Discrepancy in using adjective or adverb with “taste” A cop vs a superhuman criminal I read the story over ten years ago while I was still trying to learn English, so I can only vaguely remember that the story is about a cop trying to track down a criminal who had superhuman abilities. Some of his abilities were pyrokinesis, using his mind to form a golem from earth and roam around while he stays in the room and stopping time. Eventually the cop was able to catch the criminal and shot him dead.   If anyone could identify the book I would be very grateful. I'd love to read it for nostalgic purposes. The number of books in economics that we need to buy (is/are) three 1) The number of books in economics that we need to buy (is/are) three.   or       2) A number of books in economics that we can buy for the course (is/are) available in the college book store.   Possible answers:  a)is  b)are  My approach:  I am confused here why is and are are used in the 1 and 2 sentence.  What they exactly mean according to subject verb agreement rules. is a wonderful freeware Windows swiss-army-knife for image viewing &amp; editing.  For me, the key features are fast viewing, simple editing (crop, contrast, brigthness, rotation, resampling), file operations (delete, copy to folder) and extended image information access (exif data) combined in the same interface. Versatile batch jobs are a very nice bonus.  But unfortunately IrfanView is for Windows only, and isn't . What would be the nearest equivalent for linux? How do I redirect in a class sub-classing the EventSubscriber class? Correct use of 'with' or 'at' when talking about percentages? I'm writing the following sentence:     Women lead uptake at XX%.   But a friend is saying that it should be written:     Women lead uptake with XX%.   Which one is correct? Recently, on my Ubuntu 18.04 I have noticed that at least on gnome-calculator and chromium browser the fonts are displayed as squares. I have followed instructions  and , the calculator is fixed, but the problem on chromium still exists when I open a dialog to search for a file.  Not sure if this happens on other applications as well, I haven't checked all my apps, but File managers nemo and nautilus are working fine.  Also, before few months ago, I have included some windows fonts for my libre office shown . I used the copy (cp) method, not the link (ln -s). But, was working fine until yesterday. Haven't done any major change or update, at least on my Linux partition (dual boot). But, I don't think that this has anything to do with that.  Any idea how can I fix this issue?  . So yesterday I dropped my iPhone into the toilet, it was literally submerged for less than 15 seconds and after taking it out I left it in my airing cupboard overnight to dry. Today the phone seems to be completely functional other than a very dark screen (changing brightness won't help).   Was wondering what the best course of action would be and if this is fixable. This question is inspired by    I see these constructs  for file in `find . -type f -name ...`; do smth with ${file}; done   and  for dir in $(find . -type d -name ...); do smth with ${dir}; done   being used here almost on a daily basis even if some people take the time to comment on those posts explaining why this kind of stuff should be avoided... Seeing the number of such posts (and the fact that sometimes those comments are simply ignored) I thought I might as well ask a question:  Why is looping over find's output bad practice and what's the proper way to run one or more commands for each file name/path returned by find ? Serving wp-includes (front-end) javascript from a different domain? The WordPress Codex points to an extremely simple way to change the URL of the wp-content directory, which is, adding this in wp-config.php:  define( 'WP_CONTENT_URL', 'http://example.com/wp-content');   And that does the job of serving most of the JavaScript and CSS files on my website from the different domain, except two.  http://mywebsite.com/wp-includes/js/comment-reply.js http://mywebsite.com/wp-includes/js/quicktags.js   The reason is very clear — these JavaScript files are served from within the wp-includes directory, which is not affected by the aforementioned rule.  So, is there a similar or simple method to have them served from example.com i.e. the domain of my choice? or is unregistering and enqueuing the scripts from a custom URL (done in functions.php) the only way? Integral Representation of the Zeta Function: $\zeta(s)=\frac1{\Gamma(s)}\int_{0}^\infty \frac{x^{s-1}}{e^x-1}dx$ How does one get from this $$\zeta(s)=\sum_{k=1}^{\infty}\frac1{k^s}$$ to the integral representation $$\zeta(s)=\frac1{\Gamma(s)}\int_{0}^\infty \frac{x^{s-1}}{e^x-1}dx$$ of the Riemann Zeta function?  I can see that it can be rewritten as  $$\Gamma(s)\zeta(s)=\int_{0}^\infty \frac{x^{s-1}}{e^x-1}dx$$ and the Gamma function as an integral yields  $$\zeta(s)\int_{0}^\infty \frac{x^{s-1}}{e^x}dx=\int_{0}^\infty \frac{x^{s-1}}{e^x-1}dx$$  But this approach does not work as the right integral does not converge.  So how does one go from the summation to the integral representation? Basis of the null space Find the basis of the null space for the matrix  $$D = \begin{bmatrix}0 &amp; 0 &amp; 0 &amp; 0\\0 &amp; 1 &amp; 1 &amp; 0\\1 &amp; 1 &amp; 0 &amp; 0\\1 &amp;1 &amp; 0 &amp; 0\end{bmatrix}.$$  I computed the solution by letting eigenvectors $(x,y,z,w)$ such that $y+z=0,x+y=0$, and I got a basis vector $\{(1,-1,1,0), (0,0,0,1)\}$ . But from one textbook  I have found the solution as $\{(1,0,0,0),(0,0,1,1)\}$. May I made a mistake? Thanks! Let $\mathbb{F}_3$ be the field with three elements. Let $n\geq 1$. How many elements do the following groups have?   $\text{GL}_n(\mathbb{F}_3)$ $\text{SL}_n(\mathbb{F}_3)$   Here GL is the , the group of invertible n×n matrices, and SL is the , the group of n×n matrices with determinant 1. How much will a poor first semester affect my grad school chances? How to solve this recurrence $T(n) = 2T(n/2) + n\log n$ How can I solve the recurrence relation $T(n) = 2T(n/2) + n\log n$? It almost matches the Master Theorem except for the $n\log n$ part. How can I calculate what the effect of an extension tube will be? How to use PSTricks in pdfLaTeX? I'd like to play Dragon Age Inquision in english instead of the language of my operating system, but it seems to default to that and I can't find a way to change it. I already tried setting the Origin client language to english, but that didn't change anything.  Where can I change the language for Dragon Age: Inquisition? Using The Terminal Command to Shutdown, Restart and Sleep My Mac? I'm getting more interested in using Terminal as an alternative way to address solutions on my Mac. I have seen this question entitled .  I would therefore like to know:  How to shut down, restart and sleep my Mac using the Terminal command exclusively ?
