As you can see, the off-topic page isn&#39;t quite right...    Could this (minor) issue be fixed?
I'm told by smart people that $$0.999999999\ldots=1$$ and I believe them, but is there a proof that explains why this is? Difference between $\Delta$, $d$ and $\delta$ Can I choose to use only Shapiro-Wilk? What's the parameters atribute in apex:canvasApp used for? I'm experimenting with the  feature, and embedding it in a Visualforce page, from where I hoped I would have some control over the canvas.  Now, the apex:canvasApp has a property called  and it's description says that they're parameters passed to the canvas app.    When I don't use the parameters attribute the canvas page draws normally, and using firebug I can see the call to the ip address of the canvas app. But for it to be useful to me I need to pass some parameters to the canvas page and when I do use the parameters attribute the canvas simply does not show, and in firebug it does not show any call to the ip of the canvas.  How are these parameters passed or how can one catch them? Using firebug, in the call to the ip of the canvas app, I can't see any of the parameters that I'm trying to pass.  Here's the simple code I'm experimenting with:  &lt;apex:page &gt; &lt;apex:canvasApp applicationName="Test Canvas" height="400px" width="750px" parameters="{vst_cli: '1293'}" /&gt; &lt;/apex:page&gt;   Inside the parameters attribute I've tried some different things: "{vst_cli: '1293'}" "{vst_cli: 1293}" "{'vst_cli': '1293'}" All of which had the same effect.  Any help or pointers will be welcome.  Thanks in advance. modulo version of the quadratic formula and Euler's criterion Use the modulo version of the quadratic formula and Euler's criterion to decide if the following has a solution or not.  $2x^2+5x+8 \equiv 0\pmod{37}$  I'm not sure how I would use what was being asked of me to decide if this has a solution or not, but I have came to the conclusion that it does not, because I plugged in every possible answer $0-36$, and none of them were congruent to zero.  The way people have answered the question, isn't exactly the way I need.  I have made some progress, but I'm not exactly sure how to finish:  $2x^2+5x+8 \equiv 0\pmod{37}$  $x^2+21x+4\equiv0\pmod{37}$  $x^2+58x+841\equiv837\pmod{37}$  $(x+29)^2\equiv23\pmod{37}$  I know that if $p$ is an odd prime and $p$ doesn't divide $a$, then $x^2\equiv a\pmod{p}$ has a solution or no solution depending on whether $a^\frac{p-1}{2}\equiv 1  \space\space \text{or}\space -1\pmod{p}$.  This is where I get stuck.  Can someone help me from here?  I have a feeling this problem has no solutions, so could someone also explain to me what to do if a problem like this did have solutions. I'm a student and I'm working on a low power communication project. I am trying to design a PCB using the . There is a MC-306 (32.768kHz, 12.5pf, and 20/50ppm).   I don't know what the 20/50ppm rating is. For me, the size is very important, so I decided to replace it with the , but its ppm is -20/+20. Will it cause a problem if I use this one instead?  What is the ppm rating in the crystal oscillator? What did Enel do after being defeated? As shown in the Manga and the Anime, Enel survived along with the Ark.  He then Embarks to Fairy Verth      The Moon.   In the Manga it shows his adventures on the Moon.  But what happened?  I didn't understand the situation that happened.  What exactly happened on the Moon? When the automorphism group is trivial...... If $G$ is a trivial group , obviously $Aut(G)$  is  trivial . Does the converse  hold $?$ .  When  we  are  given  that a  group $G$  has  trivial  automorphism  group , can we  conclude  that the group  will  be  trivial $?$ .  I  guess  not . For  one  thing , we know  that  $$G/Z(G)\cong Inn(G)$$. So , $Aut(G)$ being  trivial  would  imply  that $$G\cong Z(G)$$  i.e.  $G$  is  commutative . But I  see  nothing about $G'$s being trivial .   The problem  is  that  while I cannot  prove  it , I  could  not  find  a  counter example  either , from  among  the  groups  I  am  familiar  with .   What  is  the non-trivial  commutative  group  that  has  trivial  automorphism  group  $?$ We know that you can't transfigure food, so you have to grow it or buy it. Ditto money.  I'm sure that aside from some medicinal plants Herbology Professor had there were no farmlands at Hogwarts. So they must have bought food (as well as potions ingredients for Snape etc...). And they needed to pay the teacher salaries.  Where did all that money come from according to canon?  Ministry funding?  Tuition?  Patent money on Dumbledore's inventions?  Philanthropic donations by Malfoys and co?  Other? Phone Call On TextView Click Why are pointers such a leading factor of confusion for many new, and even old, college level students in C or C++?  Are there any tools or thought processes that helped you understand how pointers work at the variable, function, and beyond level?  What are some good practice things that can be done to bring somebody to the level of, "Ah-hah, I got it," without getting them bogged down in the overall concept? Basically, drill like scenarios. Is (rest) mass quantized? I learned today in class that photons and light are quantized.  I also remember that electric charge is quantized as well.  I was thinking about these implications, and I was wondering if (rest) mass was similarly quantized.  That is, if we describe certain finite irreducible masses $x$, $y$, $z$, etc., then all masses are integer multiples of these irreducible masses.  Or do masses exist along a continuum, as charge and light were thought to exist on before the discovery of photons and electrons?  (I'm only referring to invariant/rest mass.) What is a NullPointerException, and how do I fix it? What are Null Pointer Exceptions (java.lang.NullPointerException) and what causes them?  What methods/tools can be used to determine the cause so that you stop the exception from causing the program to terminate prematurely? Midpoint-Convex and Continuous Implies Convex Text deselecting when using Logitech mouse scroll wheel in Sierra How do I escape the wildcard/asterisk character in bash? For example:  me$ FOO="BAR * BAR" me$ echo $FOO BAR file1 file2 file3 file4 BAR   and using the \ escape character:  me$ FOO="BAR \* BAR" me$ echo $FOO BAR \* BAR   I'm obviously doing something stupid.  How do I get the output BAR * BAR? There is a very bad problem with the "Blank screen" function in Ubuntu 17.10. I refer to the setting accessed via Settings->Power->Blank Screen. This seems to actually perform a screen lock, since I need to enter my password after un-blanking the screen. (However, given the behavior described below it's not clear exactly what this function actually does - maybe it just logs you out? maybe it reboots the machine?)  The problem is that a simple screen lock, which one would expect to lock the screen without affecting the state of any applications, in fact closes all applications that are open when the screen lock activates. In other words, if you have the screen lock set to 5 minutes, and you walk away from your machine to get a sandwich or whatever, when you come back and unlock the machine all your apps have closed without saving their state. So far, the only work-around I have found is to entirely disable screen locking in Ubuntu 17.10. My question is, how can this be fixed so that screen locking works properly - that is: the screen locks on schedule after a period of inactivity, and when unlocked all applications that were running are still running?  I am asking a new question for the following reasons:  1) The existing answers to (and comments on)  do not address the issue, and in fact misrepresent the actual problem in ways that make me think the comment writers have not understood what is happening;  2) I cannot usefully address that question because I do not have sufficient reputation to either upvote the question or comment on it, and I cannot answer the question because I have no idea why this problem occurs;  3) I will probably never achieve a reputation of 15, much less 50, on StackExchange. Which is fine, that's not among my life goals.  4) But this question is important and deserves to be addressed. It is a drastically unacceptable bug. Etymology of Tor and Ext Functors The names of the derived functors $\operatorname{Tor}$ and $\operatorname{Ext}$ seem quite cryptic to me. Does anyone know what these abbreviations stand for? I would be glad if someone could tell me where these names come from.

Those attempting to install Ubuntu, please refer to the section titled: If you are unable to enter a TTY or are trying to install Ubuntu. The question is (from Topology without tears) that: Let $(X,d)$ be a metric space and $\tau$ the corresponding topology on $X$. Fix $a \in X$. Prove that the map $f:(X,\tau) \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ defined by $f(x) = d(a,x)$ is continuous.  My first attempt was that let an open ball, $B_{\epsilon}(a)\subset \mathbb{R}$ and show that $f^{-1}(B_{\epsilon}(a)) \subset \tau$. Since $f(x) = d(a,x)$, $f^{-1}(B_{\epsilon}(a))=B_{\epsilon}(a) \in \tau$.   I am pretty sure the last sentence is wrong. I am not sure if every open ball is an open set in topology induced by metric space.  Please give me some hint and direction. Thanks
