking question recorded twice "He acted strange(ly?)" Should you set all the objects to null (Nothing in VB.NET) once you have finished with them?   I understand that in .NET it is essential to dispose of any instances of objects that implement the IDisposable interface to release some resources although the object can still be something after it is disposed (hence the isDisposed property in forms), so I assume it can still reside in memory or at least in part?  I also know that when an object goes out of scope it is then marked for collection ready for the next pass of the garbage collector (although this may take time).  So with this in mind will setting it to null speed up the system releasing the memory as it does not have to work out that it is no longer in scope and are they any bad side effects?  MSDN articles never do this in examples and currently I do this as I cannot  see the harm. However I have come across a mixture of opinions so any comments are useful. How can I disable the "Open File Security Warning" when I want to run downloaded executable files? how to get line spacing greater than one and half spacing and less than double space Does anyone know how to get line spacing in a paragraph to be greater than one and half spacing and less than double spacing? I tried \renewcommand{\baselinestretch}{value} but it did not work. Repeating something with (1/n)th chance of success n times Is there anything that can be said about how many attempts it will take to correctly guess a random number out of 1000 numbers? If the number wouldn't change the probability would just increase every guess, giving in the end a probability of 1.  If the number changes every guess tough, you just have a 1/1000th chance everytime. Can it be calculated how many attempts it would probably take, on average?  (I'm sorry, i'm not very skilled in probability maths) Best way to restrict access by IP address? For an ASP.NET C# application, we will need to restrict access based on IP address. What is the best way to accomplish this? I am trying to fit a SVM to my data. My dataset contains 3 classes and I am performing 10 fold cross validation (in LibSVM):   ./svm-train -g 0.5 -c 10 -e 0.1 -v 10 training_data   The help thereby states:  -c cost : set the parameter C of C-SVC, epsilon-SVR, and nu-SVR (default 1)   For me, providing higher cost (C) values gives me higher accuracy. What does C in SVM actually mean? Why and when should I use higher/lower values (or the LibSVM given default value) of C? How do I counter-knife an enemy? When you press down the right stick to counter the attack, do you just press it, repeatedly press it, or press and hold? I've been knifed a few times from the front and each time I try to counter I fail. Also, if you believe you are about to be knifed and hold down the right stick until you are knifed, will that counter an attack, or do you have to press it down just at the right time? Where should I post my sum-up of the answers, as the OP? Ubuntu n00b here.  I have created several disasters of the first order already.  I am getting ready to try to install opera - it is a very long and arduous process.  I am afraid - no - I am absolutely certain that I will damage something important.  How do I create a system restore point?  Does such a thing exist? Is $K[a,b]=K(a,b)$ for algebraic $a, b$? The score for the 4 questions are 111, 1218, 261 and 5 respectively, but they display 2 digits per line. This is an obvious bug in design.
