Can't join a different stackexchange site There are a number of Stack Exchange sister sites. I have a hard time signing up with them. I'm presented with three options:   Sign up using Google Sign up using Facebook Sign up using Stack Exchange   I have a Stack Exchange ID, so that's what I want to use.  On filling in my existing name, email, and password (confirmed), I am presented with the puzzling message:     We already have an account with that email address.   If the email is correct, try recovering your account.   Huh? Of course I have an account with that email address. That's what I'm trying to use!  I'm using the right email, the right password. Why do I have to enter any of that? I'm logged into three SE sites right now! Why do I have to type my password twice, and above all, why do I have to "recover my account", which I never lost?  My workaround has been to "recover my account". That means changing my password with all of my existing SE accounts.
Is it possible to make signing up gracefully fail over to logging in if the SE OpenID account exists? For most OpenID options, it doesn't much matter if you pick the "Sign up" versus the "Log in" tab on the sign in page.  Whether you have an account on the site or not, it just does the right thing. Not so if you are using the Stack Exchange OpenID service:    (Bonus bug: the reCAPTCHA box is a bit too wide for the expanded "Sign up using Stack Exchange" container.)  Since we already have collected an email and password (well, two copies of the password), could we not check to see if they match and automagically log the user into their SE OpenID?  If not, the error needs to be reworded somehow to explain that while the email might have been used to create a Stack Exchange OpenID, that doesn't mean they can't log in with that OpenID to create an account.  Counterintuitively, they need to use the  even if they've never had an account there before.  The  link adds to the confusion since it sends an email that leads off with:     Someone requested an account recovery on The Workplace Stack Exchange for jericson@stackexchange.com, but we don't have an account on this site that matches this email address.   (For people with accounts on other sites and/or Stack Exchange OpenIDs, this paragraph is followed by other instructions that would probably work if followed. By that time I imagine many users are at wit's end.)  To simplify: If a user already has a Stack Exchange OpenID (likely because they have an account on another site) they should be able to use the  to sign up for an account or there should be clear instructions on what to do next if they fail.
How do I get a thread ID from an arbitrary pthread_t? I have a pthread_t, and I'd like to change its CPU affinity. The problem is that I'm using glibc 2.3.2, which doesn't have . That's OK, though, because pthread_setaffinity_np() is itself a wrapper of , which can be called by passing a thread ID instead of a process ID to set the affinity for an arbitrary thread.  BUT ... The thread id that sched_setaffinity can work with is an OS thread id, the kind that you can get from the  system call. This is different from the opaque type pthread_t, and gettid() will only return the thread-id of the current thread. I need to be able to set the CPU affinity of an arbitrary thread.  Unfortunately, I can't access the pthread's private parts, which would let me steal the thread id by casting a pthread_t to a struct pthread *. All the better, I guess, since relying on private implementations is asking for even more trouble.  I've also been reading up on the  function, however this returns a "unique integral identifier" -- which I don't believe is in any way shape or form equivalent to an OS thread id.  Hence, the question: How can I get a thread ID from an arbitrary pthread_t? Non-static variable cannot be referenced from a static context Is there a proper way to handle large combat engagements with party members involved? For instance, a party of four player characters raise a force of 30 militia men to go take a bandit camp. When they get there the bandit camp has 40 men, and none of them notable.  For the sake of simplicity, both the 30 men and the 40 bandits are armed with long swords, and wearing leather armor.   Is there a proper way to handle combat between the 30 man militia and the 40 bandits while also incorporating our four player characters? If no "proper" way exists, is there a generally accepted "best" way? how to create a roster sheet in sharepoint 2010 This is about training management, when an employee requests for training, it goes to approval workflow and once approved, it is like the employee is enrolled.  Once it is approved I want a roster sheet to be created for that course for all the employees registered and who got approved.   The report I need to generate has to be of the enrolled users of one course and one particular session  If I give copy listitem as approved then different courses would come together in the list  The format for the report How to custom (split in two)? Ibidem Usage of Some: Does "some" require a plural or singular verb? Highlight elements in the matrix Whether the players killed a mage and got his spellbook(s) or they met with a nice wizard who let him or her learn a spell from his spellbook, can a player prepare a spell from a spellbook that isn't his or hers?  I'm asking because the PHB p. 114 says:     [...] Preparing a new list of wizard spells requires time spent studying your spellbook and memorizing the incantations and gestures you must make to cast the spell: at least 1 minute per spell level for each spell on your list.    emphasis mine   Further, the block on the left as a Copying a Spell into the Book ("the" Book as in "your" Book, since it appears in the block titled Your Spellbook), which explains how you can copy a spell from one book to another, assuming the book is from a stranger, it cost more and takes more time. It actually says:     [...] deciphering the unique system of notation used by the system of notation of the wizard who wrote it. [...]   It continues saying that you have to learn the various parts of the spell (verbose, material, gesture.)  This makes it sounds like a wizard would have a really hard time to prepare a spell from another's spellbook. Is that the case? I forgot my username, how do I get it back? How do I adjust the Clock Indicator format? Can I connect to SQL Server using Windows Authentication from Java EE webapp? Memory Usage of SQL Server SQL Server instance on my server is using almost full memory available in my Physical Server. Say if i am having 8GB of RAM than SQL Server is using 7.8 GB of RAM from system. I also have read articles and also read many similar questions regarding same on this forum and i understand that memory is reserved and it is using memory.  But i have 2 same servers and 2 SQL Servers, why this is happening on a single SQL Instance not on other. Also when i run DBCC MemoryStatus than it is showing up...  VM Reserved 8282008 VM Committed 537936   so from this we know that SQL reserved whole 8GB memory, but why this VM Committed keeps increasing. What i understand is VM Committed is:      VM Committed: This value shows the overall amount of VAS that SQL Server has committed. VAS that is committed has been associated with physical memory.   So this is the memory SQL Server has committed (from this i understand that physical memory actually SQL Server is using at instance).  So like to know the reason behind this ever increasing VM Committed memory on my server and not on another. Thanks in Advance. Why does the atmosphere rotate along with the earth? I was reading somewhere about a really cheap way of travelling: using balloons to get ourselves away from the surface of the earth. The idea held that because the earth rotates, we should be able to land in a different place after some time. As we all know, this doesn't happen.  Someone said that the reason why this doesn't happen is because the atmosphere (air, clouds etc.) also revolves around the earth (with the same angular velocity as the earth's rotation). Since we are also part of the atmosphere, our position doesn't change relatively.  Well, I'm not convinced with that answer. Why does the atmosphere rotate along with earth?  Gravitational force is towards the centre of the earth, but I don't see how it's making the atmosphere rotate. What is the reasoning behind restricting the number of migration paths? On the religion and culture stackexchange sites, many, many users will initially ask a question in a place that's kind of off-topic there, but are fully on-board elsewhere.    Christianity.SE, for example, gets a lot of general philopsophical questions that would be better on Philosophy, historical questions that might be better on History.SE, and hermenutical questions that are better on BH.SE.  It is, however, unreasonable in my mind for a user with a question to be required to have domain expertise on which sub-site each has. Indeed, even amongst users with a high amount of knowledge, there can be disagreement.  Likewise, , but as just about every one of those is in beta, the user would have to be very saavy (or would have to find that post) in order to nail it every time.  That said, recommending that a question be moved is much harder than it needs to be.  I have seen business rule logic that says, for example,    migration paths only exist to graduated sites (ergo politics, money, history, and quantitative finance wouldn't qualify) migration paths seem to be limited to 5.   Anything not on a migration path requires a moderator (and not just a high rep user) to get involved.  So, what is the reasoning behind this?  Note, I'm not asking for a solution (although the obvious solution would be to allow migration paths to any established site, beta or not, i.e. a VTC as off topic b/c it belongs on another site should allow you to pick any other site) - I just want to understand the business purpose in restricting migration paths to a small, predefined number for everyone other than a mod. Lucia is gone. Just gone Skyrim problem here. I've finally found a house mod that will support a family (as in allow them to move there). I'm excited to install it, but it says that a new save game is highly recommended unless you haven't adopted any kids yet.   I recently adopted Lucia. I have two saves in my game, a quick and a full. I know that the full save has Lucia as adopted, but I'm not sure if the quick does. If it does not, then my reasoning is that I can install the mod and load that save, rather than having to work all the way back through eighteen levels.   And here's the problem. I loaded the quick save and searched for Lucia, in an attempt to see if she was adopted or not. She is nowhere to be found. She is not sitting under the tree in the middle of Whiterun, she is not in Breezehome, and she is not in the inn.   I tried to use console commands. both the moveto and placeatme commands do not work. I used both the refid and the baseid. Neither worked. I used help Lucia, thinking maybe the wiki was wrong on her ID. it gave me a different ID, which also didn't work. Every time, the console says either that it can't find the objectbaseid, or that the id is invalid.   This has led me to the conclusion that Lucia has been entirely erased from the game's memory, and I KNOW that hasn't happened. Can someone tell me what is going on?   Additional details: I am using a Breezehome overhaul mod. When I adopted Lucia, she moved in perfectly with no trouble though, so I can't really see how that would be the problem. LuaLaTeX, TeXLive 2016, standalone: undefined control sequence Nature of the quantum degeneracy pressure It is commonly known that it is the electron degeneracy pressure that prevents the collapse of a white dwarf into a neutron star, and it is not the electromagnetic force. However, it is also widely accepted that all the forces in the universe are just manifestations of the four elementary forces in the universe. So can the degeneracy pressure, caused due to Pauli's Exclusion principle, be shown to be due to one of these forces? I have read some other questions in SE , , and they do not answer my question fully.  In one of the links, the degeneracy pressure is described as an 'entropic force', but as far as I understand, all entropic forces can be explained by the underlying fundamental forces. If the degeneracy pressure is something that is fundamentally different from the other forces, why isn't it classified as a separate force?

I recently saw a question about a problem (or possible bug) with some product on Stack Overflow. At first, I wanted to suggest that the asker post his question to that product's support forum.  When searching for the URL of that forum, I noticed that the product developer closed its support forums and now advises users to post all their questions on Stack Overflow instead.  Is this within the intended use cases of Stack Overflow, or is this abuse?
