Is it possible to enter the next command line like this:  command1 ; command2;   After validating command1?  For example I do:  make    And it takes a long time! I want to say: after this command: do ./myprogram So I can go take a coffee, and not just wait until it finishes to launch the next command.
I have the following commands.  cd import zcat urls1.sql.gz | mysql -u root -p urls cd /var/www/project1/ nano 1.php   As of now I'm executing it one by one.  Is there a way to combine those commands in one line?
When $\min_{x \in X,y \in Y} f(x,y) = \min_{x \in X} \min_{y \in Y} f(x,y)$? Python: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'lines.txt' Does upvoting a duplicate comment do anything? When a question is initially flagged as a duplicate, there is a comment. If the duplicate flag gets enough votes, the question is closed as a duplicate, and the comment is deleted.  Does upvoting the duplicate comment count as a close vote? Does it do anything at all? Trigger to use HTTP callout and update record with the results I have been trying to integrate Google Shortener API into my salesforce org. I wrote a class to make the call out, but am having difficulty bringing the value back into the record. I have a custom object called "referral_advocate__c" with a field called "Short_URL__c". Anytime the field "unique_ID__c" has a value, I am wanting to send this value with a static URL to google shortener and then save the response value to "referral_advocate__c.short_URL__c" on the record. This is the class to make the call out:  public class URLshort {  final string urls = 'https://www.myurl.com'; referral_advocate__c adv = new referral_advocate__c();  @future(callout = true) public static void URLshortner() {      HttpRequest req = new HttpRequest();     HttpResponse res = new HttpResponse();     Http http = new Http();      req.setEndpoint('https://www.googleapis.com/urlshortener/v1/url?key=myapikey');     req.setMethod('POST');     req.setHeader('Content-Type','application/json');            req.setBody('{"longUrl":+urls + adv.unique_reference_number_c}');       try {         res = http.send(req);         System.debug(res.getBody());     } catch(System.CalloutException e) {         System.debug('Callout error: '+ e);         System.debug(res.toString());     }   }  }   The after insert trigger on "referral_advocate__c" I wrote is not firing correctly. How do I return the results from this class and update the field "short_URL__C" with the returned value from a trigger? What happens when ability scores reach 0? D&amp;D 5E does not seem to have rules for ability score damage (that I could find), although it does mention that if CON is decreased, your maximum HP is reduced. In addition, the Shadow monster in the Monster Manual has a Strength Drain attack that deals 2 Strength damage. The attack says that if a character's Strength reaches 0, the character dies. Are there any general rules for ability damage in 5th Edition? How do I share variables between two functions? So...here is part of my code for a plugin.  I'm a newb of sorts so be kind.  I've read up on global variables but I can't seem to get it to work and I've read you shouldn't use them anyway.  So what would be the best way to write the code below without having to re-declare the variables for each function?

Maximum and minimum distance of two points Consider six distinct points in a plane. Let $m$ and $M$ denote respectively the minimum and the maximum distance between any pair of points.

Editing is not possible for me right now because I have already five suggested edits pending. It used to be the case that the link would've been grayed out (and the reason shown as a popover). , and while I'm not sure it's an improvement, the current implementation needs some fixing at least.  This bug appears regardless of the actual reason that the edit isn't possible; for instance,  is another user experiencing the same bug who couldn't suggest an edit because of an already pending one. Apparently, I'm far from the only one who experiences this issue. As of last Sunday morning,  have been posted networkwide (and are still alive) and  is #16. Website home page design when there are multiple audiences I am in the process of creating a website which has two distinct audiences - in my case consumers and retailers.  When I first started the process just a few weeks ago I had followed the then model used by PayPal who too have to deal with distinct audiences.    However, having Googled around a bit for what the accepted wisdom is when dealing with website landing pages for segmented markets it appears to me that the current belief is that one just directs the visitor away from the landing page to other, segment focused, pages ASAP.  I have to admit that I am having trouble buying that philosophy.  To my mind it makes sense to provide at least some basic information - key benefits - for each segment on the landing page and then let viewers who linger long enough the opportunity to easily drill down to their own segment-focused page.  My own reasoning is that most first time visitors are liable to want to bounce away quickly and making them find and click on the segment page link is more likely to make them bounce than if they find enough to hold them on the landing page for a bit longer.  I'd like to have other views on this.  What are the pros and cons of the    Drive traffic to segment-focused page ASAP vs Provide some basic information - at least key benefits - for each segment on the landing page itself Improve the user self-deletion process The current process for self-deletion of a user account has several problematic aspects, both in the process itself and in the end result. Some of these issues are:   The process requires manual intervention of a mod or SE employee, leading to delays and sometimes mistakes. It is more complicated than it has to be, which can lead to the impression that SE is imposing some rather arbitrary-looking restrictions and steps one has to take. This can give the impression that the user isn't really in control of his private data at SE. It is irreversible once the account is deleted, although an account can be partially reconstructed with a lot of manual effort from an SE developer. There is no real protection against mod/SE employee errors, if an account is deleted in error, there is no easy way to undo the damage. Because it is manual, it consumes the time of SE employees that have to deal with it  (unless  is used), removing useful voting information and annoying users that lose reputation that way.   I'm proposing an alternative way of handling self-deletion that would be automated, and also reversible to some extent, while still being pretty much a hard-delete (and not a soft-delete that would be problematic with respect to user privacy). The process would work roughly like this:   The user clicks a "delete profile" button in his profile. There should be a way to indicate if you want to delete all profiles on all SE sites, only on this site and a way to select multiple sites from a list where the profile should be deleted. It is verified that the user has true access to the account in some way (confirmation mail?) and not just someone that found the unlocked computer of the user. A countdown until deletion is started (I'd go with 48h, but that could be different). The timer shouldn't be too long, but long enough to correct mistakes and leave users a bit of time to reconsider. Alternative options would be to enable users to override the countdown if they really want to nuke their account immediately. Another option would be to soft-delete the account immediately, and make the countdown only for hard-deletion of the user data. Upon deletion, the posts of the user and his votes are transferred to a newly created blank account, the original account itself is hard-deleted with all the remaining data it contains. The dummy account that holds the user's data should be flagged in some way as deleted, so that the profile links will be disabled, the profile won't be accessible and it won't appear in any user lists.  The user receives a private code that can be used to claim ownership of the account. Other ways are not possible as all private information is removed about the account. This allows for an automatic way of reclaiming most of the important parts of a deleted account. The ability to restore a deleted account might have to be somewhat restricted to avoid misusing it to get rid of the account history. It is more meant as an additional safeguard so that account reconstruction is more easily possible in rare cases. Such additional safeguards might be necessary as the deletion itself would be automatic and without oversight from SE or moderators.   I personally think that the information which posts and votes were connected to a (now anonymized) account is not sensitive enough that it would have to be removed on account deletion. My idea is that this would be close enough to a hard-delete that it satisfies any privacy concerns, but still allow reassociation of posts with a recovered account. The partial reversibility would alleviate concerns about removing the manual oversight by mods and SE employees over the account deletion process.

Cannot change stroke width in Inkscape I am trying to change the stroke width of an icon in Inkscape but, unlike other times I have done this, this time the stroke width appears to be 0 px and I am not allowed to make it thinner:    The stroke width is actually quite large already, is there another setting I should edit to make it thinner?

I can use set_error_handler() to catch most PHP errors, but it doesn't work for fatal (E_ERROR) errors, such as calling a function that doesn't exist. Is there another way to catch these errors?  I am trying to call mail() for all errors and am running PHP 5.2.3. Is the concept of even/odd numbers applicable to decimal numbers? For e.g. - 4.222 is a even number? I'm going thru a phone swap, and I now realize that I have multiple ID's   "codename" "codename@example.com" "realname@example.com"   I've tested all three, and they all have different login passwords. Not sure how I got here but I'd like to clean the mess up.  Is there any way to delete / remove / erase unwanted ID's so they don't exist anymore?  (Note: their existence creates total havoc with any type of ID edit...)  I see from  that I can't merge the apple ID's, but can I simply delete the unwanted ID's? Proving the limit of a function of a sequence is equal to the function of the limit of that sequence Suppose $f$ is a continuous function at $x = c$ in $[a,b]$.  Prove that for any sequence ${x_n}$ in $[a,b]$ converting to $c$, the sequence $\{f(x_n)\}$ converges to $f(c)$.  That is, $$ \lim_{n\to\infty}f(x_n)= f\left(\lim_{n\to\infty}x_n\right)$$    This proof seems simple but there are a few things that I need to know first. If $\{x_n\}$ converges to $c$, is it sufficient to substitute $c$ in for $\lim_{n\to\infty}x_n$?  Also needing some guidance on the structure of this proof.  Thanks!

Anyone knows how to update to the most version? Thank you very much!!
