In some cases, I have edited the title and tags of some questions and then answered.  A while ago, I revisited some of those questions and it felt awkward to see that I posted an answer and also edited the question (because a user can theoretically re-write a question completely), so I stopped editing questions that I'd answer.  Recently, I have found unanswered questions that I can answer, and sometimes those questions have incorrect tags, tags in titles and other details that I could fix as well.  Instead of struggling with myself to choose if I should or shouldn't do this I ask here.  Is it OK to edit a question you're posting an answer to? If it is, is there anything I should bear in mind to prevent any possible misunderstanding?
I have a question about editing practices:  Does it look good to edit a question you have just answered?  For example: say I had just answered a question, then saw that the question had some minor formatting issues. Should I edit it? Does it turn up voters off when they see that I am answering a question I changed, possibly to better suit my answer?
Today while troubleshooting a service broker problem, I discovered that the database owner was the Windows login of an employee who had left the company. His login had been removed and thus the query notifications were failing.   Supposedly the best practice for dealing with this is to make 'sa' the database owner. We changed it and that cleared out the queue.   My (very elementary) question: what is the database owner and what is its purpose? What exactly goes into a transformer's VA rating? At a fundamental level it seems that there has to be a limit to what the VA rating can represent.  For example if I draw 2 Amps-RMS from the secondary of a 30VA rated transformer at 15 Vrms this makes sense as the maximum Complex Power I can draw. Still, at a power factor of 1 my maximum current in the transformer would be sqrt(2) * 2 Amps.   But what if my power factor is abysmally low (ie in a DC rectifier) due to harmonic distortion and while I still draw 2A-RMS I have brief current spikes of 15 Amps? Surely the transformer's magnetics couldn't handle these spikes as I'd expect the core would saturate.  My question is what is the practical limit for VA ratings of transformers? Would brief current spikes that reduce to only 2A-RMS in this case be fine? Obviously the secondary/primary copper losses play a part in the rating but how do the magnetics factor in?  I ask this because I am designing a simple bench power supply using a 125VA transformer with a 24Vrms secondary and am trying to figure out how much power I can draw before the current spikes into the inductor are too much for the transformer. I also don't want to have to resort to active PFC as I don't want to risk messing up any HVAC PCB design.  Thank you Unity smooth local rotation around one Axis, oriented toward a target I have some auto-generated T-SQL, which is probably valid, but I don't really understand.  ALTER TABLE [dbo].[MyTable] WITH CHECK CHECK CONSTRAINT [My_FORIEGN_KEY];   I know what a foreign key constraint is, but what's the CHECK CHECK? How can I keep multiple live/bootable ISO images on a single USB drive? I am looking to create a USB flash drive that I can put multiple  ISO images on and select which boots from startup. The ideal candidate supports Linux and Windows-based ISO images, and is relatively simple. It also must have some reasonable process for adding and removing an ISO image from the drive/list.    Things that I'm not looking for in this specific question:    or other swiss-army knife live CDs. The point is to boot any one of multiple CDs, not to boot a (certainly useful) utility CD. Installing a single live CD to a USB drive. I'd like to have multiple ISO images, selectable at startup.   I don't have a specific purpose in mind, possibilties include a single drive with a  variant, Ubuntu desktop, UBCD4Win for DOS, the Offline NT Password Cracker, etc.  Flexible and easy to use are the name of the game! One of my friends argues that princessship is the only word which has 3 identical letter comes together (s) ,but I think there is no word such as princessship.  Can anyone tell me whether this is a real word, and if there are any more English words which have 3 letters consecutively? example:   Does Chocolatey run the native program installer?

Splitting of primes in the compositum of fields If $L_i/K$ are Galois extensions of number fields, $i=1,\ldots,n$, and $L=L_1\cdots L_n$ is the compositum. Then it's true that a prime $\mathfrak{p}$ of $K$ splits in $L$ if and only if it splits in all of $L_i$. Does this also hold if the $L_i$ are not Galois extensions of $K$?  The proof that I know regarding the compositum uses the fact that the $L_i/K$ are Galois, so is this true in the more general setting and how would one prove it? Updating .class file in jar $A,B,C$ are three $n\times n$ matrices such that $A$ has $n$ distinct eigenvalues, $AB=BA$, and $AC=CA$.   We need to show $BC=CB$.  Let $A$ be diagonalizable with eigenvectors say, $v_1,\dots,v_n$, so there exists $P$ such that $PAP^{-1}=D$. What more I can say from the information? Please help. What is the recommended way to empty a SSD? I've just received my new SSD since the old one died. This Intel 320 SSD supports TRIM. For testing purposes, my dealer put Windows on it, but I want to get rid of this and install Kubuntu on it.  It does not have to be a "secure wipe", I just need the empty the disk in the most healthy way. I believe that dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda just fills the blocks with zeroes and thereby taking another write (correct me if I'm wrong).  I've seen the answer , but it looks like it's suited for clearing empty blocks, not wiping the disk.  hdparm seems to be the program to do it, but I'm not sure if it clears the disk OR cleans empty blocks. From its manual page:     --trim-sector-ranges           For  Solid State Drives (SSDs).  EXCEPTIONALLY DANGEROUS. DO NOT           USE THIS OPTION!!  Tells the drive firmware to discard  unneeded           data  sectors,  destroying  any  data that may have been present           within them.  This makes those sectors available  for  immediate           use  by  the firmware's garbage collection mechanism, to improve           scheduling for wear-leveling of the flash  media.   This  option           expects  one  or  more  sector range pairs immediately after the           option: an LBA starting address, a colon, and  a  sector  count,           with no intervening spaces.  EXCEPTIONALLY DANGEROUS. DO NOT USE           THIS OPTION!!              E.g.  hdparm --trim-sector-ranges 1000:4 7894:16 /dev/sdz   How can I make all blocks appear as empty using TRIM? Prove continuous functions $f$ and $g$ are equal What is "summoning sickness" and how does it affect my creatures? Note: this is intended to be a canonical question about summoning sickness.  "Summoning sickness", broadly, is the rule that stops you from attacking or paying {T} costs with a creature that you just played. But how exactly does it work? How does it interact with other rules and effects?  For example, if I'm trying to figure out how a creature is affected:   Does the status matter (tapped/untapped, face down/face up, etc.)? What if it came into play, but I didn't cast it? What if it's a token? What if it was on the battlefield when my turn started, but it wasn't a creature? What if it stops being a creature? What if it's a creature and also another card type? What if it's a double-faced card that just transformed? What if it changes control? What if it's a copy of another creature? Which of the creature's activated abilities can I use? Are any of its other abilities affected? Can I tap the creature to pay a cost that is not a {T} cost?   (These examples are primarily taken from questions about summoning sickness that have already been asked on the site) How to compare two Pearson correlation coefficients Since a few days I do not get ahead when trying to compare two Pearson correlation coefficients. Imagine that I've got two datasets where on each I do a correlation between Land Surface Temperature and an urban metric. The datasets are different in their length, so the first one has round about 160.000 observables and the second one has about 2400 observables. For the correlation on the first dataset I get a Pearson of -0.74 and for the second I get -0.885. Now I want to find out whether these coefficients are significantly different from each other. Is there any appropriate method you could suggest?  I already played around with the Fisher-Z-Transformation, but from my point of view with no purposeful results. When I calculate the Fisher-Z on my coefficients, it results in 20.95 (Fisher-Z).  I would be very happy about suitable advices.

GLR Test for 2 samples from exponential distributions What is "anycast" and how is it helpful? I'd never heard of anycast until a few seconds ago when I read "".  The wikipedia "" article on it is quite formal and doesn't really evoke a mental picture of how it would be used.  Can someone explain in a few informal sentences what "anycast" is, how you configure it (just in a general sense), and what its benefits are (what does it make easier)?
