The whole sentence is "But had events gone another way, this would be a rather different memoir."   Why is the sentence not like "But the events have gone another way"? "Have" and "events" are reversed, is this first conditional?
Were I rich, I would live on Long Island.   If I were rich, I would live on Long Island.   Is the first sentence still used, or is used in particular contexts (in example, to give emphasis to the sentence)?
How to keep font preferences in TexWorks 4 The default font is too small on my screen at the resolution I have it, so I like to reset the font to size 12, but it appears I have to do this everytime I launch the program.  How do I make it remember my preferences? When —the bartender at the Cantina at Mos Eisley spaceport in the first Star Wars—says:     “We don’t serve their kind here.”   In reference to C-3PO and R2-D2 entering the bar, it’s certainly a bit prejudicial, but are these commonly held views in this universe? We don’t see it happen anywhere else in the films but is it implied elsewhere? Combinatorics - Painting the Unit Squares of a 3x3 Square Question: Let $F_n$ the sequence of Fibonacci numbers, given by $F_0 = 0, F_1 = 1$ and $F_n = F_{n-1} + F_{n-2}$ for $n \geq 2$. Show for $n, m \in \mathbb{N}$: $$F_{n+m} = F_{n-1}F_m + F_n F_{m+1}$$   My (very limited) attempt so far: after creating a small list of the values $F_0=0, F_1=1, F_2=1, F_3=2, F_4=3, F_5=5, F_6=8, F_7=13, F_8=21, F_9=34, F_{10}=55$ i can see that yes it does seem to work for instance $F_{6+3}=F_5 F_3 +F_6 F_4 = 10 +24 = 34 = F_9$. However, I really don't know where to begin as showing that this must hold in general terms. Should I be looking to use limits? Or perhaps induction? What is the best way to solve this? How do I change my Minecraft username during the 30-day restriction? How can I make NON-fluffy pancakes? Every recipe I can find is for "fluffy" pancakes.  I prefer thinner, slightly crispy, (very) slightly chewy, non-fluffy pancakes.  Basically, the less "cake-like" the better.  Apparently I'm the only one, and these are all non-desirable qualities in a pancake, so it is hard to find recipes.  How can I make non-fluffy pancakes?  I will be using a cast-iron pan. Maybe the concept, why it's used, and an example. (This is on NT based Windows like 2000, XP, Vista, 7)  On the command-line, the percentage characters are ignored:  wget "http://www.justitie.nl/images/Handleiding%20voor%20verwerkers%20persoonsgegevens_tcm34-3940.pdf"   So it correctly downloads this file (each %20 becomes a space):  "http://www.justitie.nl/images/Handleiding voor verwerkers persoonsgegevens_tcm34-3940.pdf"   But inside a batchfile, all the %20 are being interpreted as expanding parameter 2 (which is empty) resulting in this file to get downloaded (each %20 becomes 0):  "http://www.justitie.nl/images/Handleiding0voor0verwerkers0persoonsgegevens_tcm34-3940.pdf"   Is there a way to circumvent the percentage parameter expansion?  --jeroen Geometry of Riemann Stieltjes integration What is the geometrical interpretation of Riemann Stieltjes Integration ?   We know that for Riemaan integration $\int_{a}^b f(x)dx$ represents the area bounded by the curve $y=f(x)$&amp; the straight lines $x=a$ &amp; $x=b$.  But when we integrate $f(x)$ with respect to another function $g(x)$ then which area represents that integration geometrically ? iPhone asks for Mac password (or Mac asks for iOS password) During iPhone update to iOS 10.3.1, I was asked for my password using the correct machine name for my Mac mini. To be clear, the request was not for my iCloud password, my actual local user account password for macOS. This can also happen in the other direction - setting up a Mac may ask for verification for you to enter your iPhone / iPad passcode (and not your iCloud password)  I could not find any information about this kind of access. I was thinking it was security for iCloud and possibly related to two step authorization or two factor authorization. This is the first time I can think of that I entered a desktop password outside of that actual desktop.  I don't have a screen shot but I recall an implication that some files in my Mac are encrypted and need my password. '... need to enter the password for .'   Are there settings I can I control this assuming it's a legitimate part of iCloud setup process or iOS setup process? I am having trouble adding an image picker to a block form defined in a custom module.  If I create a custom block type I can define an image field as entity_reference and in the block's form view tell it to use entity_browser and media_entity_browser.  This provides me with an picker with which I can select my image:    I am trying to recreate this in a block provided by my custom module, without much success  // /src/Plugin/Block/MyCustomBlock.php  function blockForm($form, FormStateInterface $form_state)  {     ...      $form['image'] = [       '#type' =&gt; 'entity_browser',       '#entity_browser' =&gt; 'media_entity_browser',       '#title' =&gt; $this-&gt;t('Image'),       '#default_value' =&gt; $this-&gt;configuration['image'] ?? null,       '#weight' =&gt; '0',     ];      ... }   This gives me the following.  Note the lack of the bounding box, title and option to edit remove items:     Exporting the configuration files for the working form view gets me this:  // core.entity_form_display.block_content.lead_block.default.yml      ...  field_image:     weight: 1     settings:       entity_browser: media_entity_browser       field_widget_display: rendered_entity       field_widget_edit: true       field_widget_remove: true       selection_mode: selection_append       field_widget_display_settings:         view_mode: default       open: false     third_party_settings: {  }     type: entity_browser_entity_reference     region: content   ...   But if I try and use 'type' =&gt; 'entity_browser_entity_reference' in my blockForm function the field disappears altogether.  Looking into various core files I can see that entity_browser is a @FormElement and entity_browser_entity_reference is a @FieldWidget but I don't really understand the difference.  As you might guess I am fairly new to Drupal and I feel like I am missing something fundamental.  I (think I) understand that custom block types are actually nodes internally and that they are subject to different rules to blocks which I define in my custom modules, but I don't fully grasp what the differences here are.  Is is it possible to use the entity browser in my custom module block form in the same way as it is used in the form which I build through the admin's custom block type builder?  Thank you. Another (perhaps humorous) term for "The Gold Standard" Gold Standard as in:     an example against which others of the same type are compared   -    Any other humorous ways to refer to this?  Something like "the holy mother"... I often have to write up reports based on the analysis of some data. I use R to analyse the data and export tables, figures, and text. This is then included into a LaTeX document either using input or Sweave ().  However, when I collaborate with others, I sometimes need to provide a document in Open Office / MS Word format.  Question:  Thus, assume the simplest scenario   I have a LaTeX document with text, tables, and figures I need to export this reliably into Open Office or MS Word format: this includes mathematical formulas, table formatting, and quality figures) I don't need to go back from MS Word to LaTeX   What is a reliable, efficient, and preferably free process?  Initial Thoughts:   Export to HTML,  LaTeX - LyX - ODF Use odfWeave  that deals with some specific issues associated with LaTeX to Open Office conversion    I was hoping that there is an expert out there who has worked out a good system already. How to tell the difference between linear and non-linear regression models? Auto increment filename I have a need to collect some duplicate files and want to avoid name collisions. The problem is that this collection of files might be added to by another execution of my script before the files are cleaned out and just want to continue to increment the number.  I decided on a simple until loop to increment the number like so.  until [[ ! -f ${PWD}/DUPES/${num}-$1 ]]; do num=$((num +1)) done mv --no-clobber $1 ${PWD}/DUPES/${num}-$1   I can't imagine ever exceeding 1k files in an extreme example, so my questions are...  Is this a terribly inefficient way to achieve this? Should I be parsing the existing files to get the highest leading number to start incrementing from there, or is this ok for the extreme example I put forth?  Or is there a better way all together? Best practice for Rails App to run a long task in the background? Select groups based on number of unique / distinct values I am simply adding user in 'Monitored Users' in Debug Logs. But User is not getting added. I have a Java bean like this:  class Person {   int age;   String name; }   I'd like to iterate over a collection of these beans in a JSP, showing each person in a HTML table row, and in the last row of the table I'd like to show the total of all the ages.  The code to generate the table rows will look something like this:  &lt;c:forEach var="person" items="${personList}"&gt;   &lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;${person.name}&lt;td&gt;&lt;td&gt;${person.age}&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt; &lt;/c:forEach&gt;   However, I'm struggling to find a way to calculate the age total that will be shown in the final row without resorting to scriptlet code, any suggestions? How does friction stop a car? I'm unable to understand how friction causes motion in cars and also is responsible for stopping them. When it starts the impending motion of tyres is in the backward direction that's why friction is in the forward direction and the car starts moving. But when the car engine turns off, the car stops after some time, but the condition of tyres are the same as in the previous case and friction must be in the forward direction.
