Is “ ’s ” ever correct for pluralization? A relatively modern dictionary (I don’t know which one, because we’ve cut out the pages and used them as wallpaper in our bathroom, but I know it’s less than 20 years old) indicates that R’s is one correct pluralization of R, as is Rs, but whichever dictionary this is, it’s kind of a no-name brand, so I’m not sure I trust it.  I’ve always wondered what the best way was to pluralize single letters or numerals, like 2’s or 2s.  What’s correct? Where do files go when you AirDrop them on iOS? Where do AirDrop files go when I transfer them between an iPad, iPhone and iPod? I AirDropped some Google Docs from my iPad to my iPhone but nothing happened; where did my files go? The file was a list of tools. Two days had passed since she had last eaten or slept.   Or should it be:     Two days have passed since she last ate or slept.   Or something else? And why? The combinatorial explosion of past simple, past perfect and present perfect is killing me. How does a wavefunction collapse into one state? More specifically, what conditions cause a wavefunction for a quantum particle to collapse?    Does this have to do with density matrices?    Please try to give a mathematical explanation that is simple and concise... Who are all of the companions and how do I get them? How do we know that $F = ma$, not $F = k \cdot ma$ Find all continuous functions satisfying $\int_0^xf=(f(x))^2+C$ for some constant $C \neq 0$. Find all continuous functions $f$ satisfying   $$\int_0^xf=(f(x))^2+C$$ for some constant $C \neq 0$, assuming that $f$ has at most one $0$.  I have a question about the solution to this problem. It says that   Clearly $f^2$ is differentiable everywhere, its derivative at $x$ is $f(x)$ (I'm assuming that this is because the left hand side is differentiable, the right hand side must be differentiable as well). So $f$ is differentiable at $x$ whenever $f(x) \neq 0$, and  $$f(x)=2f(x)f'(x),$$ so $f'(x) = \frac{1}{2}$ at such points. Thus, $f= \frac{1}{2}x+b$ for some $b$ on any interval where it is non-zero; if $f$ has a zero, this gives two possible solutions, with two possible values of $b$, but since $f$ is assumed continuous, they must be the same. So we need $$\int_0^x(\frac{1}{2}t+b)dt=(\frac{1}{2}x+b)^2+C$$  so we must have $b=\sqrt{-C}$ or $-\sqrt{-C}$, leading to two solutions for $C \lt 0$.  I don't understand the bolded statements. First, how does the differentiability of $f^2$ guarantee that $f$ is differentiable, and why only at $x$ where $f(x) \neq 0$?  Next, why are there two possible solutions if $f$ has a zero, but since $f$ is continuous they must be the same?  Finally, does the last statement mean that if $C \gt 0$, then there is no solution, since we're restricted to real numbers here?  I would appreciate it if anyone answers my questions. How can I analytically prove that randomly dividing an amount results in an exponential distribution (of e.g. income and wealth)? In this current  the following is being proposed:      Suppose you randomly divide 500 million in income among 10,000   people. There's only one way to give everyone an equal, 50,000 share.   So if you're doling out earnings randomly, equality is extremely   unlikely. But there are countless ways to give a few people a lot of   cash and many people a little or nothing. In fact, given all the ways   you could divvy out income, most of them produce an exponential   distribution of income.   I have done this with the following R code which seems to reaffirm the result:  library(MASS)  w &lt;- 500000000 #wealth p &lt;- 10000 #people  d &lt;- diff(c(0,sort(runif(p-1,max=w)),w)) #wealth-distribution h &lt;- hist(d, col="red", main="Exponential decline", freq = FALSE, breaks = 45, xlim = c(0, quantile(d, 0.99)))  fit &lt;- fitdistr(d,"exponential") curve(dexp(x, rate = fit$estimate), col = "black", type="p", pch=16, add = TRUE)     My question How can I analytically prove that the resulting distribution is indeed exponential?  Addendum Thank you for your answers and comments. I have thought about the problem and came up with the following intuitive reasoning. Basically the following happens (Beware: oversimplification ahead): You kind of go along the amount and toss a (biased) coin. Every time you get e.g. heads you divide the amount. You distribute the resulting partitions. In the discrete case the coin tossing follows a binomial distribution, the partitions are geometrically distributed. The continuous analogues are the poisson distribution and the exponential distribution respectively! (By the same reasoning it also becomes intuitively clear why the geometrical and the exponential distribution have the property of memorylessness - because the coin doesn't have a memory either). How does friction stop a car? I'm unable to understand how friction causes motion in cars and also is responsible for stopping them. When it starts the impending motion of tyres is in the backward direction that's why friction is in the forward direction and the car starts moving. But when the car engine turns off, the car stops after some time, but the condition of tyres are the same as in the previous case and friction must be in the forward direction. Find where java class is loaded from Does anyone know how to programmaticly find out where the java classloader actually loads the class from?    I often work on large projects where the classpath gets very long and manual searching is not really an option.  I recently had a  where the classloader was loading an incorrect version of a class because it was on the classpath in two different places.  So how can I get the classloader to tell me where on disk the actual class file is coming from?  Edit: What about if the classloader actually fails to load the class due to a version mismatch (or something else),  is there anyway we could find out what file its trying to read before it reads it? How can I vertically align elements in a div? WinForms: How to programmatically fire an event handler? I want to programmatically invoke an event handler for a control. For example:  DateTimePicker dtpLastConsummated;   I want to trigger the TextChanged event handler for the dtpLastConsummated, how can i do it?  In other languages I would call something akin to:  dtpLastConsummated.TextChanged(this, new EventArgs());   but in .NET you can have multiple event handlers:  dtpLastConsummated.Click +=new EventHandler(dtpLastConsummated_TextChanged); dtpLastConsummated.Click +=new EventHandler(dtpLastConsummated_AnotherHandler); dtpLastConsummated.Click +=new EventHandler(dtpLastConsummated_MoreHandlers); ... dtpLastConsummated.Click +=new EventHandler(dtpLastConsummated_Nminus1);   so you need a way to trigger all the attached event handlers.    Answer  The following code will fire the event:  Toolkit.FireEvent(dtpLastConsummated, "TextChanged", new EventArgs());   And here's the code of the static toolkit function:  /// &lt;summary&gt; /// Programatically fire an event handler of an object /// &lt;/summary&gt; /// &lt;param name="targetObject"&gt;&lt;/param&gt; /// &lt;param name="eventName"&gt;&lt;/param&gt; /// &lt;param name="e"&gt;&lt;/param&gt; public static void FireEvent(Object targetObject, string eventName, EventArgs e) {    /*     * By convention event handlers are internally called by a protected     * method called OnEventName     * e.g.     *     public event TextChanged     * is triggered by     *     protected void OnTextChanged     *      * If the object didn't create an OnXxxx protected method,     * then you're screwed. But your alternative was over override     * the method and call it - so you'd be screwed the other way too.     */     //Event thrower method name //e.g. OnTextChanged    String methodName = "On" + eventName;     MethodInfo mi = targetObject.GetType().GetMethod(          methodName,           BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.NonPublic);     if (mi == null)       throw new ArgumentException("Cannot find event thrower named "+methodName);     mi.Invoke(targetObject, new object[] { e }); }     Note: I'm not creating a subclass of every control in the .NET framework, and every 3rd party control, and convincing an enterprise worth of developers to retrofit every form to use my custom controls. Should we write “allow” or ”allows” in “require that the class allow[s]”? Can you explain to me whether I should or should not use ‑s at the end of the  verb allow in this sentence?     This function requires that the container class allow[s] random access   The sentence in the book I read wrote allow without ‑s. However, the container class is a third-person singular, so the ‑s must be required. Is that right? Why are real symmetric matrices diagonalizable? Using single quote by curly braces in String.format in Dynamic SOQL I'm struggling to use String.format to replace a token with a value when the token is within single quotes:  Example:  String query = String.format('SELECT Id FROM Availability WHERE Person__c = \'{0}\'', personId);   String query is equal to:  SELECT Id FROM Availability WHERE Person__c = {0}   Rather than:  SELECT Id FROM Availability WHERE Person__c = '234567890' What should I do when the GETDEB repository is down? Okay, obviously beyond Data and the Soong-type androids. But seriously, we have more robots in our daily life now than there apparently are on Trek. Is there a canon answer why not? It seems like Star Wars is more on the nose in this regard - it’s unclear why all dirty/dangerous/boring work wouldn’t be done by robots (anthropomorphic or not). What are the downsides of removing ubuntu-desktop metapackage? I have read both two uses:   The combinations of a, b and c, taken two at a time, are ab, bc, ac. We can not help but noticing a harmonious combination between classic and contemporary.   Are both uses interchangeable? Perhaps substitute combinations among for combinations of in the first sentence? Any idea is appreciated. How do I install Java?
