"physical block size is 2048 bytes, but Linux says it is 512" when formatting USB - How to create a bootable USB without this error
How can I test for POSIX compliance of shell scripts? Considering that POSIX is the closest thing to a common standard among all unices, I'm interested in knowing if there's a shell that supports it exclusively. While most modern shells provide support for POSIX (and will run POSIX compliant scripts without any problem), they don't do a good job at pointing out non compliant features.  Is there any shell that implements POSIX and POSIX only, in such a way that it'd throw an error for any non compliant feature?  EDIT I want to clarify that I'm not asking for general tips for writing portable shell scripts. The related question mentionned in the comments already covered this. I thought of this question when I found out that bash has a --posix option but only to discover that it only affects some intialization behaviors which is not exactly what I'm looking for. Travelling to Italy without my spouse who is a UK citizen How do I get a straight quote instead of curly quotes? I’m not inside verb or listing or any other special environments, and I’m not using XeLaTeX or anything—just normal LaTeX. I don’t want to change all quotes, just get the occasional straight quote. For example, I’d like a way to get something like this in the TeX:  ... some examples of these glyphs are curly quotes (``''), straight quotes ('"), and angled quotes ($'$$"$) ...   to look like this in the output:  ... some examples of these glyphs are curly quotes (“”), straight quotes ('"), and angled quotes (′″) ...   As I’m using an academic-publisher-provided template that does its own required font setup, I’m extremely wary of changing fonts or font encodings. I think the template uses the times package, and the formatting instructions say all fonts must be Type 1. The question is to calculate the radius of convergence of $\sum\limits_{n=0}^\infty n!x^{n^2}$.  I dont know how to calculate R.O.C for such type of questions involving $n^2$ as power of x. How do we do this? Any help appreciated. Height of Water 'Splashing' Suppose from a height $H$, I throw a ball of mass $M$ and radius $R$ with initial velocity $u$ into a pool of depth $x$ having a liquid with density $\rho$ and coefficient of viscosity $\eta$.  Upto what height will the Water Splash?   This may be a silly question! (Source : my brain) Assume every condition to be identical with no air resistance. Feel free to assume any other parameters if needed.  P.S. $\rightarrow$ I've see similar questions but some of them want an exact answer and some are not so direct while some are incomplete questions...  Small Note : We do not have to consider the highest 'single' drop... Just assuming almost every water droplet jumped upto a height $h$. Ideal conditions...  Feel free to assume the liquid as WATER if required! Formatting datetime2 in LaTex to 4th September, 2016 without the current day? I'm currently using  \usepackage[UKenglish]{babel} \usepackage{datetime}   and I'm getting  Sunday 4th September, 2016  with the commands \today or with \newdate{example}{01}{09}{2016} (outside of \begin{document}) and \displaydate{example} inside the document.  How can I reformat this date to not have the name of the day in it (Best would be with using datetime2)? So like 4th September, 2016. With the "th" as a high letter like this:   Full document example:  \documentclass[a4paper, 12pt, DIV=calc, headings=small]{scrreprt} %Used packages \usepackage[UKenglish]{babel} \usepackage[utf8]{luainputenc} \usepackage{datetime}  %Other definitions \pagenumbering{arabic}  \newdate{sample}{31}{01}{2017}   \begin{document} \displaydate{sample}\\ \today \end{document} Word for "willing to try new and unfamiliar things" Example:  A: Hey, do you like to do bungee jumping? B: Um, OK. Haven't done it before, but let's try it.  I'm not looking for adventurous or something similar. That word should also fit in less action-packed activities:  A: I have a new board game. Do you like to play? B: I don't know this game and, actually, I don't like these varieties of games but I'll play. Maybe it's fun.  First I thought about open-minded but I think this means more willing to listen to people, think about their ideas, arguments, ... and accept them (not necessarily agree). What word describes person who is willing to try activities he doesn't know or hasn't experienced before? Show $\inf_f\int_0^1|f'(x)-f(x)|dx=1/e$ for continuously differentiable functions with $f(0)=0$, $f(1)=1$. Let $C$ be the class of all real-valued continuously differentiable functions $f$ on the interval $[0,1]$ with $f(0)=0$ and $f(1)=1$. How to show that $$\inf_{f\in C}\int_0^1|f'(x)-f(x)|dx=\frac{1}{e}?$$  I have been able to show that $1/e$ is a lower bound. Indeed, $$\begin{align*} \int_0^1|f'(x)-f(x)|dx &amp;= \int_0^1|f'(x)e^{-x}-f(x)e^{-x}|e^xdx \\ &amp;\geq \int_0^1\left(f'(x)e^{-x}-f(x)e^{-x}\right) dx \\ &amp;= \int_0^1 \frac{d\left(f(x)e^{-x}\right)}{dx}dx  \\ &amp;= f(1)e^{-1}-f(0)e^{0}\\ &amp;=\frac{1}{e}. \end{align*}$$ But how to show this is the infimum? Is there a function $f\in C$ such that we get $\int_0^1|f'(x)-f(x)|dx=1/e$? why $1+\frac{1}{1+\frac{1}{\frac{1}{1+\dots}}}$ cannot be equal to $\frac{1-\sqrt{5}}{2}$  I know that some of you will answer because it is positive.I know it but I don't know how to prove it.Maybe the second part is positive how do you know that?Thanks in advance. Is it true that a dihedral group is nonabelian? Is it true that a dihedral group is nonabelian?  I'm not sure if the result is true. I checked it for some lower order and I think the result may correct.   But I failed to prove/disprove the result. Defining the appropriate Projected Coordinate System I'm fitting a multiple linear regression model between 4 categorical variables (with 4 levels each) and a numerical output. My dataset has 43 observations.  Regression gives me the following $p$-values from the $t$-test for every slope coefficient: $.15, .67, .27, .02$. Thus, the coefficient for the 4th predictor is significant at $\alpha = .05$ confidence level.  On the other hand, the regression gives me a $p$-value from an overall $F$-test of the null hypothesis that all my slope coefficients are equal to zero. For my dataset, this $p$-value is $.11$.  My question: how should I interpret these results? Which $p$-value should I use and why? Is the coefficient for the 4th variable significantly different from $0$ at the $\alpha = .05$ confidence level?  I've seen a related question, , but there was an opposite situation: high $t$-test $p$-values and low $F$-test $p$-value. Honestly, I don't quite understand why we would need an $F$-test in addition to a $t$-test to see if linear regression coefficients are significantly different from zero.

In my dataset we have both continuous and naturally discrete variables. I want to know whether we can do hierarchical clustering using both type of variables. And if yes, what distance measure is appropriate? Can't unhide grayed out objects After some searching on stack / google I decided to ask this here, this is the second time I'm facing this issue this time with blender 2.8, previously with 2.7 and without a clue to how I got here.  Some of my objects appear hidden(10/12), and I can't seem to find a way to unhide them.  Solutions to the most common rookie mistakes seems to be   In local-view solved by pressing numpad / hidden by pressing H or Shift + H, unhiding with Alt + H   I'm not in local view, I can toggle visibility for 2/12 objects with Shift + H &amp; Alt + H, but the rest stays gray in the collection.  Last time I solved this by exporting the whole model as STL and importing it back again, I then had to re-group all the pieces but there must be a more simple solution.  Here's the .blend if someone wants to have a go at it: The median minimizes the sum of absolute deviations (the $ {\ell}_{1} $ norm) Suppose we have a set $S$ of real numbers. Show that   $$\sum_{s\in S}|s-x| $$   is minimal if $x$ is equal to the median.    This is a sample exam question of one of the exams that I need to take and I don't know how to proceed. What is a 'Closure'? I asked a question about Currying and closures were mentioned. What is a closure? How does it relate to currying? How can a question be tagged with a tag synonym? The question  seems to be tagged with , which, last I checked, is a synonym of . How is it possible that a question can be tagged with a synonym? Don't synonyms automatically get replaced on questions? Grey out all unused vote buttons on old elections I'm hoping this is a &quot;quick fix&quot;, but it's far from a priority. A small change might help a lot here. I got some egg on my face yesterday when I . A new user thought the same thing and had asked in chat. It turns out that's by design  Look at the candidates you voted for. The '1st', '2nd' and '3rd' choice buttons look different there; here are the buttons on the candidate I voted for as second choice:  Unless I get shown a candidate I did vote for, my screen looks like this  While voted candidates show like this (note 1st and 3rd are greyed out)  I would like to see all the buttons, save ones I used to vote for, shown as greyed out. It would make it visually obvious that one cannot cast a new vote.
