I'm not too sure what is going on here, but sometimes a particular file in my repository will change the case of its name. e.g.,: before: File.h after: file.h I don't really care why this is happening, but this causes git to think it is a new file, and then I have to go and change the file name back. Can you just make git ignore case changes? [edit] I suspect it is Visual Studio doing something weird with that particular file, because it seems to happen most often when I open and save it after changes. I don't have any way to fix bugs in VS however, but git should be a bit more capable I hope. Derivative of function with 2 variables EEVEE and Cycles render lighting differences I get different lightning render with the same scene camera setup.  Cycles render (both experimental and supported feature set) gets weaker lightning and needs more energy.  How can I get the same lightning and reflection setup with EEVEE and Cycles? What's the difference between the simple past tense and the present perfect? The simple past tense indicates that an activity or situation began   and ended at a particular time in the past.      The present perfect expresses the idea that something happened (or   never happened) before now, at an unspecified time in the past.The   exact time it happened is not important. It also expresses the   repetition of an activity before now. The exact time of each   repetition is not important.   Even though I understand the explanation above, I can't figure out: If the present perfect states the idea that something happened in the past, why not use the simple past?  For example, would you please explain the following sentence to tell the difference between these two tenses?         The plane crashed there.    The plane has crashed there.      What is the biggest difference between them? Nautilus not opening up, showing GLib error My wife and I didn't know we're pregnant and in a weekend fun with friends we smoked a bit of weed - we don't usually smoke weed or cigarettes.  This is not something we're regulary doing as I said, but how bad to the fetus can it be ? Dominoes and induction, or how does induction work? I've never really understood why math induction is supposed to work.  You have these 3 steps:   Prove true for base case (n=0 or 1 or whatever) Assume true for n=k.  Call this the induction hypothesis. Prove true for n=k+1, somewhere using the induction hypothesis in your proof.   In my experience the proof is usually algebraic, and you just manipulate the problem until you get the induction hypothesis to appear.  If you can do that and it works out, then you say the proof holds.  Here's one I just worked out,  Show $\displaystyle\lim_{x\to\infty} \frac{(\ln x)^n}{x} = 0$  So you go:   Use L'Hospital's rule. $\displaystyle\lim_{x\to\infty} \frac{\ln x}{x} = 0$. Since that's $\displaystyle\lim_{x\to\infty} \frac{1}{x} = 0$. Assume true for $n=k$. $\displaystyle\lim_{x\to\infty} \frac{(\ln x)^k}{x} = 0$. Prove true for $n=k+1$.  You get $\displaystyle\lim_{x\to\infty} \frac{(\ln x)^{k+1}}{x} = 0.$   Use L'Hospital again: $\displaystyle\lim_{x\to\infty} \frac{(k+1)(\ln x)^{k}}{x} = 0$.  Then you see the induction hypothesis appear, and you can say this is equal to $0$.  What I'm not comfortable with is this idea that you can just assume something to be true ($n=k$), then based on that assumption, form a proof for $n=k+1$ case.  I don't see how you can use something you've assumed to be true to prove something else to be true. How to echo a bang! I tried to create a script by echo'ing the contents into a file, instead of opening it with a editor  echo -e "#!/bin/bash \n /usr/bin/command args"  &gt; .scripts/command   The output:     bash: !/bin/bash: event not found   I've isolated this strange behavior to the .  $ echo ! !    $ echo "!" bash: !: event not found  $ echo \#! #!  $ echo \#!/bin/bash bash: !/bin/bash: event not found    Why is bang causing this?   What are these "events" that bash refers to?     How do I get past this problem and print "#!/bin/bash" to the screen or my file? What is a deterministic method for evaluating a sensible buffer pool size? I'm trying to come up with a sane way to understand if the max server memory (mb) setting is appropriate (either should be lower, or higher, or stay the way it is).  I am aware that max server memory (mb) should always be low enough to leave room for the operating system itself, etc.    The environment I'm looking at has several hundred servers; I need a reliable formula I can use to determine if the present size of the buffer pool is appropriate since RAM is costed per GB allocated to each server.  The entire environment is virtualized, and "physical" RAM allocated to a VM can easily be changed up or down.  I have a particular SQL Server Instance I'm looking at now with a PLE of 1,100,052 seconds, which equates to 12.7 days (the amount of time the server has been up).  The server has a max server memory setting of 2560MB (2.5GB), of which only 1380MB (1.3GB) is actually committed.    I've read several items including one by Jonathan Keheyias () and another by Paul Randal (), and several others.  Jonathan advocates monitoring for a PLE below 300 per 4GB of buffer pool as being too low.  For the SQL Server Instance above, 300 * (2.5 / 4) = 187 results in a really really low target PLE below 300.  This instance has 290GB of SQL Server data (not including log files), and is only used for integration testing.  Assuming the last 12 days is representative of typical usage for this server, I'd say the max server memory (mb) setting could be lowered.  At the other end of the scale, I have another integration-test server with a PLE of 294, that has a max server memory (mb) setting of only 1GB.  This server has only 224MB of SQL Server data not including logs, and is running some BizFlow databases.  This server might benefit from a higher max server memory (mb) setting.  I'm thinking a good starting place for targets that might be assigned too much memory could include looking at:  SELECT      RamMB = physical_memory_in_bytes / 1048576     , BufferPoolCommittedMB = bpool_committed * 8192E0 / 1048576     , BufferPoolCommitTargetMB = bpool_commit_target * 8192E0 / 1048576     , PercentOfDesiredSizeMB = CONVERT(INT,(CONVERT(DECIMAL(18,2),bpool_committed)                              / bpool_commit_target) * 100) FROM sys.dm_os_sys_info;   If BufferPoolCommitTargetMB / BufferPoolCommittedMB is greater than 1, the server is not using the entire buffer pool.  If the machine in question also has a PLE of greater than "x" then it might be a good candidate for a decrease in max server memory (mb).  Since the Buffer Manager:Lazy writes/sec performance counter tracks the number of times SQLOS has written pages out to disk between checkpoints due to memory pressure, this might be another good thing to look at.  DECLARE @WaitTime DATETIME; SET @WaitTime = '00:00:15'; DECLARE @NumSeconds INT; SET @NumSeconds = DATEDIFF(SECOND, 0, @WaitTime); DECLARE @LazyWrites1 BIGINT; DECLARE @LazyWrites2 BIGINT;  SELECT @LazyWrites1 = cntr_value  FROM sys.dm_os_performance_counters dopc WHERE (         dopc.counter_name LIKE 'Lazy writes/sec%' COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS     )     AND dopc.object_name = 'MSSQL$' + CONVERT(VARCHAR(255),                SERVERPROPERTY('InstanceName')) + ':Buffer Manager';  WAITFOR DELAY @WaitTime;  SELECT @LazyWrites2 = cntr_value  FROM sys.dm_os_performance_counters dopc WHERE (         dopc.counter_name LIKE 'Lazy writes/sec%' COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS     )     AND dopc.object_name = 'MSSQL$' + CONVERT(VARCHAR(255),                SERVERPROPERTY('InstanceName')) + ':Buffer Manager';  SELECT LazyWritesPerSecond = (@LazyWrites2 - @LazyWrites1) / @NumSeconds;   The above code assumes the server is under load during the 15 seconds it takes to run, otherwise it will report 0; which might be a misleading false-negative.  Should I also look at PAGELATCHIO_* wait stats or some other wait type as an indicator of memory pressure, or lack thereof?   My question is, how can I reliably determine a "good" target value for PLE and max server memory (mb)? I have heard that one ought to turn the pedals at 90rpm. However, I do so much slower, especially while standing, and would like to understand the argument behind this number (or any other number). So:  What is the optimal cadence of a cyclist. Why? Does it depend on the terrain? Does it depend if the rider is sitting or standing upright? What are some possible consequences of deviating too much from the proposed number?  Possible duplicate of , but I didn't find there the "whys" except for "it will grind your knees." However, I find riding upright with slow cadance no more demanding than walking up a hill with a backpack.

What I'm trying to do is allow certain websites that we manage to send email using our exchange server smtp relay. I was told that I needed to created a receiver connector under Server Configuration>Hub Transport. After I created the receiver connector I added the following confi in which I added the website IP address in the "Receiver mail from remote servers ect" then unders Authentication I selected Externally Secured,TLS and under permissions I selected exchange servers.   I went to one of our websites and configure it with this configuration and I'm still getting "SMTP connect failed."  Can someone help me? or what is the  proper way to get this to work. Multiple websites are going to be using this exchanger server SMTP relay in a secure way. Can I add extension methods to an existing static class? I'm a fan of extension methods in C#, but haven't had any success adding an extension method to a static class, such as Console.  For example, if I want to add an extension to Console, called 'WriteBlueLine', so that I can go:  Console.WriteBlueLine("This text is blue");   I tried this by adding a local, public static method, with Console as a 'this' parameter... but no dice!      public static class Helpers {     public static void WriteBlueLine(this Console c, string text)     {         Console.ForegroundColor = ConsoleColor.Blue;         Console.WriteLine(text);         Console.ResetColor();     } }   This didn't add a 'WriteBlueLine' method to Console... am I doing it wrong? Or asking for the impossible? Unix separation of specific numbers from Column How can I separate specific numbers from a column and add it to a new file?
