Using , I created a self.site.yml file which seemed to work fine.  I get the correct values when running drush site:alias @self.stage, but when I try to run drush command @self.stage I get this error message.     PHP Fatal error:  Uncaught Error: Using $this when not in object context in ... /vendor/drush/drush/src/Runtime/DependencyInjection.php:59
Since drush 9 (drupal 8.4 requirement), alias @sites does not seem to be implemented anymore (or yet ?).  $ drush @sites cr The alias @sites could not be found.   Is this a way to get the same behavior that does not consist of typing my 300 alias in a config file ?
The hidden flaw in "singular they"—what to do about reflexive pronouns? We have  to a question about gender-neutral pronouns, in which he points to the "singular they" and its long history of use in English. (Note that he also advises against using it.) Example:     If someone wants to watch TV tonight, they'll have to do the dishes.   This avoids having to say "he or she" in mixed-gender situations. Okay, fine. I'm not going to get my panties in a bunch if people want to talk this way.  But it occurrs to me that "singular they"—infelicitous at the best of times—really falls apart when extended into the realm of reflexive pronouns:     If someone wants to watch TV tonight, they'll have to do the dishes all by themselves. [?]   That feels very wrong. The only alternative, if one paints oneself into that corner, is to flip it back to singular:     If someone wants to watch TV tonight, they'll have to do the dishes all by themself. [???]   That feels worse.  If I'm to state this as a question, I guess I would put it thus: How can use of a "singular they" truly be reconciled? Is it really as much of a linguistic dead end as it feels to me? I have a laptop with Ubuntu installed as the only OS. I also have a USB stick with a Windows 7 installation on it. I want to install Windows from the USB stick on my laptop but when I try to restart the laptop to get access to BIOS, I can't seem to find the command for it, its like it skips everything and just says Ubuntu and then takes me to the login screen.  How do I change the boot priority to USB in Ubuntu?

(Now working on SO, SF, and SU as well)  This is partially motivated by comments about how difficult it is to follow very active questions which have a lot of activity, and also the feedback on the API which was heavily dominated by "we need to know what happened in this time range" type responses.  It can only be accessed through URL hackery at the moment. To get to it, enter question URLs like so:  https://meta.stackexchange.com/posts/{id}/timeline  This is a chronological timeline of everything that happened on a question, including   initial question ask answers  revisions comments closure, deletion, reopen, undelete, etc votes   all based on when they happened in chronological order.  We are thinking about making this a fourth tab on the question, like so:  Timeline | Oldest | Newest | Votes  Please try it out and provide feedback. It is still a little rough, so we are not looking for highly detailed bug reports, just more general feedback.

To prove that if $n$ is odd, then $8 \mid n^2−1$, observe that as $n$ is odd either $n = 4k+1$ for some integer $k$ or $n=4k+3$ for some integer $k$. In the first case $n^2 -1=8(2k^2+k)$ and in the second case $n^2-1 = 8(2k^2 + 3k + 1)$.  Given an odd integer $a$, establish that $a^2 +(a+2)^2 +(a+4)^2 + 1$ is divisible by $12$. Solve by consideration of six cases. Proof conclusion to: Let m,n $\in$ $\mathbb{N}$ $\backslash$ $\{0\}$ . Prove that $s |\tau (m^{s}) - \tau(n^{s})$, where $\tau$ is a divisor function.   Hello, so I have a tiny question about the summarization of my proof.  I got to the point where I defined my $\tau$ divisor function and got them both $\tau(m^s)$= $\prod$ something +1 and $\tau(n^{s})$ = $\prod$ something +1.    I've noticed that the last terms of the polynomial are both one. Why is it with the +1 part, I can conclude with that:  s| $\tau(m^s)$ - $\tau(n^s)$.   The line for why that is, isn't quite clear. Is there a way to view the "printable view" (.xls) in Mac Numbers (version 2.3+) rather than Excel? I am using OS X (Maverick), Numbers (V3.0) and both Safari and Firefox.  When I save a Salesforce report using the "printable view" button, it saves it as an .xls file but when I open it in Numbers I get what looks like the XML code behind it, for example the first cell in the first three rows contains:  &lt;!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"&gt; &lt;html&gt; &lt;head&gt; Dealing with bundle/omnibus/list-of-questions question that consists of rather distinct questions I have looked at the various help pages but I couldn't find a clear guideline for the following issue: often enough someone will ask in the same post (i.e. in the same SE-question) a whole bunch of questions (in the plain English sense of the word), which while may be about the same topic are nevertheless sufficiently distinct that each may require several paragraphs of text to answer adequately.   I can see an upside for leaving related questions grouped together from the asker's perspective: "there's a thread (on SE) answering all my questions about topic T!" On the other hand, from the perspective of organizing questions by having a clear heading/title for each (actual) question and so forth, i.e. from the perspective of SE being a fairly structured database of Q&amp;As instead of being a more like a collection of forum threads "I'm confused about topic T", the omnibus question-list approach seems clearly sub-optimal.  The omnibus approach also makes the issue of accepting answers (and perhaps reviewing such actions) difficult: if two different users give replies to different parts/sub-sets of the question-list, which one is the most adequate one? Even upvoting all partial answers seems iffy because it actually penalizes the user(s) who provides(s) the most complete answer to the question-list: since a user can only give at most one upvote to another user's answer, if user X provides answers to A &amp; B in the same SE-answer, he can only get at most one upvote from user Y, whereas if these were two different SE-answers, he could get two upvotes from user Y.  So, given the above problems, which I think are real enough, is there anything in the SE system addressing list-of-questions question splitting?
