It would often be convenient to see how the site is behaving for a user at any lower reputation (and without moderator privileges) without having to make a bunch of sockpuppets (which carry risks of accidentally doing things you shouldn't).  (Other privileges like gold tag privileges should also be able to be turned off.)  Presumably the only additional privilege over a user with the nominated reputation would have would be the ability to go back to normal.  I'd envisage something where you choose the reputation and click to remove any other privileges that could change, and that it would be replaced with a button that would undo that change.   Things like votes on posts would still count as votes by that user when they went back to being themselves, posts would still be posts, comments still comments and so on.
To be honest I find it hard to keep up with all the changes, and very frequently I have to go look at the privileges list to see whether a user (that I'm looking at, so I have his reputation value) has a certain privilege or not.  However, I still don't know what that user will actually see or how the site actually behaves for that user.  There's quite a number of posts here on meta about "where did this go" and "why can't I" and I can't really tell either way how a site behaves for a user with a reputation level of 2500.  So, I propose the following functionality:   For all users, be able to view the site as though you had less reputation than you actually have Bonus-feature: For all users, be able to use the site at that reputation level, unless some features of low-level users conflict with your actual functionality For mods, be able to view the site as a specific users (be able to see all he sees, exactly the way he sees it), but of course not pose as that user (ie. things I do would still be me)   The UI could be merged into the mod menu and the privileges menu:    (Note, I chose a user randomly, Olivier Pons is in no way related to this question or flags, or whatever that I know of.)
Is there a way to block a list of specific apps on macOS?  I have looked up solutions such as Cisdem, but there are some holes in the way it works that I don't like.   Unless you also block Activity Monitor, Terminal, and System Preferences, you can simply quit the Cisdem process or create a new user to get around it. You have to block Activity Monitor, Terminal, and System Preferences to make it work well.   I want to block an app from running or even being installed on my Mac. The app can be installed via the App Store and the web. Not sure how to go about this. Enabling Parental Controls won't work as Administrator privileges are needed.   The specific app I want to block is Apple Configurator.  Any ideas? I am studying for an exam and I am having trouble with this practice question:  In this question, we consider finite bit strings that do not contain $00$. Examples of such bitstrings are $0101010101$ and $11110111$. For any integer $n\geq 2$, let $B_n$ be the number of bitstrings of length $n$ that do not contain $00$.   Determine $B_2$ and $B_3$. Prove that $B_n = B_{n-1} + B_{n-2}$ for each $n\geq 4$. For each $n\geq 2$, express $B_n$ in terms of a Fibonacci number.   Any help is greatly appreciated Where are the NetworkManager logs? A previous poster on the regular forums (  ) said /var/log/daemon.log, but I don't seem to have such a file. Do I need to enable logging? apt-get update only for a specific repository When I add a PPA and I want to install some of its content, it is quite annoying to re-update all my apt list using apt-get update.  Is it instead possible to only sync the content of a given repository? Book about a town that is transported by an explosion into a freezing desert It starts with a town that was hit by a mysterious explosion which transports that town into a desert. The weather is cold and people burn coal but they soon run out and send out an expedition to look for signs of life - they navigate the desert for a couple of days and come across a glass dome covering a city. Apparently they have been transported far in the future.  And that's where I stopped reading and want to resume now. Don't remember the title or the author and it's at least 20 years old. We know $$i^2=-1 $$then why does this happen? $$ i^2 = \sqrt{-1}\times\sqrt{-1} $$ $$ =\sqrt{-1\times-1} $$ $$ =\sqrt{1} $$ $$ = 1 $$  EDIT: I see this has been dealt with before but at least with  I'm not making the fundamental mistake of assuming an incorrect definition of $i^2$. Why are there 2 packages for some applications (e.g. Chromium) in Ubuntu Software? When I search for Chromium in Ubuntu Software on Ubuntu 16.04, There are 2 options.    Which one should I select?    The same can be observed with , ,  etc. Immutability, Association and typing "need to do" vs "need do" Consider:  I need to do this. I need do this.  My English grammar knowledge tells me that &quot;need&quot; doesn't have the same status as the modal verbs &quot;may&quot;, &quot;can&quot;, &quot;should&quot; and what not. Hence the second usage where two verbs appear consecutively is incorrect. But yesterday, my native English speaking friends (Americans) told me that &quot;I need compute this.&quot; is a perfectly grammatical sentence, and one is simply omitting the &quot;to&quot;. How can this be? Is it a colloquial usage but grammatically incorrect, or is it grammatically correct? If it is grammatically correct, is it because &quot;need&quot; is a semi-modal verb? EDIT: in particular, is it okay to use &quot;need compute&quot; in a scientific paper? EDIT2: the exact phrase that raised the question was &quot;The advantage of this representation is that we need only compute sums and products&quot; After updating to 2.81, my previous works (done in 2.80) doesn't show colors Why does the /winsxs folder grow so large, and can it be made smaller? NORMAL label in top right of some applications I'm using an Android smartphone that I purchased Minecraft PE on; now I want to transfer my world to a iPhone. I have also purchased Minecraft PE on my iPhone. How do I log in to my personal Windows 10 using a FIDO2 key? I'd like to user a FIDO2 key to log into Windows 10. There are various guides explaining how to add a key to a Microsoft web account, or to Windows 10 sign in options, but neither result in showing up as an option when I try logging into Windows.  How can I configure windows to use my FIDO2 key to log in? consider the following subsets of complex plane $$\Omega_1=\left\{c\in\Bbb C:\begin{bmatrix}1&amp;c\\\bar c&amp;1\\ \end{bmatrix}\text{ is non-negative definite } \right\} $$  $$\Omega_2= \left\{c\in\Bbb C:         \begin{bmatrix}         1 &amp; c &amp; c \\         \bar c &amp; 1 &amp; c \\         \bar c &amp; \bar c &amp; 1 \\         \end{bmatrix} \text{ is non-negative definite } \right\}$$  Let $$\bar D=\{z\in\Bbb C:|z|\le1\}$$ Then 1) $\Omega_1=\bar D,\Omega_2=\bar D$  2). $\Omega_1\neq\bar D, \Omega_2=\bar D$  3). $\Omega_1=\bar D, \Omega_2\neq\bar D$  4). $\Omega_1\neq\bar D, \Omega_2\neq\bar D$  How to proceed? Thank you. Do indexes work with "IN" clause What is numeric promotion? Okay the scenario I'm thinking of is as follows:   I control a ,  and 3 untapped lands (2 swamps, 1 Island to be perdantic). In my opponents turn he casts a burn spell to kill my duskmantle.   I activate his first ability in response.   The way I am hoping the following interactions will go is:   Duskmantles ability will hit the stack at the top and resolve The burn spell resolves dealing its damage to Duskmantle The burn spell card hits the graveyard and triggers the infinite loop for duskmantle and mindcrank killing my opponent Duskmantle perishes   Is this the way that the stack would pan out? Do I win in this situation regardless of the stack being correct or not above? (I am not fully familiar with how the stack really works in magic) You can see the cards from my deck . A question about special relativity theory We have two sets: set No.1 and set No.2 as in this picture:   The observer is fixed to set No.1 . He sees set No.1 motionless and observes set No. 2 approaching with velocity 100,000 m/s.   Each set has one lamp and two, so called, touchers. Each set is designed so that if both touchers are touched simultaneously the lamp is turned on otherwise it remains off.  Set No. 2 is approaching set No. 1 so that each toucher in each set will be touched twice by the touchers of the other set.  The observer on set No. 1 observes the distance between touchers in each set 10 meters. He thinks the lamps on set No. 1 will be turned on because touchers in it will be touched simultaneously.  My question: Will the lamp on set No. 2 be turned on? How if an electrical current flowing from one toucher in a set to the other proves simultaneous touching? How do I disable auto-maximizing of newly launched windows in GNOME?
