I trying to recreate a material by looking at an image that appears to show "nested" nodes. I tried every stock node but was unable to produce this setup.   These two "nodes" are used as components in this one, in the section named "marble pattern":
What kind of node is this?    Image from this
I have an area which is divided into several zones the borders of which I have defined as separate layers.  The layers are defined by sql queries on a postgis table of line segments joined with a table that says which segments are part of which zone boundaries.  What I want to do is produce a set of maps where each map is a zoom to layer extent for each zone and which has standard header, legend and scale (which will preferably vary with the zone but could be fixed across all maps).  My first attempt was to get a new composer for each map -- that worked but was rather tedious.  Next I tried producing one map and printing it and then deleting the map frame and going into qgis to zoom to the next layer extent and make the boundary visible then hopping back into the composer to load it in.  This worked more or less.  Map was fine, legend was OK because it was the same for all the maps and the zone name was easy to edit but the scale needed to be deleted and set up again for each map.  Next I looked at Atlas Generation.  The manual seems to assume that you know how it works and all you need is a reminder about the details (like so many software manuals ;)  It seems to assume that you have something that you are iterating over but I can't see how to make it work -- there is nothing to iterate over to get the layers.  Any suggestions welcome!!  :)  Russell How do you set a default value for a MySQL Datetime column?  In SQL Server it's getdate(). What is the equivalant for MySQL? I'm using MySQL 5.x if that is a factor. How to split a file according to a column (including header) and rename the generated files? I have a .txt that can be exemplified like this:  NAME | CODE name1 | 001 name2 | 001 name3 | 002 name4 | 003 name5 | 003 name6 | 003   I need to write a script to split this file according to the CODE column, so in this case I'd get this:  file 1: NAME | CODE name1 | 001 name2 | 001  file 2: NAME | CODE name3 | 002  file 3: NAME | CODE name4 | 003 name5 | 003 name6 | 003   According to some research, using awk would work:  $ awk -F, '{print &gt; $2".txt"}' inputfile   The thing is, I also need to include the header to the first line and I need the file names to be different. Instead of 001.txt, for example, I need the file name to be something like FILE_$FILENAME_IDK.txt. If $f'$ is differentiable at $a$ then $f'$ is continuous at $(a-\delta,a+\delta)$ Supremum of a product measurable function... I'm having trouble with \includegraphics I'm using MacTeX BGE everything white in playmode When I press P to play everything shows up white in the BGE. Shading is set to GLSL, and the objects are UV mapped and textured. It seems that vertex paint is overriding the material for the object even though it is unchecked in the material options.   Shading is set to GLSL   Objects have a texture applied I've got a stylesheet that will not, for whatever reason, apply list-style-type to a UL element. I'm using YUI's Grid CSS with their reset-fonts-grid.css file, which I know strips that out as part of the CSS reset.  After calling YUI, I call the stylesheet for the website and in there have a block for UL:  ul {list-style-type: disc;}   I've also tried setting it via list-style but get the same result. I know that the above CSS block is getting read as if I add things like padding or margins those do get applied. The style-type isn't showing up in either Firefox or IE.  The only other CSS I've applied to UL's are in a #nav div but that CSS doesn't touch the list-style-type, it uses the reset that YUI provided, and YUI and the site style sheet are the only two CSS sheets that are called.  I've also got FCKEditor on the admin side of the site and that editor does show the bullet styles so I know it has to be something with the CSS that isn't being filtered by FCKEditor. I've seen a lot of games in the LCS and All-Star, and they sometimes changed bot and top lanes.   When is this a good practice? What do you gain from doing this? Should I do this to avoid counters or if my solo laner has more sustain than theirs? String concatenation: concat() vs "+" operator Assuming String a and b:  a += b a = a.concat(b)   Under the hood, are they the same thing?  Here is concat decompiled as reference. I'd like to be able to decompile the + operator as well to see what that does.  public String concat(String s) {      int i = s.length();     if (i == 0) {         return this;     }     else {         char ac[] = new char[count + i];         getChars(0, count, ac, 0);         s.getChars(0, i, ac, count);         return new String(0, count + i, ac);     } } Automatically switch gpu graphics driver when gaming I have installed Ubuntu GNOME 15.10. I installed the nvidia tested proprietary driver and then I restarted. Afterr that I selected as primary GPU the Intel driver for normal use. However, when I enter a steam game(Portal) the graphics is bad so In order to play normal I have to switch manually to the nvidia driver again and reboot again. After the game I have to manually select as primary driver the Intel one and reboot again. It is so boring. QUESTION: How to automatically switch gpu graphics driver when I enter a game or something that needs more GPU? I have a friend who is playing with me on a server we've created. Unfortunately, he is on a  Mac whereas I am on a Windows machine. I told him that I should be able to compile and send a .minecraft folder to him so that we can both play. Unfortunately, he can't find his .minecraft folder where it is supposed to be. Is it hidden and how can I unhide it? Examples where $H\ne \mathrm{Aut}(E/E^H)$ In a particular textbook, the work function of a metal (in the context of the photoelectric effect) is defined as:     the minimum amount of energy necessary to remove a free electron from the surface of the metal   This sounds similar to ionisation energy, which is:     the amount of energy required to remove an electron from an atom or molecule in the gaseous state   These two energies are generally different. For instance, Copper has a work function of about 4.7eV but has a higher ionisation energy of about 746kJ mol-1 or 7.7eV.  I've sort of figured it's because the work function deals with free electrons whilst ionisation is done with a valence electron still bound within the atom. Is the difference due to the energy required to overcome the attraction of the positive nucleus? What does the decay constant mean? In my curriculum, the  is "the probability of decay per unit time"  To me, this seems non-sensical, as the decay constant can be greater than one, which would imply that a particle has a probability of decaying in a time span that is greater than 1.  Can someone explain this? Does the order of declaration matter in Java/C#? Horizontal splash distance of water Do MOSFETs have a diode built into them? I have noticed that a MOSFET symbol has a little diode in it (or at least what looks like a diode). Does this mean I do not have to worry about using a diode in a circuit that runs a motor using one? I would have used a diode in order to prevent reverse voltage from turning the motor by hand. In the book I'm reading at the moment () it says that if you don't declare a default constructor for a class, the compiler supplies one for you, which "zeroes out each data member". I've experimented with this, and I'm not seeing any zeroing -out behaviour. I also can't find anything that mentions this on Google. Is this just an error or a quirk of a specific compiler? How to compare a program's version in a shell script? Suppose I want to compare gcc version to see whether the system has the minimum version installed or not.  To check the gcc version, I executed the following  gcc --version | head -n1 | cut -d" " -f4   The output was  4.8.5   So, I wrote a simple if statement to check this version against some other value  if [ "$(gcc --version | head -n1 | cut -d" " -f4)" -lt 5.0.0 ]; then     echo "Less than 5.0.0" else     echo "Greater than 5.0.0" fi   But it throws an error:  [: integer expression expected: 4.8.5   I understood my mistake that I was using strings to compare and the -lt requires integer. So, is there any other way to compare the versions?
