I have a bi-level home. On the side of my home is a finished family room and bedroom.

Often, crontab scripts are not executed on schedule or as expected. There are numerous reasons for that:   wrong crontab notation permissions problem environment variables   This community wiki aims to aggregate the top reasons for crontab scripts not being executed as expected. Write each reason in a separate answer.  Please include one reason per answer - details about why it's not executed - and fix(es) for that one reason.  Please write only cron-specific issues, e.g. commands that execute as expected from the shell but execute erroneously by cron. Restarting Mathematica causes an animation to fail to run As a programmer, I have no problem with seeing or using "and/or" in technical documentation. For example,     I can upvote an answer that satisfies me and/or mark it as accepted.   That's perfectly good English to me. However, if I were writing a novel, or even just an essay, or — heaven forbid — a poem, "and/or" would seem extremely out of place.  My question is, what should I be using instead? (I solemnly swear I will not use that knowledge to actually write a poem.) How to draw Brownian motions in tikz/pgf Do a "git export" (like "svn export")? I've been wondering whether there is a good "git export" solution that creates a copy of a tree without the .git repository directory. There are at least three methods I know of:   git clone followed by removing the .git repository directory.  alludes to this functionality but starts with "Just read the desired tree into the index..." which I'm not entirely sure how to do.  is a third party script that essentially does a git clone into a temporary location followed by rsync --exclude='.git' into the final destination.   None of these solutions really strike me as being satisfactory. The closest one to svn export might be option 1, because both those require the target directory to be empty first. But option 2 seems even better, assuming I can figure out what it means to read a tree into the index. I am trying to understand how complex numbers made their way into QM. Can we have a theory of the same physics without complex numbers? If so, is the theory using complex numbers easier? Should we restrict signup for a service to Facebook accounts only? GPS PPS signal corresponds to data time? I currently have an Adafruit Ultimate GPS connected to an Arduino that outputing GPS data (nmea sentences) once per second.  There is also a pin on the GPS outputting 1 PPS signal.    My question is whether the pulse of the PPS suppose to match the time that the GPS data is coming in i.e are they are coming in at the same time?    Also does PPS pulse come in at the beginning of a UTC second or is it random and simply once a second? How to rename a group of files with what looks like a Windows file path in their names I got a bunch of files with the filename messed up. All the file names have the same beginning which appear to be windows file directories. The problem is there are 700+ files and I really don't want go through and manually rename all of them. These are examples of the file names (Note: None of these have file directories):  G:some\really\long\file\path\then\the\name1.jpg G:some\really\long\file\path\then\the\name2.png G:some\really\long\file\path\then\the\filename.txt G:some\really\long\file\path\then\the\file_name.mov ...   The important take away is that each file has G:some\really\long\file\path\then\the\ before the file name that I would like.   So I would want the above files to look like:  name1.jpg name2.png filename.txt file_name.mov   I've tried the rename command and was not successful.

How does the size/length of an object vary with distance?   Is it a logarithmic relationship? exponential? linear?
