Is it worth it to migrate off-topic questions that already have an accepted answer?
I posted a question which was closed as off-topic and it seems like it could fit on another site in the network. How can I go about moving it there?   What is migration? When can a question be migrated, and who can migrate it? When should I consider migration, and when is it inappropriate? What causes a migration to be blocked and what happens after? What causes a migration to be rejected and what happens after? Anything else I should know about migration?
How to prove the property of the Lemoine point of a triangle? From Wolfram , I know there is a Lemoine point of triangle, also called symmedian point, the sum of squared distances of this point to all the three sides is algebraically minimum.    How to prove such a property? Techniques for embedding images with transparent backgrounds in LaTeX Intersection of open affines can be covered by open sets distinguished in *both*affines Suppose $X$ is an arbitrary scheme and $U \cong \operatorname{Spec} A$ and $V \cong \operatorname{Spec} B$ are affine upon subsets of $X$.  It's not true in general that $U \cap V$ is affine, so if we want to prove basic results about general schemes (e.g. the stuff in section II.3 of Hartshorne), we need some technical means of understanding what goes on on the intersections of open affines.  I've heard that this can be done by covering $U \cap V$ with open sets which are distinguished in both $U$ and $V$, i.e. sets $W \subseteq U \cap V$ with $W \cong \operatorname{Spec} A_f \cong \operatorname{Spec} B_g$ for some $f \in A$ and $g \in B$.  I'm having trouble actually proving this.    So, questions:   Is this actually true? If so, how are these sets constructed? I have some non-Gaussian distributed variable and I need to check if there are significant differences between the values of this variable in 5 different groups.  I have performed Kruskal-Wallis one-way analysis of variance (which came up significant) and after that I had to check which groups were significantly different. Since the groups are kind of sorted (the values of the variable in the first group are supposed to be lower than the values of the variable in the second group which are supposed to be lower than the values of the variable in the third group and so on) I only performed 4 tests:  Group 1 vs Group 2 Group 2 vs Group 3 Group 3 vs Group 4 Group 4 vs Group 5   I have performed this analysis with two different methods. I started by using Dunn's Multiple Comparison Test but nothing came up significant. On the other hand if I use Mann-Whitney test and correct for the number of tests (4) using Bonferroni, 3 tests come up significant.  What does it mean? Which results should I trust? Can I be automatically notified of prolonged blocking in SQL server? About once a week I have to resolve a blocking chain on a SQL Server 2005 database, caused by a long-lived read lock from an Access 2003 front-end. The lock is taken out whenever a user opens a certain form and is released once the user has finished scrolling through the form or closes it. Since many of our users open this form as reference, these locks stay around for a while. Any update to the table causes the blocking, and suddenly nobody can select from this table since they're all waiting on the first lock. This is quite a problem for us, since lots of apps rely on this data. I understand that this locking behavior is part of how Access works with linked tables.  I've been solving the problem from Activity Monitor,  whenever I find out about it. This is a problem not only because it takes me time to do it manually, but also because it's reactive. By the time I hear about it, it's already been a problem for a lot of people.  I'd like to know if there is an automatic way to check for these long-lasting blocking chains, and either be emailed or have the problem resolved automatically. The logic seems straightforward enough ("if any process matching this SELECT query has been blocking for longer than a minute, notify me/kill it") but I don't know how to implement this with SQL Server.  For what it's worth, I think the proper solution is to fix or rewrite the app. However, due to departmental politics, this is not an option for the next few months, so I'm looking for a stopgap. Is there a program to mount all of my drives automatically? I recall being somewhat impressed by a novel I read a few years back – this book may be less than five years old – which featured a college-aged man.  He had a laptop which transformed into a troll goblin that served as his familiar.  In the story's universe, mages had switched to the Internet for most of their magic &amp; communication.  The main character was essentially a magical hacker, and spent much of the book fighting against his evil aunt (I think, I know it was a female relative) with the help of his cousin.  Older forms of magic were also featured, including using special paintings as magical portals, and spells being whistled by wizards.  It features a scene at a gas station where the laptop is disabled by a virus, and the main character whistles a spell to reanimate dinosaurs from the gasoline.  Is this ringing any bells? Two  have been announced in LoL.  They have an ability that makes them be able to recall together.                                  What are the limits to this ability? Can the 'non-recaller' jump in at the last second and get some kind of instant recall?  Can somebody with the setup to get on PBE test it and tell us what are the limitations of this ability? Polygonizing a raster yields lots of little squares? I have a pdf with the area of a county that I want to separate into multiple shapefiles (polygons) based on color.   As shown in the first picture there are 4 colors so I would need to separate based on color between those four. But first, I need to convert it into a vector (unless there is an easier way).   Doing so, I get the second image as an output by using the polygonize tool which when zoomed in very close, has a lot of tiny squares where color should be different. I was wondering if there is a way to break a raster up by color even though the image isn't smart. save as a video as .mp4 So I made an intro using animation and it saves it as a .blend and I want it so save as a video like .mp4 or something like that. I've tried changing the codec because I tried opening the intro with windows media instead of blend. I didn't try all the codec's but I tried some of them. How do I configure Nautilus to open at my Documents folder instead of my home folder?  I've scoured this site and found answers instructing users to edit the /usr/share/applications/nautilus.desktop file, replacing %U with the path to the desired default directory. I've edited all the variants of nautilus.desktop in the said directory, but none of the edits has an effect. I've checked all the files after editing them to make sure that I saved the edit effectively, and all look good to me.   I've edited every file to read as follows:  Exec=nautilus --new-window /home/judy/Documents   I've also edited the org.gnome.Nautilus.desktop file, just to be sure, with no joy.   I'm running Ubuntu 15.10.  Note: if I enter nautilus /home/judy/Documents from the command line, Nautilus properly opens in the desired directory.  Is there a simple way that I can configure an icon in the launcher bar to run this command and have the Nautilus icon that looks like a metal file drawer?  Thanks. I'm pulling my hair out over this one. In Bishop's book "Pattern Classification and Machine Learning", it describes a technique for regularization in the context of neural networks. However, I don't understand a paragraph describing that during the training process, the number of degrees of freedom increases along with the model complexity. The relevant quote is the following:     An alternative to regularization as a way of controlling the effective   complexity of a network is the procedure of early stopping. The   training of nonlinear network models corresponds to an iterative   reduction of the error function defined with respect to a set of   training data. For many of the optimization algorithms used for   network training, such as conjugate gradients, the error is a   nonincreasing function of the iteration index. However, the error   measured with respect to independent data, generally called a   validation set, often shows a decrease at first, followed by an increase as the network starts to over-fit. Training can therefore be   stopped at the point of smallest error with respect to the validation   data set, as indicated in Figure 5.12, in order to obtain a network   having good generalization performance. The behaviour of the network   in this case is sometimes explained qualitatively in terms of the   effective number of degrees of freedom in the network, in which this   number starts out small and then to grows during the training process,   corresponding to a steady increase in the effective complexity of the   model.   It also says that the number of parameters grows during the course of training. I was assuming that by "parameters", it refers to the number of weights controlled by the network's hidden units. Maybe I'm wrong because the weights are prevented to increase in magnitude by the regularization process but they don't change in number. Could it be referring to the process of finding a good number of hidden units?  What's a degree of freedom in a neural network? What parameters increase during  training? My variables are   LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/oracle/11.2/client64/lib ORACLE_HOME=/usr/lib/oracle/11.2/client64   How to save these variables permanently ? I have a live USB made with the standard Ubuntu disk image creator for 16.04 LTS. In the current state, I can boot to this disk, but it still requires the original USB to run properly at all times.  Attempting to pull the drive and use the system generates a large amount of I/O errors, further suggesting that the USB drive is actually needed for things not already loaded into RAM (For example, Firefox worked without the USB, but I used it once before already. apt, on the other hand, did not.)  Is there a way to copy the entire Ubuntu live disk to RAM, so I can remove the drive and free up a USB slot for other things? Accuracy Vs. Precision  What I would like to know is whether I should use System.currentTimeMillis() or System.nanoTime() when updating my object's positions in my game?  Their change in movement is directly proportional to the elapsed time since the last call and I want to be as precise as possible.  I've read that there are some serious time-resolution issues between different operating systems (namely that Mac / Linux have an almost 1 ms resolution while Windows has a  50ms resolution??).  I'm primarly running my apps on windows and 50ms resolution seems pretty inaccurate.  Are there better options than the two I listed?  Any suggestions / comments?

Posting images in chat using drag and drop I think it will be a good idea if there is a drag and drop image posting in chat. User needs to follow many steps to upload an image using upload button. Let $ D = 2^\mathbb{N} $, i.e., D is the set of all sets of natural numbers.   What's the meaning of this definition? Intuitively, I would suggest that $ D = \{1,2,4,...\} $ but the explanation "set of all sets" leads me to the guess that this is wrong. What use are Steam Trading Cards? Is it purely a 'gotta-have-them-all' mindset, or do they actually serve some purpose?  I notice that you are able to sell them on a community market. For a test I listed one, and someone bought it for 50p. Not exactly a huge amount, but I don't understand why someone would spend real money on them.  Am I missing something?   Are they redeemable for games or money off vouchers or something 'tangible' that I'm missing?
