How to load a taxonomy term with case-sensitive? I used this      $this-&gt;termStorage-&gt;loadByProperties(['name' =&gt; 'test']);   I got two terms: Test, test. I want to get only one: test  This is working without case-sensitive:       $this-&gt;termStorage-&gt;getQuery()-&gt;condition('name', 'test', '=')-&gt;execute();       \Drupal::database()-&gt;select('taxonomy_term_field_data', 't')       -&gt;condition('t.name', 'test')       -&gt;fields('t', ['name'])       -&gt;execute()       -&gt;fetchAll();       \Drupal::database()-&gt;query("SELECT name FROM taxonomy_term_field_data WHERE name='test'")-&gt;fetchAll(); Issues Doing a String Comparison in LINQ Domain Controller etiquette after a crash between Server 2003 & Server 2008 I have 2 domain controllers on a non-Internet connected network running Windows Server 2008 R2. They running RAID 5 on a 8 Hard Drive server. Sometime last week the Boot Sector became corrupt on DC1 and I was unable to recover the server. I am not going to have to rebuild the server. I have been reading about the changes from Server 2003 to Server 2008. DC1 was the main domain controller and now that it won't but it is all falling to DC2. I know that in previous versions of Windows Server you had to make on the primary and one the secondary. Since DC2 does not see DC1 anymore is there anything I need to do to DC2 as it is now the one in control? I am thinking some kind of meta data clean up but I can't find any hard information on what procedure to do. I understand as of Server 2008 domain controllers are on an equal footing and provide replication to each other so they should be the same correct?

VB6 compiling via console (vb.exe) compatibility issue on 64bit (works on 32bit?) How to set identity_insert to on in SQL Server How can I check for Python version in a program that uses new language features? If I have a Python script that requires at least a particular version of Python, what is the correct way to fail gracefully when an earlier version of Python is used to launch the script?  How do I get control early enough to issue an error message and exit?  For example, I have a program that uses the ternery operator (new in 2.5) and "with" blocks (new in 2.6).  I wrote a simple little interpreter-version checker routine which is the first thing the script would call ... except it doesn't get that far. Instead, the script fails during python compilation, before my routines are even called. Thus the user of the script sees some very obscure synax error tracebacks - which pretty much require an expert to deduce that it is simply the case of running the wrong version of Python.  I know how to check the version of Python. The issue is that some syntax is illegal in older versions of Python. Consider this program:  import sys if sys.version_info &lt; (2, 4):     raise "must use python 2.5 or greater" else:     # syntax error in 2.4, ok in 2.5     x = 1 if True else 2     print x   When run under 2.4, I want this result  $ ~/bin/python2.4 tern.py  must use python 2.5 or greater   and not this result:  $ ~/bin/python2.4 tern.py    File "tern.py", line 5     x = 1 if True else 2            ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax   (Channeling for a coworker.) xcode4 doesn't support Perforce? Last activity name still missing from migrated question According to this post  this should be fixed. But it happened again.  See Image below (link to )  There was also another migrated question () in the list where the name was missing, but it was edited on meta. extracting energy from cosmological expansion This question is a more concrete reincarnation of an .  Are there mechanisms to extract energy from the cosmic rate of expansion? putting some extremely long ropes across the universe and extract work from their increase of separation?  assuming this is possible ( i don't see why it would not ), what form would take the back-reaction force? in all physics, every time you extract work from some system by some force, this system will exert a force back. Can we slow down cosmic expansion by variations of these mechanisms? Windows 10 language bar hot keys are reseted to (none) after locking I have 3 different keyboard layouts set up on my laptop and use Ctrl+Shift+[1-3] key combination to switch between them.  Like that:    However, after locking and unlocking Windows (with a password), these hotkeys don't work anymore and key sequence is rolled back to (None):    Signing out from Windows or rebooting the laptop sets everything back to normal, until lock/unlock again.  I think this behaviour is related to the usage of the same hotkeys in File Explorer - to switch view (Extra large icons/Large icons/Medium icons accordingly). After the lock/unlock switch view starts working again.  Seems like File Explorer overrides language bar hotkeys after the unlocking.  How can I disable this functionality? Completely disabling Ctrl+Shift+number functionality in File Explorer will do, however I can't find anywhere on the internet how to do it.  Any ideas or help appreciated!
