How to send a header using a HTTP request through a cURL call? I wish to send a header to my Apache server on a Linux box.  How can I achieve this via a cURL call? Decode Base64 data in Java I have an image that is Base64 encoded. What is the best way to decode that in Java? Hopefully using only the libraries included with Sun Java 6. Why do neural networks need so many training examples to perform? A human child at age 2 needs around 5 instances of a car to be able to identify it with reasonable accuracy regardless of color, make, etc. When my son was 2, he was able to identify trams and trains, even though he had seen just a few. Since he was usually confusing one with each other, apparently his neural network was not trained enough, but still.  What is it that artificial neural networks are missing that prevent them from being able to learn way quicker? Is transfer learning an answer? Parse JSON using Python? Is my sugar daddy scamming me Neural Network: MLP for regression with 3 continuous features, 1 categorical I am starting to study Neural Network. I want to build a MLP where I will feed it:   3 features which are continuous one feature which is categorical (48 classes)   How can I do this?  Before adding the categorical feature, I was using 'relu' activation function and 'lbfgs' as a solver in MLPRegrssor in sklearn.  I was wondering: how can I integrate this variable into the network? Should I do one-hot encoding? Should I keep relu as activation function or should I try sigmoid, softmax or something like that? Solution of equation $\frac{x\cdot 2014^{\frac{1}{x}}+\frac{1}{x}\cdot 2014^x}{2} = 2014$ Solution of equation $\displaystyle \frac{x\cdot 2014^{\frac{1}{x}}+\frac{1}{x}\cdot 2014^x}{2} = 2014$   $\bf{My\; Try::}$ Clearly Here $x&gt;0$, Now Using $\bf{A.M\geq G.M}$  So Here $\displaystyle x\cdot 2014^{\frac{1}{x}}&gt;0$ and $\displaystyle \frac{1}{x}\cdot 2014^x&gt;0$ .  So $\displaystyle \left(\frac{x\cdot 2014^{\frac{1}{x}}+\frac{1}{x}\cdot 2014^x}{2}\right)\geq \left(x\cdot 2014^{\frac{1}{x}}\cdot \frac{1}{x}\cdot 2014^x\right)^{\frac{1}{2}} = \sqrt{2014^{\left(x+\frac{1}{x}\right)}} = 2014$   And equality Hold , When $\displaystyle x = \frac{1}{x}\Rightarrow x= 1$  Can we solve it  without Using $\bf{A.M\geq G.M}$  If Yes, Then please explain me.  Thanks Why does camera this tracking fail completely even when the solution value is very low? The attached animated gif shows some frames of a video with a mesh box placed at each tracking marker used to successfully track (solution error &lt;.4) an 800 frame chunk of video.   The point is to illustrate just how poorly the camera tracker calculated: when the box is at a marker placed at the top of a faraway building on the left, it is actually visually much larger than when it is at the tracking marker closest to where the real camera was. I went to great lengths to be sure that the camera's sensor size and focal length are correct, and manually placed and followed all markers to be sure they were accurately tracking.   There is not a lot of parallax motion over the 800 frames, but there should have been enough to at least know that the point closest to the camera moved more than the point furthest away. Sometimes it seems to work, sometimes it doesn't. Does anybody know how to improve this? Let $(X,d)$ be a metric space. How to prove that for any closed $A$ a function $d(x,A)$ is continuous - I know that it is even Lipschitz continuous, but I have a problem with the proof:  $$ |d(x,a) - d(y,a)| \leq d(x,y) $$ for any $a\in A$ - but we cannot just replace it by $|d(x,A) - d(y,A)|\leq d(x,y)$ since the minimum (or infimum in general) can be attained in different points $a\in A$ for $x$ and $y$, so we only have that $$ |d(x,A)-d(y,A)|\leq d(x,y)+\sup\limits_{a,b\in A}d(a,b) $$ which does not mean continuity. How can I trick Minecraft into thinking two computers are on the same wifi network? Minecraft's got an "Open to LAN" feature, which can be used to set up a local server when two computers running Minecraft are on the same network. Some young relatives of mine use this to play together whenever they're in the same house, but they'd like to be able to play together from their respective residences.  A server is not optimal because it's a bit complex. I've tried using Tunngle to spoof that the computers are on the same connection to no avail.  How can I convince Minecraft's "Open to LAN" that their two separate computers are on the same network? Renting a car in Ireland & Great Britain: 1 rental or 2? My wife, two kids and I will be traveling in Ireland and the UK Nov. 1st through 21st. We're flying into and out of Dublin. Our plan is to do a clockwise tour: Fly into Dublin -> Belfast -> Scotland -> England/London -> Back to Dublin to fly home.  We've been planning to rent a car when we land in Dublin (doing just things outside Dublin at the start of the trip) and have a car all the way until London, then turn in the car and take a train/ferry to get back to Dublin before flying home.  However, reading through the car rental section of Rick Steve's 2012 Ireland book is causing us to question if this is the right plan.  He says (p. 480):     If your trip covers both Ireland and Great Britain, you're better off   with two separate car rentals, rather than paying for your car to ride   the ferry between the two islands. On an all-Ireland trip, you can   drive your rental car from the Republic of Ireland into Northern   Ireland, but be aware of drop-off charges ($75-150) if you return it   in the North.   So it seems like he recommends against doing one car rental for both islands, but he also recommends against renting in the Republic of Ireland and returning it in Northern Ireland (our other option for our current itinerary).  So we're not sure which is best here.  A few questions about this:   If we do one car rental all the way from Dublin to London, will there be a similar $75-$150 fee? Is there an easy place to return a car on the Northern Ireland side of one of the Northern Ireland -> Scotland ferries, and an easy place on the Scotland side to rent a car?  We'd like to minimize the number of buses/whatever we need to take between car rentals since we'll be lugging around car seats for both of our children (on top of carrying them and our luggage). Will one way be significantly cheaper than the other?  Besides the basic cost of taking the car on the ferry and the drop-off charges, our credit card will cover insurance in Scotland/England but not in Ireland, so we could potentially get a better rental rate by renting a second vehicle once we're on Great Britain. Although, I know you often get a better rate when keeping a car rental for longer, so that may negate any benefit from the credit card covering the insurance. I tried control+shift+power button as well as command+shift+power button. Neither seem to work. replacing the default console emulator under Windows XP How can I replace the default program providing console windows under Windows XP?  I know of , and I have a shortcut to start cmd.exe in . But now I want console applications to start in Console2 rather than the default console program, even when I have no control over the program that starts the console application. (I.e. a non-console program starts consoleapp.exe, and I can't change it to start Console2 instead, but I still want the application to be started inside a new instance of Console2.)  (Note that I want to replace the console itself, that is, the window in which console (i.e. text mode) applications run. And I must be able to run arbitrary, unmodified console applications: a substitute for a specific console program such as Cmd won't do me any good.)  EDIT: So what I'm after is a , which           OT: I want to know when Microsoft is going to make a decent CSRSS replacement. Not being able to adjust the width of a "terminal" by resizing the window is a complete joke.         Go download the ISE already. (It's included in Win7/2008R2.)   But as far as I understand this ISE is an , not a general console emulator. How to detect if a variable is an array Correct XML serialization and deserialization of "mixed" types in .NET Reputation in summary tab shows as blank instead of 0, if net result is zero For $p$ prime, show that $\Phi_{p^n}(x) = 1 + x^{p^{n-1}} + x^{2p^{n-2}} + \dots +x^{(p-1)^{p^n-1}}$ Well I attempted to try this but I failed to solve it: So $$\Phi_{p^{n}}(x)= \frac{x^{p^{n}} - 1}{\Phi_{1}(x) \Phi_{p^{2}}(x) \dots \Phi_{p^{n-1}}(x)}$$  Now I'm just stuck here. I saw a result somewhere on the net that said $\Phi_{p^n}(x) = \Phi_p(x^{p^{n-1}})$. I would just use that, but I don't see why that result is true or know how to show that's true.  How do I approach this? Who fired the shot and what is the symbolism in firing shot right next to Lucas at the end of the movie? At the end of , during the deer hunt, there’s a shot fired right next to Lucas (deliberately missing the shot).   Who fired the shot? Is it Theo's son? What is the meaning of that scene? Is someone warning Lucas that he made a mistake and definitely, Lucas will be punished in the future? Can i install ubuntu on meizu mx4 android edition like ubuntu edition with iso recovery in this page "  " My linear voltage regulator is overheating very fast I'm using a 5 V / 2 A voltage regulator () without a heatsink. I'm testing the circuit with a microcontroller (PIC18FXXXX), a few LEDs and a 1 mA piezzo buzzer. The input voltage is aprox. 24 VDC. After running for a minute, the voltage regulator starts to overheat, meaning it burns my finger if I keep it there for more than a second. Within a few minutes it starts to smell like it's burnt. Is this a normal behavior for this regulator? What could cause it to heat that much?    Other components used in this circuit:  L1:   R2:   F1:
