Looking for a way to notify users the list of packages to be updated I understand /usr/lib/update-notifier/update-motd-updates-available shows the number of packages that needs to be updated but I am looking for a way that shows me the list of all the packages.
How can I export the "available software to download" to a file? Sometimes Ubuntu will show a popup like this:    (It looks weird because I'm using )  How can I export the list of packages/changes Ubuntu wants to install to a file? This is for debugging purposes - I think something in this update is breaking my system, and I want to be able to be able to figure out exactly where the break is coming from.
Why are local variables not initialized in Java? Was there any reason why the designers of Java felt that local variables should not be given a default value? Seriously, if instance variables can be given a default value, then why can't we do the same for local variables?  And it also leads to problems as explained in :     Well this rule is most frustrating when trying to close a resource in a finally block. If I instantiate the resource inside a try, but try to close it within the finally, I get this error. If I move the instantiation outside the try, I get another error stating that a it must be within a try.      Very frustrating. How do I uninstall xcode 5 command line tools? Verification that $\lim_{x \to a}\frac{f(x)-f(a)}{x-a}$ and $\lim_{h\to 0}\frac{f(a+h) -f(a)}{h}$ are equivalent definitions of the derivative. I wanted to verify that for definition of the derivative it is true that:  $$ \lim_{x \to a}\frac{f(x)-f(a)}{x-a}= \lim_{h\to 0}\frac{f(a+h) -f(a)}{h}$$  If I denote $h=x-a$,  we can  let $x\to a$, this means that $h \to 0$. Also notice that $f(x)=f(a+h)$ $$ \lim_{x \to a}\frac{f(x)-f(a)}{x-a}=\lim_{h \to 0}\frac{f(a+h)-f(a)}{h}$$ As desired. Is the main idea here really just to use a variable substitution? I suppose there is some formal theorem I also use here that when $f(x) \to y$  we can let $g(f(x)) \to g(y)$ if the function $g$ is continuous. Python - Convert string representation of date to ISO 8601 Is it possible to sync files via rsync and let rsync only compare mtime informations?  Or is there another tool for this job?  That means that such a tool only copies src to destination if the src is newer than the destination. Comparable to GNU cp --update - but also over ssh ... I have made some changes to a file which has been committed a few times as part of a group of files, but now want to reset/revert the changes on it back to a previous version.   I have done a git log along with a git diff to find the revision I need, but just have no idea how to get the file back to its former state in the past. Prove that $\nabla_{\mathrm X} \mbox{tr} (\mathrm A \mathrm X^{-1} \mathrm B) = - \mathrm X^{-\top} \mathrm A^\top \mathrm B^\top \mathrm X^{-\top}$ Prove that $$\nabla_{\mathrm X} \mbox{tr} (\mathrm A \mathrm X^{-1} \mathrm B) = - \mathrm X^{-\top} \mathrm A^\top \mathrm B^\top \mathrm X^{-\top}$$   My proof is below. I am interested in other proofs.    My proof  Let   $$f (\mathrm X) := \mbox{tr} (\mathrm A \mathrm X^{-1} \mathrm B)$$  Hence,  $$\begin{array}{rl} f (\mathrm X + h \mathrm V) &amp;= \mbox{tr} (\mathrm A (\mathrm X + h \mathrm V)^{-1} \mathrm B)\\ &amp;= \mbox{tr} (\mathrm A (\mathrm X ( \mathrm I + h \mathrm X^{-1} \mathrm V))^{-1} \mathrm B)\\ &amp;= \mbox{tr} (\mathrm A ( \mathrm I + h \mathrm X^{-1} \mathrm V)^{-1} \mathrm X^{-1} \mathrm B)\\ &amp;= \mbox{tr} (\mathrm A ( \mathrm I - h \mathrm X^{-1} \mathrm V + O (h^2)) \mathrm X^{-1} \mathrm B)\\ &amp;= \mbox{tr} (\mathrm A \mathrm X^{-1} \mathrm B) - h \, \mbox{tr} ( \mathrm A \mathrm X^{-1} \mathrm V \mathrm X^{-1} \mathrm B) + O (h^2)\\ &amp;= f (\mathrm X) - h \, \mbox{tr} ( \mathrm X^{-1} \mathrm B \mathrm A \mathrm X^{-1} \mathrm V ) + O (h^2)\end{array}$$  Thus, the directional derivative of $f$ in the direction of $\mathrm V$ at $\mathrm X$ is  $$D_{\mathrm V} f (\mathrm X) = - \mbox{tr} ( \mathrm X^{-1} \mathrm B \mathrm A \mathrm X^{-1} \mathrm V ) = - \mbox{tr} ( (\mathrm X^{-\top} \mathrm A^\top \mathrm B^\top \mathrm X^{-\top})^\top \mathrm V ) = - \langle \mathrm X^{-\top} \mathrm A^\top \mathrm B^\top \mathrm X^{-\top}, \mathrm V \rangle$$  and, lastly,  $$\nabla_{\mathrm X} \mbox{tr} (\mathrm A \mathrm X^{-1} \mathrm B) = - \mathrm X^{-\top} \mathrm A^\top \mathrm B^\top \mathrm X^{-\top}$$ The result of a Google search for &quot;error&quot; and &quot;PREP line&quot; is:  &quot;error&quot; &quot;on line&quot;: 439,000,000 results &quot;error&quot; &quot;in line&quot;: 60.600.000 results &quot;error&quot; &quot;at line&quot;: 35,800,000 results  While on is the indisputable number one, in and at have also very many hits. In the following context, which one should I use.  __ the first line you create an instance of XXX and XXX leads to the runtime error __ the last line.  I think, both prepositions are different. Although the word create refers to the action which is executed while runtime, the former part refers to the actual code that is written. In contrast, the latter part is figurative. I don't refer to the written code. The error does not really occur in the code but the code is the representation of the assembly which fails. Thus, I have two bests guess:  On the first line you create an instance of XXX and XXX leads to the runtime error at the last line. In the first line you create an instance of XXX and XXX leads to the runtime error on the last line. Modal vs Non-Modal vs Auxiliary modal vs Conjugated Verb Modal vs Non-Modal vs Auxiliary modal vs Conjugated Verb   How are these kinds of verb related to each other? Specially Non-Modals and Conjugated Verb. Is the "Auxiliary modal" just another name for "Auxiliary verb"? Specifically, if diary Tom Riddle had succeeded, how would he have strengthened the present day Voldemort?   In , @Pearsonartphoto gives a quote from J.K. Rowling in his answer regarding what would have happened if Tom Riddle had succeeded in fully manifesting from his diary memory form to a full human form.     Q: In Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, what would have happened if Ginny had died and Tom Riddle had escaped the diary?   J.K. Rowling: I can’t answer that fully until all seven books are finished, but it would have strengthened the present-day Voldemort considerably.    - FAQ - Wayback Machine   As well, I've read all seven Harry Potter books many, many times and I haven't been able to ferret out any overt details regarding exactly how the present day Voldemort would've been strengthened by co-existing with diary Tom Riddle.  Specifically, how would the reincarnation of 16-year-old Tom Riddle have strengthened the 67-year-old present-day Voldemort at the time of Chamber of Secrets?  &#9733; I would love an answer from canon, any of J.K. Rowling's interviews, or Pottermore, or an answer constructed within the spirit of canon. Some lands have an ability to become a creature, but they usually say they are still a land. If a land is a 3/3 creature and a land, can you target and kill it with a  to send it to the graveyard, or does it remain in play as a land? $(x^3+xy^2-y)dx+(y^3+x^2y+x)dy=0$ I tried to find on Wolfram Alpha but it showed only the solution not in step-by-step, I know that the factor is $\frac{1}{x^2+y^2}$ but how to find it? How to find and compare flights carried out by a specific type of plane? How can I boot with an older kernel version? The latest kernel is causing problems with my sound, which worked fine with an older version. As I have only Ubuntu installed, Grub is not getting displayed while booting. How can I manually choose my kernel version while booting? Preservation of ideals in localized rings Refer to localization of rings in Lang's Algebra p. 108. In particular, let $A$ be a commutative ring, $S$ a subset of $A$ that is a submonoid of the multiplicative monoid structure of $A$, containing the identity. Then  $S^{-1}A$ is the set of elements $\frac{a}{s}$ with $a \in A$ and $s \in S$.  We have $\frac{a_1}{s_1}=\frac{a_2}{s_2}$ if there exists $\bar{s} \in S$ such that $\bar{s}(s_2a_1 - s_1 a_2)=0$. Now consider the injection of $A$ into $S^{-1}A$ given by $x \mapsto \frac{x}{1}$. This is a ring homomorphism. Let $J$ be an ideal of $A$. Ring homomorphisms preserve ideals and so the injection of $J$ into $S^{-1}A$, call it $J^{*}$, will be an ideal. My problem is that i don't see why for any $\frac{a}{s} \in S^{-1}A$ and any $\frac{j}{1} \in J^{*}$ we will have that $\frac{aj}{s}$ will be in $J^{*}$, i.e. why there must exist an element $\kappa \in J$ such that $\frac{aj}{s}=\frac{\kappa}{1}$. "invalid use of incomplete type" error with partial template specialization I'm reading An Introduction to Manifolds (Tu) and got confused on p.123 Theorem 11.13. Let me briefly explain what was done before that.  The author defines an embedding between two manifolds $f: N\rightarrow M$ as an injective immersion (differential is injective everywhere) with the additional property that $f(N)$ as a subspace of $M$ is homeomorphic via $f$ to $N$. Then a canonical form theorem is proven, namely, that for any point $p \in N$, there are charts $(U,\phi = x^1, \ldots, x^n) \ni p$ and $(V,\psi = y^1, \ldots, y^m) \ni f(p)$, such that the transition map takes the following form:  $$\psi \circ f \circ \phi^{-1} : (r^1,\ldots,r^n) \mapsto (r^1,\ldots,r^n,0,\ldots,0).$$  (I guess it is implicitly assumed that $f(U) \subset V$).  Now in the process of proving that $f(N) \subset M$ is an , he states that $f(U) \subset V$ is defined by the vanishing of the coordinates $y^{n+1},\ldots,y^m$. I can prove that $$ f(U) \subset \{q \in V: y^{n+1}(q) = \cdots = y^m(q)\} $$ but not the reverse inclusion. Can anyone explain why this should be true? What EXACTLY happens when I ask to delete my account? I have meticulously read through similar questions, answers and their comments but I still do not understand how the deletion is done. From what I understand I email the customer service and then they do what exactly?     1) They disable my account so that I can no longer use it?      2) They reassign all of my questions and answers to some other   account? To which one?      3) They delete all my questions and answers so that they go away from   public view?   What is the flexibility (if it exists) of the deletion procedure? Is it possible to erase the traces of my former association with the site. Can I request any of the following be done?     4) All of my questions and answers be deleted from public view?      5) Some of my questions and answers be deleted? If yes what criteria?      6) Can I have all of my contributions be assigned to some other   account which runs as sort of a "collective account" and already has   tons of content so that it doesn't happen like my contributions just   move to some other url but still stay grouped under that location and   therefore that location can be discovered as representing my account?      7) Can I have my contributions dispersed through several "collective   accounts?      8) Can my current public name be removed from any comments to my posts   so that my posts cannot be identified later as once belonging to me?   Please be polite with me. I wouldn't have asked if I have found the answer in the other questions. The other questions are also old and it is not clear what the situation is as per 05/2012.  UPDATE (for those interested):  I asked the Stackoverflow team about the procedure. Apparently none of the points 2-8 I asked above are possible, only 1 will take place. The link to my user page from my contributions is going to be removed and replaced with non-clickable text of an anonymized user name like "user1234". Whether this number is the same as my current user_id is not clear. That's all the information I got.  I'm going now to rename myself to "Anonymous" then request the account deletion. Those interested in the procedure will witness the exact result on this page.  Farewell. I have an object at a fixed position in 3D space. I would like the camera to circle around it while facing it. I want to path of the camera to be circular in 2D, meaning that it does not move up or down.  I need this to be pretty accurate. I don't want to manually set a keyframe every frame for position and rotation. I would like to do this maybe with an expression, not with manual keyframing. I am not sure how to go about this but I think it is going to involve Python as well as some trigonometry. Shell Script - how to scp into remote server and download files and protect password
