Search and replace registry entry value using powershell Multiplication in Permutation Groups Written in Cyclic Notation I didn't find any good explanation how to perform multiplication on permutation group written in cyclic notation. For example, if $$   a=(1\,3\,5\,2),\quad b=(2\,5\,6),\quad c=(1\,6\,3\,4), $$  then why does $ab=(1\,3\,5\,6)$ and $ac=(1\,6\,5\,2)(3\,4)$? Prove that the sum to $n$ terms of a sequence:  $$\frac{1^2}{1\times 3}+\frac{2^2}{3\times 5}+\frac{3^2}{5\times 7}+\cdots $$ is  $$ \frac{n(n+1)}{2(2n+1)} $$ Why does pressing a transform hotkey not display the axes on the selected object? I open Blender 2.80 (official release, not a beta or RC) and get the new scene with the usual 3 objects present (camera, light and cube). I select the cube, press 't' for the tools menu and click on the Move tool. The usual 3 axis glyph appears at the cube's origin as expected. But if I use the hotkey 'g' to activate the move transform instead of selecting the tool from the menu with the mouse this glyph does not appear. The exact same problem exists if I use the a hotkey for rotate or scale as well. Why? Is there some clickable checkbox setting hidden somewhere that could have disabled this? When editing a post and using the image uploader, any unused link references are completely removed.  For example, this post has three image references, only one of which is used ([3]) in the body of the post:        After uploading a fourth image, references [1] and [2] are completely removed (and the remaining references are renumbered to become [1] and [2]):        I sometimes write link references before using them in the body of the post and sometimes remove images temporarily before reinserting them elsewhere in the post so this is inconvenient.  (Note: this also applies for the iOS app, having the same behavior) Best choice between using \\ or leaving space after each paragraph to end the paragraph Show that there are $ a,b \geq 0 $ so that $ |f(x)| \leq ax+b, \forall x \geq 0.$ The following is an excerpt from Folland's Introduction to Partial Differential Equations:  Let the open set $\Omega\subset{\mathbb R}^n$, and $k$ be a positive integer. $C^k(\Omega)$ will denote the space of functions possessing continuous derivatives up to order $k$ on $\Omega$, and $C^k(\overline{\Omega})$ will denote the space of all $u\in C^k(\Omega)$ such that $\partial^{\alpha}u$ extends continuously to the closure $\overline{\Omega}$ for $0\leq|\alpha|\leq k$.  As I understand, an extension means that there exists $\widetilde{\partial^{\alpha}u}$ which is defined on $\overline{\Omega}$ and $\widetilde{\partial^{\alpha}u}|_{\Omega}=\partial^{\alpha}u$. And "extends continuously" means $\widetilde{\partial^{\alpha}u}$ is continuous with respect to the relative topology on $\overline{\Omega}$.  Here are my questions:        How do people usually do such extension?   When does such extension exist and when does not?   Let $\Omega$ be an open subset of ${\mathbb R}$. Is there any   non-trivial counterexample such that   this kind of extension does not exist? When is a CDATA section necessary within a script tag? Are CDATA tags ever necessary in script tags and if so when?  In other words, when and where is this:  &lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt; //&lt;![CDATA[ ...code... //]]&gt; &lt;/script&gt;   preferable to this:  &lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt; ...code... &lt;/script&gt; Force JSF to process, validate and update readonly/disabled input components anyway Can I travel to Schengen countries that were not on my itinerary when I applied? Transferring Money from India Codomain of function complete implies function space complete Let $(X,d_X)$ and $(Y,d_Y)$ be two metric spaces.   Let $(C_b(X,Y), d_C)$ be a function space with the metric $$d_C(f,g):=\sup\limits_{x\in X} d_Y(f(x), g(x)).$$  Prove that if $(Y,d_Y)$ is complete then $(C_b(X,Y), d_C)$ is complete.  Unfortunately, I have no idea how to approach this problem. I can think of something like this:  Let $(y_k)_k\subset Y$ be a Cauchy sequence converging to $y\in Y$. Then there exists some $f\in C_b(X,Y)$ such that $f(x_k)=y_k$ for all $k\in \mathbb N$. Since $f$ is continuous, $\lim\limits_{k\to\infty} d_Y(f(x_k), y)=0$.  But how do I go from here? As far as I understand, what needs to be proved is that any Cauchy sequence of functions in $C_b(X,Y)$ converges in $C_b(X,Y)$, that is, that the limit is bounded and continuous. But how do we devise such a sequence of functions? ID for Contact portion of Person Account Is it possible to get the ID of a Contact which is part of a Person Account?  I have a custom object which has a custom field referencing the Person Account, though it seems to be referencing the Contact directly. I have created a button which I am using to pass the ID into a Visualforce Page.  With the Insert Field drop-down on the create/edit button page I can put in {!Account.Id} or {!Contact.Id} but neither of these work. The Account ID is placed in the URL but is not the correct ID and the Contact ID is blank, which I assume is because the button is on a Person Account page and not a Contact Page. How do I prompt users with a GUI dialog box to choose file/directory path, via the command-line? Recover accidentally removed files on NTFS partition I accidentally removed some files on a NTFS partition  How can I recover them staying inside Linux without rebooting ? I'm setting up a new server and want to support UTF-8 fully in my web application. I have tried this in the past on existing servers and always seem to end up having to fall back to ISO-8859-1.  Where exactly do I need to set the encoding/charsets? I'm aware that I need to configure Apache, MySQL, and PHP to do this — is there some standard checklist I can follow, or perhaps troubleshoot where the mismatches occur?  This is for a new Linux server, running MySQL 5, PHP, 5 and Apache 2. Double booked - User bookmarking question recorded twice In this  one user is shown as having bookmarked  twice:  This doesn't appear to be the same question as:  or  though it's certainly possible that the cause is the same. Update (March, 2012): This has been rolled out to all sites in the network.    Behind the scenes we've been hard at work making some changes to how we track reputation.  Here are some of the issues we're aiming to address with these changes:   Reputation Skew (your actual reputation doesn't match what's shown) Up/Down votes oddities (mostly with the daily rep cap, the magical +2) Historical Deletes (not impacting rep immediately, contributing to skew) Unaccepts (display issues in the profile) User Deletion (magically missing rep, another skew contributor)   To be clear: reputation values are not changing, every action in the system is still worth the same amount.   Here’s what will be different:   Your reputation will be correct at all times Deletions will have a much more immediate effect on reputation, not waiting on a recalc  (but reputation sync takes up to 5 minutes on a delete/undelete action; as to not block the user's response thread, it's offloaded to a background queue) Recalcs will no longer be necessary Up/Down vote reversals will restore the correct reputation amount Up/Down vote reversals will correctly adjust to the reputation cap The reputation history in your profile will be more detailed and accurate (e.g. when a post is deleted, you'll see that in the reputation tab of your profile)   This means your reputation will go up and down more than it has previously, but it will be in sync.  To think of it more easily: imagine that a recalc will be done after every action in the system.  Probably the biggest impact many will be concerned with is that you may see your reputation drop in cases where it didn't seem like it did before  This was effectively happening before, but the results of that change were not applied immediately, but on the next rep recalc.  Post deletion is the biggest factor here, previously it didn't (immediately) account for the reputation impact...that will no longer be the case.  Reputation changes from the deletion will now be applied within the hour, and most other changes will be instant.  Now the part that will make everyone throw vegetables our way:  this will require a global recalc to get everything in sync.  We'll be rolling it out first here on meta, then the rest of the network...the enabling of the detailed rep view and global recalc on each individual site will coincide.  During the rollout you will see empty reputation tabs on profiles as we transition to the new storage behind the scenes, they'll be restored as the recalc rolls though each user.  We’ll put up a blog post on  before the network-wide rollout.  If you have any questions about this change or details I may have left out, please do so in answers below so that we can clear up as much as possible before this rolls out.
