How can I import pygame without "from pygame.locals import *"?
Can someone please explain this weird Pygame importing convention?
Only Fixed and Random Options are Working in Illustrator CC 2015 Callipraphy Brushes App updated but still the same. Only fixed and random options are working in Calligraphy Brushes.

However, the in-text-citations are always undefined and no bibliography is printed. The same bibliography works perfectly with a pure .tex-document stored in the same folder and containing the same citations, same path to the .bib-file etc. However, as for all references (also with hyperref) I have to compile twice. I thought this might be the problem with knitr (that the compilation is run only once), but the hyperref-references to figures work well. Any idea what might go wrong with the bibliography when using knitr and how I can solve the problem?

Custom Gmail labels sort I want to sort the labels in my own order instead of the default abc order, so that, for example, the label named bills should come up first.  Any way to do that?

I am using a "spinner" NSProgressIndicator in my cocoa app:     I would like to display it in a different color so that it will show up well on a dark background:     How would I go about doing this? My last resort would be to write my own custom NSView subclass that renders a custom animation, but I'm not even sure where to start on that front. Any help is appreciated. I really like the , where certain questions from the Stack Exchange Network are presented, along with a hotness rating that is described as &quot;arbitrary&quot; in its tooltip. Such questions also appear randomly on the sidebar on sites across the network, under the heading &quot;Hot Network Questions&quot;. How do these arbitrary hotness points work, and how are they used to select questions to appear in those lists? jQuery Datepicker with text input that doesn't allow user input Subject vs. Object marking for whoever? I know similar questions have been asked before, but I'm having trouble reconciling the following sentence, received in an email:     Can we ask whomever is your contact there to email us a job so we can check backward compatibility?   I could understand using objective case if the sentence were "can we ask (him) to email...", but I get tripped up considering "whomever" to be the subject of "(he) is your contact there". When does a flying creature start and end falling? Situation:  Alice the Aarakokra sees Bob the Battlemaster coming. She ascends to 605', just out of the 600' range of Bob's longbow.  Bob (Str 14) performs a running high jump 5' into the air and successfully hits Alice with his longbow, despite firing at disadvantage for long range. He spends one of his maneuver dice to perform the Trip Attack maneuver, and succeeds on the contested roll to knock Alice prone.  Alice is now flying and prone, so she falls. Falling does 1d6 bludgeoning damage per 10' fallen, to a maximum of 20d6.  Questions:   When does Alice start falling? It is on Bob's turn as soon as she's knocked prone, or some time else such as the beginning of her own next turn? When does Alice hit the ground? On Bob's turn as soon as she's knocked prone, or some time else?   These answers determine whether anyone can save Alice from her 20d6 of certain doom.   Is a reaction (e.g. casting Feather Fall) on Bob's turn the only hope? Can Alice's ally Charlie swoop in on his subsequent turn within the same round to catch her? Can Alice spend half her movement on her next turn to "stand from prone" and pull out of her involuntary dive? If Alice had expected to be shot down, could she have spent an action to be Ready to "stand from prone" while moving through Bob's airspace? QR factorization of complex matrix If you have two complex numbers $a,b$ how can you find the QR factorization of   $ M = \begin{bmatrix}        aI_n\\          bI_n \end{bmatrix} $,  I can't seem to be able to do it. I tried an earlier trick, but I now know it's not necessary true for complex numbers. Is there anyway to do this?  I think if I use a Givens algorithm I should be able to reduce it to a QR factorization. How can I add a PPA from a previous release? Excuse my lack of knowledge and expertise in math,but to me it would came naturally that the cubic root of $-8$ would be $-2$ since $(-2)^3 = -8$.  But when I checked Wolfram Alpha for , real it tells me it doesn't exist.  I came to trust Wolfram Alpha so I thought I'd ask you guys, to explain the sense of that to me. java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range I have 4GB RAM. When I open Firefox, IntelliJ IDEA or VS Code and some other application my memory is about used up thus my machine hangs and I can't do anything. I can't even close any applications.    Date and time are shown in the top bar so that I can view it any time without any thing typing.   If I would view memory status in this way without typing anything then I can make a decision whether to open an application or whether this application may put my machine in hanging state or not.    Is it possible in Ubuntu 18.04 LTS? This is a  about DNS server administration.   I have one hundred or so domains. All of these domains need to be configured identically, but it seems like a huge waste of time to have to configure a new zone and/or zonefile for every one of these domains. There has to be a better way to automate this!  I think I'm on to something...if I create a zone called ., or use some other feature in my DNS software to always return a specific IP when an A record is requested, this seems to get me pretty close to my desired end result. My server is responding authoritatively to the requests and it's so much easier to manage!  This was working great until nameserver validation software started checking these domains. I figured out that I can make most of the errors go away by adding NS records, but my software won't let me put more than one SOA record in the same zone file.  How do I work around this multiple SOA record problem? Why is the QGIS map composer grid showing unreasonable lat/lon? I need to print a map with coordinates in the format of Degree, Minute and second. CRS is set to WGS 84 (EPSG 3857) for both layers and on the project properties it is set to enable transformation on the fly. But then, when in map composer I get the following coordinates, which make no sense to me. Better yet, are there any Spacewalk-like software packages that work for both RedHat-based and Debian-based systems? Indentation in tcolorbox package I'd like to have the same indentation within a tcolorbox as I have in the rest of the document.  How can I get it?  Thanks.  MWE:  \documentclass[a4paper]{book}  \usepackage{lipsum} \usepackage[most]{tcolorbox}  \begin{document}  \chapter{Example with \texttt{tcolorbox}} \lipsum[1-8]  \begin{tcolorbox}[breakable,enhanced] \lipsum[9-14] \end{tcolorbox}  \end{document}   The first block of text has the typical indentation, but that in the box doesn't.
