How to achieve a gold tag badge I am currently following a gold tag badge for javascript, it's description says earn at least 1000 total score for at least 200 non community wiki answers in the tag, what I understand from this is I need to earn 1000 reputation by answering atleast 200 questions which are tagged as JavaScript and which are non community wiki.  I am like really earning a lot of reputation daily but my tag score is constant to 581/1000 from past week, but my reputation gain is more then 1000 in the past week (mostly by answering Javascript based questions only).  I think SO Community should bring more clarity on how to earn this bade exactly.  I have a few doubts though:   Non community wiki posts are those which are asked by a normal user and are not marked as community wiki. I think i need to answer these questions and if i will get upvotes my score for gold badge will increase (Which is not increasing at all). Should javascript be one of the tag on that question or it should be the only badge on that question?
"Next tag badge" panel score and answers counter discrepancy On the "Next tag badge" panel of  for C# tag, I see:      92/100 score   88/20 answers     But, when I open the "Select your next badge" panel, there's:     97/100 score   90/20 answers       I'm not sure which one is correct. But I believe that both displays should show the same counts.  The discrepancy is not due to a caching, I've noticed it the first time many weeks ago.  For these particular current counts: I have a single C# answer with 3 votes only in the last 5 days, last upvoted 13 hours ago (2015-10-12 19:30:05Z). So it should not cause the 5 votes and 2 answers difference.  I believe that the counters on the "Select your next badge" are correct and the counters on the "Next tag badge" are wrong, as I have:     Asked 1 non-wiki question with a total score of 6. Gave 90 non-wiki answers with a total score of 97.       Today (2015-10-16), the "Next tag badge" got bumped to 97/100. But "Select your next badge" shows 98/100 already.
Solve $y’ = \frac{2-xy^3}{3x^2y^2}$ using Bernoulli form Solve, by bringing the equation to Bernoulli form: $$ y’ = \frac{2-xy^3}{3x^2y^2} $$  Therefore we want to bring it to a form like: $$ y’ + p(x)y = q(x)y^n $$ So working with the equation i get: $$ y’ - \frac{2}{3x^2y^2} = -\frac{xy^3}{3x^2y^2} = -\frac{y}{3x} $$ I don’t see how to get to Bernoulli equation from here... Proof a $(2n-1)$-compact manifold I have no idea how prove that $$\{(z_0,\ldots,z_n)\in\mathbb{C}^{n+1} \quad| \quad z_0^d+z_1^2\ldots+z_n^2=0, \quad |z_0|^2+|z_1|^2\ldots+|z_n|^2=2\}$$ is a $(2n-1)$-compact manifold.  How give the charts. For $n=1$ and $d=2$ not distinguish which 1- manifdold is? Aristotle's Categories with academic commentary I am using Windows 10. I am trying to install 1 open source software.  In the readme.txt of that software, it says it requires Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable. I found that my Windows already has Visual Studio 2012 Redistributable installed.  After I install the open source software, it seems that it is working, even though I haven't installed Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable.  Do I need to install Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable if my Windows already has Visual Studio 2012 Redistributable? Show/Hide hidden files without restarting finder? I came to understand that the following is the way to toggle the visibility of hidden files:  defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles YES # replace YES with NO to hide hidden files killall -HUP Finder /System/Library/CoreServices/Finder.app   Is there a way to show/hide hidden files without killing the Finder? Got any tips or tricks for Terminal in Mac OS X? One tip or trick per answer.  My favorite is   open .   Opens the folder you're currently browsing in Finder. You can also pass URLs, images, documents or else to open.  If you specify a program name with -a you can pass the URL, image, document or folder to that program instead, e.g. open -a Preview image.png, overriding the default program set for the filetype.  Please don't post duplicates. Search in the question like this: inquestion:this ls -l  Mac OS X specific answers only. What happens to global variables declared in a DLL? Let's say I write a DLL in C++, and declare a global object of a class with a non-trivial destructor.  Will the destructor be called when the DLL is unloaded? How does the drift velocity of electrons in a conductor depend on the temperature? How does the drift velocity of electrons in a conductor depend on the temperature?  I have two contradicting views for this.    First, we can say that increasing the temperature of the conductor will increase the kinetic energy of the electrons. Hence, their drift velocity should increase with increase in temperature.  Or, from the relation $v_d = \frac{eE}{m}T$ ($T$ is the relaxation time) we can say that the drift velocity is directly proportional to the relaxation time. Increasing the temperature will obviously decrease the relaxation time - as collisions will become more frequent - and thus decrease the drift velocity. Hence, an increase in the temperature will cause a decrease in the drift velocity.   So which view is correct? In Delphi, is TDataSet thread safe? I'd like to be able to open a TDataSet asynchronously in its own thread so that the main VCL thread can continue until that's done, and then have the main VCL thread read from that TDataSet afterwards. I've done some experimenting and have gotten into some very weird situations, so I'm wondering if anyone has done this before.  I've seen some sample apps where a TDataSet is created in a separate thread, it's opened and then data is read from it, but that's all done in the separate thread. I'm wondering if it's safe to read from the TDataSet from the main VCL thread after the other thread opens the data source.  I'm doing Win32 programming in Delphi 7, using TmySQLQuery from  as my TDataSet descendant. Assigning integer to finite CW complex such that following hold. Proof of Laplace transform of real number powers: $\mathcal{L} \{ t^n \} = \frac{n!}{s^{n + 1}}$ NVMe PCIe x4 SSD on M.2 PCIe x2 slot? i'm about to get a new SSD for my PC, and before spending the money i have some doubts about my decision i would like to clarify First, my mobo is a B450 Aorus Pro Wifi, it has 2 M.2 slots, one of them full length (22110) compatible with PCIe 3.0 x4 and the other one standard length (2280) and support only for PCIe 3.0 x2 About the drive, i'm aiming for a 1tb XPG SX8200 Pro , which is a PCIe 3.0x4 SSD My first M.2 slot is already taken by the main SSD, which i use for the OS and other stuff, i can't really use it. Will a PCIe x4 SSD work on a PCIe x2 slot? How much performance will be lost if it does? Will it be worth it? Why do we need to set swap space as twice big as our physical memory? When we want to setup a linux system, there is a common a suggestion to set the swap space  twice as big as your physical memory. I want to know why do we need this, and how it is this suggestion come to be? We have two PHP5 objects and would like to merge the content of one into the second. There are no notion of subclasses between them so the solutions described in the following topic cannot apply.    //We have this: $objectA-&gt;a; $objectA-&gt;b; $objectB-&gt;c; $objectB-&gt;d;  //We want the easiest way to get: $objectC-&gt;a; $objectC-&gt;b; $objectC-&gt;c; $objectC-&gt;d;   Remarks:   These are objects, not classes. The objects contain quite a lot of fields so a foreach would be quite slow. So far we consider transforming objects A and B into arrays then merging them using array_merge() before re-transforming into an object but we can't say we are proud if this. I have a server running with the timezone set to UTC. It seemed like that was generally a good practice (please correct me if I'm wrong).  Anyhow, one of the servers I connect to, in order to scp files, is running on EDT and stores files that I need to copy in the format /path/to/filename/data20120913  I looked at trying to rsync files using something like find's -mtime -1 flag for files modified in the last day, but I didn't have any luck.  I don't mind just using scp to copy the current day's file, but as of right now there is a 4-hour window where running date +%Y%m%d will give a different day on each server and that bugs me a little.  Looking through man date I see that I can have the time output as UTC, but I don't see a way to have it output as another timezone like EDT  I suppose I could also use something like the GNU date extension date -d 20100909 +%s to get the date in seconds from the epoch, apply a manual 4 * 60 * 60 second calculation, and see about rendering that as a date - but then when daylight time kicks in it will still be an hour off.  Is there a simpler way to output the date in a YYYYMMDD format for EDT on a server that is set to UTC ? Google Docs thumbnails do not update, can I force an update? Recommended shutter speed for action sports? What shutter speed do professional sports photographers typically use for action sports like football and basketball? I know that it does consider ' ' as NULL, but that doesn't do much to tell me why this is the case.  As I understand the SQL specifications, ' ' is not the same as NULL -- one is a valid datum, and the other is indicating the absence of that same information.  Feel free to speculate, but please indicate if that's the case.  If there's anyone from Oracle who can comment on it, that'd be fantastic! Port forwarding with UFW I realize UFW is mainly just for enabling/disabling access on particular ports, but I'm trying to forward one port to another. I want any connection to port 1724 to be forwarded to 1723.   The file /etc/default/ufw already has DEFAULT_FORWARD_POLICY="ACCEPT". And I believe I need to uncomment net/ipv4/ip_forward=1 in /etc/ufw/sysctl.conf. Finally I need to edit /etc/ufw/before.rules to add an iptables rule.   And here is where I get lost because I can't find any documentation for this file. Where do I add the rule? And how exactly?  In particular:   On exactly which line do I add the rule? Do I put anything before or after it?
