Why are my villagers attempting to breed (they have the red hearts) but then stop breeding suddenly and gray "angry" particles pop up? I set up a villager breeder and set down 4 beds with 2 villagers in the middle and a carrot farmer supplying them with carrots. The first time both of those villagers bred the breeder worked perfectly fine. After that, however, the gray angry particles popped up every time they would try to breed (they would engage in breeding at a normal pace, just could not actually produce a baby). I even killed the one villager they produced in case it took a bed and even then, the two villagers would not breed anymore. Is there something I have done wrong? This seems odd considering they were only able to breed once and even by eliminating their offspring the villagers could not breed again. Edit: version is 1.16.4 Finding minimum bounding extent of given pixel value within raster? Normed vector spaces over finite fields Normed vector spaces are typically defined over the reals or complex numbers.  Is there any "standard," well-behaved construction that generalizes this to a vector space over a finite field, such as $\Bbb F_2$?  I'm looking for something kind of like the class of $\ell_p$ norms, except designed with finite fields in mind.  Ideally, something that has deep fundamental properties making it well-behaved in the same way that the Euclidean norm is. ubuntu 18.04 LTS bluetooth [0cf3:3004] discovery not working Checking the way to stop duplicate names - validation rules or triggers Why do the measurements of this object seem erroneous? I just found out about the Mesh Display : Length feature in the "N" panel (thanks to ) that allows one to measure the length of a face or vertice.  But my first encounter with this tool gives me complex feelings of love and hate, see how, as I was trying to measure the aspect ratio of this TV screen, I am getting WIDTH = 20.33 and HEIGHT = 37.57.  These values seem awfully wrong, since my betrusted eyes tell me the height should be shorter than the width.    I have tried measuring the single vertices as well, to identical results. How does Edo Tensei Madara get back his Rinnegan? Madara gave his Rinnegan to Nagato. But after Kabuto brings him back using Edo Tensei, he still has the Rinnegan. How is this possible? Every principal ideal domain satisfies ACCP. Display lines in last 10 minutes with specific pattern in logs I need to display lines with Error occurred in last 10 minutes of a log file.

I am using AIX. Capistrano for Django How to add programs to the Unity Launcher or Ubuntu Dock? How can I add new programs to the launcher (or the dock in Ubuntu 17.10 and later) in Ubuntu? Are all electrons identical? Why should two sub-atomic (or elementary particle) - say electrons need to have identical static properties - identical mass, identical charge? Why can't they differ between each other by a very slight degree? Is there a theory which proves that?  Imagine an alien of size of order of Milky-way galaxy examining our solar system with a probe of size of 10's of solar system dimension and concludes that all planets are identical. How to set root password to null Regulatory bodies and authoritative dictionaries for English Some languages have a "regulatory body" issuing recommendations and guidelines regarding the use of that language.  For example in the case of Spanish it's the  whose status is recognised in all Spanish-speaking countries. The Academy, among other things, publishes a dictionary (""), in print and , which is usually given a lot of prestige (but is not without , of course).  Are there any such authorative—or at least influential—institution(s) or publication(s) for the English language? In document class book, and package caption, creating index with makeidx. Index entries for the main text and for footnotes collate properly; but those for captions create their own entries.  Example: for the tag \index{New York!Custom House!\textit{Cartouche}}, text and footnotes collate properly; but used in a caption, a new entry is created at the third level, and is also out-of-alphabetic-sequence. Note: the top level, and first sub are correct; only the second sub is duplicated.  How to get the caption index entries under the same entry? High CPU usage by "System" and "System interrupts" (caused by ACPI.sys) I have a laptop, which was running Windows 8.1 x64 without any problems. Now with Windows 10 x64 installed, Task Manager constantly shows unusual CPU usage by "System" and "System interrupts". To solve this, I already tried the following, without success:   Disabling and uninstalling all non-essential drivers. Installing newer drivers than the ones that were automagically installed (if available). Disabling/enabling fast boot option. Disabling all of the non-essential services. Sysprep. Resetting BIOS to defaults and various combinations of settings. Flashing BIOS to the latest available version. Clean install from the same media that I use for other PCs. Installing all of the updates offered in Windows Update to this day. Windows Performance Recorder / Analyzer.   I'm not very familiar with Windows Performance Analyzer, so I'm hoping someone here can point me in the right direction - what exactly should I look for, to figure out which device/driver is the culprit. Or, if there's any other approach to figuring out this problem?  For the brave souls, here's my  and a screenshot of the problem: How do I convert two lists into a dictionary? How can I get textures on edge of walls like in Super Metroid and Aquaria? Games like Super Metroid and Aquaria present the terrain with the other facing parts having rocks and stuff while deeper behind them (i.e. underground) there's different detail or just black.      I would like to do something similar using polygons. Terrain is created in my current level as a set of overlapping square boxes. I'm not sure if this rendering method will work such a system for creating terrain but if anyone has ideas I'd love to hear them. Otherwise I'd like to know how I should re-write the terrain rendering system so it actually works to draw terrain in this manner... How is the derivative of $\mbox{Trace}\left\{ X^T A X B\right\}$ with respect to matrix $X$ equal to $AXB + A^TXB^T$?  \begin{align}   \nabla_X \ \textrm{Trace}\left\{ X^T A X B\right\} = AXB + A^TXB^T \end{align}  where $A$ and $B$ matrices are given. Recursive glob? I'd like to write something like this:  $ ls **.py   in order to get all .py filenames, recursively walking a directory hierarchy.  Even if there are .py files to find, the shell (bash) gives this output:  ls: cannot access **.py: No such file or directory   Any way to do what I want?  EDIT: I'd like to specify that I'm not interested in the specific case of ls, but the question is about the glob syntax.
