How can I type a Unicode character (for example, em-dash —?) The title pretty much says it all: how can I type Unicode characters - specifically the em-dash —? I'm calculating the covariance of a distribution in parallel and I need to combine the distributed results into on singular Gaussian. How do I combine the two?  Linearly interpolating between the two almost works, if they are similarly distributed and sized.   provides a forumla at the bottom for combination but it doesn't seem right; two identically distributed distributions should have the same covariance, but the formula at the bottom of the page doubles the covariance.  Is there a way to combine two matrices? Can you trip as part of a Tome of Battle Maneuver? Expected Value of a Hypergeometric Random Variable I have a log file being written by another process which I want to watch for changes. Each time a change occurs I'd like to read the new data in to do some processing on it.  What's the best way to do this? I was hoping there'd be some sort of hook from the PyWin32 library. I've found the win32file.FindNextChangeNotification function but have no idea how to ask it to watch a specific file.  If anyone's done anything like this I'd be really grateful to hear how...  [Edit] I should have mentioned that I was after a solution that doesn't require polling.  [Edit] Curses! It seems this doesn't work over a mapped network drive. I'm guessing windows doesn't 'hear' any updates to the file the way it does on a local disk. How can I create light trails without a blurry subject? I would like to achieve this effect using my Nikon P510:      Are there any suggestions or tips that would help me do that? Creating polyline-based "heatmap" from GPS tracks? This winter I am planning to track my downhill skiing/snowboarding using a GPS.  Most of my riding will occur at the same resort.  I would like to be able to create a sort of "heatmap" that shows the amount of runs that I have made in a given area.  As I add more and more GPS traces to my database, my goal would be to see a sort of linear heatmap of the most traveled areas.  Given the nature of downhill skiing, you would expect the uphill chairlift lines will be the "hottest" because it will be the only places visited over-and-over again.  Given that 1) my track will not be the same every time and 2) the area covered by following one "run" may be a few hundred feet wide, what might be the best way to analyze this "linear" data to create a sort of heatmap?  My thoughts were to buffer the lines, then intersect the polys to get a sort of Venn Diagram thing going.  My preference is to use open-source technologies.  I've got QGIS and PostGIS loaded and available.  UPDATE: In regards to @blah238's response, I was thinking of something that might be able to "collect" the number of passes ("runs") through an area, and then symbolize by the count.  Conceptually, this would be similar to ArcGIS "" (but for lines, not points) or  (but for multiple line in roughly the same area).  A more visual example of a similar concept might be a traffic-flow map, where highly-congested areas would equate to "highly-traveled" ski runs/areas:    I've read the following questions that may give some ideas, but they don't really address what I am trying to accomplish: Drawing text and line-dasharray Is it possible with TileMills and CartoCSS? What exactly happened with Dr. Crusher's husband and Captain Picard? How to prepare files for rsync on a case insensitive filesystem? I am transferring a large number of files on a HFS+ filesystem.  The files are currently on ext2 partitions.  I have conflicts due to case insensitivity of the target partition (HFS+).  I want to identify the files that have duplicates filenames once they are in lower case, and delete them if they are actually duplicates.  I also found that I will have duplicate folder names if I convert everyhing to lower case. Basically these hard drives contain years of unsorted data, and I happen to have this problem with folder names too.   Does this seem reasonable:  find . -type f | while read f; do echo $f:l; done | sort | uniq -d    $f:l is ZSH for convert to lower case.  Now I want to keep only one instance of each file that have duplicates. How to do this efficiently ?  I do not want to find files with duplicate content, unless they have the same lower case filename. I will deal with duplicates later. Regular expression to match DNS hostname or IP Address? Does anyone have a regular expression handy that will match any legal DNS hostname or IP address?  It's easy to write one that works 95% of the time, but I'm hoping to get something that's well tested to exactly match the latest RFC specs for DNS hostnames. I try to clean my mid-2015 Macbook Pro with Retina display by wiping the screen with a damp cloth and then immediately drying.  However, there seems to be left some residue/streak marks, which look very oily. Sometimes these disappear after a few minutes, but they are still very unsightly, and a bit worrying (is there something wrong with my screen?)  I'm wondering if there are other cleaning techniques which avoid this issue, or whether this is completely normal behaviour.  Thank you! I have an elliptic curve $E$ over $\mathbb{F}_{11}$ defined by $y^2=x^3+4x$ with the point at infinity $\mathcal{O}$  I have a divisor of $E$, defined by $$D=\left[(0,0)\right]+\left[(2,4)\right]+\left[(4,5)\right]+\left[(6,3)\right]-4\left[\mathcal{O}\right]$$  I know that $\text{deg}(D)=1+1+1+1-4=0$ and it is clear that $\text{sum}(D)=\infty$  Therefore $D$ is the divisor of a function - we want to find this function  I am given \begin{align}\text{div}(y-2x)&amp;=\left[(0,0)\right]+2\left[(2,4)\right]-3\left[\mathcal{O}\right]\\ \text{div}(x-2)&amp;=\left[(2,4)\right]+\left[(2,-4)\right]-2\left[\mathcal{O}\right] \end{align}  I am then told that we can express $D$ as follows:  $$D = \left[(2,4)\right]+\text{div}\left(\frac{y-2x}{x-2}\right)+\left[(4,5)\right]+\left[(6,3)\right]-3\left[\mathcal{O}\right]$$  However, when I expand this back out, I get the following:  \begin{align}D &amp;= \left[(2,4)\right]+\text{div}\left(\frac{y-2x}{x-2}\right)+\left[(4,5)\right]+\left[(6,3)\right]-3\left[\mathcal{O}\right]\\ &amp;= \left[(2,4)\right]+\text{div}(y-2x)-\text{div}(x-2)+\left[\left(4,5\right)\right]+\left[(6,3)\right]-3\left[\mathcal{O}\right]\\ &amp;= \left[(2,4)\right]+\left(\left[(0,0)\right]+2\left[(2,4)\right]-3\left[\mathcal{O}\right]\right)-\left(\left[(2,4)\right]+\left[(2,-4)\right]-2\left[\mathcal{O}\right]\right)+\left[\left(4,5\right)\right]+\left[(6,3)\right]-3\left[\mathcal{O}\right]\\ &amp;= \left[(0,0)\right]+2\left[(2,4)\right]+\left[(4,5)\right]+\left[(6,3)\right]+2\left[\mathcal{O}\right]-\left[(2,-4)\right] \end{align}  which clearly isn't equivalent to the original $D$ unless $$\left[(2,4)\right]+2\left[\mathcal{O}\right]-\left[(2,-4)\right]=-4\left[\mathcal{O}\right]$$  Can anyone either explain what I've done wrong or show me how I can obtain the above equation please    This question comes in three parts:   Step 1 - This one Step 2 -  Step 3 - Apparent Violation of Newton's $3^{\text{rd}}$ Law and the Conservation of Momentum (and Angular Momentum) For a Pair of Charged Particles Consider a system of the two identical positive point charges situated in free space (isolated from the influence of any other external fields) as shown in the attached diagram. Particle $1$ is at $(a,a,0)$ and particle $2$ is at $(0,a,0)$. Their velocities, at the considered instant of time, are as shown in the diagram ($\mathbf{v}_1$ along the $+x$ axis, $\mathbf{v}_2$ along the $+z$ axis).    Now, by applying the Biot-Savart law, we find that the magnetic field due to particle $2$ at the position of particle $1$ is along $+y$ axis, which means that the force acting on particle $1$ is along $+z$ axis according to Fleming’s left-hand rule. A similar analysis shows that there is no magnetic force on particle $2$ as the magnetic field of particle $1$ should vanish at positions (relative to particle $1$) located along its velocity vector.  Now, if we observe the net torque on the system of two particles about the $y$ axis then it is non-zero and is directed along the $-y$ axis. Here, there are no external forces or torques acting on the isolated two-particle system, and yet the net torque, as well as the net force on the particles, are nonzero. Why? Also, Newton's third law of motion seems to be broken in this scenario. Why?    Edit $1$  I have come to know from the responses that the electromagnetic field itself takes away some momentum and angular momentum about the considered axis. However, I think that if I consider only two charged particles as my system then the Abraham-Lorentz force can be assumed to be acting upon the system, and that is sufficient to make sure that we have considered the momentum being carried away by the electromagnetic field itself.   Even after considering the action of the Abraham-Lorentz force for the two-particle system, the scenario breaks both Newton's third law and the conservation of linear and angular momentum. This is because the Abraham Lorentz forces do not exactly counterbalance the force and the torques, on the two-particle system under consideration, due to the magnetic field.    Edit $2$  The previous edit was a result of confusion and misunderstanding on my part. The force associated with the momentum carried away by the electromagnetic field as a result of the electromagnetic interaction described in the question is the Lorentz force itself which simply doesn't obey the third law of motion. The Abraham-Lorentz force is a different story. It is associated with the momentum carried away by the radiation emitted by the accelerated charged particles. This is an additional force apart from the Lorentz force and corresponds to an additional carriage of momentum by the electromagnetic field. The momentum carried away by the electromagnetic field in correspondence with the Lorentz force doesn't correspond to radiation. Bash is not finding a program even though it's on my path I have a program on my path.  The program runs when executed with a full path specified.  But the program cannot be found when I run it with just its name.    Essentially, I want to understand how the below output is possible, and how to fix it so that my program can actually be found without a full path specified:  root:/usr/local/bin# ./siege **************************************************** siege: could not open /usr/local/bin/etc/siegerc run 'siege.config' to generate a new .siegerc file **************************************************** root:/usr/local/bin# echo $PATH /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games root:/usr/local/bin# siege bash: /usr/bin/siege: No such file or directory root:/usr/local/bin# wtf!?!?   I'm on Ubuntu 12.04 using bash.  Also please note the warning output from siege is not relevant for the purposes of this question, as I am only interested in whether or not the program can be found and invoked. I've seen a lot of people talking about FPGA's before and I know that it stands for field-programmable gate array but how does it work and what is the purpose of using an FPGA? How can I get an email message's text content using Python? There are many times when I'd like to jot a short note in my passport. For example, the business purpose of an entry into a country -- or for countries with automatic passport control and when I don't get a stamp, I'd like to notate my entry and departure.   Can one write in one's own passport? I wouldn't of course write over any stamps, but I might write near them. Or could I use a back page as entry and departure dates?  Yes, I could use a separate piece of paper or a computer file, but having them all in my passport would be handy -- especially when a border officer asks where I've been and why.   And if the laws vary by country, can you note this in your answer? Would it matter if my notations were in ink or pencil? These aren't doodles but business-like annotations and lists.
