I have a file which contains a list of directories/files that I want to ignore when searching using find. It looks like this:  .git .vim config .vimrc .bashrc   This list is not exhaustive and can have any number of items. How can I ignore these files/directories when using find.  I've been trying to do find . -type f ! -path ..., but haven't been able to pass dynamic list as argument.
I need to build a list of files present in a directory but also pass in a file containing a list of directories to exclude.  I've seen the below suggestion but I've had no luck with it when it comes to the type flag:  find $dir_name $(printf "! -name %s " $(cat $exclude_file))   Is there a way I can do it or will I need to create the entire list and then work through it removing ones that partially match ones in the exclude directory.
how I can draw an skew cylinder (rotate around x axis) and fill it (in 3D tikz)? Add warning when changing display name The policy on changing one's display name :  only one display name change is allowed every 30 days  However, there is no warning whatsoever when actually changing one's display name.  Thus, it came as quite a bit of a shock to me when I found out today that I might be stuck as &quot;Unicorns are Yummy&quot; on Stack Overflow for the next freakin' month. I would like to recommend that a warning be added to the &quot;Edit Profile&quot; page to warn people. Or, at least make the policy concerning display name changes more obvious. Workaround I was able to change my display name back (phew!) by copying my profile from Meta Stack Overflow. I still think a warning should be implemented, though.

The Help Vampire problem Retrieve the position (X,Y) of an HTML element relative to the browser window I want to know how to get the X and Y position of HTML elements such as img and div in JavaScript relative to the browser window. Weak solutions to the Neumann's problem (Evans PDE) Let $U$ be connected. A function $u \in H^1(U)$ is a weak solution   of Neumann's problem   \begin{equation} (*)\qquad\left\{ \begin{array}{rl} -\Delta = f &amp; \text{in } U \\ \frac{\partial u}{\partial \nu} = 0 &amp; \text{on } \partial U \end{array} \right. \end{equation}   if   $$ \int_U Du \cdot Dv \; dx = \int_Ufv \; dx $$   for all $v \in H^1(U)$. Let $f\in L^2(U)$. Prove $(*)$ has a weak solution   if and only if   $$ \int_U f \; dx =0. $$   For the only if part I set $v=1$. However I do not see where to start the if part. I was thinking of the Lax-Milgram theorem. That's where I'm now. Is the Hogwarts Express in the magical or non-magical realm? This question is related to  and explores an apparent inconsistency, given only the Harry Potter movies as source material.  The Hogwarts Express line seems to have an inconsistent existence between magical (invisible to ordinary humans aka muggles) and non-magical (muggle) realms; platform 9-3/4 is clearly hidden from muggles, but in Chamber of Secrets, when Harry and Ron take the car (in the muggle world) to catch up to the train, they make no explicit crossing into a magical realm, suggesting that the train is traveling the muggle world despite its departure from a magical platform.  In which realm (magical or muggle) does the Hogwarts Express exist? How is this apparent inconsistency resolved? How do you remove the axis multiplier? Scheduling a Round Robin tournament - 4-way games I'm looking to schedule 16 players to play a round robin tournament with each other such that there are 4 players at each table.  I'd like for each player to play with each other player exactly once over the course of 5 rounds.
