A word that describes "when people start using large words in ways that only themselves can understand" And plz don't say wankism. That's similar thing, but not so popular. So what's a better way to express?
Is there an English word meaning "the use of uncommon words"? Is there an English word meaning "the use of uncommon words" or similar?
How to make a figure span on two columns in a scientific paper? I updated to Ubuntu 20.04. When I use the default terminal, everything is fine. But if try to use terminator, I cannot use sudo. I get permission denied. Again, only when using terminator.  How can I sudo from the terminator? I really would like to continue to use a terminator.  Edit: I just also noted that it cannot find make either. I guess it's all messed up. I'll try to uninstall it and install again I guess. I have a little question here.  If I have two files, say filea and fileb, mv filea fileb would   delete fileb rename filea to fileb   Then if I have two directories, say dira and dirb, mv dira dirb would   move dira into dirb (it will become dirb/dira)   Noting that in both cases there are no notice or message, then this is pretty inconsistent to me. I think mv dira dirb should just overwrite dirb with the contents of dira (or merge the two directories under a directory named dirb).  I remember reading somewhere that a directory name with a slash (like dira/) is treated like a directory, and name with no slash (like dira) is treated like a file (to certain extents, of course). Anyway now I want to make the shell (zsh and possibly bash) respect my notation of a directory by using a slash. Is there a terminal option which enable me to enforce that?  To clarify, here is my desired behaviour:   mv dira dirb results in dirb being overwritten with the contents of dira mv dira dirb/ results in dira being moved into dirb (in dirb/dira)   Has anyone thought the same way as me? Or am I just weird? How do the sets $\emptyset\times B,\ A\ \times \emptyset, \ \emptyset \times \emptyset $ look like? If we have a function $f:A \rightarrow B$, then one way to give meaning, I think, to this function, in terms of set theory, is to say, that $f$ is actually a binary relation $f=(A,B,G_f)$, where $G_f \subseteq A \times B$ is the graph of the function. Now my question is: what is $f$ if   $\bullet \ A=\emptyset, \ B\neq\emptyset$,?  $ \bullet \ B=\emptyset, \ A\neq\emptyset$ ?  $ \bullet \ B=\emptyset, \ A=\emptyset$ ?  (Another way to formulate this, I think, would be: How do the sets $\emptyset\times B,\ A\ \times \emptyset, \ \emptyset \times \emptyset $ look like? Are they all $\emptyset$ ?) Looking for a command to create the geometry line symbol (\overline with arrows on both ends) I need a way of encoding the geometry line symbol. $\overline{AB}$ gives me the line segment symbol and $\overrightarrow{AB}$ gives me the ray symbol, I need a way to get a bar over the letters that has arrows on both ends. $\overrightleftarrow{AB}$ does not work.

E.g. this one: How to automate entry of external column data in BCS? I have a document library, Resumes, that has a large number of resumes in it. There is a regular column on that library, called EmployeeID, that is already populated.  I have an external content type ( ECT ) that is mapped to a table that lists EmployeeID and several other columns of information. I added this ECT to the library as an External Column.    I am looking for a good way to automatically go through all items in the document library, and copy the value from the "regular" EmployeeID column into the External EmployeeID column and have it update the other columns from the ECT. Any techniques are useful (PowerShell, Object Model, Workflow?) When we have tried this in the past with workflows the setting of the External Column did not report failure, but didn't actually trigger a lookup of the other data and the value didn't seem to actually get saved.  [Update] I have been working on this and am getting closer. I am using PowerShell to access the list and set the external column ID field to the value I want it to be.  The problem is that it doesn't seem to be triggering a lookup of the external data when that field is set.  my "list" (a document library) has a few normal fields and a set of external columns mapped to an ECT "EmplData".  When you use the GUI to add or edit the properties of an item, it works. When I use PowerShell to do the following:  $spList = $spWeb.Lists["Resumes"] $spListItem = $spList.GetItemById(1) $spListItem["EmplData_ID"] = "00300"    $spListItem.Update()   Sometime the external ID field gets updated when I the refresh the web page, other times it says "(blank)". In all cases it does not load in the other fields.  Is there some Update method that updates the rest of the elements?  I gather from research that these are called "secondary fields", is the method to update the secondary fields based on the external item ID available in PowerShell cmdlets someplace?  [Update] I am finding that if I use:  $spListItem["EmplData"] = "000300"   instead of $spListItem["EmplData_ID"] = "00300" it gets around the problem of the column showing "(blank)".   I still need to figure how to make it update the other external columns (also known as "secondary columns" I think) Why do I get more satisfaction out of participating in SO than out of my job?

SQL to LINQ Tool Is there a tool out there which can convert SQL syntax to LINQ syntax?   I just want to rewrite basic queries with join, etc., to . It would save me a lot of time. I've been reading a Wikipedia article that describes the symptoms of rabies in various species, and I want to add a clarification note about which species (or species) a specific paragraph refers to. How can I make it clear that I'm referring either to the singular or plural of the word "species" when the singular of this word is the same as its plural? "Species or species" is the only grammatically correct way that I can think of, but it seems redundant and confusing. Is there any better way to contrast the singular of "species" from the plural of "species"? I'm having some troubles understanding the solution (going from step $2$ to step $3$) of this linear congruence equation. Here's the problem with the solution:   Solve the congruence $2x + 11 \equiv 7 \pmod 3$.   First, we reduce all the coefficients $\pmod 3$:  $$2x + 2 \equiv 1 \pmod 3. \tag{1}$$  Next, we add $1$ to both sides, using the fact that $2 + 1 \equiv 0 \pmod 3$:  $$2x \equiv 2 \pmod 3. \tag{2}$$  Finally, we multiply both sides by $2$, using the fact that $2 · 2 = 4 \equiv 1 \pmod 3$:  $$x \equiv 1 \pmod 3. \tag{3}$$  That is, any number in the set $\{\ldots, −5, −2, 1, 4, \ldots\}$ will solve the original congruence.    Like I said my problem is the step between $(2)$ and $(3)$. If I multiply both sides of $(2)$ by $2$ I get:  $$4x \equiv 4 \pmod 3.$$  Now, I understand that $4$ is congruent to $1 \pmod 3$ so the RHS "simplifies" to $1 \pmod 3$ but I don't understand why the LHS "simplifies" to $x$. Can someone help me with this? I am trying to show $$\lim_{n\rightarrow \infty} \int_{[0,1]^n} \frac{|x|}{\sqrt{n}}dx=\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$$ where $[0,1]^n$ is the unit cube in $\mathbb{R}^n$. I would appreciate any hint.
