Is there a word for things which you always one more of? like chips, or beer, or civilization V?  I thought maybe compulsive, but it doesn't seem right in a sentce "Chips are so compulsive!" or "Beer is so compulsive! I can't ever have only one!"
When we eat something, after munching and swallowing a bite, we are strongly stimulated to have one more bite. What is the taste that causes this effect?
Can I disable full-disk encryption? I recently installed Ubuntu 12.10 and it requires a passphrase to boot up (I installed it with an encrypted file system).  Do I have to reinstall to change to a standard unencrypted file system? How to NOT show keyboard layout chooser popup when changing language in GNOME 3 What conservation law corresponds to Lorentz boosts? Noether's Theorem is used to relate the invariance of the action under certain continuous transformations to conserved currents. A common example is that translations in spacetime correspond to the conservation of four-momentum.  In the case of angular momentum, the tensor (in special relativity) has 3 independent components for the classical angular momentum, but 3 more independent components that, as far as I know, represent Lorentz boosts. So, what conservation law corresponds to invariance under Lorentz boosts? Assume that a person (not me, I only hold a single citizenship :) has a double citizenship in countries such as the US, Singapore, Australia, Japan, etc, which are eligible for 90/180 visa-free stays in the Schengen area. Could they officially remain in the Schengen area indefinitely by taking a trip to (say) the UK every 89 days? Why is this series of square root of twos equal $\pi$? Wikipedia claims this but only cites an offline proof:  $$\lim_{n\to\infty} 2^n \sqrt{2-\sqrt{2+\cdots+ \sqrt 2}} = \pi$$  for $n$ square roots and one minus sign. The formula is not the "usual" one, like Taylor series or something like that, so I can't easily prove it. I wrote a little script to calculate it and it's clearly visible, but that's not a proof. Buffering GeoJSON file using Python? In vanilla Gmail, clicking on a conversation alters the fragment ID in the URL, allowing you to link back to that conversation.  (It opens in its own Gmail interface.)  I am using the preview pane, which is great, except that the URL no longer updates when viewing specific emails, so there appears to be no way to get the link to the currently-viewed conversation.  (The 'open in new window' button doesn't help, since it pulls its contents in on the client side; it isn't a standalone link.)  The only solution I've found is to turn off the preview pane, find the message again in the list, open it, grab the link, go back to the message list, and turn preview pane back on.  That's fairly onerous for something I do often though (to clip Gmail conversations to Evernote, where my GTD setup lives). Development with git branches/ gitflow and new modules I wonder if somebody found a solution for the following issue related to Drupal 8 development with Git branches:   You work on a new feature in a local feature branch for that you activate a contributed module or you write a custom module. This maybe delivers an own entity type and therefore creates a table after installing Meanwhile you need to fix a bug -> you change to a newly created bugfix branch which starts from the current dev branch After checking out the bugfix branch you import the current configurations to have the current active configuration of the branch -> the module you installed in feature branch is not activated anymore, the files of this module do not exist in the current bugfix branch You do your bugfixing and merge ths bugfix branch into develop branch. you change to your feature branch. To bring your local Drupal project to the status of this branch again you will import the configurations again   And here it comes to an exception: the table already exists in your database. When doing a drush cim it stops every following processing and you need to restart drush cim to import any further configurations.  Who does work with different feature branches and found a solution during development process to deal with this kind of situation? My PC has 8 Gb of ram. Is there any way to make ubuntu use most of it? I mean rarely drop caches and keep once opened programms in ram longer, preload apps on boot, etc. Do not show the score for users during primaries I believe that showing the post score for nomination posts during primaries is a bad idea.  When I loaded the primaries page during the election, the first thing I saw was a post voted -1. This immediately colored my impression of the post. Reading his post didn't indeed make me wish he was a moderator, but at the same point I couldn't bring myself to click on the down arrow. He wasn't an awesome candidate, but he wasn't a -2 score candidate either. Actually, I kinda wanted to sympathy upvote instead.  I want to judge by myself whether a candidate is worth or not my +1. For some of those people I don't have an opinion already, and I want to form one on my own. I don't want game theory to kick in, I don't want to be tricked into sympathy upvotes.  Having those numbers in large print as the first thing I see about them honestly prevents me from doing so. I'd rather have their avatar there.     Some people on chat do not agree with me;  I imagine they'll post explaining why I want to be aware of their opinion while forming my own.      Regardless of the discussion here, if you do prefer to hide the scores as you vote, here's the jQuery oneliner that does just that:  $(".vote-count-post").hide() Is there a way to block access to or wipe my Google data for a lost/stolen phone How do I use the Tooling API to create a new Apex Trigger?

"contribute to investigating" or "contribute to investigate" I'm trying to find, which of the following sentences is correct?  A) We try to highlight how they contribute to investigate their importance. B) We try to highlight how they contribute to investigating their importance.  I found that both cases were used frequently in formal writing. Edited: Sources for each case: For A: &quot;Their multifaceted nature means that there are very many routes to investigating their importance for understanding social change&quot; in &quot;A lineage for contemporary inter-city studies&quot; book. B: &quot;More factors are analysed to investigate their importance in scoring from shots and shot probabilities&quot; in &quot;Applications of logistic regression to shots at goal at association football&quot; book. What is the function of this circuit? Just wondering if someone can give me an explanation for this capacitor layout - what is it's function? The chip to the right is an ADC.  Circled in blue.    I'm guessing it is well known but i don't know how to search for it. biblatex: Cite commands with the same author prints authors name twice I'm using biblatex 1.4b, and Biber 0.9. However, I think the problem is with my settings, not with the versions of those programs.  I'm trying to cite a single author, and produce their name, followed by the dates of two papers, using the authoryear-ibid style, and natbib compatability. Here's my biblatex preamble:  \usepackage[style=authoryear-ibid,natbib=true,backend=biber]{biblatex}   What I want is for the following command: The works by \citet{Blau81, Blau88} ... to produce: The works by Blau (1981; 1988) ... however, what I'm getting is: The works by Blau (1981); Blau (1988)...  I know that biblatex knows they're the same author, since in the bibliography they fall under the same name (i.e. after the first instance of the name, there's just a dash instead of the name)  What am I doing wrong here? I've also tried it with the commands \cite and \cites, and neither produces what I want.   (crossposted with comp.text.tex) According to the Page 87 in Kruschke: Doing Bayesian Data Analysis, the author says that the mean of a distribution is a value that minimizes the variance of a probability distribution, for example, a normal distribution. The following is what is mentioned in the page:  It turns out that the value of $ M $ that minimizes $ ∫dx p(x)(x−M)^2$ is $E[X] $. In other words, the mean of the distribution is the value that minimizes the expected squared deviation. In this way, the mean is a central tendency of the distribution.  I have read the paragraph and kind of understood what the author is trying to say but I wonder how this can be written mathematically using the above equation or any other ways. I would like to typeset the top part of Pascal's triangle. To get the triangle with the names of the binomial coefficients, i.e., {n \choose k}, I used the following code  \begin{tikzpicture} \foreach \n in {0,...,4} {   \foreach \k in {0,...,\n} {     \node at (\k-\n/2,-\n) {${\n \choose \k}$};   } } \end{tikzpicture}   The result is this   Now I want to be equally lazy and do something like this for the values of the binomial coefficients, i.e., replace {\n \choose \k} in the node label with \CalculateBinomialCoefficient{\n}{\k} where \CalculateBinomialCoefficient is a hypothetical macro that calculates the binomial coefficient. Has anyone done something like that?  The result should look like this: This question was phrased as a bug report for LaTeX and I thought it would be helpful to be presented here (including an answer).  The person had a lot of "common words" in typewriter font sprinkled around his text and he was surprised that this text would not automatically hyphenate and he had to manually insert \- to mark hypenation points. I am using LaTeX with the article document class. The Bibtex bibliography style that I am using is agsm, part of the Harvard family of bibliography styles.  I have two questions:  (1) If I cite an entry of type @book, then in the reference list I get publisher, address. I would like to re-arrange this order to address: publisher. Which part of agsm.bst should I modify?  (2) I would like to change single quotation marks ' ' to double quotation marks " " for setting off the title of entries of type @article. Which part of agsm.bst should I focus on?
