Choosing right power supply
Does LED brightness change with voltage?
How is dark energy consistent with conservation of mass and energy? I initially thought that dark energy must in some way violate conservation of mass and energy since the component of the energy density of space that comes from dark energy is constant, and space is expanding. Therefore, as space expands the energy in the universe that comes from dark energy would increase. I presumed the source of this energy was not coming from the conversion of other types of energy to dark energy, so it must violate conservation.  I decided to Google this and came upon this article:    It says that dark energy does NOT violate conservation and quotes Carroll, Press, and Turner (1992):  "…the patch does negative work on its surroundings, because it has negative pressure. Assuming the patch expands adiabatically [i.e. without loss or gain of heat], one may equate this negative work to the increase of mass/energy of the patch. One thereby recovers the correct equation of state for dark energy: P = – ρ c2. So the mathematics is consistent."  Is there a way to explain this in layman's terms? (The blog attempted to do this, but it was very unclear to me.) More specifically, can you explain where my initial train of thought described above fails when I erroneously concluded that dark energy violates conservation?  Thank you. What finite groups always have a square root for each element? If $G$ is an odd cyclic group of order $n$, then each element $g$ of $G$ has another element $h$ such that $h^2=g$. This is because $2 x = y \mod n$ is solvable for $x$. (Note this is not the same as solving $x^2=y \mod n$.)  What other finite groups have this property? How to use testfor with a mob with a two-word name? How can I test for mob who has a name with two words? For example villager named Grumpy Bill. For example I want to kill this villager.  This command   /kill @e[name=Bill]   would work just fine but when I try  /kill @e[name=Grumpy Bill]   it says "The entity UUID provided is in an invalid format"  What is the proper command for this action? Showing group with $p^2$ elements is Abelian I have a group $G$ with $p^2$ elements, where $p$ is a prime number. Some (potentially) useful preliminary information I have is that there are exactly $p+1$ subgroups with $p$ elements, and with that I was able to show $G$ has a normal subgroup $N$ with $p$ elements.   My problem is showing that $G$ is abelian, and I would be glad if someone could show me how.   I had two potential approaches in mind and I would prefer if one of these were used (especially the second one).   First: The center $Z(G)$ is a normal subgroup of $G$ so by Langrange's theorem, if $Z(G)$ has anything other than the identity, it's size is either $p$ or $p^2$. If $p^2$ then $Z(G)=G$ and we are done. If $Z(G)=p$ then the quotient group of $G$ factored out by $Z(G)$ has $p$ elements, so it is cylic and I can prove from there that this implies $G$ is abelian. So can we show theres something other than the identity in the center of $G$?  Second: I list out the elements of some other subgroup $H$ with $p$ elements such that the intersection of $H$ and $N$ is only the identity (if any more, due to prime order the intersected elements would generate the entire subgroups). Let $N$ be generated by $a$ and $H$ be generated by $b$. We can show $NK= G$, i.e every element in G can be wrriten like $a^k b^l $. So for this method, we just need to show $ab=ba$ (remember, these are not general elements in the set, but the generators of $N$ and $H$).   Do any of these methods seem viable? I understand one can give very strong theorems using Sylow theorems and related facts, but I am looking for an elementary solution (no Sylow theorems, facts about p-groups, centrailzers) but definitions of centres and normalizers is fine. Format not available in tag wiki excerpt For example, :   Format like bold or italic are not available , so it leaves ugly text there:  **This tag is *extremely* ambiguous. Consider using other tags instead.**    Does this need to get fixed, or it's not supported and the tag-wiki needs to be format-free? Training on the full dataset after cross-validation? TL:DR: Is it ever a good idea to train an ML model on all the data available before shipping it to production? Put another way, is it ever ok to train on all data available and not check if the model overfits, or get a final read of the expected performance of the model?    Say I have a family of models parametrized by $\alpha$. I can do a search (e.g. a grid search) on $\alpha$ by, for example, running k-fold cross-validation for each candidate.   The point of using cross-validation for choosing $\alpha$ is that I can check if a learned model $\beta_i$ for that particular $\alpha_i$ had e.g. overfit, by testing it on the "unseen data" in each CV iteration (a validation set). After iterating through all $\alpha_i$'s, I could then choose a model $\beta_{\alpha^*}$ learned for the parameters $\alpha^*$ that seemed to do best on the grid search, e.g. on average across all folds.  Now, say that after model selection I would like to use all the the data that I have available in an attempt to ship the best possible model in production.  For this, I could use the parameters $\alpha^*$ that I chose via grid search with cross-validation, and then, after training the model on the full ($F$) dataset, I would a get a single new learned model $\beta^{F}_{\alpha^*}$   The problem is that, if I use my entire dataset for training,  I can't reliably check if this new learned model $\beta^{F}_{\alpha^*}$ overfits or how it may perform on unseen data. So is this at all good practice? What is a good way to think about this problem? System.Exception: Too many SOQL queries: 101 My ceiling fixture has all of a sudden stopped working properly. Half the diodes are dark and the others are blinking. Oddly, the same exact ones on each strip work and don't work. I have included a picture to show which ones are blinking and which ones don't work. I am wondering if it is something that I can fix? Maybe replace that driver? And if so, is there a good guide online to walk me through that process? Thanks in advance. We can easily find out if the vectors are dependent or not by finding determinant of matrices formed from the vectors. But if the matrix is not a square matrix, we cannot find the determinant. Then how do we know if the vectors are linearly independent? Insert missing dates within table I have a table with a column for ID, Date and Frequency of occurrence for that particular date and ID.  ID    date          Frequency 1     2014-05-18      5 1     2014-05-19      4 1     2014-05-20      25 2     2014-05-20      7 3     2014-05-18      4 3     2014-05-20      1 4     2014-05-18      6   I'm looking to insert the dates for each ID that aren't currently there (assuming that the date ranges from 2014-05-18 to 2014-05-20) and add a value of 0 in Frequency for those.  For example, you can see that  ID 1 has an observation for all three dates;  ID 2 is missing 2014-05-18 and 2014-05-19;   ID 3 is missing 2014-05-19;   ID 4 is missing 2014-05-19 and 2014-05-20.  Therefore, the output should look like this  ID    date          Frequency 1     2014-05-18      5 1     2014-05-19      4 1     2014-05-20      25 2     2014-05-18      0 2     2014-05-19      0 2     2014-05-20      7 3     2014-05-18      4 3     2014-05-19      0 3     2014-05-20      1 4     2014-05-18      6 4     2014-05-19      0 4     2014-05-20      0   I've attempted the following from . However, that will only add dates with 0 Frequency that aren't present throughout the entire table instead of on an ID level.   DECLARE @s DATE = '20140518', @e DATE = '20140520';  SELECT c.date, Frequency = COALESCE(a.Frequency,0) FROM dbo.Calendar AS c LEFT OUTER JOIN dbo.table AS a ON c.date = s.[date] WHERE c.d &gt;= @s AND c.d &lt; DATEADD(DAY, 1, @e); SCJP6 regex issue TTY doesn't wait for password I upgraded from 16.04 to 18.04. When I press Ctrl+Alt+F3 I get the terminal which prompts for the username. When I type my username and press Enter, it doesn't wait for my password (its as if I pressed Enter without entering anything). Even if I enter something, the text shown in plaintext and then it keeps on saying my password is wrong. After few times, the screen is cleared and it prompts for my username again and the same loop goes on. My interest in Blender comes from wanting to use it to model physical structures and produce architectural drawings; what I have so far is really impressive, but there doesn't seem to be too much information about my particular interest.   Are there any (Blender-) resources that would be particularly useful for architects? E.g. packages of standard 'elements' like windows, doors, roofs or whatever, or perhaps a discussion group specifically for architects? Why is integration so much harder than differentiation? Intel HD Graphics 620: Does my display adapter support HDMI 2.0 necessary for a 4k display? I want to connect my laptop (Inspiron 15 5000 Series) to a 4k display. When I read online about this it seems that HDMI 2.0 is a necessaity to handle the large resolutions / refresh rates involved to get full benefits of a 4k display.  Use case: I'm not going to use this to play games. Most of my use-case is editing documents, emails, spreadsheets and some engineering drawings and video (watching not editing).   The goal behind going 4k is to boost productivity by having more things open at once to read side by side.   I looked into the Dell specs and they only mention an HDMI without going into the details of what type or whether it will support HDMI 2.0 / 4K TV.     How do I tell whether my Dell Inspiron Laptop (i7 7500 U processor) supports this?  I looked under the Display Adapters and can see that I have an "Intel HD Graphics 620"  listed.   Will this suffice to tell me if this display adapter will support HDMI 2.0 / 4k display?   Or should I be checking out some other settings?  Thanks! Is there a canonical explanation for how Ant-Man's weight works when he shrinks down that's consistent with the various events depicted in the film?    I think the explanation given in the film is roughly "the suit compresses the space in-between atoms, so your size decreases, your density increases, and your total mass stays the same", however it seems to be portrayed in contradictory ways.  For instance:   He can float in water, and even be sent shooting through the air by a relatively gentle flow of water filling a bathtub.  This wouldn't happen if he retained his original mass, as he'd essentially be the densest thing on the planet and should sink like a stone even in a vat of molten lead. Upon landing after being ejected from the bathtub, the ceramic tile underneath him shatters.  That takes a significant amount of force, and similar effects are used at other points in the movie where he falls onto (or straight through) various things. He's able to get sucked into a vacuum-cleaner.  One that didn't even appear to be a high-end, extra powerful vacuum-cleaner, let alone one capable of sucking up a 200 pound piece of dust.   He can run along the barrel of a gun as someone shoots it, apparently without causing them to drop the weapon or even have trouble continuing to aim it.     Does a more consistent explanation exist in other media, that would fit with the above examples?  Or is this simply a case of the power being made to do whatever happened to be most convenient at the time? Irreducible conics An algebraic set (not necessairly a variety) $X \subseteq \mathbb{A}^2$ defined by a polynomial of degree $2$ is called a conic.  The problem is:     Show that any irreducible conic is isomorphic either to $Z(y-x^2)$ or to $Z(xy-1)$ after an affine change of coordinates in $\mathbb{A}^2$.   However, with this definition of conic, I only can conclude that if the polynomial is irreducible, then the conic is irreducible (because $f$ irreducible $\Rightarrow Z(f)=X$ is irreducible)     What can I do to prove that if a conic is irreducible, then the polynomial that defines the conic is irreducible?   And for the main problem, how can I do the affine change of coordinates?  Thanks I am about to start a web project and have been working almost exclusively with a LAMP stack for the past 5 years.  I would like to build something larger and more scalable and hence have been looking into Java EE.  The division of logic between JSP and EJB seems ideal for what I want to do.  Can anyone recommend resources for getting familiar with Java EE?  And perhaps if anyone knows of technologies that are more scalable than PHP that I should consider as well, I'm all ears.  Thanks a lot! Solving $(z+1)^5 = z^5$ Why does an object with a glossy shader render in black? When I apply a glossy shader to the material of my text, the text becomes just black. Why?    I have lamp and everything, but the problem persists. The text is red before I add the glossy shader.  I'm using Cycles render.   Thanks!
