How to secure recommendations and apply for PhD after having worked outside of academia for two years? Copy current terminal prompt to clipboard Is there a way to copy the currently written content of the bash prompt? Say I wrote:  ping www.google.com   so that the lines in terminal looks like:  petr@sova:~$ ping www.google.com   and didn't hit return yet. I want to copy that text to clipboard. Is that possible?  The usual usecase would be hitting up several times and finding a command which I want to copy. Why does my user number show up in the search box when clicking my profile information? What is the method to make files in a USB Flash Drive undeletable? Does these method work with USB 3.0 interface?  (I have surveyed some Flash Drive manufacturers, and I only see undeletable files for USB 2.0 drives, and not 3.0 drives. One manufacturer claimed that USB 3.0 cannot do undeletable file, so I am curious whether the claim is correct...) In Season 6, we find out the following about the magical properties of the wall:     BENJEN: This is where I leave you.   BRAN: You're not coming with us?   BENJEN: The Wall is not just ice and stone. Ancient spells were carved into its foundations. Strong magic to protect men from what lies beyond. And while it stands, the dead cannot pass. I cannot pass.   —"Winds of Winter" (Game of Thrones, S06E10)   So why would the men of Westeros need to worry about the Night King and his army? Couldn't they sit back and enjoy the wall's protection? Nicely force 66 characters per line This question is regarding the minecraft Beta 1.8 prerelease -- I have a beautiful house in single player survival which I'd like to record while flying.  I want to be able to change the game mode of my survival map to creative to be able to fly through it without installing a mod. I know it is possible if you run the map on a multiplayer server via the command /gamemode &lt;user&gt; 0|1 but I want to achieve this in single player :)  I think this would be possible through editing your level.dat file as I think that's where the game mode for the map is stored. How to create a batch job, numbering images (writing text on them) from 1 to 100 in Photoshop? Looking to create a 100 images that would have their appropriate numbers written on them.  Since I`ll be most likely making changes to the template in the future I figured it would be better to automate it somehow.  Is there a simple solution to this problem? Is password confirmation necessary on a Change Password dialog? How do the Goodman-Kruskal gamma and the Kendall tau or Spearman rho correlations compare? In my work, we are comparing predicted rankings versus true rankings for some sets of data. Up until recently, we've been using Kendall-Tau alone. A group working on a similar project suggested we try to use the  instead, and that they preferred it. I was wondering what the differences between the different rank correlation algorithms were.  The best I've found was , which claims Spearman is used in place of usual linear correlations, and that Kendall-Tau is less direct and more closely resembles Goodman-Kruskal Gamma. The data I'm working with doesn't seem to have any obvious linear correlations, and the data is heavily skewed and non-normal.  Also, Spearman generally reports higher correlation than Kendall-Tau for our data, and I was wondering what that says about the data specifically. I'm not a statistician, so some of the papers I'm reading on these things just seem like jargon to me, sorry. How to unit test an object with database queries I've heard that unit testing is "totally awesome", "really cool" and "all manner of good things" but 70% or more of my files involve database access (some read and some write) and I'm not sure how to write a unit test for these files.  I'm using PHP and Python but I think it's a question that applies to most/all languages that use database access. Well structured URLs vs. URLs optimized for SEO Let’s take an example of a movie site. So a well structured set of URLs for this site can be:     Movie page - example.com/movies/the-matrix Review for movie - example.com/movies/the-matrix/reviews Trailers for movie - example.com/movies/the-matrix/trailers Specific trailer for movie - example.com/movies/the-matrix/trailers/trailer1   where it’s possible to navigate the resource even by directly deleting/appending resource name seamlessly.  For SEO purpose I read somewhere that for two given pages, Google will prefer the page which have search query up in the URL hierarchy among other things. So for the given 2 URLs and the query "the matrix trailer"    example.com/movies/the-matrix/trailers example.org/trailers/the-matrix/    `     Google might prefer the second URL as it has the keyword "trailer" at first level comparing to first URL which has "trailer" at 3rd level (a resource deeper in URL hierarchy may be less important).    If it is correct, one may be tempted to create URL hierarchy somewhat like      Movie page - example.com/movies/the-matrix Review for movie - example.com/reviews/the-matrix/ Trailers for movie - example.com/trailers/the-matrix/ Specific trailer for movie - example.com/trailers/the-matrix/trailer1     which will break the seamless hierarchy.    My questions are:   Is it true that resource deeper in URL hierarchy is tend to be less important when comparing to URLs of other site?   Is sacrificing meaningful, seamless hierarchy worth for this SEO optimization? I see ads to other SE sites regularly on the sidebar of SO. Are these questions chosen by hand, or algorithmically? The reason I ask is that there was an ad pointing to  on Seasoned Advice. I'm all for a good laugh I suppose, but is this the kind of question that should be highlighted?  It's obviously a thriving community, but if this were my first exposure to that community, and I saw that the highest-rated answer -- from the user with the highest reputation -- was (and I paraphrase only lightly):  &quot;Why yes, there is tool that can cut cherry tomatoes in half.  It's fantastic for the job.  It's called a freakin' KNIFE!&quot;  would I ever want to visit again, let alone ask a question over there? First impressions count for a lot, and that one missed the mark IMHO. If the selection method is algorithmic, I suppose there's no reliable way to detect sarcasm in a highly-rated answer, but if it's manual, weeeellllllllll ... :) I am intermediate in PHP. To polish my skills I start learning Drupal 7. While learning Drupal architecture concepts, the terms hooks and bootstrapping puzzled me a lot. I read the "Pro Drupal development" book, and some documentation on drupal.org, but it is so advanced for me to learn how hooks work in Drupal to display the web page.  Can anyone tell me what hooks are in simple words? Can I declare a duplicate page via javascript for google? Most sources of documentation state that one can declare a webpage a duplicate of another by applying this tag on the duplicate page:  &lt;link rel="canonical" href="(absolute URL to original page)"&gt;   I could generate the above tag via the script below:  &lt;script&gt; var l=document.createElement('Link'); l.rel='canonical';l.href='(absolute URL to original page)'; document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(l); &lt;/script&gt;   My question is, would google be able to process this javascript and believe I'm declaring the page as a duplicate page? or would I be forced to use the link tag in the header?  I ask because I'm trying to reduce the unnecessary bytes required to be processed before the actual user readable content begins. How to stop a sponge cake (chiffon cake) from deflating/sinking? Can I be automatically notified of prolonged blocking in SQL server? About once a week I have to resolve a blocking chain on a SQL Server 2005 database, caused by a long-lived read lock from an Access 2003 front-end. The lock is taken out whenever a user opens a certain form and is released once the user has finished scrolling through the form or closes it. Since many of our users open this form as reference, these locks stay around for a while. Any update to the table causes the blocking, and suddenly nobody can select from this table since they're all waiting on the first lock. This is quite a problem for us, since lots of apps rely on this data. I understand that this locking behavior is part of how Access works with linked tables.  I've been solving the problem from Activity Monitor,  whenever I find out about it. This is a problem not only because it takes me time to do it manually, but also because it's reactive. By the time I hear about it, it's already been a problem for a lot of people.  I'd like to know if there is an automatic way to check for these long-lasting blocking chains, and either be emailed or have the problem resolved automatically. The logic seems straightforward enough ("if any process matching this SELECT query has been blocking for longer than a minute, notify me/kill it") but I don't know how to implement this with SQL Server.  For what it's worth, I think the proper solution is to fix or rewrite the app. However, due to departmental politics, this is not an option for the next few months, so I'm looking for a stopgap. Difference between force.com and salesforce.com? What the difference between the two?  This description seems to be a bit out of date and underspecified.
