Is the Eel immortal? Find the point which is furthest away from existing points while remaining within the convex hull How do you report percentage accuracy for glmnet logistic regression? Maybe I'm searching for the wrong thing, but I can't see how I can do this.  I have two servers:   Server A (has SQL Server 2012 installed) Server B (has SQL Server 2014 installed)   Server A provides an API via IIS. The code both inserts and gets data from the database depending on the API call.  Server B does exactly the same for its local database.  I would like to have it so that the two databases are consistent copies of each other. I do believe this is what HA accomplishes.   So a load balancer, for example, might direct API calls to A sometimes, and B sometimes, but the data needs to be consistent either way.  I found some documentation on HA for SQL Server 2012, but not on how to do this for a mixed environment of 2012 and 2014.  Any help or pointers to documentation would be great! Thanks. How do I merge 2 VMware disks in to a single one?

Say you take a dice and you roll it twice so that you have a pair (X,Y) where X represents the first roll, Y represents the second.   When you have a distribution like max(X,Y), what type of distribution is that? It's not uniform, obviously, because the outcomes of max(X,Y) are clearly more favorable towards the higher numbers. I'm being asked to "describe" the distribution. I know that we can look at each distinct outcome, like:  max(1,1) = 1  max(1,2) = 2  max(1,3) = 3  max(1,4) = 4  max(1,5) = 5  max(1,6) = 6  max(2,1) = 2  max(2,2) = 2  max(2,3) = 3  max(2,4) = 4  max(2,5) = 5  max(2,6) = 6  max(3,1) = 3  max(3,2) = 3  max(3,3) = 3  max(3,4) = 4  max(3,5) = 5  max(3,6) = 6  max(4,1) = 4  max(4,2) = 4  max(4,3) = 4  max(4,4) = 4  max(4,5) = 5  max(4,6) = 6  max(5,1) = 5  max(5,2) = 5  max(5,3) = 5  max(5,4) = 5  max(5,5) = 5  max(5,6) = 6  max(6,1) = 6  max(6,2) = 6  max(6,3) = 6  max(6,4) = 6  max(6,5) = 6  max(6,6) = 6  But is that the most effective way to look at a distribution like this? Is there a faster and more concise way to describe this distribution other than saying the probability of each outcome?  i.e.,  P(max = 1) = 1/36  P(max = 2) = 3/36 = 1/12  P(max = 3) = 5/36  P(max = 4) = 7/36  P(max = 5) = 9/36 = 1/4  P(max = 6) = 11/36  So, obviously, I understand how to LOOK at a discrete distribution and see what the probabilities are, but not until I look at each possible outcome. But what does it mean to "describe" a distribution? This isn't uniform or any sort of discrete distribution we're taught. Can someone provide clarity? I updated the image in my Gravatar but my old picture still shows up.  Is this a cache issue?  Do I need to log out and then log back in? Lets say I have something like:   \[ Let x = number of cats \]   (This is a contrived example, but pretend we are actually inside a long align environment block...) "Let" and "number of cats" need to be written like normal text, while x= needs to be math type text.  I've seen this:  \[ \mbox{Let } x = \mbox{ number of cats} \]   and this:  \[ \textrm{Let } x = \textrm{ number of cats} \]   They seem to produce equivalent output, but I'm not sure which is the "correct" one. Also, they are not ideal in that the extra space needs to be placed inside the text mode block, otherwise it is ignored as math mode and butts the text right up against the math.  Ideally there would be some command which allowed embedding text into an equation, which correctly inserted leading and trailing space around the block as required without adding space inside the text block.  How does one do that "correctly"? Is the ideal $(2,X+1)\subset\Bbb{Z}[X]$ prime, maximal or neither? I'm currently considering the ideal $(2,X+1)\subset\Bbb{Z}[X]$. I'm trying to figure out if this is a prime ideal, a maximal ideal, or neither. So far I have attempted to look at the quotient ring $\Bbb{Z}[X]/(2,X+1)$. I know that if this quotient ring is a field, then our ideal is maximal, since $\Bbb{Z}[X]$ is commutative. However I'm stuck on how I should be viewing this quotient ring. I don't really know much about entropy but I learned recently that the entropy in the universe is constantly increasing and that perhaps someday we will reach maximum entropy and the universe will end in heat death. In order for this to be true there are two prerequisites:   Heat must constantly be created. There must be no way to destroy heat (at least no way that turns it into a more useful form of energy).   1 is certainly true. Every process creates some heat. When a person walks his/her feet hit the ground with kinetic energy and the friction creates heat.   But I don't see how 2 can be true. For one thing, heat never even leaves its place of origin (earth, another planet or a star). In order for heat to travel in requires air (or some other conductor/convector). Since there is no air in space there is also no heat. Heat leaves things only in the form of electromagnetic radiation (light) (in the case of earth, infrared).   So conversion from heat to light is certainly possible and is even found in nature. Now how do we get from light to other forms of energy? Well, photosynthesis. Solar panels. So this is possible too. If so, why will we ever run out of useful energy? Even if the rest of the universe does, can't we still reharness our own energy by converting the heat to light and light to other forms of energy?  Suppose the sun died (and leave aside the fact that it would first destroy earth with a supernova), can't we just put up a huge solar panel around earth to pick up all the infrared and convert it back to useful energy? How to find the best route through multiple points? I am using postgreSQL, postGIS and pgrouting. Now I am really confused on how am I going to find the shortest path between multiple points.   I know how to find it between two points through dijkstra but I am confused how to accomplish the same result with more than two points.   I have done some research and found this:    But still I did not understand if its the right way and how to install it. Search only for the currently active language do not optimize/remove html I would like to have a page with some html content in it that CK Editor does not seem to support, in particular: I want to have a little &lt;form tag with a couple of &lt;input fields. I can enter it in Switch to plain text editor mode and save from there and it will keep the elements but when I want to edit the page, it'll go back to the Switch to rich text editor and remove my &lt;form html items. How can i set CD Editor to not remove any html it may not be able to render?  Thank you! Can "Wow!" be a sentence? Unlock by fingerprint only I've just upgraded to Ubuntu 17.10 and am missing the Ubuntu Dock settings, i.e. in gnome-control-center the dock settings are blank:    I think I might be missing the "ubuntu-dock" package, but can't find this anywhere in the software centre.  Also the gnome-control-center was completely missing after the update, and I had to install this separately - not sure if this is related.  I think this is different from  because changing the type of GNOME session doesn't fix the problem. If I go for GNOME* I get no Dock settings section at all, and if I got for Ubuntu* I get the blank Dock settings section described above.

For example, given two dates in input boxes:  &lt;input id="first" value="1/1/2000"/&gt; &lt;input id="second" value="1/1/2001"/&gt;  &lt;script&gt;   alert(datediff("day", first, second)); // what goes here? &lt;/script&gt; Setting a fill and border is pretty easy in apps like Illustrator and Gravit Designer but in Blender. I've found it to be more tedious as I can't find anything online to solve this problem.  The picture above is a simple 2d mouth with lips. I would like to be able to move the lips and still have a fill but in Blender I needed to add another path for the mouth. Is there anyway I can move my lips path while having it also take the exact same shape (but not material) as my mouth's path?

What's the main difference between int.Parse() and Convert.ToInt32 What is the main difference between int.Parse() and Convert.ToInt32()? Which one is to be preferred Windows 7 Audio Too Loud In Windows 7 (64-bit, Ultimate) the default audio output is extremely high. This has been an issue for a while but I was able to get around it as my previous headphones took more power to drive so it actually worked in my benefit.  However, now I have a set of really sensitive headphones and they're being over-powered. So much so that if I put it down at around 5% of total output it's bearable.  Is there a way I can sort of limit the system's volume so that it's incapable of going extremely loud and then have the rest of it just behave as normal?  Things I've tried:   Uninstalling and re-installing the audio device and drivers. Limiting each application individually. Searching for third-party software (so far nothing looks promising).   The first has no effect. The second works find but I have to do it for every application individually (which can be a pain) and many of them reset their volume every time they're launched, which makes it almost useless. Some even reset the volume while I'm playing a game!  So does anyone have any suggestions on how to make my volume reasonable?  The device is, apparently, a Cirrus Logic CS4206A (AB 24).
