Since the last update it has been impossible to hide the most visited sites. I don't know if it's some temporary sick joke by the chrome team but I need to remove it.  I have tried changing my home to something other website, this works for when you first launch chrome but not for opening news tabs.
I don’t like the behavior of the new tab page in Google Chrome 29+. How can I restore the old behavior?  The new tab page (if you have Google set as the default search engine) now shows the Google logo (or, apparently, the doodle of the day if there is one), a search box, and a few recently visited websites. It also added an Apps button to my favorites bar, seemingly the only way to access my apps page, which has easy access to things I use regularly (Calendar, Gmail, Docs, G+, Facebook, Feedly, Google News, Netflix, Play Music, Pandora, Drive, Keep, etc.) I don’t like this behavior. I actually don’t mind having the logo of the day and search box, but I want my apps linked to on my new tab page.  Is there any way to get the old behavior back? I checked the settings and it doesn’t seem like it’s possible to set chrome://apps to be the new tab page (which would restore the old behavior) or to configure the new new tab page to display apps instead of recently visited sites.
I have updated from Windows 7 Ultimate x64 to Windows 10 Pro x64 using Media Creation Tool.  After some weeks when I'm clicking on the start button nothing happens and the whole status bar becomes unresponsive. After trying to restart explorer.exe from Task Manager explorer.exe fails to initialize. It just shows the start button, Cortana and the search bar, TaskViewer (if that's how it is called) and the Action Centre button.  Any ideas?  I tried running:   sfc /scannow and no errors were found chkdsk /f and no errors were found   A full system restart seems to do the trick but after some time like a few hours it stops responding again.  My configuration:   CPU is Intel i5 4690K OC-d to 4.5Ghz GPU is AMD Radeon HD 7750 Saphire 1Gb GDDR5 Edition   EDIT: After some GOOGLE SEARCHING if i try to run from Task Manager C:\Windows i can actually open a window. The start bar isn't responding though and there are still no desktop icons or wallpaper. I try to color the page numbers of my table of contents.  I'm using the package hyperref along with the options :  \hypersetup{   colorlinks,   linkcolor=wine-stain % custom color }      Here's the output :       The numbers remain black..  What should I do so the numbers become the same color as defined for the sections ?  I tried to \color{wine-stain}{\tableofcontents} but still that doesn't work since "Contents" is also colorized and the subsection numbers are remaining black. After taking a statistics course and then trying to help fellow students, I noticed one subject that inspires much head-desk banging is interpreting the results of statistical hypothesis tests.  It seems that students easily learn how to perform the calculations required by a given test but get hung up on interpreting the results.  Many computerized tools report test results in terms of "p values" or "t values".  How would you explain the following points to college students taking their first course in statistics:   What does a "p-value" mean in relation to the hypothesis being tested?  Are there cases when one should be looking for a high p-value or a low p-value? What is the relationship between a p-value and a t-value? How do the definitions of "irreducible" and "prime" elements differ? How do I get adequate depth of field in macro photography? I have been messing around with some Macro Photography using the techniques (and a reversal ring) described in a  by @ My main issue is that I am having a hard time getting the subject into focus. There are times when the center is blurred and the outside is in focus or the center in focus and the outside out of focus. What are ways to get as much of the subject in focus?   I am using a Nikon D5100, I have a 18-55mm kit lens but I find the 55-200mm lens easier to use for shooting. Let  $f:X\times Y\to \mathbb{R}$. I could not come up with an example that satisfies $$\sup_{y\in Y}\inf_{x\in X}f(x,y)&lt;\inf_{x\in X}\sup_{y\in Y}f(x,y).$$ Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! MySQL: How to retrieve a random row or multiple random rows? Problem: Let $X$ and $Y$ be independent and suppose that each has a $\text{Uniform}(0,1)$ distribution. Let $Z = \min\{X, Y\}$. Find the density $f_Z(z)$ for $Z$. Hint: It might be easier to first find $\mathbb{P}(Z &gt; z)$.  Attempted Solution:  Given that $X, Y \sim \text{Uniform}(0,1)$, how do we not just have the following?  $$ f_Z(t) = f_X(t) = f_Y(t) = \begin{cases} 1 &amp; \text{if } 0 \le t \le 1 \\                                           0 &amp; \text{otherwise}                             \end{cases} $$  Of course I'm highly suspicious of this answer because it's not making use of the fact that $X$ and $Y$ are independent, nor is it making use of the provided hint. Is copper piping required within a certain distance from a water heater? I have read that National Code requires you to use copper for 18 inches from your water heater.  How can I do this when everything existing is PEX?   I need to replace my existing low boy water heater next to my kitchen sink.  It was installed by the builder ten years ago. All the pipe in the house is PEX.  The existing water heater is connected using PEX as well.    The supply line comes directly thru the wall to the HW Heater. There is no space to run 18 inches of copper! The heater is under the kitchen counter, and the countertop is directly over it. Only about an inch clearance. Can't restart nginx, bind() failed (98: Address already in use) "Dangling Participles" My case here is that I was writing something for school, and my teacher explained an error which I really can't see. She referred to articles about &quot;dangling participles&quot;, which was previously unknown to me. I find it hard to relate the examples I've found about it to my situation. So this is a text I've written and the bold part is where the problem arises: (You could read only the bold part if you please)  Wandering, and lost in his thoughts, there is a deep despair occupying the mind of this man. He is barely aware of his surroundings, except for those few moments when the loud blissful voices break through the protective barriers, developed by his immense sadness and grave frustration, into his mind. ”How can they all possibly be so happy?” he thinks to himself. Staring blindly, with his head low, as he walks in a slow pace, whispering ”Mary, Mary, my Mary,” over and over again. Yesterday was her funeral. She had passed away from a severe type of cancer, at a relatively young age. It was his wife. They had been together since high school and were greatly attached to each other. Having spent nearly half his life by her side, we cannot but imagine his grief. Indeed, he could hardly picture a life without her. So, alone he roams in the midst of all the seemingly incessant cheering and noises, drowned by his sorrow.  Her comments on that part was:  we is slightly out of place here – see my comment below These few sentences are about him and his emotions, so ‘we’ seems out of place. If the sentence starts: ‘Having spent nearly half his life by her side’, the reader expects it to continue: ‘he’. After all we have not spent half our lives by her side.  Is she right? If so, could anyone try to explain why? UTF8 to/from wide char conversion in STL Is it possible to convert UTF8 string in a std::string to std::wstring and vice versa in a platform independent manner? In a Windows application I would use MultiByteToWideChar and WideCharToMultiByte. However, the code is compiled for multiple OSes and I'm limited to standard C++ library.

I have a 64-bit (amd64 a.k.a. x86_64) Debian or Ubuntu installation. I need to run 32-bit (i386/i686) programs occasionally, or to compile programs for a 32-bit system. How can I do this with a minimum of fuss?  Bonus: what if I want to run or test with an older or newer release of the distribution? Line of Bones to Travel and Conform to Curve (Train or snake following path) I've searched google extensively on this. Can't seem to find an answer.   I know about spline IK, which is wonderful for conforming a row of bones to a path. But combining the armature object with a follow path modifier causes the point of origin to move, but the bones themselves stick to the beginning of curve.   Ultimately my goal is to make a creature like a snake or centipede follow a curve path, thus animating it fairly realistically ... I have heard several times that some mathematician has given another and more rigorous for an established theorem, but I don't know what does it really mean and what differences makes it to be more 'rigorous'. My understanding of a proof is that a proof is some explanation to convincing others that a statement is true. If some proof is not rigorous, does it mean that while the proof is acceptable for many but it is not for everybody? If so, the proof is not correct since it going to be rejected by some people and it is not a proof at all. Or, does rigorous mean it uses more advanced tools? If so, why not any alternative (but simpler) proof is also acceptable as rigorous (which is more 'valuable' as well since it's simpler!)?   Saying those limited insight of mine, my questions are:   $1-$ What does rigorous proof mean, in general definition?  $2-$ In order to understand your answers, as an example I am re-writing three of the proofs for the compactness of the torus. Which of the following proofs are most rigorous, 'normal' and least rigorous; and why so?    Theorem: The torus $T^2$ is compact.  First proof: The torus is homeomorphic to the product space $S^1 \times S^1$. The circle $S^1$ is compact. Therefore the torus is the product of two compact spaces, and thus it is compact.   Second proof: The torus $T$ is the subspace of $\mathbb{R}^3$ obtained by rotating a circle about the $z$-axis. The torus is closed since given any point in its complement, there is an open ball of sufficiently small radius centered at that point and disjoint from the torus. Also, the torus is bounded since it is contained in the ball of radius $4$ centered at the origin. Since the torus is closed and bounded in $\mathbb{R}^3$, it is compact.   Third proof: The torus is homeomorphic to a space obtained as a quotient  space of the square by identifying opposite edges. The square is a closed and  bounded subset of $\mathbb{R}^3$ and therefore is compact. Furthermore, a quotient map on the square is a continuous function, and the image of a compact space under a continuous function is compact. Therefore the torus is compact.
