QGIS Processing - Additional Creation Parameter for GdalWarp I am having a hard time getting the "Additional Creation Parameters" to work when using GdalWarp through the processing toolbox.  I am trying to set the nodata value to 0 for the output raster.  processing.runalg("gdalogr:warpreproject","InRaster.tif","EPSG:32736","EPSG:32736",10,0,"-dstnodata 0","OutRaster.tif")   Has anyone used this functionality and managed to get it to work? Grant Select on a view not base table when base table is in a different database I have a view which is selecting rows from a table in a different database.  I'd like to grant select access to the view, but not direct access to the base table.  The view has a where clause restricting the number of rows.  Can I grant select to the view and not the base table, or do I need to switch to a stored procedure? I would rather not do it the latter way. PHP parse_ini_file work on URL? What attracted Padmé to Anakin? Can negative levels get rid of racial HD? What happens when one is affected by something such as energy drain, and permanently loses levels when one only has racial HD? Does the victim of the spell die? Or do they permanently lose racial HD? What characters do I need to escape when using sed in a sh script? Take the following script:  #!/bin/sh sed 's/(127\.0\.1\.1)\s/\1/' [some file]   If I try to run this in sh (dash here), it'll fail because of the parentheses, which need to be escaped. But I don't need to escape the backslashes themselves (between the octets, or in the \s or \1). What's the rule here? What about when I need to use {...} or [...]? Is there a list of what I do and don't need to escape? Light emission from the vicinity of a black hole The photograph of the black hole, at the centre of galaxy M87, is now a part of human history. We are told that the red-colour is caused by hot gas, matter &amp; radiation around the "edge", the Event Horizon. Given the power of the gravitational forces emanating from black hole, why aren't these three things drawn into the abyss? If light is bent/ drawn into the BH, how does this red image arise? The logic, here, would be that a body, on the Event Horizon, is immune from the gravity--which sounds pretty fatuous? User suggested great corrective edit to my answer, but the edit was rejected. What can I do to approve it? Difference between 'such as' and 'like' This one never ceases to confuse me. When to use 'such as' and when to use 'like' while giving examples? Is there any clear rule?        Metros like Mumbai, Delhi and Karachi are unsafe after dark.    Metros such as Mumbai, Delhi and Karachi are unsafe after dark.       (Before anyone points out, Delhi and Karachi are unsafe round-the-clock, but it's just an example.) Is acceleration relative in relativity? Suppose a box A is moving relative to a Box B, then by time dilation equation if I take 1 sec passed for an observer in A then for an observer in B will be little longer. Now if I suppose that the box B is moving while A is stationary under the same condition, then by the time dilation equation time passed in B must be shorter than A. How is this issue resolved? In the twin paradox problem my book says that it's due to acceleration, but in my opinion acceleration is relative (please correct me if I'm wrong), but here it is not the case. The context is soccer (association football) and the sentence in question is:       The forward received the ball from the midfielder's pass.     I have already ask about this  and received alot of good answers, and I tried to leave it at that.  But then the World Cup 2014 is upon us, and I am starting to have doubts about this football usage of "from", to the point that I have semi-nightmares about it.  The use of "from" in the football example continues to bother me.  I seem to disagree (subconsciously) about how a ball (physical object) could be "from" a pass (action) unless that action creates that object.       Some people were hit by debris from the explosion.   The use of "from" in "debris from the explosion" makes excellent sense to me, because the explosion does create the debris.  But in soccer/football, the ball cannot possibly be "created" by a pass.    Is there any non-football usage of "from" similar to my football example sentence? What is the limit of:  $$\lim_{n\to \infty} \frac{n^1+\dots+n^n}{1^n+\dots+n^n} = ?$$  I did some computation with big numbers, I guess it is in the interval $\left(\frac{1}{2},1\right)$. Why is sample standard deviation a biased estimator of $\sigma$? According to the Wikipedia article on  the sample SD   $$s = \sqrt{\frac{1}{n-1} \sum_{i=1}^n (x_i - \overline{x})^2}$$  is a biased estimator of the SD of the population. It states that $E(\sqrt{s^2}) \neq \sqrt{E(s^2)}$.   NB. Random variables are independent and each $x_{i} \sim N(\mu,\sigma^{2})$   My question is two-fold:   What is the proof of the biasedness? How does one compute the expectation of the sample standard deviation    My knowledge of maths/stats is only intermediate. Should I flag/down-vote "Draft Answers"? Alternate position of x tick labels The limit of $((1+x)^{1/x} - e+ ex/2)/x^2$ as $x\to 0$ Constrains relationship I have the following design. Each user has it's own contacts, it's own hosts and assign those to a domain which belongs only to him.   I want to insure that the host you assign to the domain belongs to the user that domain is assigned to.  Is it something that I have to insure in my application logic?  If I set domains.user_id foreign key to reference host.user_id and user_id.id does it eliminate my issue?    By the way can anyone suggest me a better design for my schema? Dealing with "Find out who's going to buy the croissants" On Stack Overflow at the moment, there is a popular question which is currently high in the Hot Questions feed:   So far it has been closed twice (once by the community and a moderator and once by a moderator alone) but re-opened twice by the community. It is clearly not a [so] Stack Overflow question. Reading between the lines, there could be a valid Software Engineering question there, but it would be a very basic one (at the fizz-buzz competency level) and looks more like a populist attempt to farm reputation than a serious question.  Worst of all, even though there are some interesting answers on this question, they are all going to be completely useless to future visitors to the site, since they will be completely undiscoverable. If the question were at least "What is the best fair distribution algorithm?" it would still be off-topic (primarily opinion based), but at least it might help someone once the topic falls off the Hot Questions feed.  Although this has turned into just a bit of fun, and I don't want to kill that, enough is enough. While this question is open, unlocked, and still seen as a valid question, it is setting a bad example for the whole Stack Exchange network.   questions like this, especially on the grandfather Stack Exchange site, devalue the work we are putting in on every other site by making it appear acceptable to re-open populist questions like this after two moderators have classified it as off-topic.  What should we do about this question?   Should it be left open? Power to the people? Closed and locked by a moderator? Migrated to another site? &hellip;or something else? Maximum power transfer and Thevenin I'm planning to travel to France a few times in the next few months (tourist). Since I need a Schengen visa, I just don't know how to fill out the forms (which only have questions about travel dates of ONE single trip).  How do I report that I am traveling a few times, because if I don't they might only give me a single entry visa (or a visa not valid long enough for my next trips). I can only see that I'm requesting a multiple entry visa, nothing else about how long I need it to be valid.  Do I need to provide proof of hotel/flight reservations and travel insurance for all the trips or would the first one suffice?  How do I approach this issue so that I get a Schengen visa for at least 4.5 months? I am applying in the UK at their London application centre.
