Sort list of dictionaries by date in Python 3.4
How do I sort a list of dictionaries by a value of the dictionary?
When can we speak of collinearity In linear models we need to check if a relationship exists among the explanatory variables. If they correlate too much then there is collinearity (i.e., the variables partly explain each other). I am currently just looking at the pairwise correlation between each of the explanatory variables.  Question 1: What classifies as too much correlation? For example, is a Pearson correlation of 0.5 too much?  Question 2: Can we fully determine whether there is collinearity between two variables based on the correlation coefficient or does it depend on other factors?  Question 3: Does a graphical check of the scatterplot of the two variables add anything to what the correlation coefficient indicates? I am new to Ubuntu, but I believe I have Ubuntu 11.10 installed correctly.  I am trying to install Acroread using AdbeRdr9.4.6-1_i386linux_enu.deb that I downloaded from the Adobe web site.  How do I do this? Block quote with big quotation marks Plot Summary/Details  A human spacecraft lands on an alien world.  I'm not sure if they are exploring, or touched down for repairs. The world is a foreboding place, and home to a vicious predator that somewhat resembles a panther, or other big terrestrial cat. The creature is quite cunning, and ambushes several crewmen when they are scouting the planet or doing some other activity that would have them isolated and away from the ship. It sticks in my mind the creature is very strong, and able to bite through the heavy spacesuits the men wear with ease.  The creature has an unusual nutritional requirement of some sort. As such, it doesn't eat its victims, but somehow drains them of a particular element or chemical substance. I can't remember what it is, though I think it had something to do with the skeletal structure of the men. Calcium, maybe?  I have only very general recollections of how the story ends/is resolved. The humans become aware of the threat, and I believe they ultimately slay the beast. I can't recall anything more specific than that, unfortunately.  Timeframe of Publication  This one is old, I'm sure of that. I can remember the writing style and some of the descriptions being very "old school" - spacemen, rocketship, that sort of thing. Almost like something you'd see in an old sci-fi movie serial, to use a film analogy. If I had to guess, I'd say 1950's at the latest. My PS3 controllers have died and are not charging I know that I can use  to make cross-references and hyperlinks clickable.  That makes the clickable areas outlined in fluorescent green, however.  How can I make the green boxes go away? The title says it all. I want to resize windows with an right click while holding the alt key, instead of the new default alt+middle click.  I have found no way to enable this behaviour in 13.04. The gconf-Key suggested in this , doesn't seem to exist any longer. I want to share my computer screen over LAN, without an internet connection. How can I do it?  There is different software like:   LogMeIn Team Viewer etc.    But these require an internet connection. TikZ: remove margin, padding, border around nodes containing images I want to create a simple figure where images are connected with arrows. Here is what I did:  \begin{tikzpicture} \node[](A) {\includegraphics[width=0.2\textwidth]{a}}; \node[right=1mm of A](B) {\includegraphics[width=0.2\textwidth]{b}}; \draw[-&gt;] (A) to (B); \end{tikzpicture}     But I want the arrow to start and end right at the images with no space between. How can I do that? How to prove that a limit does not exist? Let $x \in \mathbb{R}$ and let $\lfloor y\rfloor$ be the largest integer less than or equal to $x$. $$ f(x) = \frac{1}{x} - \left\lfloor\frac{1}{x}\right\rfloor$$ How does one prove that the $ \lim_{x\to 0} f(x)$ does not exist by using a Epsilon Delta proof? There is a hint given that you can use a proof by contradiction. Evalute $ \lim_{n\rightarrow \infty}\sum^{n}_{k=0}\frac{\binom{n}{k}}{n^k(k+3)} $ Change Error Message on FBA Login page On the default FBA Login Page, when a user enters wrong username/password an error message gets displayed:      "The server could not sign you in. Make sure your Username and Password are correct, and then try again.".    I want to change this error message to simple text      "Invalid Username and Password".    How can I achieve this? How can I change font rendering to sub-pixel BGR ordering? This question exists as it fills a specific criterion.  While you are encouraged to help maintain its answers, please understand that "big list" questions are not generally allowed on Ask Ubuntu and will likely be closed per the . More information on the .   What kind of desktop environments or shells are there for Ubuntu users to install?  Please list a desktop environment or shell for each:   a description on why you like or suggest it (features, performance, etc.). a good screenshot, preferably of it running on Ubuntu and showing off some of its features. the minimal requirement for it to be usable, If there's any setting to lower it's requirement (Like kde's low-fat profile); how to enable the said setting some instructions on how to set it up if in the repositories, please provide a software centre link I can't see anything - Teams banner and cookie toaster obscure my whole screen There have been  for a while, but this is ridiculous. It reminds me of , but this time it's network-wide.   The banner must be scrolled past (or dismissed) on every page unless both first-party JavaScript and first-party cookies are enabled. If first-party JavaScript is enabled, and the banner is visible, the rest of the page jumps up and down every so often.  Under certain circumstances (not quite sure what they are, yet – a direct link to an answer, maybe? I'm seeing it ) the entire page jumps up and down a line every few seconds even when the banner is off-screen.   The cookie banner keeps coming back unless both third-party JavaScript  are enabled (and  is solved). The cookie box occludes the “Learn more about Teams” link in the banner (with default Firefox window sizes) and the Job / Teams link in the sidebar.  As it stands,  – a site for hobbyists and researchers, whose audience is not very likely to purchase Teams – is much, much harder to use, for no benefit that I can see. Can you roll back this change, please? Ephemeral error message: "cryptsetup: unknown fstype, bad password or options?" I activated disk encryption for my Ubuntu 15.10 64bit installation and get every time after entering the (correct) password the error message:  cryptsetup: unknown fstype, bad password or options?  But after few seconds (without any further interaction) this error message is replaced by the expected message:  cryptsetup: sda5_crypt set up successfully  That's it and the system is started.  Any suggestions what could be the problem? Is it merely cosmetic or serious? Prevent Photos app on OSX from launching when plugging in device Morphing only a part of a full path in tikz This might be a tikz newbie question but I have some trouble solving this.  I want to draw and fill a rectangular path where path morphing should be applied only to the upper side of the shape, more specifically I want to have an upper part with random steps. The rest of the path (left, lower and right sides) should just be straight lines. The shape should be closed and filled with one color.   My problem is that I cannot figure out how to apply the morphing only to the upper side and I suppose I cannot break up the path into different subpaths since I want to fill the final shape. Is there a way to use the morphing only on a part of the full path? Another problem is that the cycle command does not really close the shape at the upper left corner.  I tried to find a solution in the tikz manual but there was nothing that really helped me.  Here is some example code:  \documentclass[tikz, border=10pt]{standalone} \usepackage{tikz}  \begin{document}  \usetikzlibrary{decorations.pathmorphing} \begin{tikzpicture}  \draw[decorate, decoration={random steps,segment length=3.0mm, amplitude=2.0mm}, thick, rounded corners=1ex, fill=brown!70] (0,0) -- (4,0) -- ++(0, -1) -- ++(-4,0) -- cycle;   \end{tikzpicture} \end{document} What happens if my flight out of the Schengen area is cancelled on the last day of my visa? Are neutrinos affected by electromagnetic forces? I know they don't interact with matter nor any electromagnetic forces, but I know they have mass, very little mass but they have. When something has mass it must be attracted by gravity and other objects (electromagnetic) right?
