Split 3D line feature at vertices based on slope change
Removing unnecessary vertices?
What makes some laser beams visible and other laser beams invisible? Negative R squared contradicts ssa/sst? Do muggleborns get their letter on their 11th birthday or the summer before they start Hogwarts? A lot of the fanfiction seems to like to give Hermione her letter in September to coincide with her birthday. That just doesn't seem very logical for the Statute of Secrecy, as you then have 10 out of every 12 10-year-old wizards and witches knowing about magic while finishing the school year (assuming even distribution of birthdays).   It seems to me that this is just asking at least one of them to brag about knowing magic and spill the secret.   Also this would mean that the poor kid born on 30 of August would only have 2 days to adjust to being magical before being shepherded off to a boarding school in the middle of nowhere.  From another point of view, getting such news on your birthday can screw up a lot of celebration plans.  Also, from rereading the memory from Dumbledore where he introduced magic to Tom, there is no mention of snow or even closeness to his birthday from the caretaker.  I believe this view came from the fact that Harry got his letter on his birthday but that piece of fanon seems to forget that letters were being sent up to at least a week or 2 beforehand (leading to the Dursleys hiding on a rock in the sea in the first place). HTML Element Array, name="something[]" or name="something"? I installed ubuntu 16.04 LTS, but there is no ubuntu one software, not in ubuntu software center also..Though it is showing selected in unity tweak tool.How can I get it. Please reply. Running Yosemite 10.0 with a clean erase and install, when I reboot, all my launchpad apps are totally disorganised, folders and un-official apps disappears...  After reorganizing the layout twice, I don't want to keep sorting my launchpad every time I restart my Mac. What are the blue dots next to App names in iOS and macOS? They disappear once you open the apps and then return to the home screen, but I can't tell what they indicate.  Are they apps that haven't been opened since an app update? Or that it thinks have never been opened (not accurate in my case, but that could be a function of a "restore" confusing the phone). Should I vary input field lengths in a single page checkout form? How to mount a RAM disk on startup? I'm trying to mount a RAM disk on startup with this:  /Users/Aram/Development/Tools/ramdisk.sh  diskutil erasevolume HFS+ "RamDisk" `hdiutil attach -nomount ram://800000`   com.aram.ramdisk.plist  &lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?&gt; &lt;!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN"          "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"&gt; &lt;plist version="1.0"&gt;     &lt;dict&gt;         &lt;key&gt;Label&lt;/key&gt;         &lt;string&gt;com.aram.ramdisk&lt;/string&gt;         &lt;key&gt;ProgramArguments&lt;/key&gt;         &lt;array&gt;             &lt;string&gt;/bin/sh&lt;/string&gt;             &lt;string&gt;/Users/Aram/Development/Tools/ramdisk.sh&lt;/string&gt;         &lt;/array&gt;         &lt;key&gt;RunAtLoad&lt;/key&gt;         &lt;true/&gt;     &lt;/dict&gt; &lt;/plist&gt;   And then running:   sudo chown root:wheel /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.aram.ramdisk.plist sudo launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.aram.ramdisk.plist   But I get these in the console:  1/08/12 1:29:25.982 PM fseventsd[64]: could not open &lt;&lt;/Volumes/RamDisk/.fseventsd/fseventsd-uuid&gt;&gt; (No such file or directory) 1/08/12 1:29:25.982 PM fseventsd[64]: log dir: /Volumes/RamDisk/.fseventsd getting new uuid: 102D7293-F1F1-4640-AA50-D547C365339F  1/08/12 1:29:24.561 PM sudo[1193]:     Aram : TTY=ttys000 ; PWD=/Library/LaunchDaemons ; USER=root ; COMMAND=/bin/launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.aram.ramdisk.plist  1/08/12 1:40:17.052 PM com.apple.launchd[1]: (com.aram.ramdisk) Throttling respawn: Will start in 8 seconds   It works if I set KeepAlive to true, but then it creates a RAM disk every 10 seconds.  Is there a way to delay the script for 10 seconds before running? In .NET, the  is used in a lot of places throughout the .NET base class libraries. Implementing it properly is especially important to find items quickly in a collection or when determining equality.  Is there a standard algorithm or best practice on how to implement GetHashCode for my custom classes so I don't degrade performance? Can I turn off macOS Catalina's internal display without close the lid while using an external monitor? I am trying to run Notepad as admin so I can edit my hosts file from the command line.  I have tried runas /user:(myusername)\administrator "notepad c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts" I then input my password and I get     RUNAS ERROR: Unable to run - notepad   c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts 1327: Account restrictions are   preventing this user from signing in. For example: blank pa sswords   aren't allowed, sign-in times are limited, or a policy restriction has   been enforc ed.   PS: I know if I give permission to my user account I can edit it without running as admin. But I'd like to know how to do this without having to change permissions on the hosts file. I just picked up a copy of Windows 7 Pro OEM for install on my computer.  Guy at the store said the only real difference between OEM and standard retail box was tech support.  However, the outside of the box has this big warning that says "The software must be installed with an OPK"?  What is the OPK?  Is it really necessary?  The MS site about it seemed to say it was optional.  EDIT:  BTW - I'm just an individual tinkerer, and not a System Builder Company Employee.  I should have made that clear.  I've used sysprep in a professional setting in the past, so I'm somewhat familiar with its concepts. Make wifi preferable over wired connection in Ubuntu 14.04? How do I make Ubuntu choose wifi connection over wired connection when both are connected to internet?  I edited the Ethernet connection to route using the preference "Use this connection only for resources on this network", which other people have reported having success with as a means of getting WiFi preferred, but it doesn't work for me. The issue persists. Ethernet is still being preferred for internet, and WiFi gets ignored.   another thing, is it possible to use wired connection as fail over connection to wireless? $G$ is non abelian simple group of order $<100$ then $G\cong A_5$ Books or resources for learning unified view of classical statistics? I did a science PhD doing applied bayesian statistics, and I liked it so much that I decided to shift to statistics.  For the last 2-3 years have been working at a firm that has more of a frequentist focus.  It seems to me that the bayesian approach (at least what I learned) has an underlying theory that was laid out and I could understand.  Now I find this - more classical - field fascinating but I am looking for some resources to get a unified view of the matter.  For example, I am learning and applying anovas, F-tests and chi-squares, thinking about degrees of freedom, etc but part of me is looking for deeper understanding that would make it more than just methods.  Does anyone have any suggestions on books or more resources that provide such a unified, deeper focus? Why does println(array) have strange output? ("[Ljava.lang.String;@3e25a5") Can you find all classes in a package using reflection? Is it possible to find all classes or interfaces in a given package? (Quickly looking at e.g. , it would seem like no.) Calculating half derivative of $x$ using Cauchy's repeated integral formula As far as I know, Cauchy's repeated integral formula is defined as: $$(I^nf)(t)=\frac{1}{\Gamma(n)}\int_a^x (x-t)^{n-1}\space f(t)\space\space dt,\space\space n\notin Z_{\le 0}$$  I know that Gamma function is not defined for negative integers and $0$. I also know that differentiation and integration are inverse operators so I thought of finding $\frac{-1}{2}$th antiderivative of $f(x)=x$ so that I can find the half derivative of $x$. However it seems that it does not work. What is the problem with this? Am I missing something or is it not possible? I know some other ways of finding half derivative of $x$, so what I am asking is the problem about what I tried.  My attempt: $$\frac{1}{\Gamma\left(-\frac{1}{2}\right)} \int^x_0(x-t)^{-\frac{3}{2}}\space t\space dt=\frac{x}{2\sqrt{\pi}}\int^0_x u^{-\frac{3}{2}}\space (x-u)\space du$$  This definite integral is divergent and so I cannot get to a result. PHP is not working well on Ubuntu 13.10 and mcrypt is missing in phpmyadmin I've upgraded from UBUNTU 13.04 to 13.10 but I can not work with PHP pages or phpmyadmin . I've tried this way to install lamp on Ubuntu sudo apt-get install lamp-server^ phpmyadmin and I've done all of the configuration correctly after installation I've added this line  Include /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf to  /etc/apache2/apache2.conf then I restarted apache2   Now I have two problems:   In phpmyadmin on the bottom of the page is this error : The mcrypt extension is missing. Please check your PHP configuration  I've check  and mcrypt was in it , but in phpmyadmin it gives me error of missing .   The other problem is on PHP pages it seems like there is no PHP and it's all html because lots of PHP lines are printed in textbox's like : &lt;? echo $row['details']; ?&gt; Can anybody tell me what should I do ?
