Err:39 + getdeb while upgrading and updating
What should I do when the GETDEB repository is down?
"Not with a whimper, but with a roar of triumph!" Looking for the title of an old sci-fi book, pretty sure it is a Baen or Del Rey imprint. Basically, mankind has reached the stars and expanded throughout the galaxy. Suddenly, an unknown race appears and begins a war of extermination against man. Finally, the galaxy is desolate, and one man remains. He is in a starship with an AI and becomes injured in the battle.  The ship's AI takes over and speeds out into the unknown, followed by the last remaining member of the unknown alien race. As all speeds are at tremendous multiples of the speed of light, the man cannot get away, but the alien cannot catch up.  Finally, communication is opened, at which point the man asks "why?" The alien tells him that man had discovered immortality, but that it required the death of a member of a race known as the Flower People for every human who achieved immortality. The alien says that Man would have found the answer eventually, but that genocide was so intolerable that the aliens came from another dimension, to which they could never return, to stop Man, which resulted in the war of extermination.  Finally, the light speeds become so great that the two remaining living beings in the universe approach the Big Crunch. As the Man begins to dive into the singularity, with the alien hot on his heels, he says that maybe there will be room in the next universe for both races to live in peace, and the final line is "not with a whimper, but with a roar of triumph"! Why does shell Command Substitution gobble up a trailing newline char? As per the following example, and as in  In bash, where has the trailing newline char gone?, I want to know "why" it happens    x="$(echo -ne "a\nb\n")" ; echo -n "$x" | xxd -p  # Output is: 610a62  # The trailing newline from the 'echo' command #   has been "deleted" by Command Substitution   I assume there must be some very significant reason for a shell action, namely Command Substitution, to actually delete some data from the command output it is substituting... but I can't get my head around this one, as it seems to be the antithesis of what it is supposed to do.. ie. to pass the output of a command back into the script process... Holding back one character seems weird to me, but I suppose there is a sensible reason for it...  I'm keen to find out what that reason is... How to add multiple relative hyperlinks to single point in ArcGIS for Desktop with Basic level license? A question about long exact sequence of finite dim vector spaces What price should I charge for design services? I was hoping I would find some people in the industry that could help me decide what's the best price to charge to design (in this case) business cards.  What are standard prices for professional designers?  From a firm point of view? From a freelancer?  I don't want to overcharge clients but I don't want to ruin the industry by underselling my services. How to remove shortcut key for Unity , which is "Meta" key on keyboard I need to be able to merge two (very simple) JavaScript objects at runtime.  For example I'd like to:  var obj1 = { food: 'pizza', car: 'ford' } var obj2 = { animal: 'dog' }  obj1.merge(obj2);  //obj1 now has three properties: food, car, and animal   Does anyone have a script for this or know of a built in way to do this?  I do not need recursion, and I do not need to merge functions, just methods on flat objects. How to prove or disprove statements about sets Prove or disprove:  The set: $\{ \emptyset\}^{\Bbb N}$ has only one element.  The set $\emptyset^{\Bbb N}$ is empty.    I'm pretty sure both are true, for 1. all the natural numbers go to the empty set and that is the only element. Where as 2. all the natural numbers go to nothing so that's why it's empty. (Same as $ {\Bbb N}^{\emptyset} $ nothing goes to something is nothing (I think)). The problem is I have no idea how to show this so advice would be appreciated.  Edit: My defintion of a function is: $f:B\to A$ if  $(a_1,b),(a_2,b)\in f \ \Rightarrow \ a_1=a_2$ So for 2. I can simply say that: $(1,\emptyset),(2,\emptyset)\in f \Rightarrow a_1\neq a_2$  ? Why is unity feedback used? Stack Exchange iOS app crashes on start Upon clicking on SE icon, blue (starting) screen appears and then I am back to home screen, SE app simply won't start. This kind of behaviour never happened before (on any other app). I tried to remove it from &quot;task manager&quot;, reinstalling and logging back in; neither did work. In Settings -&gt; Stack Exchange -&gt; Notices I found a log message:  FILE DOESN'T EXIST, WILL CREATE: users/dev/buildagent/work/{id}/pods/target support files/pods/pods-ack...plist   App Version: 1.4.0 Device: iPhone7,2 OS Version: Version 9.1 (Build 13B143)   TLDR: app starts when cellphone has no internet access. I just noticed when I am on 3G (cellular internet) it crashes ASAP, but when I am on wifi that has no internet (for LAN etc.) app starts normally but no new content, when I turn off WiFi and iPhone switches to cellular; app crashes. Note: I turn off WiFi using control center - so I never leave the app. Another thing, when I force iPhone to use EDGE (slowest possible internet) app starts, and crashes after 5 seconds or so. I assume when app downloads some data from server.  Known workaround (works for me too)  I found a workaround: turn on Airplane Mode, launch the app, then turn Airplane Mode off. – NobodyNada Extruding surface while keeping the shape here is the picture of what I would like to get(example nr. 2). I need the edge frame to be same in width and length. Also the extrusion is on surface (without depth) I tried extruding region, but it did not give me the result I wanted.   I know I could just adjust the scale and do it manually, but that would be eyeballing without achievign accuracy. I would like to know if it is possible to extrude or inset while keeping the shape (even edge space) What's the batched Refactor Fields tool "field mapping" syntax in QGIS? In QGIS, there is this nice tool "Refactor Fields" in the Processing Toolbox :    Using it on a single layer is fairly straightforward.  However, when you plan on using it in a batch mode, one can see the "Fields mapping" textbox. I'm looking for an example of the syntax to be used there.  I haven't found any specific documentation yet. How do I view my whole character? I have played Oblivion and in Oblivion you can see your person on the menu screen. When I go into 3rd person all I see is their back. Is there any way I can see my whole character? Paperback novel about a man who kills a birdlike alien on his balcony with a watering can Maven project with native dependency and copying files What is the best solution for database connection pooling in python? I have developed some custom DAO-like classes to meet some very specialized requirements for my project that is a server-side process that does not run inside any kind of framework.    The solution works great except that every time a new request is made, I open a new connection via MySQLdb.connect.    What is the best "drop in" solution to switch this over to using connection pooling in python?  I am imagining something like the commons DBCP solution for Java.    The process is long running and has many threads that need to make requests, but not all at the same time... specifically they do quite a lot of work before brief bursts of writing out a chunk of their results.  Edited to add: After some more searching I found  which looks decent, but as I'm relatively new to python I guess I just want to make sure I'm not missing a more obvious/more idiomatic/better solution. self referential struct definition? I haven't been writing C for very long, and so I'm not sure about how I should go about doing these sorts of recursive things... I would like each cell to contain another cell, but I get an error along the lines of "field 'child' has incomplete type". What's up?  typedef struct Cell {   int isParent;   Cell child; } Cell; Can I connect to a sandbox using JWT Flow and Prod connect app? I'm trying to connect to a sandbox using the sfdx cli and the JWT flow through force:auth:jwt:grant. According to , we can use the same connected app information from Production to connect to our Scratch Org.  Is it something that should work for sandbox too ? I'm getting a "Failed: Not approved" error.  Connected app in sandbox comes from the refresh but has a different consumer key. The Permission set is set correctly on my user.  Is there a way to connect to a recently refreshed sandbox using the JWT flow (without manually changing something like the consumer key) ? Why would I buy a bond with a negative yield? The only reason that I can think of is because I expect the bond to appreciate in price thus offsetting the loss in yield. I could still end up with less money than I started with, if I hold the bond until maturity. Ultimately, the only scenario where I would want to buy a bond with a negative yield is because I anticipate deflation and even lower rates in the future. Is this correct, or is there another reason?  Currently, a lot of the global government bond market is trading on negative yield, and there are even some corporate bonds that are too. I'm going to submit form using cURL, where some of the contents is come from other file, selected using sed  If param1 is line matching pattern from other file using sed, below command will works fine:  curl -d param1="$(sed -n '/matchpattern/p' file.txt)" -d param2=value2 http://example.com/submit   Now, go to the problem. I want show only text between 2 matching pattern excluding the matching pattern itself.  Lets say file.txt contains:  Bla bla bla firstmatch It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. secondmatch The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English.   Currently, lots of "beetween 2 matching pattern" sed command won't remove firstmatch and secondmatch.  I want the result to become:  It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout.
