How to change the plot starting point?
Can I adjust starting point when using ListPlot?
How can I stop the Devel module from generating blog/forum entries for Anonymous user? I'm using Devel's generate content feature to generate Blog/Forum entries for a site I'm working on and funny enough, I get to have a blog post by an anonymous user or forum topic by an anonymous user.  How can I stop Devel from doing this? I've only given Authenticated Users/ Administrators the permission to create a blog post or forum topic but still it generate for anonymous user. How can correct this? SQL Server 2012 and 2016 Standard:  If I put if-else logic in a stored procedure to execute one of two branches of code, depending on the value of a parameter, does the engine cache the latest version?  And if on the following execution, the value of the parameter changes, will it re-compile and re-cache the stored procedure, since a different branch of the code must be executed? (This query is quite expensive to compile.) A secretary with ____ good knowledge of English: "a" or no article? I'm trying to pass a test on "Articles exercise" as they call it . Reviewing my answers I got stuck about the two I posted on the picture below.  As I understand both words are uncountable (according to the ), so it looks like (or said for example ) I can't say a/an with an uncountable noun.  But this test says the opposite. Is there some trick? Or am I just dumb? Please help me to understand why I need to use "a" article in these cases?

Companion affinity change notification There's a problem statement:     For each $m \in \mathbb{N}$, we construct a sequence $m_0$, $m_1$, $m_2,\dots$ denoted $S_m$, recursively via $m_0=m$ and      $$m_{i+1} = m_i + \left\lfloor \sqrt{m_i} \right\rfloor$$      for all $i \ge 0$.   Here, $\lfloor x \rfloor$ is the floor of $x$, the greatest integer less than or equal to $x$.   Hence, we have $\left\lfloor \sqrt{10} \right\rfloor=3$ and $\left\lfloor \sqrt{29} \right\rfloor=5$.      Show that for each positive integer $m$, the sequence $S_m$ contains the square of some integer.   I'm pretty certain that this can be proved with induction. I am just not quite sure what to induct on. Examining examples shows that $S_m$ always results in a perfect square eventually, though I'm not sure how to prove it. How do I programmatically set the docstring? Prove that $f'(a)=\lim_{x\rightarrow a}f'(x)$. Let $f$ be a real-valued function continuous on $[a,b]$ and differentiable on $(a,b)$. Suppose that $\lim_{x\rightarrow a}f'(x)$ exists. Then, prove that $f$ is differentiable at $a$ and $f'(a)=\lim_{x\rightarrow a}f'(x)$.    It seems like an easy example, but a little bit tricky. I'm not sure which theorems should be used in here.    ==============================================================  Using @David Mitra's advice and @Pete L. Clark's notes I tried to solve this proof. I want to know my proof is correct or not.  By MVT, for $h&gt;0$ and $c_h \in (a,a+h)$ $$\frac{f(a+h)-f(a)}{h}=f'(c_h)$$ and $\lim_{h \rightarrow 0^+}c_h=a$.    Then $$\lim_{h \rightarrow 0^+}\frac{f(a+h)-f(a)}{h}=\lim_{h \rightarrow 0^+}f'(c_h)=\lim_{h \rightarrow 0^+}f'(a)$$   But that's enough? I think I should show something more, but don't know what it is. Renaming a bunch of files with date modified timestamp at the end of the filename? I'm building an HTML UI with some text elements, such as tab names, which look bad when selected. Unfortunately, it's very easy for a user to double-click a tab name, which selects it by default in many browsers.  I might be able to solve this with a JavaScript trick (I'd like to see those answers, too) -- but I'm really hoping there's something in CSS/HTML directly that works across all browsers. How to only append to clipboard (but not overwrite current data)? I have a rather large file, I need to copy the entire contents somewhere, but when I scroll down the page all the data I have selected becomes unselected. I could just copy and paste block by block, but I would find it much easier as there is a lot of data, to just be able to append the contents to the end of the current clipboard data. Is that possible?  That is so that I can have a keyboard shortcut which will enable me to copy this to the clipboard:  I am some nice new text.   When this is what is already there:  I am the old text.   And have it look like this when pasted:  I am the old text. I am some nice new text.   So there are 3 things that I would really like from this (I would have 3 separate keyboard shortcuts to do this):   Append the data to the end of the clipboard and have it put in a RETURN before it (as shown in the example above). Append the data to the end of the clipboard but have it so that there is not RETURN before it so that it would continue on on the same line initially. Have all this but so that the data is put at the beginning of the clipboard before all the data which is currently there.   I am running Ubuntu GNOME 16.04 with GNOME 3.20. How should I use a possessive apostrophe when a name is between commas? Cardinal of quotient rings of gaussian integers. It is known that $\mathbb{Z}[i]$ is a PID and that $\mathbb{Z}[i]/(a+bi)\mathbb{Z}[i]$ is finite for all $(a,b) \in \mathbb{Z}^2\backslash \{(0,0)\}$.  My question :      Is there any result on the cardinal of  $\mathbb{Z}[i]/(a+bi)\mathbb{Z}[i]$ ? Android design convention for saying a user needs to complete an action first? I've read the Android design conventions, but can't see a good solution.  I have a 3 tab mobile application. Tabs 2 and 3 need a selection made on screen 1 before they will work. The user enters at Screen 1, and the tab options are along the top. If they attempt to open screen 2 or 3, I would like to advise them to make a selection first. 'notifications' are the closest answer I can see from the Android design guidelines. Anybody have any other solutions?  Thanks  Andy Difference between a space and a "wave" symbol (tilde/"~")? runtime error: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.mysql.jdbc.Driver I have two identical folders, with same structure and contents like this:  folder_1   hello.txt   subfolder     byebye.txt  folder_2   hello.txt   subfolder     byebye.txt   if I compress them as tar.xz formats I get two different archives with two different file sizes (just a few bytes, but they're not identical).  $ cd folder_1 &amp;&amp; tar -Jcf archive.tar.xz * $ cd folder_2 &amp;&amp; tar -Jcf archive.tar.xz *   I get:  folder_1/archive.tar.xz != folder_2/archive.tar.xz   and of course if I md5sum or sha1sum them I'll get two different hashes  And that's my problem... I need to check if a provided archive is identical to the one I have in my storage. I cannot use hashing nor just check file sizes.  Using zip instead of tar.xz works as zip always produces identical achives from identical files. Why is this happening? Is there a way to prevent it? Ubuntu 18.10 Cosmic not starting GNOME session on bootup How do I get a Realtek RTL8723BE wireless card to work? I have installed Ubuntu 15.04 on my laptop with RTL8723BE Wi-fi card. But it is always disconnecting from network. I have tried echo "options rtl8723be fwlps=N ips=N" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/rtl8723be.conf but that didn't helped. What can I do to prevent the wifi from disconnecting? If I upgrade to kernel 4.X, will it help?  ~$ lspci -knn | grep Net -A2  09:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.
