Is there an equivalent term to anachronistic when referring to regional disparities between concepts rather than chronological ones?
Is there a noun for something that is "out of place" in space, like an anachronism is "out of place" in time? E.g., an old-timey barber shop in a chic neighborhood.
What type of Collider should I add to a LineRenderer? I am currently building a game where I need to generate some wires (as Bézier curves) using LineRenderer. After changing the width of each line  lineRenderer.SetWidth (0.15f, 0.15f);   I am attaching an EdgeCollider2D to the same game object (specifying the same points used in generating the Bézier curve). This seems to work. However, I would like to be able to know if the Mouse Pointer is at any time over the EdgeCollider2D (something similar to the popular Fruit Ninja game). I'm using Raycast as follows:  void CastRay() {     Ray ray = Camera.main.ScreenPointToRay (Input.mousePosition);     RaycastHit2D hit = Physics2D.Raycast (ray.origin, ray.direction, Mathf.Infinity);      if (hit) {         Debug.Log (hit.collider.gameObject.name);     } }   I'm calling the CastRay method inside the Update method. Because EdgeCollider2D does not have width (as expected), the log message is never produced.  Do I need to use a different type of Collider? Do I need to call CastRay somewhere else? Smoothness constraint of wave function Is there anything in the physics that enforces the wave function to be $C^2$? Are weak solutions to the Schroedinger equation physical? I am reading the beginning chapters of Griffiths and he doesn't mention anything. How to configure extra buttons in Logitech Mouse SCP through multiple hosts describes how to SSH into a machine that can only be accessed through one or more hosts (that can also be SSH'd into).  Is there an equivalent way of using scp? That is, copy a file to my local machine from the far machine (assuming I have password or key access to all machines along the way)? Why do cars gain lift while going at a high speed? I've been researching the physics involved with spoilers and I've just been turning up the same information about spoilers giving the back wheels of a car more traction by acting as an up side down airfoil.   So my question is, what exactly causes the car to apparently gain lift while moving quickly, so as to merit the use of a spoiler, and is this entirely due to the aerodynamics of the vehicle in question?   Edit: Clarity of question. How to download packages from a command-line given repository? It is not about the common download &amp; install thing, what apt (aptitude, etc) does, it is a scripted download a package file.  I found the dget tool for this task, which works quite well. But, unfortunately, it doesn't have any option to specify a different repository URL as it is given in the /etc/apt/sources.list.  Is it somehow possible? Actually, a dget-like functionality would be the best, but where I can also specify the repo URL.    P.s. thank you very much the scripts, but I would like to prefer a debian tool for this very simple task. It will be part of a buildscript, for external usage, and any unneeded complexity has intolerable collateral costs. It must be done by a debian tool.  P.s.2. Finally I solved this with updating the system-wide repos, and downloading the packages with dget. Thank you very much the scripts! How to create a bootable USB stick? I am looking at this:    I need to create a boot disk to test Ubuntu to make sure it will run on a PC (Compaq Mini CQ10-120LA) I was given. I can create the boot disk off of a Mac (in English) or Windows (but Windows is in Spanish and foreign to me).   Questions:     What format do I choose for the USB stick? (I wish the instructions stated this). What is Dash? (Will I know when I run the installer?) Can I do this from a Mac or Windows computer? Or only from Ubuntu?

I need to remove all files with .gif extension except one file with name say "filename.gif". What is the optimal way to go about doing this in terminal?  The command rm *.gif removes all gif files including the file filename.gif. Dark age of universe when all fusion process ceases? Some say we live in the golden age of the universe because there exits countless number of stars that shines in the dark universe. As the supply of gas for star formation is steadily being exhausted, it is estimated that star formation will cease in 100 trillion years.  Question: Will there be a day that the universe becomes completly dark when all the stars burn out? Does all the cooled bodies eventually collide due to gravitational forces? Will black holes eventually dominate the universe? My textbook states that:  ...The capacitance $C$ depends only on the geometrical configuration (shape, size, separation)of the system of two conductors. [As we shall see, later, it also depends on the nature of the insulator (dielectric) separating the two conductors.]...  Now I wanted to know if these were the only two factors on which the capacitance of a conductor depends. So I tried thinking about it from the basic definition, which is:  Capacitance is the ratio of the change in electric charge of a system to the corresponding change in its electric potential. (Source: )  i.e., $$C= \frac {dQ}{dV}$$ where, $V$ is the potential of the conductor with respect to zero potential at infinity. Now, I can not think of why $C = f(V)$ isn't a possible scenario, assuming that shape size, etc remains constant. So:  Why cannot $C$ be a function of $V$? When I installed my SSD I just mounted with discard and didn't sweat it. However today I was reading about the pros and cons of using fstrim instead and decided to run the program to get an idea of how long it would actually take (still with my partitions mounted with discard). The command took several minutes on both my root and home partitions. For my home partition I used -v and got this:  $ sudo fstrim -v /home /home: 137494052864 bytes were trimmed   This is more than the amount of free space on the partition!  $ df -h /home Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sda2       206G   78G  118G  40% /home   Subsequent runs finish in less than a second, eg:  $ sudo fstrim -v /home /home: 0 bytes were trimmed   Surely if I have always had the partition mounted with discard, fstrim should not trim a large amount of data like that? The discard option is definitely enabled, here are the relevant fstab lines:  UUID=xxxxxxxx...    /          ext4   noatime,discard,errors=remount-ro  0      1 UUID=xxxxxxxx...    /home      ext4   noatime,discard,errors=remount-ro  0      2   And mount output lines:  /dev/disk/by-uuid/xxxxxxxx... on / type ext4 (rw,noatime,discard,errors=remount-ro,stripe=128,data=ordered) /dev/sda2 on /home type ext4 (rw,noatime,discard,errors=remount-ro,stripe=128,data=ordered)   The SSD is a TOSHIBA THNSNS256GMCP.

Retrieving date in sql server, CURRENT_TIMESTAMP vs GetDate() Using SQL Server - which is the fastest or best practice method to use for date retrieval? Is there a difference? Problems with Groups in Traminer I'm having a problem using the group function in TraMineR. I have a data set that contains SPELL data, so multiple rows per case. I also have demographic data per case, at one row per case. I merge these together and end up with data that has a demographic covariate per row, so multiple rows per case. An example of this data would be:  id startmin stopmin activity educ4 4      1      20       work    HS 4      20     40       play    HS 8      1      15       sleep   College 8      15     40       work    College   I can make sequence data from this, but when I try to run a plot using the group command        seqiplot(atus.seq, group = atus.seqdata$educ4, border=NA,                 withlegend="right",  cex.plot=.55)   it tells me:       &gt;"Error: group must contain one value for each row in the sequence object".   I have gotten this to work with the example of the mvad data in the training manual, but I can't seem to get it to work with the groups, whether I link to the original demographic data, the merged data, or try to pass the covariates by seqformat and seqdef. Ideas? Unable to format internal drive as APFS on 2018 MacBook Pro I’ve recently ran a semi-routine clean install on my 2018 MacBook Pro. This involves the following steps (in the given order):   Creating a USB installer with the latest macOS Mojave 10.14.2. Booting into the USB (Pressing Option key on boot). Using the Disk Utility, erasing the Disk and formatting it as APFS with a GPT Partition scheme. Using the Terminal, unmounting the disk diskutil unmountDisk disk0, where disk0 is the internal NVME drive. Using the Terminal, running gpt destroy disk0 where disk0. Using the Terminal, running diskutil zeroDisk disk0. Once that process is complete, I use the Disk Utility application to reformat as APFS, and install macOS.   Nothing super crazy, maybe a little redundant in steps, maybe a little overkill, maybe a little unnecessary.  Recently, however, on the final step where I format it as a APFS drive, it fails in creating the APFS container and says Internal State Error. It appears to first format as Mac OS Extended (Journaled) then create an APFS container, then add a APFS Volume. It fails when adding a Volume with An internal error occurred.  I have tried many things, including:   Securely erasing the drive diskutil secureErase 0 disk0. Simply zeroing the disk again diskutil zeroDisk disk0 (I’m not sure what the actual difference between these two are). Reformatting the drive as other things, such as ExFAT / FAT / MacOS Journaled, then trying to format as APFS. Reformatting the drive through the command line instead: diskutil eraseDisk JHFS+ NAME disk0 → diskutil apfs createContainer /dev/disk0s2 → diskutil apfs addVolume disk0s2 APFS NAME (It fails here with Error starting APFS Container creation: The given disk is not an APFS Container Reference (-69630), even though I just made a container there. Also, trying to add a volume to where it actually made the container (i don't know what it does this) diskutil apfs addVolume disk24 APFS NAME also fails with Error: -69624: Unable to add a new APFS Volume to an APFS Container Reformatting the drive using this: diskutil eraseDisk APFS NAME disk0 Restarting and trying these again. Using a different installer than the USB (The one from Command + R, Command + Shift + R, and whatever the other combo is), and trying these again.   All end up at the same thing - the final step fails. I would expect especially after a secure wipe that the drive would be removed from whatever state it was put in, or that if it was a bug with the 10.14.2 installer, that it still wouldn’t happen again in the High Sierra installer. In Disk Utility, I’m left with the following structure:  - APPLE SSD AP(...) // “Container disk24” takes up all space      - Container disk24 // or some other number. “Used” is 207.2MB and “Free” is 1TB.   Please note even though I can format as JHFS+, it won’t let me install the OS to such a formatted volume. The installer tells me this computer forces me to only install on APFS formatted volumes.  Any direction is greatly appreciated. I have never had such a silly problem before. Also, note that I have no Time Machine backup.
