Conditional ORDER BY clause on an Entity Framework context
ascending/descending in LINQ - can one change the order via parameter?
I would like to know if the same Minecraft account used on a computer can be used on a different platform like the Xbox 360? I am not asking about playing on each simultaneously as each platform has been purchased - I am asking if you can cross play on multiple platforms with the same account. Basically I would like to know if all the saved stuff and settings from one platform will carry over to another. What is the easiest way to find and replace text in 20 text files in a directory? I have 20 text files with various extensions in a directory.  I want to replace "nnn" with "ooo" in all files.  I could import them into a project in Eclipse or Visual Studio to replace them all but that is overkill and would add other meta files etc.  What is a simple way to do this, I'm thinking: select all files, right click, choose some tool called (e.g. "QuickReplacer") and fill in find and replace, click and done.  Does anyone know of a tool like this? I upgraded my Mega Ring and have been looking for Mega Stones, and I found . However, the Mega Stone isn't in the place it's supposed to be, and I'm sure the location is right. Why isn't my Mega Stone here? When should "no problem" replace "you're welcome" as a response to "thank you"?

So I'm trying again to understand how to solve these babies... Here it is:  $$ 3a_{n+1}-4a_n=0, n&gt;=0, a_1=5 $$  What is the general process for solving a relation like this? Do you need to submit an itinerary to get a Russian visa? And do you have to stick to it? Do spells with a range of "Self" target the caster? New to D&amp;D, and thought about creating a Beast Master. I was wondering if spells with a range of "Self" would count you as the "target" of the spell. There's some debate in my group, as unlike something such as Cure Wounds, which specifies "A creature you touch," there's technically no mention of a target in a Self range spell within the description. A fair amount of people in my playgroup come from a TCG background, where the presence (or lack thereof) of keywords like "target" are essential for determining interaction.  tl;dr Would Paladin Smites or Thunderwave count as "targeting" yourself, and therefore be affected by Beast Master's Share Spell? Why does Type I error always occur in a NHST? Or, is NHST too weak to tell the truth? Recently I have noticed that Type I error of a test is too much persistent. Even if all the values are almost equal (variance is extremely low) and tested to that value (true mean), still there is nearly 5% Type I error of the test. I am frightened and curious to rethink, are the people who have banned (or skeptic about) NHST (null hypothesis significance testing) truly correct? Let's have a look at the following r code:       n=10000 t1err=0 set.seed(1235) for (i in 1:n){    x=rnorm(100, 10, 20)    if (((t.test(x, mu=10))$p.value)&lt;=0.05) (t1err=t1err+1)  } cat("Type I error rate in percentage is", (t1err/n)*100,"%")   It will produce roughly 5% as Type I error. Seems ok. But let's see this:      n=10000   t1err=0   set.seed(1235)   for (i in 1:n){      x=rnorm(100, 10, 0.000001)      if (((t.test(x, mu=10))$p.value)&lt;=0.05) (t1err=t1err+1)    }   cat("Type I error rate in percentage is", (t1err/n)*100,"%")   Each values are extremely close to 10. Still it produces about 5% Type I error. What conclusion we may draw from it? Or, am I missing something?
