How can I script the settings made by gnome-tweak-tool? I like to be able to configure things from the command line, so that when I reinstall the OS I can just run a script and get my preferred configuration back.  Since "upgrading" to Ubuntu 17.10, I found I had to use gnome-tweak-tool to get some settings the way I want them.  Once I find a setting in the gnome-tweak-tool GUI, how can I figure out its scriptable translation?  For example the following gsettings lines match the relevant entries in the gnome-tweak-tool screen shot below...  gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences titlebar-font "Tahoma Bold 8" gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface font-name "Tahoma 8" gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface document-font-name "Tahoma 8" gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface monospace-font-name "FixedSC 10"    ...but how could anyone guess that? And how would I, for example, figure out where to get the corresponding settings for hinting and antialiasing? Density of finite rank operator in compact operators on Hilbert spaces Counting the number of propagating degrees of freedom in Lorenz Gauge Electrodynamics Is it ok to say 'sorry' where you otherwise would use 'excuse me'?  Example: "Sorry, but could you show me the way to the next train station?" Which one is the formula of angular velocity? Is it $\omega= vr$? If not then why does the source below use $mvr=nh/2\pi$, where $mvr$ is angular momentum and $vr$ is angular velocity? Again $\omega=v/r$ shows radian per second. I saw $\omega= vr$ in one book and $\omega= v/r$ in another! How can I manually generate a random number from a given distribution, as for instance, 10 realisations from the standard normal distribution? Array versus List: When to use which?

Why is there no permittivity-type constant for gravitation? When I look at electric or magnetic fields, each of them has a constant that defines how a field affects or is affected by a medium. For example, electric fields in vacuum have a permittivity constant $ϵ_0$ embedded in the electric field expression of a point charge: $E = q/4π ϵ_0r^2$. However, if I put this point charge in some dielectric that has a different  permittivity constant $ϵ$, the value of the electric field changes. On a similar note, magnetic fields behave very similar but have the permeability constant $μ_0$ instead.   From my understanding, I believe that this is not the case for gravitational fields since the universal gravitational constant $G$ is consider to be a fundamental constant. So I am assuming that even though gravitational fields do operate in different types of mediums, this somehow doesn’t affect the gravitational field value. My question is why is this the case, that is, why isn’t there a permittivity-type constant for gravitation? Free vector graphic images, for commercial use Is there a free library of vector graphics for commercial use? Possible to specify the GUID when adding a List to a SPListCollection? I found  which goes over how to add a list, but it doesn't seem possible to specify a GUID if you use this method.  Is there any way to create a list and specify the GUID?  I am trying to recreate several lists on a different server and if they do not have the same GUIDs other functionality may break. Why are we in love "with" someone? The differential equation $$ {d^2\alpha \over dt^2} + {g \over L} \cdot \alpha = 0 $$  describes a 1-dimensional mathematical pendulum, where $\alpha $ is the angle, $ g = 9.82 $, and $ L = 0.2 $ is the lentgh of the string. What is the position of the pendulum after 1 second if the velocity at time equals zero is $ 0 $ m/s and the angle at time equals zero is $ {\pi \over 60} $ radians.  To my understanding this is a homogenous equation, ergo  $$ y'' + Cy = 0$$  And with the help of the characteristic equation I get the complex roots $ Ci \, $ and $ -Ci $.  This is a farily simple differential equation, but I have a feeling my calculations so far are wrong (mainly because I didn't expect to see complex roots for this equation). What's the right course of action for cross-site duplicates?  There are two flavors:   A question is posted which belongs on another site and ends up already having been asked there. I can't find an example right now, but it's bound to happen soon if it hasn't already. The same question is posted in two places at the same time. Take  for example, which is a duplicate of , posted within a half hour of each other by the same user.   Possible actions:   Move it to the proper site and close it once it gets there as a duplicate. Provide a way to close it right away as a cross-site duplicate, without moving it first. Flag it and let a moderator merge them. Close it as "no longer relevant" or something else.   Additionally, flavor 2 is a bit of a special case; perhaps the question really spans both sites in terms of content and intended audience. Should multiple-postings in this case be allowed? If so, should they somehow be linked to each other? If not, how do we avoid a migration war? Should the user be forced to sign in for a wish list on an ecommerce site? I believe that signing into a site can be a big barrier to users so prefere e-commerce sites that offer guest access.  The question is should wishlists be a guest feature or do the business advantages enforcing the user to sign up outweigh the potential increases in profits.   Does anyone have any research or views on this? Class vs Struct for data only? Is there any advantage over using a class over a struct in cases such as these?  (note: it will only hold variables, there will never be functions)  class Foo {  private:       struct Pos { int x, y, z }; public:        Pos Position;  };   Versus:  struct Foo {    struct Pos { int x, y, z } Pos; };     Similar questions: What is the name of the character $\wp$? What is the name of the character whose code is $\wp$ ?  Thanks I have several files that I ftp each hour.  The receiving system needs to have some sort of identifier that they came from the same batch, so I would like to append a timestamp to the filename.  That alone is fairly easy, but since I want each file to have the same timestamp (so it can serve as the batch identifier), I cannot figure out how to do this.  So, I have:  file1.txt file2.txt file3.txt   And I want to have:  file1_20141110184303.txt file2_20141110184303.txt file3_20141110184303.txt   Any use of the date +%Y%m%d%H%M%S after the first use will obviously result in a different values in seconds, so I would like to have the first timestamp appended to the remaining files. Tiny lifeforms on planetoid that live at accelerated time rate A book I once owned and read back in late-80's or early-90's that I have not been able to identify title &amp; author for:  It was a SF story concerning tiny native lifeforms, living on either a planetoid or possibly a dead/neutron star, that evolve at a seemingly accelerated time rate. Most of their story is told in the few days of observation (from orbit) by a human expedition to the planet, during which time-frame the race below progresses from stone-age tech level to being more advanced than the human observers, and eventually flying up to meet the humans in small advanced craft powered by micro-singularities... one of which accidentally 'disintegrates' the tip of a human scientist's nose in the process. Consider an irreducible but possibly periodic Markov chain on a finite state space with transition matrix $P$. We know there exists a unique stationary distribution $\pi$. If the Markov chain were aperiodic, we would have $P^n_{ij} \to \pi(j)$ as $n \to \infty$. This fails if the chain is periodic, but we have convergence of the Cesaro averages: $$\frac{1}{n}\sum_{k=1}^n P^k_{ij} \to \pi(j) \text{ as } n \to \infty.$$ Can anyone point me to a reference that states this fact? Every reference I've seen only considers convergence for aperiodic chains, or "fixes" periodicity by considering a lazy version of the chain. Alternatively, is there a simple way to obtain this result using the result for aperiodic chains?
