How to fix time lapse issues in Fallout Shelter
How do you reset timers?
Where are Time Machine local backups/snapshots stored? Out of curiosity, I'm wondering where in the file system Time Machine stores its local backups/snapshots. Is it possible to redirect a command's output to cd? For example, I searched for a directory using locate and got the path to it. Now, instead of writing a cd path, can I redirect the locate output to cd?  I tried this:  $ locate Descargas | grep Descargas$ /home/oliver/Descargas $ locate Descargas | grep Descargas$ | cd $ locate Descargas | grep Descargas$ &gt; cd $ locate Descargas | grep Descargas$ &lt; cd /home/oliver/Descargas $    No luck. This probably isn't particularly useful, but I'm curious. Short story where a man discovers he's living in a fake world I may be conflating two separate short science-fiction stories here, so please bear with me. I definitely read this more than 10 years ago and it's likely to be older than that (60's, 70's?)    A man wakes up one day to discover that the world is subtly different. His wife acts strangely and there's a weird "groundhog day" vibe.    He discovers that his house is actually made entirely of painted metal, including things that should be wood (a boat that he made by hand, for example). He comments that in the real world, it's the fact that stuff doesn't work properly that shows you that you're living in reality (a wobbly doorhandle may have been mentioned?) He's constantly beset by advertising; brands of washing powder, political messages, etc. and people keep asking him what he thought about them. At one point, the advertisers start getting very aggressive, literally invading his house to dirty his clothes and driving around with megaphones to shout slurs about their political competitors. He finally breaks out of the town (with the assistance of his secretary?) and they discover that they're...      ...actually robots living in a simulated town used by advertisers to test slogans, etc.   The final twist is that...     ...the town fits onto a desktop and is encased in glass. Even if he could escape, he could never live in the real world since he's very tiny. How do you set, clear, and toggle a single bit? When and why will a compiler initialise memory to 0xCD, 0xDD, etc. on malloc/free/new/delete? How to re-index the values of an array in PHP? GroupBy a list of associations with their keys Using a Sprite image with input I want to type Arabic text in Photoshop, but the text appears disjointed and the letters do not connect at all. For example محمد appears as م ح م د.   I'm using Photoshop CS6 on OSX Mountain Lion. How many times can American Tourist re-enter UK in same 6 month period? Removing leading zeroes from a field in a SQL statement I am working on a SQL query that reads from a SQLServer database to produce an extract file. One of the  requirements to remove the leading zeroes from a particular field, which is a simple VARCHAR(10) field. So, for example, if the field contains '00001A', the SELECT statement needs to return the data as '1A'.  Is there a way in SQL to easily remove the leading zeroes in this way? I know there is an RTRIM function, but this seems only to remove spaces. This or That person Best program to trim silence beginning and end of mp3 files? I have a bunch of mp3 files that have silence at the beginnings and ends, is there any program to trim this automatically? I would prefer that I can just give it a list of files to trim as opposed to having to do them individually. Windows file system is case insensitive. How, given a file/folder name (e.g. "somefile"), I get the actual name of that file/folder (e.g. it should return "SomeFile" if Explorer displays it so)?  Some ways I know, all of which seem quite backwards:   Given the full path, search for each folder on the path (via FindFirstFile). This gives proper cased results of each folder. At the last step, search for the file itself. Get filename from handle (as in ). This requires opening a file, creating file mapping, getting it's name, parsing device names etc. Pretty convoluted. And it does not work for folders or zero-size files.   Am I missing some obvious WinAPI call? The simplest ones, like GetActualPathName() or GetFullPathName() return the name using casing that was passed in (e.g. returns "program files" if that was passed in, even if it should be "Program Files").  I'm looking for a native solution (not .NET one). Can I travel to the UK unaccompanied on an accompanied child visa now that I am over 18? How to check if windows has automatic updates waiting from the command line? If a Windows server (2k3/2k8) is set to "download but not install" updates, is there a way to check from the command line.. perhaps a log file or something I can check with powershell, to see if there are any updates actually waiting to be installed? I'm trying to prevent having to manually log on to each server to check, even though they want the "trigger" pulled manually. We have an automation system in place I can use (CA Autosys) - just not sure what to have it look for. I have recently bought a Logitech M510 as my main mouse switching over from a magic mouse. I didn't realize missing horizontal scrolling would be such an issue, but apparently it is.   Now a mac does support horizontal scrolling by holding shift + scrolling, this is however amazingly slow.   I have the Logitech Control Center installed, which offers a few extra options, but nothing regarding the horizontal scroll speed. The scrolling speed options offered there only affect vertical scrolling.    Can the vertical speed be one setting and the horizontal speed another? In a tic-tac-toe implementation I guess that the challenging part is to determine the best move to be played by the machine.  What are the algorithms that can pursued? I'm looking into implementations from simple to complex. How would I go about tackling this part of the problem? I think we all understand the necessity of delete when reassigning a dynamically-allocated pointer in order to prevent memory leaks. However, I'm curious, to what extent does the C++ mandate the usage of delete? For example, take the following program  int main() {      int* arr = new int[5];      return 0; }   While for all intents and purposes no leak occurs here (since your program is ending and the OS will clean up all memory once it returns), but does the standard still require -- or recommend -- the usage of delete[] in this case? If not, would there be any other reason why you would delete[] here? postfix discard or change Message-ID header based on another header line I want to change the Message-ID header or better yet, discard it. I know everyone is going to ask "Why would you want to do that?" because I know it sounds weird to even write it.  Well I am developing a system that saves an incoming e-mail in EML format, changes it and sends it to the user, at some point the user can request to have the original EML sent to him/her. The issue is that when I re-send the EML it has the same Message-ID header which causes exchange servers to drop the re-send.  Of course I am hoping there is some option through postfix to do this, otherwise I will need to parse and change the EML but I rather not do that.  I tried to do this with "header_checks" and it works BUT I need to be able to do this conditionally, meaning only on a specific occasion, which I can identify by looking at the other headers, I want to remove the Message-ID.
