I don't understand the meaning of -y.  command:   apt-get install -y clickhouse-client &amp; sudo apt-get install -y passenger   There are many commands have -y.
I always see commands like this  apt-get -y install    What is the -y tag for and what is the difference between apt-get install with and without the -y tag?
There are many collectable flags throughout the game of Assassin's Creed and every time one is collected, you get a progress indicator (e.g., 33 of 100).  Is there any reason to collect these, other than bragging rights?  I recall getting all available flags in one particular town and never saw any special reward or secret revealed. I am using different operating systems on different machines on different locations. I am using a USB flash disk to keep my files (source codes etc.).  I am new to Mac OS X and now I realize there are lots of files created with a dot underscore ._ prefix.  Questions  Why are ._ files created?   What are their purpose?   How can I avoid them? Checking integrity of my server data bug with varargs and overloading? Is Design School a Requirement for Graphic Design? Is it required for people to go to design schools to become a Graphic Designer? I've heard many cases where they have started from scratch without previous education in design and are doing fine as freelancers/working in studios.  Would it be better to go to a design school to become a Graphic Designer? How much leverage would it give you if you went to one? How to evaluate $ \lim_{(x,y)\to(0,0)}\frac{y^2\sin^2x}{x^4+y^4} $ Career Change in to Testing I've around 10+ years of experience in Banking operations including  reconciliations, sales, customer services, asset management, and financial transaction QA.  Coming to academics I've done my PG in commerce (costing, auditing, banking, and statistics) also a diploma in project management, ISTQB foundation, Prince 2 foundation and ITIL foundation.    Can any one advise me if the testing role is ideal for me and how to start with it. Is there a way to show that $\sqrt{p_{n}} &lt; n$?  In , I show that $f_{2}(x)=\frac{x}{ln(x)} - \sqrt{x}$ is ascending, for $\forall x\geq e^{2}$. As a result, $\forall n \geq 3$ $$\frac{p_{n}}{ln(p_{n})} - \sqrt{p_{n}}\leq \frac{p_{n+1}}{ln(p_{n+1})} - \sqrt{p_{n+1}}$$ Also (and as a result), $\forall n \geq 3$ $$ \frac{p_{n}}{ln(p_{n})} - \sqrt{p_{n}} &gt; 0$$ Or $$ \frac{\pi (p_{n})}{p_{n}/ln(p_{n})} &lt; \frac{\pi (p_{n})}{\sqrt{p_{n}}}$$  According to  $$\displaystyle\smash{\lim_{n \to \infty }}\frac{\pi (p_{n})}{p_{n}/ln(p_{n})}=1$$ Or, $\forall \varepsilon &gt;0$, $\exists N(\varepsilon )$: $\forall n&gt;N(\varepsilon )$ $$1- \varepsilon &lt; \frac{\pi (p_{n})}{p_{n}/ln(p_{n})} &lt; 1+ \varepsilon$$ Or $$1- \varepsilon &lt; \frac{\pi (p_{n})}{p_{n}/ln(p_{n})} &lt; \frac{\pi (p_{n})}{\sqrt{p_{n}}}$$ As a result $\forall \varepsilon &gt;0$, $\exists N(\varepsilon )$: $\forall n&gt;N(\varepsilon )$ $$(1 - \varepsilon ) \cdot  \sqrt{p_{n}} &lt; \pi (p_{n}) = n$$  But this is not enough.  Interestingly,  is true iff function $f_{4}(x)=\pi (x) - \sqrt{x}$ is strictly ascending ($x &lt; y \Rightarrow f(x) &lt; f(y)$) for prime arguments.  If $f_{4}(p_{n}) &lt; f_{4}(p_{n+1})$ then $$\pi (p_{n}) - \sqrt{p_{n}} &lt; \pi (p_{n+1}) - \sqrt{p_{n+1}}$$ Or $$\sqrt{p_{n+1}} - \sqrt{p_{n}} &lt; \pi (p_{n+1}) - \pi (p_{n}) =1$$  And vice-versa, if $$\sqrt{p_{n+1}} - \sqrt{p_{n}} &lt; 1$$ Then $$-\sqrt{p_{n}} &lt; -\sqrt{p_{n+1}} + 1$$ Or $$\pi (p_{n})-\sqrt{p_{n}} &lt; \pi (p_{n}) + 1 -\sqrt{p_{n+1}} = \pi (p_{n+1}) -\sqrt{p_{n+1}}$$  So, if Andrica's conjecture is true then $\forall n \geq 3$ $$\pi (p_{n})-\sqrt{p_{n}} &gt; 0$$ Or $$\sqrt{p_{n}} &lt; \pi (p_{n})= n$$ How does a magnet work? I'm having trouble understanding how a  (not the  that is generated as a result but the material itself) work. The particles are aligned in a specific direction to give rise to force but I don't see how this alignment gives rise to "attraction" or force. Is the external micro SD card path the same for all devices? I am using a Samsung Tab 2.  There is a path: /mnt/external_sdcard/myfile. Here, I can save, read, or write my file to the external micro SD card.  I'm just wondering if this path is the same for all devices, or if it may be different. I read about Drupal behaviors today, and I tried writing the following code.  (function ($) {    Drupal.behaviors.mymodule = {     attach: function (context, settings) {       $('#mymodule_id', context).change(function () {         alert('Handler for .change() called.');       });     }   };  }(jQuery));    Is Drupal.behaviors.mymodule the namespace? What are the context and settings parameters passed to the Drupal behavior? Is this the equivalent of document.ready()?   Can I attach any number of functions?  Can I define JavaScript functions which will be called somewhere? How to sample from a discrete distribution? Assume I have a distribution governing the possible outcome from a single random variable X.  This is something like [0.1, 0.4, 0.2, 0.3] for X being a value of either 1, 2, 3, 4.  Is it possible to sample from this distribution, i.e. generate pseudo random numbers upon each of the possible outcomes given the probability of that outcome. So if I wanted to know what the probability of getting a 2 is, the sampling operation may return 0.34 or something like that.  The reason I ask is that I'm trying to implement an action selection policy for a reinforcement learning method based on a research paper. From what I gather from the paper, the author is able to sample the distribution by "mapping the uniform distribution U[0,1] through cumulative probability density functions obtained by adaptive numerical integration". From this he then samples the transition probabilities for each trial...  I would be grateful for any info on this...  Thanks in advance Are Stormtroopers paid or rewarded in any way for their service? Variables in batch file not being set when inside IF? I have two examples of very simple batch files:  Assigning a value to a variable:  @echo off set FOO=1 echo FOO: %FOO% pause echo on   Which, as expected, results in:  FOO: 1  Press any key to continue . . .   However, if I place the same two lines inside an IF NOT DEFINED block:  @echo off IF NOT DEFINED BAR (     set FOO=1     echo FOO: %FOO% ) pause echo on   This unexpectedly results in:  FOO:  Press any key to continue . . .   This shouldn't have anything to do with the IF, clearly the block is being executed.  If I define BAR above the if, only the text from the PAUSE command is displayed, as expected.    What gives?    Follow up question: Is there any way to enable delayed expansion without setlocal?   If I were to call this simple example batch file from inside another, the example sets FOO, but only LOCALLY.   For example:   testcaller.bat   @call test.bat  @echo FOO: %FOO%  @pause    test.bat   @setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion  @IF NOT DEFINED BAR (      @set FOO=1      @echo FOO: !FOO!  )    This displays:   FOO: 1  FOO:  Press any key to continue . . .    In this case, it appears that I have to enable delayed expansion in the CALLER, which may be a hassle. When I add LIMIT 1 to a MySQL query, does it stop the search after it finds 1 result (thus making it faster) or does it still fetch all of the results and truncate at the end? Status-* tags - moderator only? How can I mount the /system directory rewritable or read-only on my Android phone? What's the difference between Synchronized and Lock in my example? I want to subscribe to the newsletter on my work email address but still have everything else go to my normal SO email account. I don't have a way to set up a forwarding filter from my normal email account.  Any way I can do this? With me going it alone in development I only have limited resources at my disposal i.e one pc with which I develop and test the game. so I only know for certain my game works with that setup.  What options have I got in testing the game on the many different hardware/operating system combinations? Its a windows desktop game.
