Close and flag links do nothing on mobile site Is there a name for this layout? what is this() ? can it have multiple parameters? Setting up SFTP to log in to server with Filezilla I have an ec2 instance on AWS which already installed a few Wordpress-es in it.  I want to set things up to let more people handle their own projects, with me also being able to go into the server using terminal if I still want to.  I have been following tutorials such as  and a few others.  I figured all of them just teach users how to sftp into their own home folder, also the steps keep saying addUser but some users already existed and removing them might cause some issue.  How can I give existing users the permission to use SFTP for Wordpress projects?  Let's say all my Wordpress projects are already under /var/www/ which has already been set up with www-data:www-data.  Really new with setting things like this.  Thanks in advance for any help. Photoshop layers into SVG paths Starting with the episode "Crossroads Part II" the      final five Cylons begin to hear Bob Dylan's "All Along the Watchtower" in their heads.   Have the creators/writers ever stated why they picked that song in particular and what it might mean to the story? Best practice for typesetting quantifiers? When I work with quantifiers I noted that are very close to the other symbols and the result does not look good, for example  $\exists a\in\mathbb{R}\exists b\in\mathbb{R}\forall c\in\mathbb{R}\forall d\in\mathbb{R}$   Which is the proper form to write quantifiers? Should I use the past tense with did? Should I use the past tense with did? For example, I was to say:     The important question is: Did they knew what it means or not?   Or should I say:     The important question is: Did they know what it means or not?   In other words: Should I use past tense with did?  I looked at this:    but it didn't really answer my question. Questions about    setting environment variables the PATH   are very common here, and in most cases the answers are very similar to each other. In the future it would be nice to have a good Q/A for this.  So the question is: What are environment variables, like the executable PATH, and how can I change and use them on major operating systems?  A good answer would include a simple explanation of what environment variables and especially PATH mean to the OS, as well as simple guidelines on how to set and read them accordingly. Satisfying explanation of Aristotle's Wheel Paradox. The paradox:    We have a circle and there is another circle with smaller radius. They are co-centeric.  If circle make full turn without sliding, both smaller and bigger circle make full turn too. If we assume that the passed road is equal to the circumference of circles. We have got smaller circle's radius is equal to bigger one's.  Unsatisfying Solutions I found:    "Do not assume that smaller circle's circumference is equal to passed road since the surface that contacts to the ground is bigger one. " // Okey but it does not explain the paradox, it explains just what is the wrong assumption (even does not explain why it is a wrong assumption.) It is undeniable that every point on both smaller and bigger circle will contact exactly one and only one point on their path. Therefore we can think that this is a bijective maps and smaller circle is isomorphic to bigger one. (Okey but ....)   Question: What is the true answer? What is wrong with the definition of circumference of a circle and relationship with its taken path. I've got some photos with quite random names, but the dates (not exif, but when they were last edited) are correct. I'd like to rename them in that order, preferably so that the first photo is named 1.jpg and so on, but anything goes. How can I do that? I found this problem on a well-known problem solving website. It is apparently from Ramanujan.     With   $$\LARGE{a = \frac{1}{1 + \frac{e^{-2\pi}}{1 + \frac{e^{-4\pi}}{1 + \ddots}}}},$$   what is $a$?   The basic methods I know for questions of this type were not helpful to me.  I do not require a full solution, but feel free to post one if you would like. Hints or lecture notes on how to solve problems of this nature would be appreciated.   Keep in mind that I am at an undergraduate level in mathematics.

This is something like [0.1, 0.4, 0.2, 0.3] for X being a value of either 1, 2, 3, 4.  Is it possible to sample from this distribution, i.e. generate pseudo random numbers upon each of the possible outcomes given the probability of that outcome. So if I wanted to know what the probability of getting a 2 is, the sampling operation may return 0.34 or something like that.  The reason I ask is that I'm trying to implement an action selection policy for a reinforcement learning method based on a research paper. From what I gather from the paper, the author is able to sample the distribution by "mapping the uniform distribution U[0,1] through cumulative probability density functions obtained by adaptive numerical integration". From this he then samples the transition probabilities for each trial...  I would be grateful for any info on this...  Thanks in advance I have this really hard problem that I am working on and I just don't seem to get it. The question is: let $n$ be a positive integer; prove that there does not exist any integer $m$ such that $3n^2+3n+7=m^3$.  Please explain in detail otherwise I might not understand. I am also open for any methods that might help. Thank you. Please help. How to convert mediawiki syntax to latex? Not getting email alerts on answers on Stack Overflow Not getting email alerts on answers on my questions on stackoverflow.com   Used to get it earlier (>1 month back), but not getting alerts in recent times Email field in profile is filled  In prefs, "I'd like email notifications of activity on questions I've asked" is ticked.

I don't need a recommendation or a list but my knowledge of GPS and "navi"s and the differences between them is an utter mystery to me.  But often I'm lost in backstreets in random countries where access to something like a live Google Maps would be awesome. I absolutely cannot afford a smartphone with worldwide roaming though.  Can GPS's do what I want or am I barking up the wrong tree? If they can is it only high end ones than can?
