How to load a .NET assembly for reflection operations and subsequently unload it? Why was Arcanine with the Legendary Birds in Veridian City in Pokémon Origins? In Pokémon Origins, Red sees a image with the three legendary birds and Arcanine.     Why was Arcanine there? I mean, he's 'The Legendary Pokemon' but not a legendary Pokémon. In , there is a comment by  on the answer that Arcanine was originally a legendary Pokémon:     "...Nintendo first gave Zapdos, Articuno and Arcanine as the legendary trio. But they removed Arcanine as it would have been awkward. Two birds and a dog, huh!..."   This still does not add up because Pokémon Origins was created a while after they removed Arcanine. Any thoughts? Is there a difference between taking a far shot on a 50mm lens and a close shot on a 35mm lens? How to pass the output of one command as the command-line argument to another? So I have a script that, when I give it two addresses, will search two HTML links:  echo "http://maps.google.be/maps?saddr\=$1\&amp;daddr\=$2" | sed 's/ /%/g'   I want to send this to wget and then save the output in a file called temp.html. I tried this, but it doesn't work. Can someone explain why and/or give me a solution please?  #!/bin/bash url = echo "http://maps.google.be/maps?saddr\=$1\&amp;daddr\=$2" |  sed 's/ /%/g' wget $url Ruby on Rails on IIS? I found  presentation document by D. J. Bernstein. Is it possible to create it in latex?  Screenshot I am creating table in LaTeX and I need to get the text to perform line break automaticaly when it's too long. And if possible, I'd like to get the text alignment to the left. Is it possible to handle this situation? Word for resembling the truth How do we refer to the act of resembling the truth, regardless if it is indeed the truth?  Some context: suppose you are watching a film and the story bears a striking resemblance to "real life". Perhaps you remember similar events from your own background or the story has a strong internal coherence. So you feel that the story could be true, even though you know it is fictional. Or, as the legend has it, when Michelangelo finished his "Pietà" and the sculpture seemed so "real" and "natural" to him, that he was amazed that the sculpture couldn't talk. One last example: you hear the promises of a politician in election campaign and he seems to be telling the truth, but of course you have no way to figure out, beforehand, if he is being honest or not.  The word "likelihood" comes to mind, but this word suggests some kind of numerical (even statistical) evaluation, which is akin to "probability". The word I am looking for describes the feeling you get, which leads to a subjective "binary" judgement (either it resembles the truth or not).  In Portuguese, such word is "verossimilhança" (from Latin verum, truth + similis, similar). forecast using arima models I am trying to predict values using arima(0,1,1). After doing predict(mod,n.ahead=5) (in R) am getting the same value for all the predictions:   5947.681 5947.681 5947.681 5947.681 5947.681    Is it correct? How do I choose grid and block dimensions for CUDA kernels? Clarification on Rayleigh scattering causing various sky colors (I know Rayleigh scattering isn't the only reason why the sky is blue but to simplify the question lets focus on that)  The commonly stated reason for why the sky is blue is that smaller wavelengths are scattered more easily off the molecules in the air. During the day, because the blue light is scattered more, the sky is illuminated more with that blue light and more reaches your eyes. However, during sunsets and sunrises, the light from the sun must travel a longer distance. The explanation I have found is that the blue light is scattered away and more of the longer wavelength reds and greens are available to reach your eyes to get those warmer colors, (red and green of course mixing to get yellows).   My question is that it seems like these explanations are conflicting. If the light at sunsets and sunrises travels more distance, why won't the blue light be scattered even more and thus illuminate the sky with blue light more than in the daylight? It confuses me that in one case the scattering of blue light causes the sky to be blue but then at sunset the scattering eliminates this color. Could I get some explanation on this? Is there a way to add an error on a dynamically referenced field? Let's take this simple example:  opp.get('Name').addError('Invalid name');   This is not working, I'm looking for a similar minded way.  Thanks Unable to upgrade Windows 10 edition from Home to Pro I have a Lenovo laptop which upgraded from Windows 8.1 Home to Windows 10 Home.  I have a (legitimate) Windows 10 Pro key which I ran through the "Change Product Key" wizard.  After a reboot I get an error which states "We couldn't upgrade your edition" and asks me to try again or seek help from my system administrator (me!) or Microsoft.  There is nothing in the event logs except Info entries in the Setup log stating it failed to change the installed state to Pro Edition with a hex error code (I don't have access to the laptop right now, I will update later with the full log details)  Googling the hex error code led me to a Windows 7 KB Article regarding Windows Update failure due to locked files. The article stepped through using MSCONFIG to perform a clean boot which I did, but still got the error.  Any pointers on how to upgrade this laptop? Or will I have to get the sledgehammer out and do a clean install? When should I use the new keyword in C++? Present-perfect-tense vs. Simple-past-tense No processing tools in QGIS 3.2 Finding the 1st three derivatives of a function and plotting all four curves Algorithm to detect overlapping periods How does Java's serialization work and when it should be used instead of some other persistence technique? I've been lately trying to learn more and generally test Java's serialization for both work and personal projects and I must say that the more I know about it, the less I like it. This may be caused by misinformation though so that's why I'm asking these two things from you all:  1: On byte level, how does serialization know how to match serialized values with some class?  One of my problems right here is that I made a small test with ArrayList containing values "one", "two", "three". After serialization the byte array took 78 bytes which seems awfully lot for such low amount of information(19+3+3+4 bytes). Granted there's bound to be some overhead but this leads to my second question:  2: Can serialization be considered a good method for persisting objects at all? Now obviously if I'd use some homemade XML format the persistence data would be something like this  &lt;object&gt;     &lt;class="java.util.ArrayList"&gt;     &lt;!-- Object array inside Arraylist is called elementData --&gt;     &lt;field name="elementData"&gt;         &lt;value&gt;One&lt;/value&gt;         &lt;value&gt;Two&lt;/value&gt;         &lt;value&gt;Three&lt;/value&gt;     &lt;/field&gt; &lt;/object&gt;   which, like XML in general, is a bit bloated and takes 138 bytes(without whitespaces, that is). The same in JSON could be   {     "java.util.ArrayList": {         "elementData": [             "one",             "two",             "three"         ]     } }   which is 75 bytes so already slightly  smaller than Java's serialization. With these text-based formats it's of course obvious that there has to be a way to represent your basic data as text, numbers or any combination of both.  So to recap, how does serialization work on byte/bit level, when it should be used and when it shouldn't be used and what are real benefits of serialization besides that it comes standard in Java? Holomorphic function $f:B(0,1) \to B(1,4)$ with $f(0)=3$ and $f(\frac{1}{2})=1$ Problem  Find all holomorphic functions $f:B(0,1) \to B(1,4)$ that verify $f(0)=3$ and $f(\frac{1}{2})=1$.  I have no idea how to attack this problem,since it comes after an exercise related to Schwarz lemma, I thought that maybe the idea is to somehow apply the lemma in this problem as well, but if that is the case, I don't know how could I use it. I would appreciate suggestions.
