How can I support different resolutions with Monogame?
How do I make a 2D game resolution independent?
Given a Java InputStream, how can I determine the current offset in the stream? A story about a whole crew of aliens who visit Earth, befriend a child It was a book I read when I was a kid, so I am assuming it was a book aimed at kids/young adults. A whole crew of aliens of different species meet an Earth kid. He befriends them. One of the aliens comes from a planet with dozens/hundreds of different sexes/genders. At one point, the Earth kid is talking about a swamp:  Alien: &quot;I live in/near a swamp on my home planet&quot; Kid: &quot;Oh, do you come from a swamp planet?&quot;  The alien points out that just because there is a swamp on his planet doesn't make it a swamp planet, there are dozens of biomes on his planet, just like Earth. Earth isn't just a swamp planet. Simple georeferenced 3D data format for building models When I start a sentence with words like "someone" or "somebody", I don't know how to choose the right pronoun at the end of the sentence.  Examples:      If anybody asks you about the money, tell (Him - Her - It - Them) that it is in my bank account.     I felt that somebody was in the garden but I did not see (Him - Her - It - Them).     Speaker 1: A friend of mine helped me a lot.      Speaker 2: You should thank (Him - Her - It - Them).     Congratulations on your new baby! What's (His - Her - Its - Their) name?    Those are the cases or situations that I can think of. If you have any other different situations, please let me know. A calculus problem with functions such that $f''(x) = g(x)$ and $g''(x) = f(x)$ Why does the series $\sum_{n=1}^\infty\frac1n$ not converge? Can someone give a simple explanation as to why the       $$\sum_{n=1}^\infty\frac1n=\frac 1 1 + \frac 12 + \frac 13 + \cdots $$   doesn't converge, on the other hand it grows very slowly?   I'd prefer an easily comprehensible explanation rather than a rigorous proof regularly found in undergraduate textbooks. Why was my flag declined? I've recently flagged the following , which I got in the flag queue.   The answer does not seem to attempt to address the question at all. It looks like a comment on one of the other answers (probably Luca's).  It got rejected with the following reason:  declined - flags should not be used to indicate technical inaccuracies,            or an altogether wrong answer   I did not flag this because I thought it was wrong, I flagged it because I didn't think it was an attempt to answer the question. For what it's worth, I don't get what the guy who provided that answer even tried to say.  Was I wrong to flag it? If so why? How do I test a nonlinear association? For plot 1, I can test the association between x and y by doing a simple correlation.   For plot 2, where the relationship is nonlinear yet there is a clear relation between x and y, how can I test the association and label its nature? New database server hardware and software inserts slower than old setup What if the universe is rotating as a whole? I know this has probably been asked before, but I couldn't find it with Google.   Given   Linux Kernel No configurations that change $HOME bash   Will ~ == $HOME be true? I searched all over this site and the web for a good and simple example of autocomplete using jQuery and ASP.NET. I wanted to expose the data used by autocomplete with a webservice (and will probably do that next). In the meantime, I got this working, but it seems a little hacky...  In my page I have a text box:  &lt;input id="txtSearch" type="text" /&gt;   I am using jQuery autocomplete, set up per their example:  &lt;link rel="stylesheet" href="js/jquery.autocomplete.css" type="text/css" /&gt; &lt;script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery.bgiframe.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt; &lt;script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery.dimensions.pack.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt; &lt;script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery.autocomplete.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;   Here is where it starts to get hacky... I call a page instead of a webservice:    &lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;     $(document).ready(function(){         $("#txtSearch").autocomplete('autocompletetagdata.aspx');     });         &lt;/script&gt;   In the page I stripped out ALL of the html and just have this (otherwise, various HTML bits show up in the autocomplete dropdown):  &lt;%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="autocompletetagdata.aspx.cs" Inherits="autocompletetagdata" %&gt;   And in my autocompletetagdata.aspx, I am using SubSonic to query, format and return data from the database (one data item per line):  protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) {     // Note the query strings passed by jquery autocomplete:     //QueryString: {q=a&amp;limit=150&amp;timestamp=1227198175320}      LookupTagCollection tags = Select.AllColumnsFrom&lt;LookupTag&gt;()         .Top(Request.QueryString["limit"])         .Where(LookupTag.Columns.TagDescription).Like(Request.QueryString["q"] + "%")         .OrderAsc(LookupTag.Columns.TagDescription)         .ExecuteAsCollection&lt;LookupTagCollection&gt;();      StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();      foreach (LookupTag tag in tags)     {         sb.Append(tag.TagDescription).Append("\n");     }      Response.Write(sb.ToString()); }   If you don't do a LIKE query, then it returns everything that contains a match for the character(s) you type -- e.g., typing "a" will include "Ask" and "Answer" as well as "March" and "Mega." I just wanted it to do a starts with match.  Anyway, it works and it's pretty easy to set up, but is there a better way? Beginner here with an issue on a simple presentation using beamer  \documentclass{beamer}  \begin{document} \begin{frame}   \tau \epsilon \chi \end{frame} \end{document}   The above fails with the message "! Missing $ inserted." and waits for me to do something when converting to pdf. I have tried adding the instruction \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} and also \usepackage[greek]{babel}. I have not seen references either to needing to use any other package. What is exactly I am missing? Discrete Probability: Four dice are thrown, what's the probability that... Four dice are thrown, what's the probability that:  a) None of them fall higher than three?  b) None of them fall higher than four?  c) That four is the highest number thrown?  So for a, I wanna think about the denominator first. There are 6 possible outcomes for each dice, and we have four dice. So we're technically picking r out of n objects, aka picking 4 possible values out of 6. So the denominator/sample space should be $6^4$ right?  Now this is where I'm getting tripped up. Order technically shouldn't count, because we only care about the quadruplets that don't have a value higher than 3. I might be wrong, maybe I am, but could someone explain a bit more? My professor stated that typically in the sample space/denominator, we want order to count.   So I'm trying to think of the numerator now, so we want to find the probability that no values appear higher than 3, so some events that can occur are: $(1, 1, 2, 3), (1, 2, 2, 3), (1, 1, 1, 1)$ etc. Again, I can't see why order should count here, because if we only are concerned about what appears rather than how they appear, then we can say $(1, 1, 2, 3)$ is equal to $(1, 2, 1, 3)$? So if order does not count, and we have replacement, then does this lead the case where we use $$\binom{n-1+r}{r}$$to find out the probability?   I'm pretty sure if I can do a), I could prob do b), but if someone could maybe lead me in the right direction for c) I would appreciate that too! Accessing Email logs using REST or SOQL How can I do a full shutdown of windows 10 without logging in? I have a computer with both Windows 10 and Ubuntu 17.04 installed on it. I can't log in to Windows, and think it's a problem with the registry. Luckily, there is a way to restore the registry from backup from Ubuntu, but you have to be able to modify files on the Windows partition. Right now, I can't write to the NTFS partition because Windows didn't do a full shutdown.  How can I force windows 10 to do a full shutdown without being able to log in? I understand that the Bernoulli effect is a flawed explanation for the cause of lift, and does not cause much at all, but how much?   Is there any experimental data on the force caused by the Bernoulli effect? Maybe implicitly through data of the pressure difference between the top and underside of an aeroplane's wings. After that, I assume I could (crudely approximating the pressure to be acting perpendicularly to the flight direction) use $\Delta P A$ to work out the net force on the plane.    Perhaps there is another way to quantitatively analyse the extent to which the Bernoulli effect causes lift.  Edit: see  short cartoon (content similar to Mike Dunlavey's answer). For some reason, when I try to run any programs (I am trying to run a rootkit hunter: rkhunter) as root on the command line with sudo like this:  sudo rkhunter   Then I get this message:  You must be the root user to run this program   and then I get these lines:  sudo: error in /etc/sudo.conf, line 0 while loading plugin 'sudoers_policy' sudo: /usr/lib/sudo/sudoers.so must only be writable by owner sudo: fatal error, unable to load plugins   I try typing in just sudo but that comes up with the same three errors as above. Also in /etc/ sudo.conf does not exist.  I cannot run any other programs as root through sudo. It was also strange because I could run as root a day ago. I would like it to work.  Just so you know, I am the only user of this computer, and the administrator, running Lubuntu 14.04.1. Change MySQL default character set to UTF-8 in my.cnf? I have a lot of 3D objects of various sizes, shapes in blender 2.76b and I would like to set the origin to the bottom center of the objects bounds.  I cannot select the bottom edge and snap to cursor etc as each shapes edges are in different X/Y positions.  Is there a script or tool that will allow me to set the origin to the lowest edge z position?
