Brackets in if condition: why am I getting syntax errors without whitespace?

I've been playing the heck out of this game for the past few days, and I noticed some players had some nice shiny golden guns.  What conditions do I need to fulfill in order to unlock these weapons? (Are the they tied to the story mode, Amiibo, etc.)? Large braces for specifying values of variables by condition How do I produce a conditional expression with large brackets? For example: X = 0 if a=1, 1 otherwise, with a large left bracket and specifying each condition in a line? Partial Sums of Geometric Series This may be a simple question, but I was slightly confused.  I was looking at the second line $S_n(x)=1-x^{n+1}/(1-x)$.  I was confused how they derived this.  I know the infinite sum of a geometric series is $1/(1-x)$.  I just can't figure out how the partial sums, $S_n(x)$, have $1-x^{n+1}$ on the numerator.  How was this derived?  Thank you.     Example 5.20.   The geometric series   $$     \sum_{n=0}^\infty x^n   = 1 + x + x^2 + x^3 + \dotsb $$   has partial sums   $$     S_n(x)   = \sum_{k=0}^n x^k   = \frac{1 - x^{n+1}}{1 - x} \cdotp $$   Thus, $S_n(x) \to 1/(1-x)$ as $n \to \infty$ if $|x| &lt; 1$ and diverges if $|x| \geq 1$, meaning that   $$     \sum_{n=0}^\infty x^n   = \frac{1}{1-x}   \qquad   \text{pointwise on $(-1,1)$}. $$   (Original image .) How to not count blank pages in frontmatter of two-sided document Modified pattern does not see the pattern color option I'm using python in QGIS. I have a layer of polygons (its a result of some earlier dissolving and has no overlapping polygons but some holes and islands in holes etc). I want to build a new layer which contains one polygon representing a bbox of the first layer with each polygon cut from it.  Essentially I want to "invert" the layer I have so that where the was polygon, now there is not, and where there was not polygon now there is. All inside a bounding box of the original layer.  I can build a bbox easily and I tried to "subtract" the polygon layer from my new bbox polygon layer but the process slows to a stop and then crashes my PC. Here's the algorythm  processing.runalg("qgis.difference","path/to/polygon.shp","path/to/bbox.shp","path/to/result.shp")   I dont care about attributes (obviously). I just need to cut one set of polygons from one larger polygon.  It seems so simple, I wish I could find a simple command or script to acheive this. As stated at the top I'm looking for a solution in python in QGIS. Why multiple PTR records in DNS is not recommended? I   that using multiple PTR records in a DNS configuration is not recommended.   However, the reasons are often vague, or not so obvious, naming:    "it can cause problems",  "can trigger bugs in programs expecting a single answer" : it's the software's problem then, isn't it?! "can make DNS answer packet too large" : isn't this fixed with ?   Are these good reasons? Do you know of any other (good) reasons? All this kinda looks like a "legacy fear"...

Anyone have any idea? Can an inanimate thing lift Mjolnir?

Finding parenthesis via regular expression When I take the pth root, the bottom of the p comes very close to the \sqrt symbol.  In the New Century Schoolbook font (which I am using), the p actually intersects the \sqrt symbol, which looks even more terrible.  Is there a clean way to fix this?  \documentclass{article} \usepackage{fouriernc} % use the New Century Schoolbook font \begin{document} When I write $a^{(1/p)}$ as $\sqrt[p]{a}$, the bottom of the $p$ touches the top of the root symbol, which looks ugly. Even when the root symbol is larger, such as with $\sqrt[p]{\frac{1}{n}}$, it still looks bad (since the tail of the p almost hits that line). \end{document} Seeking QGIS tutorials and web resources?

Programs never open in foreground How can I make programs open in the foreground? Nautilus will open in the background, Remmina (the remote desktop program) also opens in the background. I have to click on the icon in the Launcher for it to come to the foreground. I would think any program that is invoked by any means would come to front, as it opens. It seems if one program invokes another, it will be in the background. If I click on any icons in the Launcher though, it will actually open in the foreground.
