System requirements for Ubuntu Desktop Edition   2 GHz dual core processor. 2 GiB RAM (system memory) 25 GB of hard-drive space (or USB stick, memory card or external drive but see LiveCD for an alternative approach) VGA capable of 1024x768 screen resolution. . . . ..    My Laptop config:   processor: 1.9GHz RAM: 4GB System Type: 64bit   Now the question is can I use Ubuntu on my laptop with this configuration?  Another question: which version of Ubuntu should I use? Ubuntu Deskop? or Ubuntu Core? If yes then which version?  (Currently I am using win10 pro. I am a web developer)
For a given hardware configuration, how do I find out if Ubuntu will run on it? What considerations should I take into account when choosing an Ubuntu version and  such as:    with a lighter desktop than the usual Gnome and Unity  with the even lighter LXDE desktop   Obviously Ubuntu does not run on some processor architectures. So how do I go about choosing the right version and derivate. How can I find out the minmal system requirements?
After importing KML to Google Maps, point is showing in Antartica I know that I can update a snap package using  sudo snap refresh &lt;package&gt;   But is there a way to update all snaps, like   sudo apt dist-upgrade I would like to search an entire MS SQL 2000 database for one value. This would be to aid development only. Keep that in mind when considering this question.   This will get all the table names and the column of the data type I'm looking for:  SELECT Columns.COLUMN_NAME, tables.TABLE_NAME FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.Columns as Columns  JOIN INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES as tables  On Columns.TABLE_NAME = tables.TABLE_NAME WHERE Columns.DATA_TYPE = 'INT'     I was thinking something like this:  -- Vars DECLARE @COUNTER INT DECLARE @TOTAL INT DECLARE @TABLE CHAR(128) DECLARE @COLUMN CHAR(128) DECLARE @COLUMNTYPE CHAR(128) DECLARE @COLUMNVALUE INT  -- What we are looking for SET @COLUMNTYPE = 'INT' SET @COLUMNVALUE = 3 SET @COUNTER = 0  -- Find out how many possible columns exist SELECT @TOTAL = COUNT(*)   FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.Columns as Columns  JOIN INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES as tables  On Columns.TABLE_NAME = tables.TABLE_NAME WHERE Columns.DATA_TYPE = @COLUMNTYPE PRINT CAST(@TOTAL AS CHAR) + 'possible columns' WHILE @COUNTER &lt; @TOTAL BEGIN     SET @COUNTER = @COUNTER +1     -- ADD MAGIC HERE END   Any ideas?  UPDATE I recently found this  that works quite well. What is "angle of view" in photography? I have a small Problem that occurs from time to time.   Sometimes, when I copy things or when I put an object from the symbol library on my page, the whole file gets messed up. The screenshot shows it. I make the graphic on the right, Illustrator the ones on the left.   I have pixel snapping checked. Is there a way to tell Illustrator to align everything to pixels no matter what? Finding minimum-area-rectangle for given points? Suppose $f(x)$ is linear i.e. $f(x + y) = f(x) +f(y) $ and monotone on $[-\infty, +\infty]$, then $f(x) = ax$, a real.  We know $f(0)=0$, and if one assumes differentiability it is quite easy.      But how does monotone make up for differentiability? How to get text under mouse in any open window How can I get the amount of available memory portably across distributions? The standard files/tools that report memory seem to have different formats on different Linux distributions. For example, on Arch and Ubuntu.   Arch  $ free               total        used        free      shared  buff/cache   available Mem:        8169312     3870392     2648348       97884     1650572     4110336 Swap:      16777212      389588    16387624   $ head /proc/meminfo  MemTotal:        8169312 kB MemFree:         2625668 kB MemAvailable:    4088520 kB Buffers:          239688 kB Cached:          1224520 kB SwapCached:        17452 kB Active:          4074548 kB Inactive:        1035716 kB Active(anon):    3247948 kB Inactive(anon):   497684 kB  Ubuntu  $ free              total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached Mem:      80642828   69076080   11566748    3063796     150688   58358264 -/+ buffers/cache:   10567128   70075700 Swap:     20971516    5828472   15143044   $ head /proc/meminfo  MemTotal:       80642828 kB MemFree:        11565936 kB Buffers:          150688 kB Cached:         58358264 kB SwapCached:      2173912 kB Active:         27305364 kB Inactive:       40004480 kB Active(anon):    7584320 kB Inactive(anon):  4280400 kB Active(file):   19721044 kB    So, how can I portably (across Linux distros only) and reliably get the amount of memory—excluding swap—that is available for my software to use at a particular time? Presumably that's what's shown as "available" and "MemAvailable" in the output of free and cat /proc/meminfo in Arch but how do I get the same in Ubuntu or another distribution? When I watch the news I've noticed that the Gallup polls for things like presidential elections have [I assume random] sample sizes of well over 1,000.  From what I remember from college statistics was that a sample size of 30 was a "significantly large" sample.  It was made to seem that a sample size over 30 is pointless due to diminishing returns. Contradicting Fubini's theorem I have a function defined as follows: $f(x,y)= \dfrac{x^2-y^2}{\left(x^2+y^2\right)^2}$, if $(x,y)\neq (0, 0)$ and $f(x,y)=0$ if $(x,y)=(0,0)$.  Now, $$\int_0^1\int_0^1 f(x,y)\,\text{d}x~\text{d}y=-\frac{\pi}{4}$$ and $$\int_0^1\int_0^1 f(x,y)\,\text{d}y~\text{d}x=\frac{\pi}{4}.$$   The question I have is this: why does this not contradict Fubini's theorem?    thanks. Testing stored procedure scalability I have an email application that will be called upon to deliver to the UI the number of new messages for a given user on each page load. I have a few variations of things I am testing on the DB level but all are abstracted by the stored proc call.  I'm trying to slam the DB to see what the breaking point (# of requests per second) would be.   In a nutshell, I have a table such as this userId, newMsgCount with a clustered index on userId. SQL should be able to server hundreds or thousands of these responses per second. I think the laggard is my .NET app.  How can I make this a good test to achieve the test results based on SQL performance?  Is there a tool for this that i can give it a stored proc name and param for it to pund my  DB?  I want to see if the DB can return a min. of 250 responses per second. If $a,b,c$ are positive integers,and $\cfrac{a}{b}+\cfrac{b}{c}+\cfrac{c}{a}$ and $\cfrac{b}{a}+\cfrac{c}{b}+\cfrac{a}{c}$ are integers then $a=b=c$ Are Living Beings Turned Into Horcruxes Suceptible to Age, Disease, or Injury? From the HP books I know that Horcruxes grant a form of immortality. So, it is not possible for someone who created a Horcrux to die from old age or succumb to diseases. I guess the same is true for living beings turned into a Horcrux. But do living Horcruxes age normally? Is it possible to cripple them or sever their limbs, head or something like that, or do they instantly "repair" themselves like inanimate Horcruxes? On Mac, are there keyboard shortcuts to create a new Space? Or at least any way to automate this process with keyboard shortcuts? I want to not have to use the mouse to create Spaces. I want to use the keyboard for that. Density of states for arbitrary dispersion relation If I have a 3D dispersion relation   $E=E(k_x, k_y, k_z)$ I have an equation for the density of states, which is   $D(E)=\frac{1}{\nabla_k E}\int\frac{dS}{(2\pi)^3}$  1) I am confused about the integral. What am I integrating over, exactly? It must have units of the $k$ vector, so it's a k-space integral, but what is the surface that is relevant?  3) Where does that equation come from, how is it derived? $\lim_{n\to \infty}f(nx)=0$ implies $\lim_{x\to \infty}f(x)=0$ Can anyone help me with this problem?     Let $f:[0,\infty)\longrightarrow \mathbb R$ be a continuous function such that for each $x&gt;0$, we have $\lim_{n\to \infty}f(nx)=0$. Then prove that $\lim_{x\to \infty}f(x)=0$.   Our teacher told first to prove Baire's theorem, and then show that this is a consequence of that theorem. I proved Baire's theorem, and I spend a few hours thinking on how Baire's theorem is related to this problem, but I couldn't find anything. I'd really appreciate your help. So I've started playing Gathering Storm, built a bunch of coal plants and now Global Warming is out of control mainly because of me. I've been trying to remove these power plants, but I haven't found any option to sell/destroy or even replace these buildings.  Is there seriously no way to do this? I'm working with  that has X Y coordinates. They are akin to '3672187.92698000, 534175.72095400'.  I would like to convert them to longitude latitude so they are more like '-90.097017, 29.963176'.  I've seen this  however I don't have that software. I was able to download and install  but I am unfortunately perplexed by its complicated interface. Would like to do the conversion with it, if possible. How to call a constructor on an already allocated memory? How can I call a constructor on a memory region that is already allocated?
