My Alt + Tab menu looks and works oddly
Why directory with large amounts of entries does not shrink in size after entries are removed? MathJax isn't currently working on the Android app, which makes it totally useless for the 'technical' sites like  or .  For example, in the Android app:    Same post in a (mobile) browser:     Please add this functionality! How to call gdal_translate from Python code? Is it possible to use some gdal API to call gdal_translate from Python code? I do not mean simply executing the gdal_translate.exe from the file system, but rather call it somehow in code so I do not need to know the exact directory the gdal_translate executable is in? What is the difference between Non-preemptive, Preemptive and Selective Preemptive Kernel? How to change the spacing between figures/tables and text? I was wondering if there is any way to lessen the spaces between figures and text. In my paper I have a lot of figures (graphics) and it is inconvenient for me to have default (large) spaces between text and graphics. Is there any command I could use to change the default settings? I recently came across an IE7 only bug that I thought I'd share so when I come to this site 6 months from now to figure out the same thing, I'll have it on hand.   I believe the easiest way to recreate this bug would be the following html in a page with a declared doctype (it works correctly in "quirks mode" / no-doctype):  &lt;div style="overflow: auto; height: 150px;"&gt;     &lt;div style="position: relative;"&gt;[...]&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;   In IE7, the outer div is a fixed size and the inner div is relatively positioned and contains more content (assuming the inner div causes an overflow). In all other browsers, this seems to work as expected.  Screenshot: Sum of binomial coefficients with index divisible by 4 I am trying to obtain a closed form expression for  $\sum {n \choose 4k}$  I am trying to use the binomial expansion of $(1 + i)^n$ and $(1 - i)^n$. $$(1 + i)^n + (1 - i)^n = 2\left(\sum {n \choose 4k} -\sum {n \choose 4k + 2}\right)$$ Stuck at this now. I can't come up with a way to simplify the second term on RHS. Any help would be appreciated. how long does the care take to reach the last pole algebra word problem There are 20 poles with a constant distance between each pole. A car takes 22 seconds to reach the 12th pole starting from the first pole, with a constant speed between each pole. how many seconds will it take to reach the last pole?   Is the answer 36 seconds?   since $\frac{22} {12}  = 1.83 $  $1.83 \times 20 = 36.67 $ Define a mathematical set Why does .NET use banker's rounding as default? According to the documentation, the  method uses a round-to-even algorithm which is not common for most applications. So I always end up writing a custom function to do the more natural round-half-up algorithm:  public static decimal RoundHalfUp(this decimal d, int decimals) {     if (decimals &lt; 0)     {         throw new ArgumentException("The decimals must be non-negative",              "decimals");     }      decimal multiplier = (decimal)Math.Pow(10, decimals);     decimal number = d * multiplier;      if (decimal.Truncate(number) &lt; number)     {         number += 0.5m;     }     return decimal.Round(number) / multiplier; }   Does anybody know the reason behind this framework design decision?  Is there any built-in implementation of the round-half-up algorithm into the framework? Or maybe some unmanaged Windows API?  It could be misleading for beginners that simply write decimal.Round(2.5m, 0) expecting 3 as a result but getting 2 instead. I'm looking for the title of an anthology of children's science fiction stories from the 1950s. The best of the bunch involved a Martian who visited earth, and realized we'd blown ourselves up in a nuclear war and had fallen into savagery. The Martian is a vegetarian who subsists on biscuits made by a machine he brought with him, and communicates by using one of his tentacles to feed messages direction to/from the brain of the person he's talking to.  Inadvertently left behind by his expedition, he initially befriended some children, and eventually managed to rebuild civilization. Presently he dies, but when another expedition comes a generation later, they find the civilization he rebuilt.  there were other stories, but that was the best one.   If I can't find the name of the book it was in, I'd be happy to settle for the name of the author and the title of the story. What software is used to generate the reputation graphs on Stack Exchange? I'm particularly interested in the zooming functionality which is done very well. Were these graphs generated using off the shelf software or were they coded from scratch? Manually installing a program on Debian I have installed Debian on my pc, but the problem is that at the moment I have no Internet connection to this pc. So, to install a program I have to manually downloaded from a pc with internet and then install it to the linux-debian computer.  The question is this: Is there a standard way to make the installation manually? Note that when I connect a usb flash with the program I want to install(that is:   cdparanoia_3.10.2+debian-10.1_i386.deb) and I try opening it I get the message:     Failed to execute child process “ar” no file or directory. Blowing your own sail? Reference book on measure theory I post this question with some personal specifications. I hope it does not overlap with old posted questions.  Recently I strongly feel that I have to review the knowledge of measure theory for the sake of starting my thesis.  I am not totally new with measure theory, since I have taken and past one course at the graduate level. Unfortunately, because the lecturer was not so good at teaching, I followed the course by self-study. Now I feel that all the knowledge has gone after the exam and still don’t have a clear overview on the structure of measure theory. And here come my specified requirements for a reference book.   I wish the book elaborates the proofs, since I will read it on my own again, sadly. And this is the most important criterion for the book. I wish the book covers most of the topics in measure theory. Although the topic of my thesis is on stochastic integration, I do want to review measure theory at a more general level, which means it could emphasize on both aspects of analysis and probability. If such a condition cannot be achieved, I'd like to more focus on probability. I wish the book could deal with convergences and uniform integrability carefully, as Chung’s probability book.    My expectation is after thorough reading, I could have strong background to start a thesis on stochastic integration at an analytic level.  Sorry for such a tedious question.  P.S: the textbook I used is Schilling’s book: measures, integrals and martingales. It is a pretty good textbook, but misprints really ruin the fun of reading. Onguard U-lock jammed I'm currently trying to unlock my bike that has been sitting on my porch for a while, the key works and turns, and I can hear the lock engaging/disengaging, however I cannot get the shackle to come out. I think their might be dust/sand stuck in the mechanism however I'm not sure how to get it off now to check. Shine a light into a superconductor A type-I superconductor can expel almost all magnetic flux (below some critical value $H_c$) from its interior when superconducting. Light as we know is an electromagnetic wave. So what would happen if we shine a light deep into a type-I superconductor? Suppose the magnetic field of the light is significantly lower than $H_c$.  And what about type-II superconductors? How do I use Conditional Formatting based on due dates in Excel 2013? I am trying to format cells in Excel 2013. I want the cells to get colored as green, yellow, and red based on how close they are with the target date (January 13, 2015 in this case).  I am unable to use conditional formatting as Excel says that relative formatting is not permitted within conditional formatting.   Target:   06-01-2015  01-01-2015 02-01-2015 03-01-2015 04-01-2015 05-01-2015 06-01-2015 07-01-2015 08-01-2015 09-01-2015 10-01-2015   If the date in the cell is more than 2 days of the target date, I want the cell to change color to Green. I used =DATEDIF($N12,$N$9,"d")&gt;=3 and the format changed to green.  If the date in the cell is exactly 2 days near the target date, I want the cell to change color to yellow. I used =DATEDIF($N12,$N$9,"d")=2 and the format changed to yellow.  If the date in the cell is within 2 days of the target date, I want the cell to change color to red. I used =DATEDIF($N12,$N$9,"d")&lt;2 and the format changed to red only for 5th and 6th January. Apparently, it does not recognize negative values.  How can I get this to match the required colors? Prove/Disprove that if two sets have the same power set then they are the same set I am really sure that if two sets have the same power set, then they are the same set. I just am wondering how does one exactly go about proving/showing this?  I'm usually wrong, so if anyone can show me an example where this fails, I'd like that too.  The homework just asks for true/false, but I'm wanting to show it if possible. My thoughts are that since the power set is by definition the set of all subsets of a set, if each of the two power sets are identical, we have an identity map between each set, thus it's indistinguishable which power set is a given set's power set. I hope that wasn't verbose. Since a set has only one power set, we can conclude they are in fact the same set. Since my previous questions were not answered I will try to ask again more precisely.  I previously had the Nvidia driver installed and working correctly.  Then the ubuntu software update did something which broke it.  In fact, it completely de-configured it so that the standard display driver is used when the computer reboots.  I would like to re-enable the existing Nvidia  driver without re-installing the Nvidia driver.  How do I do that?  This machine is no longer connected to the internet.  NOTE: I am not asking how to disable automatic updates in this question.  I asked that elsewhere (and it wasn't answered).  NOTE: I am not asking how to stop the Ubuntu software updater from breaking the Nvidia driver the next time it updates the system.  That would be nice to know, but I asked that already and did not receive the correct answer either.  NOTE: Please don't make this as duplicate simply because someone else asked a question about Ubuntu and the software updater.  Try to read the actual question and see how it's different and try to realize how annoying it is when users have to spend hours of their own time to correct the problems that other people causing by incorrectly designing software updaters.
