Can I play an instant mid attack/block
In plain English, how does casting spells and using creature abilities work with the stack and priority?
I am using a linux server which has 128GB of memory and 24 cores. I use top to see how much it is used. Its output is pasted at the end of the post. Here are two questions:  (1) I see that each of the running processes occupies a very small percentage of memory (%MEM no more than 0.2%, and most just 0.0%), but how the total memory is almost used as in the fourth line of output ("Mem:  130766620k total, 130161072k used,   605548k free,   919300k buffers")? The sum of used percentage of memory over all processes seems unlikely to achieve almost 100%, doesn't it?  (2) how to understand the load average on the first line ("load average: 14.04, 14.02, 14.00")?   Thanks and regards!  Edit:  Thanks!  I also really like to hear some rough numbers based on used percentage of memory to determine if a server is heavily loaded, since I once became the one who cramed the server without understanding the current load.  Is swap regarded as almost the same as memory? For example, when memory and swap are almost of same size, if the memory is almost running out but the swap is still largely free, may I just view it as if the used percentage of memory + swap is still not high and run other new processes?  How would you consider together CPU or memory (or memory + swap) usage? Do you become worried if either of them reaches too high or both?

What would be a good term for continuous testing post-deployment? Does 10 heads in a row increase the chance of the next toss being a tail? I assume the following is true: assuming a fair coin, getting 10 heads in a row whilst tossing a coin does not increase the chance of the next coin toss being a tail, no matter what amount of probability and/or statistical jargon is tossed around (excuse the puns).   Assuming that is the case, my question is this: how the hell do I convince someone that is the case?

I've just encountered several answers such as to  that use the construct:  while IFS=, read xx yy zz;do     echo $xx $yy $zz done &lt; input_file   where the IFS variable is set before the read command.  I've been reading through the  but can't figure out why this is legal.  I tried  $ x="once upon" y="a time" echo $x $y   from the bash command prompt but got nothing echoed. Can someone point me to where that syntax is defined in the reference that allows the IFS variable to be set in that way? Is it a special case or can I do something similar w/ other variables? When to use a RAM disk? I know that RAM disks are fast, faster than any disk, but they lose their contents on a shutdown of the operating system. The capacity is limited to the RAM. Is there a useful implementation on a new 64-bit Windows 2008 server? Any site that I visit can see my local IP (e.g. 192.168.1.102). Is there any reliable way to block this behavior? (browser setting, OS setting, router setting, etc.) I am particularity interested in Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox, but any modern open source browser will do. If it is a browser plugin, it should be open source with a solid user base.  By reliable I mean, that I do not need to check the leakage again after every software update.  More info / what I have read so far:   There was a Chrome plugin that is not working anymore Local IP is obtained using JavaScript / WebRTC   Live Demo here:  Source code:   Firefox developers is not going to fix the leak (bug is open from 2014):  In Private / Incognito mode does not prevent this leak. If you use static IPs, and have non typical local IP (e.g. 10.66.77.88 or 192.168.212.121), then there is no need for . Your external IP + internal IP is perfect fingerprint.   Update 1: It is not duplicate of  - I want to prevent private / local IP leak, not disable all WebRTC.  Update 2: No, it is not related to header X-Forwarded-For (HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR), that is added when user/administrator chooses to do so. In my provided demo it is not your choice... It is Google's and Mozilla's choice to leak your private IP even when using private browsing mode.  Update 3: Ability to determine my local IP allows malicious JavaScript to quickly identify my local subnet and print on my local network printers from any website in the world without me doing anything.  This  finds my LAN printers using JavaScript.  Update 4: It is not a good idea to reveal private IP to every website. By seeing your private IP, for example 192.168.88.101, I can guess with very high probability that you are using MikroTik router. Also, I can track particular user event if user uses different browsers because local and remote IP stays the same for some time (hours or even days).

Two unit circles overlap in such a way that exactly half the area of each circle is within the overlap. How far apart are the centers of the two circles? How to fix missing characters from font after awakening from suspend? I find that often after awakening from suspend on Ubuntu GNOME 16.04 with GNOME 3.20 (I have only found this issue on the latest version, though I have not tried with GNOME 3.18 on 16.04) that I get this strange font issue which can't be fixed by restarting gnome-shell and seemingly only by restarting my entire machine:            I do not believe that this is a theme issue as I have tried all the built-in themes (including the dark and light versions) and it is the same for them all. Though it does not seem to affect gnome-shell areas, that is the top-bar, the Activities Overview, etc, are not affected for some reason. So what could this issue be caused by and how can I fix or workaround it?  Information Update:  I have had a look at  but the only options in the gnome-tweak-tool for Antialiasing are Rgba, None, and Grayscale, but none of them seem to have any affect on the issue.
