Task and increment value
Captured variable in a loop in C#
I have named him/he who shall not be named. Which of these is correct? I think it should be "him" because "him" is a direct object in this context. In this context, "him/he who shall not be named" is not a proper noun. Script access to tangent and bitangent, per face: how? Suppose you have a mesh; you go into Edit mode,  set Transform Orientation to Normal,  show 3D manipulator widget, Pivot Point = Active Element, face select mode, and then you select any one face: immediately you will see a blue arrow representing the face normal, and also a red and a green arrow representing the face's tangent and bitangent.  What is the most straightforward way to refer  to said tangent and bitangent vectors from a Python script? The API documentation confuses me with loops and uv's, yet, clearly, Blender assigns a tangent and bitangent to each face without hesitation! Bypass GeneratedValue in Hibernate (merge data not in db?) A common good practice in Machine Learning is to do feature normalization or data standardization of the predictor variables, that's it, center the data substracting the mean and normalize it dividing by the variance (or standard deviation too). For self containment and to my understanding we do this to achieve two main things:   Avoid extra small model weights for the purpose of numerical stability. Ensure quick convergence of optimization algorithms like e.g. Conjugate Gradient so that the large magnitude of one predictor dimension w.r.t. the others doesn't lead to slow convergence.   We usually split the data into training, validation and testing sets. In the literature we usually see that to do feature normalization they take the mean and variance (or standard deviation) over the whole set of predictor variables. The big flaw I see here is that if you do that, you are in fact introducing future information into the training predictor variables namely the future information contained in the mean and variance.  Therefore, I do feature normalization over the training data and save the mean and variance. Then I apply feature normalization to the predictor variables of the validation and test data sets using the training mean and variances. Are there any fundamental flaws with this? can anyone recommend a better alternative? Struggling with Plural/Singular? Which of the following is a grammatically correct statement?   The value of cars depreciate over time.   The values of cars depreciate over time. The value of cars depreciates over time.   Thanks! What are valid values for the id attribute in HTML? When creating the id attributes for HTML elements, what rules are there for the value? I want to build a flow to trigger an email when a date in one of the fields is nearing. I have a field named Payment due date. is it possible to trigger an email 2 days prior to the Payment due date. So that I don't miss the payment due date and payment is not delayed. Any kind of assistance is appreciated. Thank you very much in advance! Model Selection: Logistic Regression Is a current transformer appropriate for a voltage step up flyback converter? I am designing a flyback converter, input 170V output 1200V at 2mA.  I am having trouble finding an appropriate transformer, most do not have a high enough N. Current transformers seem to have ranges in 1:500, so I could work with that.  Is it proper to use a current transformer as a conventional step up voltage transformer? How can I deploy a connected app from my sandbox environment to my production environment? I built a changeset and I was able to include all my classes, but it was a surprise that salesforce has not provided any option to deploy a connected app.  So how do I go about deploying a connected app? Do I need to create it in every other environment? Is there a rule of thumb for objective questions asked out of curiosity? Is there any table or any other way(metadata/rest api) we can query the list views of a particular object that a user/group  has access.  Example:  SELECT Name FROM table_x WHERE UserOrGroupId = '1234..' AND  SobjectType = 'Account'   I can see an object named UserListView in workbench, but query on that returns no data. Is it deprecated? Laptop with no battery Is it possible to change the linkage of Nether portals? I have 3 portals that link together, but I want to remove at least the middle one.  Edit for clarification:    The portals I created are 1, 4 and 5, the others were spawned by the game as the "other end". I want to remove the link between 5 and 4 and create a link between 5 and (the yet non-existent) 6.  The goal is to be able to travel to 5 in the route: 1, 2, 6, 5. I don't really need 3 and 4 now. Probability of a painted cube being reassembled into itself Suppose 27 cubes are stacked together, suspended in the air, to form a larger cube.  The cube is then painted on all the exposed surfaces and dried.  The smaller cubes are then randomly permuted in both spatial position and spatial orientation to form another large cube.  What is the probability that new larger cube is identical to the original?  This is not homework, it was passed on by a friend who found it somewhere on the internet, and they do not remember where. Trying to keep track of the updates to all the great, user-developed add-ons is fairly frustrating (at least for me). Is there currently a centralized resource where all these amazing add-ons are kept and updated in one location?  If there isn't such a resource, would it be possible to have blender query the collection of installed add-ins and then iterate through on-line references looking at version #'s for add-ins?  Since, as far as I know, it hasn't been done...I have to ask if there are any major flaws in the concept. Of course, in my dream scenario, there would be a "voting" front-end that would allow users to see what the most popular and useful add-ons are and where you don't have to read pages (and pages) of threads. Do I lose anything converting to DNG? I'd like to convert all my ARW (Sony) files to DNG for several reasons, but the only thing keeping me back from doing it is the fear of losing useful metadata during the conversion. I know that the image it's self is completely safe during the conversion but what about proprietary maker noteS? Will those stay too? And even if they do, are they actually useful and can be actually used by something other then Sony's own RAW converter?  P.S. I'm using Ubuntu so I'd prefer to use KipiPlugins' DNG converter because from what I understand it does everything the Adobe converter does, but if I'm wrong I can use Adobe's instead.  EDIT:  It looks like the LensID does carry over! With the ARW and the DNG files converted by Kipiplugins' built in converter, info is stored as "Exif.Sony.0x___". With Adobe's official converter, it moves the info to more logically named fields in the XMP, such as "LensID" and "Lens".  Now that I've figured it out, I think I might use Adobe's Official converter, just because I prefer how it reorganizes the Exif Data.  I'm not fully convinced though and I'd like to hear others take on all this. VS10 debugger error: Test host process exited unexpectedly How do you determine the size of a file in C?
