What is the best way to explain how to choose between "its" and "it's"? Are answers that just contain links elsewhere really "good answers"? I have often wondered at the practice on Stack&nbsp;Overflow, Server&nbsp;Fault, and the other sites where someone will ask a question and an answer will come in that says Look here: http://link elsewhere. Rarely will the link have exactly the answer necessary -- often it's an entire article -- yet these answers get voted up.  Why is that, exactly? I realize this is subjective, but my own thoughts are that one should try and give the answer (even if the answer is 'no, it can't be done' or 'no, I don't think it can be done' -- very different answers) and then if you have a link that explains it, go ahead and post it within the answer.  What does the community think about this?     For more information, see  in the . Is there a good resource or tool to help build a palette/color scheme around colors I select? No matter how nice the composition, flow, and lines of my design are, if I am not copying directly from nature, I have a very difficult time picking a decent color scheme.  It either looks too drab, or too garish.  Is there a good resource that will help me to choose a color scheme that has 2 or 3 colors, and the colors do not clash?  I'm not looking for specific colors or color schemes.  What I need is a resource that will help me choose a color (or colors) that go nicely with, or provide a good accent to, whatever main color I am working with on the design.

Remove the shortcut of an application that was installed using Wine from the Unity Dash How do I remove an application shortcut from the Unity Dash (not from the Unity Launcher)?  My specific issue is I tried to install a game using Wine a while ago. I then uninstalled the game, then uninstalled Wine. Today I found that shortcuts to the game (and other related content that came with it) remain when I push Super and type the game name. (Wine is not visible though.) Does removing an iPhone from my icloud account also erase the data? I have a trained logistic regression model that I am applying to a testing data set. The dependent variable is binary (boolean). For each sample in the testing data set, I apply the logistic regression model to generates a % probability that the dependent variable will be true. Then I record whether the acutal value was true or false. I'm trying to calculate an $R^2$ or Adjusted $R^2$ figure as in a linear regression model.  This gives me a record for each sample in the testing set like:  prob_value_is_true         acutal_value    .34                          0    .45                          1    .11                          0    .84                          0     ....                        ....             I am wondering how to test the accuracy of the model. My first attempt was to use a contingency table and say "if prob_value_is_true > 0.80, guess that the actual value is true" and then measure the ratio of correct to incorrect classifications. But I don't like that, because it feels more like I'm just evaluating the 0.80 as a boundary, not the accuracy of the model as a whole and at all prob_value_is_true values.  Then I tried to just look at each prob_value_is_true discrete value, as an example, looking at all samples where prob_value_is_true=0.34 and measuring the % of those samples where the acutal value is true (in this case, perfect accuracy would be if the % of samples that was true = 34%). I might create a model accuracy score by summing the difference at each discrete value of prob_value_is_true. But sample sizes are a huge concern here, especially for the extremes (nearing 0% or 100%), such that the averages of the acutal values are not accurate, so using them to measure the model accuracy doesn't seem right.  I even tried creating huge ranges to ensure sufficient sample sizes (0-.25, .25-.50, .50-.75, .75-1.0), but how to measure "goodness" of that % of actual value stumps me. Say all samples where prob_value_is_true is between 0.25 and 0.50 have an average acutal_value of 0.45. Is that good since its in the range? Bad since its not near 37.5% (the center of the range)?  So I'm stuck at what seems like should be an easy question, and hoping someone can point me to a resource or method to calculate an accuracy stastic for a logistic regression model. Subscribing to questions and comments that don't belong to you For users running Java application or applets in the browser, what difference does it make running either Sun Java or OpenJDK?  EDIT  Oracle will be , and basing the proprietary implementation on OpenJDK. Can we expect similar experience in running Java apps using either OpenJDK or Oracle JDK? How does ServerName and ServerAlias work? It's the following part of a virtual host config that I need further clarification on:  &lt;VirtualHost *:80&gt;   # Admin email, Server Name (domain name), and any aliases   ServerAdmin example@example.com   ServerName  141.29.495.999   ServerAlias example.com ...   This is and example config, similar to what I currently have (I don't have a domain name at the moment).  &lt;VirtualHost *:80&gt; - Allow the following settings for all HTTP requests made on port 80 to IPs that this server can be contacted on. For instance, if the server could be accessed on more than one IP, you could restrict this directive to just one instead of both.  ServerName - If the host part of the HTTP request matches this name, then allow the request. Normally this would be a domain name that maps to an IP, but in this case the HTTP request host must match this IP.  ServerAlias - Alternate names accepted by the server.  The confusing part for me is, in the above scenario, if I set ServerAlias mytestname.com and then made an HTTP request to mytestname.com, there would have to be a DNS record pointing to the server's IP for this to work? In which case, is ServerAlias just basically EXTRA ServerName entries?  Say I had a DNS entry such that foobar.com = 141.29.495.999 but then I had ServerName = 141.29.495.999 and ServerAlias was empty, would that mean that although foobar.com gets resolved to the right IP, because there is no reference to accept foobar.com in ServerName or ServerAlias?  Or something. Man I'm confused. fastest way to detect if a value is in a group of values in Javascript I have a group of strings in Javascript and I need to write a function that detects if another specific string belongs to this group or not.  What is the fastest way to achieve this? Is it alright to put the group of values into an array, and then write a function that searches through the array?  I think if I keep the values sorted and do a binary search, it should work fast enough. Or is there some other smart way of doing this, which can work faster? What's the difference between the following sentences?      (a) I wish they wouldn't make so much noise.   (b) I wish they were not making so much noise.    (c) I wish they did not make so much noise.   I'd appreciate your help. Calculating extent of custom tiles? Problem  The picture is just an example of my case, but I am left with blank space on the left when I load all the tiles and I get error message in the console:   Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found) http://path/to/the/tile//base/8/6/53.png  etc.     I could guess and limit the extent of the layer, but I would really like to know is there any way to calculate it and also be able to get rid of the error message.  What I know about the tiles?   Originally they are served as TMS They represent png images 256*256 They are in projection: EPSG:3857 In OpenLayers2 they were called like TMS layer In OpenLayers3 (v.3.8.2) they are called like XYZ layer (that includes -y):     var baseLayer = new ol.layer.Tile({   source: new ol.source.XYZ({     url: 'http://path/to/the/tiles/base/{z}/{x}/{-y}.png'   }) });   Thoughts and questions   How can I calculate extent of the tiles? Or in another words how can I find out zmin zmax xmin ymin xmax ymax or whole range of x/y?  What does x/y really represent? Are they coordinates of the left bottom corner or center of the tile? In which direction does x/y increase? How can I figure out x/y of at least one of the tile, for example left bottom one?    (I have modified the question for better understanding of the problem) In reading I am not sure if the issue below could have something to do with needing a custom wordpress ajax handler? All of these functions are inside my functions.php file. I have a couple of PHP functions that are supposed to pass information from one to another. The an AJAX call to the final function should produce the final result through that call. Its not happening. My count results in 0 and I am not understanding why. If I replace my query with a static array like [44,55,99,33] then it will pass the values ok. Likewise if I keep the query and simply replace the $id in the query and make it a static id such as '20' then it works. I would think that the id was the issue then and it wasnt pulling properly but it seems to work ok just not pass? function idx(){     global $wpdb, $id;       $getId = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];     $ecp = explode('/', $getId);     if($ecp[3] != ''){         $id = $ecp[3];     }         return $id; } add_action( 'after_setup_theme', 'idx' );  =============================================== function Total_Result(){     global $wpdb;     $id = idx();        /*$resultx = [44,88,59,52];*/ ;      $resultx = $wpdb-&gt;get_results( $wpdb-&gt;prepare(&quot;SELECT * FROM {$wpdb-&gt;prefix}custom_form_submission_conversation as cc LEFT JOIN {$wpdb-&gt;prefix}custom_form_submission as cs on cc.fsid ='$id' WHERE fsid='$id'&quot; ));          $resultxs = array($resultx);          $total_result =  count($resultxs[0]);     echo  $total_result; }  when I var_dump $resultx I get: array(3) { [0]=&gt; object(stdClass)#1256 (36) { [“cid”]=&gt; string(3) “167” [“fsid”]=&gt; string(2) “20” [“specified_date”]=&gt; string(3) “yes” [“price_quote”]=&gt; string(4) “1140” [“posted_by”]=&gt; string(9) “dc_vendor” [“limit_count”]=&gt; string(1) “1” [“read_unread”]=&gt; string(1) “1” [“vendor_response”]=&gt; string(4) “zero” [“date_created”]=&gt; string(19) “2021-04-15 11:39:08” }   [1]=&gt; object(stdClass)#1257 (36) { [“cid”]=&gt; string(3) “186” [“fsid”]=&gt; string(2) “20” [“specified_date”]=&gt; string(3) “Yes” [“price_quote”]=&gt; string(3) “602” [“posted_by”]=&gt; string(8) “customer” [“limit_count”]=&gt; string(1) “1” [“read_unread”]=&gt; string(1) “1” [“vendor_response”]=&gt; string(4) “zero” [“date_created”]=&gt; string(19) “2021-04-15 11:39:08” }   [2]=&gt; object(stdClass)#1258 (36) { [“cid”]=&gt; string(3) “188” [“fsid”]=&gt; string(2) “20” [“specified_date”]=&gt; string(3) “yes” [“price_quote”]=&gt; string(4) “1017” [“posted_by”]=&gt; string(9) “dc_vendor” [“limit_count”]=&gt; string(1) “1” [“read_unread”]=&gt; string(1) “0” [“vendor_response”]=&gt; string(4) “zero” [“date_created”]=&gt; string(19) “2021-04-15 11:39:08” } }   so then I try and pass that data like so: function getvendorresponsestatus() {     global $wpdb; $id = idx();          $total_resultx = Total_Result($id);         die; }  Ive tried with and without the die();. The AJAX call is: setInterval(function(){     var ffiidd = jQuery('#ffiidd').val();     var ajaxurl = &quot;&lt;?php echo admin_url('admin-ajax.php'); ?&gt;&quot;;          jQuery.post(ajaxurl, {         action: &quot;vendorAjaxprog&quot;,         ffiidd: ffiidd     }, function(data) {         console.log(data);         jQuery.post(ajaxurl, {             action: &quot;getvendorresponsestatus&quot;, //&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt; this is the action that calls the function             fsid : ffiidd         },         function(datas) {             console.log('+ datas);             jQuery('.cust_vendor_top').html(datas);         });         if(data == 0){}else{             jQuery('.ajaxreload').html(data);                                     }     });               }, 5000);/*==30 seconds==*/  So the question is why wont it pass along the query array information but it passes a basic array or it will pass if I change the id in the query to be static? I know the query is good because of when I var_dumped it, I have results before I get to the Total_Result() function. Radially symmetric charge distribution (dipole moment) a) There's a radially symmetric charge density $\rho(r)$ centered around the origin. Determine the dipolemoment of that charge density. b) Let $\rho(r)$ be an arbitrary charge density now. Under what circumstances does the dipole moment of the displaced charge density  $\rho '(\vec{r}) = \rho (\vec{r}-\vec{b})$ differ from the one not displaced at all.  Here were my ideas so far: a) Just thinking about the situation it has to be zero, right? I mean, since there's no real dipole. But how do I show that mathematically? I was thinking of just going like this (it may be wrong): Let the charge density be $\rho (r)=kr$, then we can get the charge q by integrating: $$q=4\pi \int_0^R kr\cdot r^2dr=\pi k R^4$$ I'm looking at the charge distribution as a spherical electron cloud with radius $R$. Then, since $p=qd$ and $d$ is zero because there are no two different charges the dipole moment is zero. Is that sufficient as an answer? b) I don't know how to approach this one. My guess is that its dipole moment is also zero because we're only looking at a displacement here. Anyone got any idea? I would appreciate any advice on this. I use VirtualBox on my MBP and often need to mount my USB flash drive inside the guest.  The problem I'm running into is that the host OS (OS X Mavericks) immediately mounts the USB flash drive when I insert it.  When I try to unmount it (gracefully, through Finder), OS X complains that the device is in use.  Further research into lsof reveals that Spotlight and AVG are doing their thing with the flash drive.  Rather than fiddling with individual app settings, I'd like to just modify the host OS behavior so that the USB device doesn't auto-mount.  Any suggestions?
