Frequent Write to Non-volatile Memory collapse vs minimize Invoking shader in DX So I am new to the DX12 world. I am currently trying to tweek the nbody_gravity DX12 sample, but appending or calling another Compute Shader which is to add 2 buffers to produce an output in a different buffer.   I have written this code in "ComputeShader.hlsl" however when i tried to invoke it using the following, i get an error sayin "file not found" When i printed the debug error it says the following: D3D12GetDebugInterface: This method requires the D3D12 SDK Layers for Windows 10, but they are not present on the system.   I am invoking my shader after the default invocation to the nBodyGravity.hlsl is done:  ComPtr&lt;ID3DBlob&gt; computeShader; ComPtr&lt;ID3DBlob&gt; computeShader_m;  #if defined(_DEBUG)         // Enable better shader debugging with the graphics debugging tools.         UINT compileFlags = D3DCOMPILE_DEBUG | D3DCOMPILE_SKIP_OPTIMIZATION; #else         UINT compileFlags = 0; #endif           ThrowIfFailed(D3DCompileFromFile(GetAssetFullPath(L"NBodyGravityCS.hlsl").c_str(), nullptr, nullptr, "CSMain", "cs_5_0", compileFlags, 0, &amp;computeShader, nullptr));  //extra call for my shader ComPtr&lt;ID3DBlob&gt; error_ptr;         ThrowIfFailed(D3DCompileFromFile(GetAssetFullPath(L"ComputeShader.hlsl").c_str(), nullptr, nullptr, "main", "cs_5_0", compileFlags, 0, &amp;computeShader_m, &amp;error_ptr));  if (error_ptr) {     OutputDebugStringA((char *)error_ptr-&gt;GetBufferPointer()); }   Is there somthing amiss? I have a shapefile with 9000 agriculture fields and what I like to do is to determine for each field (=each polygon) the direction of the longest segment.  For instance, the selected polygon in the screenshot has its longest segment from west to east so I would like to mark give the polygon the attribute W (for west) or either E (for east).   Is there any solution to solve my problem in a fast but generalized way?   I do not need very detailed results. It's just for the interpretation of a question.   I'm seeking an answer using ArcGIS 10.2 for Desktop.  To be more precise on what I'm looking for I try to explain more practical: I'm doing winderosion analysis for a specific area with 9000 fields. As result I have a potential susceptibility for each field. I like to check, if the fields with high susceptibility are correlated to a certain orientation of the fields, e.g. check if most of the fields with high risk are oriented in the main winddirection or not.   The search for the longest segment is not really important for me. It was just an idea I had to determine the direction. So forget about the longest segment if there is a way to determine the direction with another method ;) Is there a general formula for finding the primitive of $$e^{ax}\sin(bx)?$$  I've done this manually with $a=9$ and $b=4$ using Euler's formulas. But it takes a bit of time. Is there a pattern here? Why is len(Posts.body) incorrect on answers in data.SE? I was trying to find a longest answer on a site, and ran into a weird discrepancy:  shows that  has a length of 36388 (length in the query is defined as LEN(Posts.Body)) Yet, the post clearly only has ~26000 characters, as measured 2 ways:  Copy/pasting full text of the answer in my text editor gives me 26040 characters (the source of the answer with all the markdown, not the rendered text which is even smaller).  Trying to post a new answer that consists of this answer's text twice gives me an error &quot;Body is limited to 30000 characters; you entered 52258&quot; - meaning that the length is under 26100 (not 100% sure where the difference in counts comes from as far as two methods)   Another example from same query:  shows len(body) of 33738 whereas the text of the answer has only 29000 characters. This clearly isn't showing rendered characters, as the rendered character count is LOWER than actual answer text when editing (e.g. links add characters, as do images). How can this data.SE discrepancy be explained? Define ≡ in this situation? I'm a photographer, who dabbles in graphic design from time to time as well. What are the differences between the various color spaces? If I have a PATH variable that (when exploded onto multiple lines) contains something like this (with a few notes added by me):  /Users/brandon/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.0.0-p353/bin /Users/brandon/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.0.0-p353@global/bin /Users/brandon/.rvm/rubies/ruby-2.0.0-p353/bin /opt/local/bin /opt/local/sbin /usr/local/sbin /usr/local/bin   # &lt;&lt;--- notice this path appears again later /usr/bin         # &lt;&lt;--- notice this comes AFTER /usr/local/bin /bin /usr/sbin /sbin /usr/local/bin   # &lt;&lt;--- here it is again! /usr/local/git/bin /Users/brandon/bin /Users/brandon/.homebrew/bin /usr/local/mysql/bin /usr/local/share/npm/bin /Applications/Postgres93.app/Contents/MacOS/bin /Users/brandon/.rvm/bin   is it possible for the presence of the second /usr/local/bin/ to cause the /usr/bin to take precedence over /usr/local/bin?  This seems crazy (to me: I've never heard of such a thing) but that's exactly the behavior I'm seeing.  I've just installed PHP with Homebrew, and yet the system PHP (from /usr/bin) is taking precedence:  $ which php /usr/bin/php   BUT, after manually altering the PATH (rather than digging through all the files sourced by my .zshrc to try to figure out why &amp; where the duplication is coming from) to remove the second instance of /usr/local/bin, I find that /usr/local/bin is taking precedence over /usr/bin as I would have expected it to in the first place:  $ which php /usr/local/bin/php   What would cause this?  Is this normal? Proper Installation of Kali linux tools in Ubuntu Black and white beads on a circle There are $n$ beads placed on a circle, $n\ge 3$. They are numbered in random order as viewed clockwise. Beads for which the number of the previous bead is less than the number of a next bead are painted in white color,and others - in black.  Two colourations that can be made equal by rotation are considered identical. How many different colourations can occur?

"calculus" and "formal system"  From      a calculus is a formal system that consists of          a set of syntactic expressions (well-formed formulæ or wffs),    a distinguished subset of these expressions (axioms), plus    a set of formal rules that define a specific binary relation on the space of expressions.      From      Formal systems in mathematics consist of the following elements:         A finite set of symbols (i.e. the alphabet), that can be used for constructing formulas (i.e. finite strings of symbols).   A grammar, which tells how well-formed formulas (abbreviated wff) are constructed out of the symbols in the alphabet. It is   usually   required that there be a decision procedure for deciding whether a   formula is well formed or not.   A set of axioms or axiom schemata: each axiom must be a wff.   A set of inference rules.      what is the difference between a formal system, and a calculus, then? I think they are the same? "calculus" and "logic system"  "Calculus" appears in "propositional calculus" and "first-order predicate calculus", which are also called "propositional logic" and "first-order logic" respectively. So I thought "calculus" and "logic" mean the same, and "a logic" is, according to ,      A logical system or, for short, logic, is a formal system together with a form of semantics, usually in the form of model-theoretic   interpretation, which assigns truth values to sentences of the   formal language, that is, formulae that contain no free variables.    But then I saw "calculus" also appears in "lambda calculus", which is also a formal system. I think a lambda calculus isn't a logic system, right? What does "calculus" mean in "lambda calculus"? Furthermore  "calculus" can also mean computational real analysis for first-year college students.   Thanks. Setting width/height as percentage minus pixels Apply a string replacement on the citation as returned by \cite I have biblatex with options  \usepackage[backend=bibtex, style=authoryear]{biblatex}   The citations made with \cite look like this: Smith, 2019 or Smith and Baker, 2019 and so on. I would like to define a command that automatically replaces the occurrence of my name with my initials. Namely I need  \cite{SmithsPaper}  % --&gt; Smith, 2019 \cite{MyPaper}      % --&gt; Manny, 2019 %%% \newcite{SmithsPaper}  % --&gt; Smith, 2019 \newcite{MyPaper}      % --&gt; MC, 2019   I have tried with the package xstring to do something like  \newcommand{\newcite}[1]{%   \begingroup   \edef\@temp{\cite{#1}}%   \StrSubstitute{\@temp}{Manny}{MC}   \endgroup }   The problem is that I can't figure out how to tell LaTeX to expand \cite{#1}. As a result the citation comes out without the replacement. If I change \cite{#1} by simply #1 and I call \newcite{bla Manny bla} it gives bla MC bla as expected.  It shouldn't be relevant but I'm using this within the beamer documentclass. Rack Mount Servers - Build them or Buy them? This is the  for "Should I build coomputing hardware myself?" questions.   I have put together countless PCs, but never a large server. The geek in me says build it, but the realist in me says let the manufacturer handle it when there is a problem. Ignoring the time penalty involved with the initial assembly time of a built one, which is a better solution? Have you ever run into a problem with a home build server that would have been solved easier/quicker/cheaper by going with a manufacturer? Are there any features that manufacturers give that aren't easily attainable with a home built server? How to get reflections from 3D to show up on real images Is my phone liable to explode if I charge it with a charger that came with a different phone? My friend and I both have droids and we often user each other's wall chargers out of convenience. I was told that it's possible that my phone might explode if it's charged with a charger that wasn't built specifically for my phone. How true is this across droids? What is the "rootless" feature in El Capitan, really? I have just learned about the "Rootless" feature in El Capitan, and I am hearing things like "There is no root user", "Nothing can modify /System" and "The world will end because we can't get root".  What is the "Rootless" feature of El Capitan at a technical level? What does it actually mean for the user experience and the developer experience? Will sudo -s still work, and, if so, how will the experience of using a shell as root change?
