Why are cash advance limits lower than my credit limit?
Credit cards: How is a cash advance different from a purchase? Why are the fees so high?
Do you use NULL or 0 (zero) for pointers in C++? Just wondering if someone can give me an explanation for this capacitor layout - what is it's function? The chip to the right is an ADC.  Circled in blue.    I'm guessing it is well known but i don't know how to search for it. Configure HAProxy to include host headers for different backends I am exploring the use of HAProxy as a balancer in front of a set of web apis that run on IIS.   node1.myapp.mycompany.com node2.myapp.mycomapny.com   We are currently using Host Headers to correctly resolve the right web application on IIS.  For example, we may have otherapp.mycompany.com running on the same server/port, but using Host Headers IIS knows which one to serve up.  My initial attempt at HAProxy left me with 404 errors, because I was not including the host headers in my request, and so IIS was serving back the default site bound to the given IP, and not resolving by host name.    The fix left me with something like this:  frontend localnodes     bind *:80     mode http     default_backend nodes  backend nodes     mode http     balance roundrobin     option forwardfor     reqirep ^Host: Host:\ node1.myapp.mycompany.com     server web01 node1.myapp.mycompany.com:80   This works great for a single backend, but I am left scracthing my head on how to include the correct host headers depending on which backend is serving up the request:  backend nodes     mode http     balance roundrobin     option forwardfor     reqirep ^Host: Host:\ node1.myapp.mycompany.com     server web01 node1.myapp.mycompany.com:80     server web02 node2.myapp.mycompany.com:80   The above does not work whenever node2 is used because it doesn't resolve correctly in IIS (node2 in this case is on a different server, and therefore different IP.  In fact, if they were running on the same server/ip I suspect the request work "work", but they would all be served by node1 per the host header).     Is it possible to set the host based on the url of the backend used to serve up the request? If so, this implies my checks also need to provide the correct host header based on backend, how would that be done?   Edit: Am using HA-Proxy version 1.7.9 2017/08/18  Let me give this just a little more background.  We used to have just myapp.mycompany.com serving up api requests.  We need to expand it.  Our clients will still call myapp.mycompany.com, but that will just point to the HAProxy, which will balance it out to node1.myapp.mycompany.com and node2.myapp.mycompany.com.  Our current server configurations have us binding a single IP address on each server, so we use host headers to resolve. Non-uniform distribution of p-values when simulating binomial tests under the null hypothesis I heard that under the null hypothesis the p-value distribution should be uniform. However, simulations of binomial test in MATLAB return very different-from-uniform distributions with mean larger than 0.5 (0.518 in this case):   coin = [0 1]; success_vec = nan(20000,1);  for i = 1:20000     success = 0;     for j = 1:200         success = success + coin(randperm(2,1));     end     success_vec(i) = success; end      p_vec = binocdf(success_vec,200,0.5);     hist(p_vec);   Trying to change the way in which I generate random numbers didn't help.  I would really appreciate any explanation here. Is there anything like “cubic formula”? For a distribution function $F(x)$ and constant $a$, integral of $F(x + a) - F(x)$ is $a$. For any distribution function and any $a \geq 0$, $\int_{-\infty}^{\infty} (F(x+a)-F(x))dx = a$.   In this case, "distribution function" means a right continuous function F with $F(-\infty) = 0$, $F(\infty)= 1$.   This problem comes after a section in the book on mathematical expectation, so I suspect I should use some property of expectation to prove it. Expectation appears to be something that applies to random variables, so I think I should be somehow transforming the problem into something in terms of expectations of random variables, but I'm not sure how. I know that given a distribution function, I can get a probability measure, but I'm not sure how to go from there to a random variable and actually get a relation between the expectation of the random variable and this integral. I'm sure whether this is the right way to go about this problem, but if it is, I'm missing a connection somewhere. I just bought a house. Now I'm getting ads in the mail every day or two trying to get me to sign up to pay my mortgage bi-weekly (every two weeks) or weekly instead of monthly. In their words I could cut seven years and thousands of dollars off what I pay in long term. It seems like I would be paying the exact same amount of money, also.  I know "if something sounds too good to be true then probably it is". But I cannot figure out why in this case. What is the catch? Or is this something I should be signing up for ASAP? I have two files in a directory. One has correct permissions and the other has not. Is there a way I can "copy" the set of permissions from one file to another? How do I remove log out, reboot, and shut down from GNOME shell application list? I’m new to Ubuntu. I don't know where the log out, reboot and shut down icons in my application list came from. I just need to remove this from here. How can I reset my Ability Points? I'm also curious about being able to reset my points, should I wish to change my ability configuration later.  So far (10h-ish) I've only seen one way, which is a potion sold by Kiera Metz for 1000g. However she's no longer available as a store, due to a story choice, so I'm not sure where else I could buy this potion.  Where might I buy this potion, and is it the only way to reset your ability points? Skype window problem in Ubuntu 14.04 I've just upgraded from Ubuntu 18.04 to its newest LTS version - 20.04. While it comes with some interesting changes, the Desktop icon system was messed up in my opinion. When you hover the mouse cursor over the icons, you see a huge space marked around them that cannot be violated (as you can see in the image below) so that they need to be placed very far apart from each other.  18.04 allowed you to place icons much closer to each other and didn't have that marked space around them. This new way leaves much less space on the Desktop to organize large amounts of icons - including folders, files and shortcuts. Is there a way I can significantly reduce the size of icons and their "spaces" or go back to the old system of organizing files? On "Settings", there is a tool to change the size of Dock icons, but not of Desktop icons.  Also, every time I move or delete something, the Desktop "flashes" and the icons seem to rearrange themselves automatically, nothing of which happened in 18.04. I also can't move anything directly to the Desktop; I need to move to the Desktop folder on Nautilus. This makes me start to think about downgrading Ubuntu back to 18.04. What do 'real', 'user' and 'sys' mean in the output of time(1)? $ time foo real        0m0.003s user        0m0.000s sys         0m0.004s $   What do 'real', 'user' and 'sys' mean in the output of time?  Which one is meaningful when benchmarking my app? The locker problem - why squares? There are 1000 lockers in a high school with 1000 students.  The    problem begins with the first student opening all 1000 lockers; next    the second student closes lockers 2,4,6,8,10 and so on to locker 1000;   the third student changes the state (opens lockers closed, closes    lockers open) on lockers 3,6,9,12,15 and so on; the fourth student    changes the state of lockers 4,8,12,16 and so on. This goes on until    every student has had a turn.      How many lockers will be open at the end?   I worked out this problem by doing it for 10 lockers. The pattern was obvious (1,4,9 remained open).It's easy to then say that 31 lockers remain open at the end. I don't quite understand why only square numbers remain open at the end. Is there some deeper reason? How do I perform a redirect to a custom URL after login? I am trying to redirect users to a custom URL after they logged in, but my code doesn't work.  How do I redirect users after they logged in? How can I make Devanagari fonts render properly in Ubuntu 16.04?

Let’s assume it’s a simple harmonic oscillator potential and the particle is in its ground state with energy E0 = (1/2) &#8463;&omega;0. We measure its position (measurement-1) with a high degree of accuracy which localises the particle, corresponding to a superposition of momentum (and therefore energy) states.  Now we measure the particle’s energy (measurement-2) and happen to find that it’s E10 = (21/2) &#8463;&omega;0. Where did the extra energy come from?  In the textbooks it’s claimed that the extra energy comes from the act of observation but I wonder how that could work. Measurement-1 which probed the position of the particle can’t have delivered to it a precise amount of energy, while measurement-2 might just have been passive. No doubt there is entanglement here between the particle state and the measuring device but where, and which measurement? I have installed Ubuntu subsystem on Windows 10 (after enabling feature in settings), but where is the Ubuntu file system root directory located in the drive?
