How do I find out what fonts are used in a document/picture? How bad is it to use display: none in CSS? I've heard many times that it's bad to use display: none for SEO reasons, as it could be an attempt to push in irrelevant popular keywords. A few questions:   Is that still received wisdom? Does it make a difference if you're only hiding a single word, or perhaps a single character? If you should avoid any use of it, what are the preferred techniques for hiding (in situations where you need it to become visible again on certain conditions)?   Some references I've found so far:       If you're straight-out using CSS to hide text, don't be surprised if that is called spam. I'm not saying that mouseovers or DHTML text or have-a-logo-but-also-have-text is spam; I answered that last one at a conference when I said "imagine how it would look to a visitor, a competitor, or someone checking out a spam report. If you show your company's name and it's Expo Markers instead of an Expo Markers logo, you should be fine. If the text you decide to show is 'Expo Markers cheap online discount buy online Expo Markers sale ...' then I would be more cautious, because that can look bad."   And  on the same article     We can flag text that appears to be hidden using CSS at Google. To date we have not algorithmically removed sites for doing that. We try hard to avoid throwing babies out with bathwater.   Eric Enge      The legitimate use of this technique is so prevalent that I would rarely expect search engines to penalize a site for using the display: none attribute. It’s just very difficult to implement an algorithm that could truly ferret out whether the particular use of display: none is meant to deceive the search engines or not. I'm having trouble distinguishing between the concepts of scedasticity and stationarity. As I understand them, heteroscedasticity is differing variabilities in sub-populations and non-stationarity is a changing mean/variance over time.   If this is a correct (albeit simplistic) understanding, is non-stationarity simply a specific case of heteroscedasticity across time? Why "would" instead of "will" in this sentence? The goal for these negotiations is to reach a mutually-agreed long-term comprehensive solution that would ensure Iranˈs nuclear program will be exclusively peaceful.    what does would imply here? If it implies future, why will has not been used?  A good link teaching would thoroughly would be really appreciated. Specially, distinguishing between the senses of would is not always easy. Short story: people rediscover how to do math and want to put people in bombs Many years ago I remember reading a short story about an advanced civilization at war that rediscovers how to do math mentally. The reason I remember it is the guy tells it to government officials who are delighted because it means they can put people inside bombs or missiles instead of computers, which were thought to be more valuable.  I believe this is one of those stories I read in a science fiction anthology my father brought home on one of his business trips in the sixties or seventies. What is the derivative of this? I have a function of the following form:  $J = \|W^TW-I\|_F^2$   Where, $W$ is a matrix and $F$ is the Frobenius Norm.  How can I find the derivative of $\frac{\partial J}{\partial W}$ ? I encountered an 'errorUnknown graphics extension: .eps.' I tried to load an .eps picture, but an error occured,      errorUnknown graphics extension: .eps. Sinking and Sourcing Current to and from a PIC24F Output Pin Sinking and sourcing current refers to current going into and out of the MCU (respectively), right? If you configure a GPIO pin as an output, why would current ever go into the pin (since it's configured as an OUTPUT)? I suppose it depends what the output circuit looks like, if it's tied to the voltage supply rail or ground... maybe I just answered my own question...? What is a 'rollback'? What is a 'rollback' on Stack Exchange sites? I have seen this mentioned but I do not understand the term. Please note: This post is not a sandbox for performing rollbacks. Please do not perform rollbacks on this post without valid reason. If you want to try out a few rollbacks, do it  instead.   See also   in the Help Center How can I determine whether a 2D Point is within a Polygon? Why is "what can I ask about here" not the first entry in the help center? On a lot of sites, the first section of the Help Center looks like this:    When I go to a site's help center it's almost always to find out what's on-topic there, because I'm considering asking or migrating a question.  Leading with what not to ask seems odd to me, and I suspect that to someone not already familiar with SE it could be a little off-putting.  It's not always like this, though; here on MSE we get this, which I've seen on some other sites too:    That ordering makes a lot more sense to me.  It's also consistent with the tour.  (Maybe "how do I ask a good question?" should also be "above the fold", in the top five somewhere.)  Why the difference?  Can we either make the order consistent across the network and more logical, or give users or moderators the ability to change the order on their sites? After running Win 7 for some unknown period of time, the taskbar icon highlight starts to stick (video demo here: ). If I restart or kill explorer.exe and relaunch, it goes away.  Any idea what might be causing this? Differences Between Row Echelon and Reduced Row Echelon Let $$A =\begin{bmatrix} 1&amp;3&amp;-6&amp;2\\5&amp;12&amp;-24&amp;7\\9&amp;15&amp;-30&amp;6\end{bmatrix}$$  $$RREF(A) =\begin{bmatrix} 1&amp;0&amp;0&amp;-1\\0&amp;1&amp;-2&amp;-1\\0&amp;0&amp;0&amp;0\end{bmatrix}$$ $$REF(A) =\begin{bmatrix} 1&amp;3&amp;-6&amp;2\\0&amp;1&amp;-2&amp;1\\0&amp;0&amp;0&amp;0\\\end{bmatrix}$$  Now, provided this information, it can be found that the basis for the nullspace of $A$ using the $RREF(A)$ is: $$\begin{pmatrix} \begin{bmatrix} 0\\2\\1\\0 \end{bmatrix}, \begin{bmatrix} 1\\-1\\0\\1 \end{bmatrix}\end{pmatrix}$$  Using the $REF(A)$ the "basis" for the nullspace is:  $$\begin{pmatrix} \begin{bmatrix} 6\\2\\1\\0 \end{bmatrix}, \begin{bmatrix} -2\\-1\\0\\1 \end{bmatrix}\end{pmatrix}$$  Is the "basis" that I provided for the $REF(A)$ actually a basis? How does the  $REF$ and $RREF$ of a matrix differ? What commands (exactly) should replace the deprecated apt-key? We just had a scenario where the enemy set up a 'death trap' with arrow slits covering a corridor, allowing them to pop in, shoot, then pop out -- all without actually entering the corridor.  Which was fine in and of itself, until my cleric ran through the corridor at top speed, with Spirit Guardians up.  The DM and I discussed it, and as far as we can tell the spell doesn't require a line of sight and isn't blocked by walls -- just being 'in range' gets you the damage.  So I wiped out an entire encounter with one well placed third level spell.  In and of itself, that doesn't seem too OP -- at level 5/6 a third level spell is a pretty big investment!  But it still seems a bit odd that I can do it without even LOS.  Are there any rules I'm missing? I'm currently developing a script for Blender to handle Mesh Frequency Decomposition.  The script is nearly complete, but i need one more thing: The SciPy library to compute eigenvalues and eigenvectors.  Following the installation instructions on , I'm able to install it as well as Numpy. Numpy works fine, but I can't even import SciPy:  Traceback (most recent call last): File "/CAF_FD.py", line 4, in &lt;module&gt; ImportError: No module named 'scipy' Error: Python script fail, look in the console for now...   By the way, I'm working on Linux 64 bit and I've installed SciPy and Numpy with my package manager.  Edit: When I try to use SciPy with a terminal prompt, it works. I have several std::vector, all of the same length. I want to sort one of these vectors, and apply the same transformation to all of the other vectors.  Is there a neat way of doing this? (preferably using the STL or Boost)?  Some of the vectors hold ints and some of them std::strings.  Pseudo code:  std::vector&lt;int&gt; Index = { 3, 1, 2 }; std::vector&lt;std::string&gt; Values = { "Third", "First", "Second" };  Transformation = sort(Index); Index is now { 1, 2, 3};  ... magic happens as Transformation is applied to Values ... Values are now { "First", "Second", "Third" }; Give us better search-by-score syntax What caused the apocalypse in the Hunger Games? So the stories of the Hunger Games are set in , a post-apocalyptic society situated in North America. Is there anything to explain what caused the Apocalypse? Whether from the main books, any extra material or interviews? (No fanfic please.)  As well as the cause, is there any indication of when the apocalypse happened? And how long after the apocalypse are the events of the Hunger Games? How do I protect Python code from being read by users?
