If the post got negative votes and is deleted, does that negative vote after deletion count in the score of tags.(Reputation lost is credited back but what about the score of the tags involved in them)  .
My question is specifically for badges in a particular tag. I've heard that the rules have been changed.  How and when can one get bronze, silver and gold badges for a specific tag, say ? What are the new rules governing these badges?
Is there a limit to Rule 0? Rule Zero: All other rules can be changed by the GM.   I appreciate that there is a massive amount of work that goes into being a GM and the last thing that any GM wants or deserves is to have his players constantly questioning everything they do. However, a group I am currently playing with has been having a huge problem with a GM who has been using rule 0 to deny virtually every skill check and give all his custom enemies powers that have either no save or unbeatable DCs. Then, whenever he realizes he has made the fight unwinnable he brings in one of his level 60+ GMPCs to instantly win the fight, making us feel even more helpless.  We try to hold our tongues and not be the dreaded Rules Lawyer, but he keeps pulling out stuff so ridiculous that we have to question it… and every time we do we find that he is either misunderstanding or completely disregarding the rules. When this happens he always jumps immediately to rule 0. He probably cited rule 0 around 6 times in our last session (and we only had one combat encounter). Identify which OrgWideEmailAddress records are valid for current user I'd like to create a popup list on one of my Visualforce pages, for a user to select from a list of OrgWideEmailAddress records.  My goal is to limit the list to only those records that they're allowed to use.  I'm going to save the selection for use in later automatic emails.  Based on what I've read, I won't be able to send emails to certain OrgWideEmailAddresses:   The address hasn't been verified yet.  I don't see any fields in the schema that appear to show verification state. The address is only available to profiles that the user isn't a member of.  I don't see where the profile list is stored for each record.   Some of my problem could just be due to not understanding the standard objects so well, and perhaps there's a way to get at this through UserInfo, or by making my query on the User object which may have a child relationship to OrgWideEmailAddress since it's listed in the schema viewer of the Force.com IDE.  Here's the test code I'm working with:  for (OrgWideEmailAddress addr : [SELECT DisplayName, Address          FROM OrgWideEmailAddress ORDER BY DisplayName]) {     System.debug( addr.DisplayName + ' &lt;' + addr.Address + '&gt;'); }   I tried creating a new Messaging.SingleEmailMessage and then calling setOrgWideEmailAddressId() on it with each OrgWideEmailAddress Id, in hopes that invalid Ids would throw an exception, but to no avail.  My goal is to modify the test code to provide just the subset of records that the current user will be able to use. How exactly does curved space-time describe the force of gravity? How does lookup in $PATH work under the hood? There're way too many articles/resources on the web that teaches people HOW to set the environment variable PATH so that they can use the short hand of java or python etc instead of the absolute path in command line interface.  What I'm interested to know is that what's behind the scene when we type in the command and hit enter (similar to ).  Here is my guess:   read the command (parse/preprocess stdin to get the right arguments $@) command lookup command execution (program started, consume memory, stdout/stderr to shell) re-render the emulator by relevant environment variables (e.g. $PS#, $PROMPT, etc)   The part I want to figure out most is the command lookup. Obviously, the $PATH is consumed by some background function and separated by : / ;as delimiters, then what happened? Do we use a hash table (key: basename of the file, value: absolute dirname of the file) to store the binary files under those PATHs, or some other hooks?   NOTE: I originally thought it was hash table as I can use [ -z hash [command] ] to check if a command is available in current env, but when I use hash | grep python I get nothing from the output while which python works as anticipated. (I think the mechanism might be shell specific, but I want to get more insights into it.) How to prove $|a+b|^k \leq 2^{k-1} (|a|^k+|b|^k)$? Assume that you have any two real numbers $a$ and $b$, and $1\leq k &lt;\infty$, $k \in \mathbb{R}$.  How would you prove the inequality $|a+b|^k \leq 2^{k-1} (|a|^k+|b|^k)$? I have an UTF-8, polish text in .tex file. When I open it with my LEd (LaTeX editor), it shows ok (all characters can be seen). But when I try to compile it, I get error:  Package inputenc Error: Keyboard character used is undefined (inputenc) in inputencoding `utf8'.   I have to copy the text, cut it and paste to Notepad++, change (not convert!) encoding from UTF8 to ANSI (the polish characters will be missed and replaces with some random characters). Than copy it again and paste to LEd (in that editor, characters display bad also). But now I can compile my pdf and in it, the encoding is right again.  Is there a way to set encoding in the way I will see characters in LEd propertly and I will be able to compile it and I will get good characters in pdf?  The begging of my code:  \documentclass[12pt]{report} \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} \usepackage{graphicx} \usepackage{amsmath,amssymb,amsfonts} \usepackage{txfonts} This appears to be a css bug which (I think) has recently been introduced. It's most visible when viewing questions on Stack Exchange sites using mobile devices (the full site with responsiveness, not the mobile site) but can easily be reproduced by resizing a browser window on a question where the combined width of the tags is large. A couple of example questions show this behaviour:  On Meta Stack Overflow:   On Meta Stack Exchange:     Using the Meta Stack Overflow question to demonstrate (as the total width of the tags is larger):  At 1100px, the tags just about fit into their containing div.     At 800px, the tags appear on top of related questions:     At 450px, the tags are now wider than the view (the last tag is completely off the screen), causing scroll bars to appear:      This doesn't happen to lists of questions - the tags flow onto multiple lines:     Reproduced on: { Firefox 81, Chrome 84, Edge 84 } on Windows 10, and Chrome 85 on Android 11. How close would you have to be to the merger of two black holes, for the effects of gravitational waves to be detected without instruments? Assume two black holes in the most common size range, spiraling into each other until they merge. The event releases significant amounts of energy via gravitational waves, which warp the space-time.  If the distortion is powerful enough, it would get noticed in daily life, or perhaps even detected by the proprioceptors in the human body.  How close, as an order of magnitude estimate, would you have to be to the merger to perceive it like that, without any instrument? Show  $$\int_0^\infty \frac{\ln(x)}{e^x} = -\gamma$$ (gamma is Euler-Mascheroni constant).  Can anyone please prove this result?  Also  $$ \int_0^\infty \frac{\left( \ln(x) \right)^2}{e^x}\mathrm dx. $$ Calling 32bit Code from 64bit Process I have an application that we're trying to migrate to 64bit from 32bit.  It's .NET, compiled using the x64 flags.  However, we have a large number of DLLs written in FORTRAN 90 compiled for 32bit.  The functions in the FORTRAN DLLs are fairly simple:  you put data in, you pull data out; no state of any sort.  We also don't spend a lot of time there, a total of maybe 3%, but the calculation logic it performs is invaluable.  Can I somehow call the 32bit DLLs from 64bit code?  MSDN suggests that I can't, period.  I've done some simple hacking and verified this.  Everything throws an invalid entry point exception.  The only possible solution i've found so far is to create COM+ wrappers for all of the 32bit DLL functions and invoke COM from the 64bit process.  This seems like quite a headache.  We can also run the process in WoW emulation, but then the memory ceiling wouldn't be increased, capping at around 1.6gb.  Is there any other way to call the 32bit DLLs from a 64bit CLR process? Is there a reason why the pin diagram of an RJ-45 looks like this?    I understand that the orange pair is used for Tx and the green pair for Rx. Why is it that the orange pair are kept together while the green pair are separated?  What are the consequences of messing around with this order as long as it is the same at both the ends? I am working on a git repository with a master branch and another topic branch. I have switched to topic branch and modified a file. Now, if I switched to master branch that same file is shown as modified.   For example:  git status in git-build branch:  # On branch git-build # Changes to be committed: #   (use "git reset HEAD &lt;file&gt;..." to unstage) # #       modified:   cvsup_current #   Switch to master branch  [root@redbull builder_scripts (git-build)]# git co master M       builder_scripts/cvsup_current Switched to branch "master"   git status in master branch  [root@redbull builder_scripts (master)]# git status # On branch master # Changes to be committed: #   (use "git reset HEAD &lt;file&gt;..." to unstage) # #       modified:   cvsup_current #   Why is that the file is shown as modified in master branch even though it was modified in git-build branch?   My understanding was that the branches are independent of each other and when I change from one branch to another the changes do not "spill over" from one branch to another. So I am obviously missing some thing here.   Anyone got a clue stick? Massless charged particles Are there any massless (zero invariant mass) particles carrying electric charge?  If not, why not? Do we expect to see any or are they a theoretical impossibility? Tag suggestions are empty Can a lingering injury that requires "magical healing of 6th level or higher" be healed by an upcast lower-level spell? The  table in the DMG (p. 272) contains some wounds that can only be fixed by powerful healing magic, for instance:     Horrible Scar. You are disfigured to the extent that the wound cannot be easily concealed. You have disadvantage on Charisma (Persuasion) checks and advantage on Charisma (Intimidation) checks. Magical healing of 6th level or higher, such as heal and regenerate, removes the injury.   Can the necessary magical healing described here be a lower-level spell (such as cure wounds) that is upcast to 6th level? Or must it be a healing spell that is already 6th level or above before upcasting? MacOS 10.14 Mojave public beta public Wi-Fi problem I can not connect to a single public Wi-Fi hotspot that does not require a password but instead shows a pop-up window pointed to captive.apple.com  The pop-up opens blank with the error "The web page couldn't be loaded"  Any idea on how to fix this? How to decide on the correct number of clusters? We find the cluster centers and assign points to k different cluster bins in  which is a very well known algorithm and is found almost in every machine learning package on the net. But the missing and most important part in my opinion is the choice of a correct k. What is the best value for it? And, what is meant by best?  I use MATLAB for scientific computing where looking at silhouette plots is given as a way to decide on k . However, I would be more interested in Bayesian approaches. Any suggestions are appreciated. Can a Stack Exchange association bonus be lost? I recently hit 200 rep on Stack Overflow and got a big 100 rep bonus. Most know this as the 'association bonus'.  If I offer a bounty of 50 points and thereby lessen my 'base' score, do I lose that association bonus?  What if I offer a 150 point bounty and then work my way back to 200?
