I bought the new MBP 2016 with Touch Bar. So far I know that Touch Bar is not available for Ubuntu users, but it is fine. I think this technology will be available in a couple of months. Does anyone tried to install Ubuntu on dual-booting on this computer? If so, does this technology work fine or not (and why)?  EDIT :   Knowing that I'm not talking about the Touch Bar directly. My question is rather related to the compatibility of Ubuntu with this new device. I'd like someone could explicit his/her experience so far. So, if a person has succeeded to install it, I'd like how he did it and if it works well.  Thanks in advance!
I'm considering buying the MacBook Pro (Late 2016) with Touch Bar. As I'm a programmer and a Ubuntu user, could anyone tell me if the Touch Bar is compatible with Ubuntu?
Does it just vanish into space leaving nothing behind or does it expel some material?    Also, talking more about black holes, as far as I understand the term "temperature", it is defined by the amount of kinetic energy of the particles of a body and from what I have read, there are no particles inside a black hole, I know that you can find the temperature of a black hole by analyzing its Hawking radiation but I cant really understand how the term "temperature" can be applied to a black hole. Does it mean that whatever is that it is inside a black hole has kinetic energy? Have physicist already experienced the death of any regular black hole (by regular I mean space-sized black holes not micro ones created in labs)? Also, where is the Hawking radiation form? Because if it is released by the black hole I bet it must have formed outside the event horizon, but how exactly? How can I remove the BOM from a UTF-8 file? I have a file in UTF-8 encoding with BOM and want to remove the BOM. Are there any linux command-line tools to remove the BOM from the file?  $ file test.xml test.xml:  XML 1.0 document, UTF-8 Unicode (with BOM) text, with very long lines If I just render the default cube it will look like this:   It is rendered with color depth 16. I can see there are artefacts consisting of visible "line strokes" on some of the cube faces.  The bands seems to not go darker and darker, but alternates between light and dark, or is my eye fooled?  Why?  Edit  Here comes a gradient created by gimp without banding, using the same computer: I was getting the usual 4-8mbps in 12.04 when copying files via usb sticks. However after upgrading to 12.10, I only get 200-300kbps when I try to perform the same operation.   I have tried different usb sticks (which work flawlessly on Windows 7) and still experience the same issue. I experienced the same issue sometime ago on 11.10 but everything was normal when I upgraded to 12.04 so it might be a kernel issue.  Here's the output of dmseg |tail:      mysterio@mysterio-HP-Pavilion-dv6700-Notebook-PC:~$ dmesg |tail   [  871.023093] sdb: sdb1  [  871.026909] sd 5:0:0:0: [sdb] No Caching mode page present  [  871.026920] sd 5:0:0:0: [sdb] Assuming drive cache: write through  [  871.026927] sd 5:0:0:0: [sdb] Attached SCSI removable disk  [ 1036.226206] ISO 9660 Extensions: Microsoft Joliet Level 3  [ 1036.233561] ISO 9660 Extensions: RRIP_1991A  [ 1086.342973] ISO 9660 Extensions: Microsoft Joliet Level 3  [ 1086.343010] ISO 9660 Extensions: RRIP_1991A  [ 1173.971357] ISO 9660 Extensions: Microsoft Joliet Level 3  [ 1173.971441] ISO 9660 Extensions: RRIP_1991A   I have updated my system with the latest updates. What could be wrong? When visiting my profile on the mobile app, my hat scrolls with the page:    It doesn't stay linked to my icon at the top. I'm on an iPhone 6+ running iOS 9.2 and version 1.4.1 of the SE app. Why does the series $\sum_{n=1}^\infty\frac1n$ not converge? Spacing around \left and \right Why does the addition of a \left and \right introduces an extra space around the formula? Specifically, why do $\cos(\theta)$ and $\cos\left(\theta\right)$ render differently?  Is there a way to use resizable delimiters without introducing the spurious spaces?  Why did Knuth design it like this?  Edit: This occurs too, if \operatorname{MYOP} or some other operator, like \lim, \min etc. is used. (This edit is basically to make it easier to find this answer.) Difference between standard beta and unstandard beta distributions? How do I disable this:    after taking screenshot? Computing the Galois group of polynomials $x^n-a \in \mathbb{Q}[x]$ I have some problems with this exercise. I don't know if it can be done. Consider the polynomial $ x^n - a \in \mathbb{Q} $ Can I compute the Galois group of this over $\mathbb{Q}$? Maybe having a nice "basis.  The splitting field is given by $\mathbb{Q}(\zeta_n,\alpha)$ , where $\zeta_n$ is a primitive root of unity , and $\alpha$ is some number such that $\alpha^n = a $. Well first of all, I want a $\underline{"good basis"}$ for the splitting field. In the sense that the minimal polynomials, of the adjoined elements, are different (in this case the computation of the galois group is very simple).  For example one easy case, it's when $a&gt;0$, then $(a)^{\frac{1}{n}} \in \mathbb{R}$ , so clearly the minimal polynomial of $(a)^{\frac{1}{n}} , \zeta_n$ are distincs, and I'm done. If $n$ is odd then , it's also easy, since one root it's also real, for example $x^3-3 $, the real root is $ \root 3 \of { - 3}  =  - \root 3 \of 3  $ , so I can consider the splitting field as $\mathbb{Q}(-\root 3 \of 3 , \zeta_3 )=\mathbb{Q}(\root 3 \of 3 , \zeta_3 )$. The difficult case is when $n$ is even and $a&lt;0$ , for example  $x^8+20$ or $x^4+20$ in some cases as in the second, there are particular cases since there exist algorithms for the Galois group of quartics, but in general. It can be done?  $\underline{Remark}$ I'm searching a $\underline{"good basis"}$ for the splitting field. In the sense that the minimal polynomials, of the adjoined elements, are different since in this case the computation of the galois group is very simple. Prove that $(n+1)^{n-1}<n^n$ How would one prove that  $$(n+1)^{n-1}&lt;n^n \ \forall n&gt;1$$  I have tried several methods such as induction. Why is the decay of a neutral rho meson into two neutral pions forbidden? Left-pad printf with spaces How can I pad a string with spaces on the left when using printf?  For example, I want to print "Hello" with 40 spaces preceding it.  Also, the string I want to print consists of multiple lines.  Do I need to print each line separately?  EDIT: Just to be clear, I want exactly 40 spaces printed before every line. Where can I find documentation on how to use the \nolinebreak command?  The  at  never makes mention of \nolinebreak  The  states that \nolinebreak is implemented by multiplying its input parameter penalty by (-1) and passing the result into \nopagebreak.       I haven't found documentation on how to use the command. I'm trying to work out this shoulder deformation. I can't figure it out.  Is there anything wrong in my armature? Should i add bones and keep more control of my mesh or use shape keys? Here is my file blend. $$\lim_{n \to\infty} \frac{n!}{n^n}$$  I have a question: is it valid to use Stirling's Formula to prove convergence of the sequence? how much space does a given package, and dependencies, cost? Is it possible to modify the title of the message box the confirm() function opens in JavaScript?   I could create a modal popup box, but I would like to do this as minimalistic as possible. I would like to do something like this:  confirm("This is the content of the message box", "Modified title");   The default title in Internet Explorer is "Windows Internet Explorer" and in Firefox it's "[JavaScript-program]." Not very informative. Though I can understand from a browser security stand point that you shouldn't be able to do this. In Adobe Photoshop I am able to select multiple layers at once with Shift+Click.  How can I do that in GIMP? My multimeter is rated to 600V.  How can I readily (and safely) use it to measure higher voltages?
