Significant predictors become non-significant in multiple logistic regression .NET - What's the best way to implement a "catch all exceptions handler" I'm wondering what the best way is to have a "if all else fails catch it".  I mean, you're handling as much exceptions as possible in your application, but still there are bound to be bugs, so I need to have something that catches all unhandled exceptions so I can collect information and store them in a database or submit them to a web service.  Does the AppDomain.CurrentDomain.UnhandledException event capture everything? Even if the application is multithreaded?  Side note: Windows Vista exposes native API functions that allow any application to recover itself after a crash... can't think of the name now... but I'd rather not use it, as many of our users are still using Windows XP. How we differentiate between flash memory and SD card memory? How do I delete a board when the admin is no longer part of the group? One of our programmers decided to leave us. We took him off the group, but his board that he is the only admin of is still hanging around. How do I remove it? Conjugate subgroup strictly contained in the initial subgroup? Suppose we have $n$ covariates $x_1, \dots, x_n$ and a binary outcome variable $y$. Some of these covariates are categorical with multiple levels. Others are continuous. How would you choose the "best" model? In other words, how do you choose which covariates to include in the model?  Would you model $y$ with each of the covariates individually using simple logistic regression and choose the ones with a significant association? I have these two CREATE TABLE statements:   CREATE TABLE GUEST (   id int(15) not null auto_increment PRIMARY KEY,   GuestName char(25) not null );  CREATE TABLE PAYMENT (   id int(15) not null auto_increment   Foreign Key(id) references GUEST(id),   BillNr int(15) not null );   What is the problem in the second statement? It did not create a new table. Computation of a limit involving factorial $\lim_{n \to \infty} \sqrt[n+1] {(n+1)!} - \sqrt[n] {(n)!} = \frac{1}{e}$ This has just dawned on me that if you're writing an operating system then what are you writing it on? I ask this as I am reading a microprocessor fundamentals book from 1980 and this question popped in to my head:   How was the first microprocessor chip programmed?  The answer may be obvious but its bugging me. Solving minimization problem $L_2$ IRLS (Iteration derivation) In the article ''' Chartrand, Rick, and Wotao Yin. "Iteratively reweighted algorithms for compressive sensing." Acoustics, speech and signal processing, 2008. ICASSP 2008. IEEE international conference on. IEEE, 2008. '''  It is given that one iteration of  iterative reweighed least squares problem can be written as $\min \sum_{i=1}^N w_i u_i^2 $ subject to $\Phi u = b  $ which has a closed form solution given as   $u^{(n)} = Q_n \Phi^T (\Phi Q_n \Phi^T)^{-1} b$. where $Q_n$ is the diagonal matrix containing entries $1/(|u_i^{(n-1)}|^2 + \epsilon )^{1/2} $ And the closed form equation can be derived from the Euler Lagrange equation. Can someone please help me to get the derivation of the iteration?\ I understood till $$\min_u u^TWu+λ|| \Phi u−b||_2^2 $$  which can be written as $(\bigtriangledown=0)$ which gives $$ W u + \lambda (\Phi^T \Phi u - \Phi^T b) =0$$ Using getline(cin, s) after cin How to install hp scanjet 200 in Ubuntu 12.04? Unable to scan with hp scan-jet 200. When I type lsusb command in terminal it shows the scanner details.  I opened the simple scan which displays no scanners found, and x sane image scanners also displays the same error. Efficient list intersection algorithm Given two lists (not necessarily sorted), what is the most efficient non-recursive algorithm to find the intersection of those lists? Read MIME data using PHP arbitrary large finite sums of an uncountable set. How to prove that given an uncountable subset $A$ of $R^+$, there exits a finite number of elements in A whose sum is arbitrarily large? Is there anyway to get tuple operations in Python to work like this:  &gt;&gt;&gt; a = (1,2,3) &gt;&gt;&gt; b = (3,2,1) &gt;&gt;&gt; a + b (4,4,4)   instead of:  &gt;&gt;&gt; a = (1,2,3) &gt;&gt;&gt; b = (3,2,1) &gt;&gt;&gt; a + b (1,2,3,3,2,1)   I know it works like that because the __add__ and __mul__ methods are defined to work like that. So the only way would be to redefine them? Transfer Clash of Clans account from one G+ to another G+ account? I would like to create a virtual device in Android Studio but I can't because hardware acceleration is disabled.  I went to the BIOS and there are two option :  AMD-SVM AMD-IOMMU   Both are enabled.  I also downloaded the HAXM installer from the SDK manager and tried to run it from the   C:\Users\%user%\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\extras\intel\Hardware_Accelerated_Execution_Manager  with intelhaxm-android file.  I got an error telling me :   This computer does not support Intel Virtualization technology VT X or it is exclusively used by Hyper V. HAXM cannot be installed. Please ensure that hyper V is disabled in windows feature   It makes sense that I can't activate Intel Virtualization technology because I have AMD Ryzen 7 2700U.  With my previous computer it worked just fine but I had an Intel processor.  Some tutorials online suggested to enable windows Hyper-V feature but it's only available for windows 10 pro.  Does anyone know a way to activate hardware acceleration with AMD processor and without Hyper-V feature? Forward/Inverse Search Does Not work on certain tex files I have this weird issue with forward and inverse searches. I am using WinEdt + Sumatra combination. The forward and inverse search works perfectly on certain some .tex files, but fails on some others.  Currently, I am working on a .tex file and the inverse search always points to the end of a section. Where ever I double click in a particular section of the pdf, the inverse search points to the end of that section in the .tex file.  Moreover, when I try to perform forward search (Shift+F8) from the .tex file, the section in the pdf file doesn't get highlighted.  There are other .tex files where both the searches work perfectly. What could be the issue with this .tex file? Since I've a database systems examination in less than 3 hours (from now), I have been browsing Stack Exchange network for questions with normalisation and related tags. Most of the questions are now closed as  or others from the list.  Since, these questions are closed, no users are allowed to post answers to them (unless they are reopened). Why am I, then, allowed the option to protect such questions? Doesn't that beat the entire purpose behind "protecting" a question?
