Is it possible to make the -init method private in Objective-C? I need to hide (make private) the -init method of my class in Objective-C.  How can I do that? Theme Image Style for image located in module directory Salesforce lightning get current users username How I would go about getting the current users username or first and last name?  I have been looking at this for the last couple of hours - I was just wondering how I would go about getting their name and then displaying it on the page.  For example the current user is 'John Smith' and in the lightning component I want to output John Smith's name like:     Welcome to our community John Smith! How to make DNS server propagate faster if you are a site owner? It's often the case that I want to change name servers because my site is messed up.  Well, it takes a very long time for the name server to propagate.  Is there something in DNS, or registrar or anything I can do to speed that up.  Flushing my dns server using  and it rarely works How to colorize an image as in the example? I have seen such an effect being used in many places however I haven't figured out how to replicate it via Photoshop.  I have tried desaturating the image, placing it under a layer of solid colour and then lowering the opacity of the colour. I have also tried a couple of blend modes, to no avail. The effect is nowhere near the same.  Can someone please tell me the effect used on these images? symmetric functions vs symmetric polynomials I am doing my thesis related with symmetric functions and representations.   It is for this reason that I am reading MacDonald's book Symmetric Functions and Hall Polynomials.  When reading chapter 1.2. The ring of symmetric functions, he also talks about symmetric polynomials. And he compares both notions and sometimes treats them as equivalent but sometimes not. Does anyone have a clearer explanation about what is the difference (if there are differences)?  So, what is the difference between symmetric functions and symmetric polynomials? Is there a general rule for determining the direction of tension force? Tension, for me, is a tricky thing.  After finishing a related chapter of my book and watching a video, I still can't get a hang of it.  Here is a situation:   My knowledge is that tension, just like normal force, happens in  just the same way, but with the difference of a string attached.  It is understandable that in the picture, the string attached to the hanging mass has a tension directed upward, because it's weight is directed downward. (Action and reaction)  But what intrigues me is that applying the same logic, the horizontal mass is being pulled to the right, it would have been understandable if the tension is directed to the left.   also Can I think of tension as the reaction force when you pull, and normal force when you push?  update If I was to think tension as a reaction force in the first picture for the horizontal mass, then can the frictional force be the action force? (Ehh, I don't think that makes sentence. Friction is always reaction) How to search a string in the list of answers added by me on Stack Overflow? I am able to view all the answers given by me and questions asked by me, but not able to search a string in them?  Currently I have no other choice than clicking each ques/ans link manually (very hectic) ? Overfull hbox using biblatex Last activity name still missing from migrated question Why is any pgr_* routing function taking forever based on OSM data in an pgrouting enabled DB Defining the Product of Ideals Creating a link using an 18 character ID I have an 18 character SFDC ID. I was under the impression that I should be able to create a link to that record using the following pattern: https://&lt;org server&gt;.salesforce.com/&lt;id&gt;  For example: https://na12.salesforce.com/00TU000000Nf5NP  That link works fine for me. However, when I try to link to the same object using the 18 character, case insensitive ID (ex. https://na12.salesforce.com/00tu000000nf5npmaz), I get the following error:     Insufficient Privileges      You do not have the level of access necessary to perform the operation   you requested. Please contact the owner of the record or your   administrator if access is necessary.   What exactly is the problem? If all I have is the 18 character ID, how can I create a link back to the correct SalesForce record? Is there any API function for shutting down Windows while installing any pending updates?

To be clear, I'm not doubting that homo sapiens and homo neanderthalensis did interbreed: of that much I'm convinced.   Within the past few years I've seen an upcropping of pop-sci articles discussing the interbreeding between pre-historic species of humans. In everything that I see in these articles, as well as in scientific literature (my college Bio textbook, among others), I see these different humans being referred to as separate species.   This conflicts with my understanding of a species. Given the following definition, wouldn't homo sapiens and homo neanderthalensis be the same species?     A species is often defined as the largest group of organisms where   two hybrids are capable of reproducing fertile offspring, typically   using sexual reproduction.      Is this definition incorrect?  Are the publications using "species" colloquially, as opposed to scientifically?  Is "species" still a poorly defined concept? (see )   Thanks! Why is compactness so important? I've read many times that 'compactness' is such an extremely important and useful concept, though it's still not very apparent why. The only theorems I've seen concerning it are the Heine-Borel theorem, and a proof continuous functions on R from closed subintervals of R are bounded. It seems like such a strange thing to define; why would the fact every open cover admits a finite refinement be so useful? Especially as stating "for every" open cover makes compactness a concept that must be very difficult thing to prove in general - what makes it worth the effort?  If it helps answering, I am about to enter my third year of my undergraduate degree, and came to wonder this upon preliminary reading of introductory topology, where I first found the definition of compactness. Should edits with only minor code improvements be accepted. As an example, I'm reviewing an edit that changes all double quotes to single quotes and renames a variable in some javascript. With the exception of the variable rename (which is not entirely necessary), the edit is frivolous. Should I accept on the merits of a debatable variable name change? Fighting a black hole: Could a strong spherical shell inside an event horizon resist falling in to the singularity? As a thought experiment imagine an incredibly strong spherical shell with a diameter a bit smaller than the event horizon of a particular large black hole.  The shell is split into two hemispheres, and the two hemispheres are released from either side of the black hole such that they will meet and join inside the event horizon, forming a stationary uniform shell around the singularity. Of course, we consider that the shell is flawless, and exactly centred around a stationary singularity - clearly this is an unstable equilibrium but we imagine it is possible.  Is is possible that the structural forces provided by such a shell could be strong enough to resist the extreme gravity conditions inside the event horizon, and hence avoid being sucked into the singularity?      (For the purposes of this question we can consider taking the shell to extreme levels of strength, e.g. consider that the shell is made from a theoretical maximally densely packed neutronium-like material that is strongly resistant to any further compression due to the Pauli exclusion principle).
