How can I get back to Blender's default theme? Even though I am relatively new to Blender I am recording a tutorial for a Blender exporter. I have been advised that I should use the Default colour scheme (for the UI). I have no idea which one that is. Can anyone tell me? Infusing olive oil with herbs 408 Request Time-outs still continues I'm frequently getting 408 Request Time-out errors  when browsing through Stack Overflow and Meta. I used to get this four or five times a day before, but now it has become very frequent. I've read  in which Kyle Brandt ♦ says:     We send our web logs to SQL so we can query them. It turns out that we have a bug that prevents 408s from being logged to SQL. [...] I will do more extensive research when our 408s are part of queryable logs (should be a week or two [...]).   My internet connection is somewhat stable and I haven't experienced this issue on other sites before. I don't think it's a browser-specific issue as it is reproducible on latest versions of Google Chrome and Firefox (on Ubuntu 13.10). However, it is specific to Stack Overflow and Meta. I'm unable to reproduce this on other SE sites.  Am I the only one facing this issue? Could it be something wrong with the regional CDN or something like that? Could someone please take a look at this issue? ()  This appears when I try to close-vote questions, too: Calculating Statistics Based on Expression in QGIS? Is it possible to calculate the sum of polygon areas based on whether or not it has a value in another column?   For example:  In column 2 I have the area of polygons. I want to calculate the area of all polygons that contain 'AG' in column 1 or all polygons that are IN column 1. But calculate them separately so I can get the total area of each type in column 1. Simple enough question: What math should all game programmers have a firm grasp of in order to be successful?  I'm not specifically talking about rendering math or anything in the niche areas of game programming, more specifically just things that even game programmers should know about, and if they don't they'll probably find it useful.  Note: as there is no one correct answer, this question (and its answers) is a community wiki.  Also, if you would like fancy latex math equations, feel free to use . How to forbid a specific package to be installed? I looked "$\divideontimes$" up on Google and now I know that it's Unicode U+22c7 but when would it be used?  I am guessing that $5 \divideontimes 5 = 25$ and $1$...? Why does DMM show AC and DC current when source is a battery? (How to calculate power in this case?) The circuit is an altered Joule Thief of my design that is driven by an AA or AAA battery. I’m observing the current at the battery anode with my DMM in series. (Extech EX330) This circuit is extremely efficient (In relation to other Joule Thief I've build.) and does some weird stuff - like, it needs a pushbutton sometimes.    Measurements: It is drawing 9.21 mA DC and 6.48 mA AC in series with the battery. It shows 1.364 VDC and 0.010 VAC in parallel with the battery. Output on the LED is 2.572 VDC and 0.011 VAC with no measurable frequency. (with my DMM at least) All measurements are taken with the same configuration and voltage.    But how is it drawing AC and DC and how do I calculate power consumption? --> Could it be because the emitter pin of the NPN is directly connected to ground? --> Or is the circuit just "switching on and off"?     Download schematic:  (I tried to simulate the circuit in LTspice. Thanks for making me aware of this amazing program, Sredni Vashtar!)     What the pushbutton is used for: The pushbutton is used to "kickstart" the oscillation when it wont start by itself. For example: I have to manually "oscillate" using this button to start the circuit if the capacitor is too big and battery voltage is low. Pushing the button releases the energy in the transformer into the capacitor. If it reaches LED forward voltage the circuit keeps oscillating on it's own. It does work without manual intervention when then capacitor in parallel with the LED is not too big, like &lt;5000 µF, and it's a fresh battery.    . Thank you for your answers! I'm learning so much! :D I can do an eval("something()"); to execute the code dynamically in JavaScript. Is there a way for me to do the same thing in C#?  An example of what I am trying to do is: I have an integer variable (say i) and I have multiple properties by the names: "Property1", "Property2", "Property3", etc. Now, I want to perform some operations on the " Propertyi " property depending on the value of i.   This is really simple with Javascript. Is there any way to do this with C#? Why doesn't Java have compound assignment versions of the conditional-and and conditional-or operators? (&&=, ||=) Proving that $\lim_{k\to \infty}\frac{f(x_k)-f(y_k)}{x_k-y_k}=f'(c)$ where $\lim_{k\to \infty}x_k=\lim_{k\to \infty}y_k=c$ with $x_k<c<y_k$ Question.  Suppose that a function $f$ is defined on an interval $I$, $c$ is a point of $I$, and {$x_k$} and {$y_k$} are any two sequences in $I$ such that $\lim_{k\to \infty}x_k=\lim_{k\to \infty}y_k=c$ with $x_k&lt;c&lt;y_k$ for all $k$. Prove that, if $f'(c)$ exists, then $\lim_{k\to \infty}\frac{f(x_k)-f(y_k)}{x_k-y_k}=f'(c).$   My Attempt.  Let $\epsilon_k=\frac{1}{k}$ be given.  For $\epsilon_1=1,$ there exists $\delta_1&gt;0$ such that $x_1,y_1\in I, x_1,y_1\in N'(c;\delta_1)$ implies $\vert \frac{f(x_1)-f(y_1)}{x_1-y_1} -f'(c) \vert&lt;\epsilon_1.$  For $\epsilon_2=\frac{1}{2},$ there exists $0&lt;\delta_2&lt;$min$\{\vert x_1-c \vert,\vert y_1-c \vert,\epsilon_2\}$ such that $x_2,y_2\in I, x_2,y_2\in N'(c;\delta_2)$ implies $\vert \frac{f(x_2)-f(y_2)}{x_2-y_2} -f'(c) \vert&lt;\epsilon_2.$  Similarly, for $\epsilon_{k}=\frac{1}{k},$ there exists $0&lt;\delta_k&lt;$min$\{\vert x_{k-1}-c \vert,\vert y_{k-1}-c \vert,\epsilon_k\}$ such that $x_k,y_k\in I, x_k,y_k\in N'(c;\delta_k)$ implies $\vert \frac{f(x_k)-f(y_k)}{x_k-y_k} -f'(c) \vert&lt;\epsilon_k.$  Then by taking the limit to infinity, we obtain $\lim_{k\to \infty}\frac{f(x_k)-f(y_k)}{x_k-y_k}=f'(c).$   It really took me a lot of time to finish the proof and I need this to be checked by an expert:) Is the proof okay? Any response would be appreciated! The version of python2 on my Ubuntu 14.04 machine is Python 2.7.6. How can I upgrade it to the the latest version of Python 2.X? The latest is currently 2.7.11.  I have tried apt-get update/upgrade, but the repository doesn't seem to have the latest version. Prove that $\lim_{x \to \infty} \frac{\log(1+e^x)}{x} = 1$ Show that $$\lim_{x \to \infty} \frac{\log(1 + e^x)}{x} = 1$$ How do I prove this? Or how do we get this result? Here $\log$ is the natural logarithm. What is the relation between linear purity and von Neumann entropy of a state? Given a density matrix $\rho$, its linear purity is $\mathrm{Tr} \rho^2$, its von Neumann entropy is $-\mathrm{Tr} \rho \log \rho$. Knowing one how do I calculate the other?  Edit:   My thought is that the linear purity and the von Neumann entropy are a parallel set of benchmarks for mixedness. Their inter-conversion should be like unit conversion.  See it this way, as a state goes from a pure state to a maximally mixed state, $\mathrm{Tr} \rho^2$ goes from $1$ to $0$, and $-\mathrm{Tr} \rho \log \rho$ goes from $0$ to $\log d$, like two rulers. A point on one should correspond to a point on the other. Non abelian Lie group with abelian Lie algebra Dropping Internet connection on Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.

Now in the skills menu I can press space to make it Legendary, which will put it back to a skill level of 15 and reset my perks.  I am wondering: What benefit is there from making a skill Legendary apart from being able to level up the skill more thus having infinite levels? Automatically protect questions with three or more low-rep-user deleted answers There are a few "automatically protect questions" requests out there, but I'd like to add another twist.  I'd like to request that questions that have three or more deleted answers by users with &lt;50 rep be automatically protected.  The reasoning behind this is that we have lots and lots of "not an answer" flags in the mod queue.  But we cannot protect a question from the mod queue, so we have to open each answer, evaluate if the question needs protecting, then protect it.    This process takes a long time, and can definitely be automated, as the only thing you really need to check is how many new users are posting non-answers or are spamming their awful products.
