Why was question flag declined when requested action was taken? I found a few other related questions, but they were in regards to flags for different reasons such as closing the question.  I flagged a  to say that all comments were obsolete. I would have flagged the comments individually, but there were several and one of them was one I had upvoted. I wasn't able to flag that one. Though, I have since found a  for flagging upvoted comments.  The flag was declined but all comments are gone. I suppose it's possible that the two authors deleted their own comments, but I don't think that is likely.  So why was it declined? I'm wondering if this was an accident or if I was wrong to flag the question. If the latter, please explain why.
Why does flag marking as helpful/declined not always correlate with moderator action? I flagged a post and (choose one)   my flag was marked as helpful, yet nothing was done my flag was marked as declined, yet the post was deleted/edited/closed   Why?

I'm having trouble getting clang++ to work as I compile my code. Specifically, I'm getting a make: clang++: Command not found error.  I've run sudo apt-get install llvm, and also sudo apt-get install build-essential and sudo apt-get update. What do I have to do to get clang++ installed? Prove $n-m \mid n^r - m^r\,$ [Factor Theorem, monomial case] In respect to a larger proof I need to prove that $(n-m) \mid (n^r - m^r) $ (where $\mid$ means divides, i.e., $a \mid b$ means that $b$ modulus $a$ = $0$). I have played around with this for a while now but to no avail and would be grateful if you could help me. Tikz and ctable incompatibility, gives error when printing When I print a report I get an error:     An error exists on this page. Acrobat may not display the page   correctly. Please contact the person who created the PDF document to correct the problem   After a lot of debugging, I've found that this MWE reproduces the problem. I've tried it on three different computers with the same error.   \documentclass{standalone}           \usepackage{tikz} \usepackage{ctable} \begin{document} \begin{tikzpicture} \filldraw[opacity=.5] (0,0) rectangle (1,1); \end{tikzpicture} \end{document}   When loading the ctable package, the image is changed (the opacity disappears), so it seems the error comes from some incompatibility between ctable and opacity in tikz. The error only appears when trying to print though, acrobat before attempting to print. (Printing either to a pdf file or to a real printer)  I have the following versions of tikz and ctable:      tikz.sty    2013/12/13 v3.0.0   ctable.sty    2014/04/25 v1.29   How can I fix this?    EDIT: I found the warning Transparency disabled: incompatible with tikz package from ctable so I guess this incompatibility can explain the error in the first MWE.  However, I continued digging and found that the spy library seem to be incompatible with ctable as well.   Here's an MWE that generates the same error when printing (either to a pdf file or to a real printer):   \documentclass{standalone}           \usepackage{tikz} \usetikzlibrary{spy} \usepackage{ctable} \begin{document} \begin{tikzpicture}[spy using outlines={size=2cm,connect spies}] \begin{scope} \spy on (-3,.25) in node at (2,0); \end{scope} \end{tikzpicture} \end{document}   There seem to be a serious problem with using tikz + ctable, can it be fixed? There's already a question like this  so that my question could be considered duplicate, but I'll try to make my point clear that this is a different question.   Is there a way to derive  from the Lorentz' Force law or just from Maxwell's Equations?   The point is that we usually define, based on experiments, that the force felt by a moving charge on the presence of a magnetic field is $\mathbf {F} = q\mathbf{v}\times \mathbf{B}$, but in that case the magnetic field is usually left to be defined later.   Now can that force law be used in some way to obtain Biot-Savart law like we obtain the equation for the electric field directly from Coulomb's Force law?  I wanted to know that because as pointed out in the question I've mentioned, although Maxwell's Equations can be considered more fundamental, those equations are obtained after we know Coulomb's and Biot-Savart's laws, so if we start with Maxwell's Equations to obtain Biot-Savart's having use it to find Maxwell's Equations then I think we'll fall into a circular argument.   In that case, without recoursing to Maxwell's Equations the only way to obtain Biot-Savart's law is through observations or can it be derived somehow? Can you retrain the Magic Initiate spell using the Spellcasting feature? got me thinking about the mechanics of the Magic Initiate feat when you have class levels in the class into which you were inducted.    Among the classes you can pick with this feat are the Bard, Sorcerer, and Warlock, which know a limited number of spells and all have the same statement under Spells Known.     Additionally, when you gain a level in this class, you can choose one of the [class] spells you know and replace it with another spell from the [class] spell list , which must also be of a level for which you have spell slots.   The term "learning" is used both to describe new spells acquired on level-up and the spell acquired through the feat. This would seem to indicate your Magic Initiate spell counts among the spells you know, and is thus eligible for retraining if you learned it as a spell of your class.  An odd change in wording occurs during the Magic Initiate feat description (emphasis mine):     In addition, choose one 1st-level spell from the same list. You learn that spell and can cast it at its lowest level.   This generalization in describing the learned spell's level seems to imply that there exists a scenario where it would not be appropriate to restrict the spell to being cast as a 1st-level spell.  Could one of the charisma casters retrain Magic Initiate into a higher level spell, which they could then cast once per long rest without using a slot?  This would turn an otherwise unexciting feat into, effectively, a Mystic Arcanum for Bards and Sorcerers. This seems too powerful to be intentional,  but the feat description appears to have gone out of its way to permit it. Why does the set of all singleton sets not exist?

Password Protect QGIS project On a shared computer, I have a QGIS project which links up to a PostGIS database that contains my data. If a user wants to access layers from the db, they have to enter the db credentials, so that's OK.   However, I have previously logged on and imported layers from my db into QGIS, and manipulated them in QGIS (styling options based on meta-data, etc.)... Anybody who opens my QGIS project can view these layers in QGIS, and can therefore see the data I wish to be protected in my db.  Is there a way to password protect my QGIS project?

It would only mean that the time reference is producing a negative count.
