This backslash in my FRC vision program is not an escape sequence, but I cannot figure out what it is?
How can I do a line break (line continuation)?
Text to Speech shortcuts with two languages Solving an equation over the reals: $ x^3 + 1 = 2\sqrt[3]{{2x - 1}}$ Solve the following equation over the reals:$$ x^3  + 1 = 2\sqrt[3]{{2x - 1}} $$ I noticed that 1 is a trivial solution, then I tried raising the equation to the 3rd, then dividing the polynomial by $(x-1)$.. But I can't see the solution, how do I go from here? Avoiding confusion over the term "Research Assistant" Is a general GRE score of X sufficient for entry to postgraduate degree Y? What programming languages can I use in Blender? What version of Python does Blender use and are other languages available? Also, does Python work the same in Blender as when you write console applications or when working with Pygame or are there any differences? If so, what are the main differences? Justify text inside itemize environment with beamer class Allow cross-site queries in data explorer I think it would be useful if we could join across databases in the data-explorer.  For example, I'd like to query up a list of questions that I had a hand in migrating away from SO, and see what percentage of them were subsequently closed or re-migrated.  I realise I could download the various data dumps and do this on my own machine, but it would be nice if it were allowed on the online version.  Is this possible/practical? "Hope you won't" vs "Hope you don't" What is the difference between "Hope you don't mind" and "Hope you won't mind"? What could be a contextual difference between the two? In a situation like the following, which one seems more appropriate?        Expect me to knock on your door sometimes. Hope you don't mind -or- Hope you won't mind (my knocking on your door) $|f(x)-f(y)|\geq k|x-y|$.Then $f$ is bijective and its inverse is continuous. My exercise says: Let $f:\mathbb{R} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ a continuous function e suppose that exists $k$ such that:  $$|f(x)-f(y)|\geq k|x-y|$$  Then $f$ is bijective and  its inverse is continuous.  Well, there's a Theorem , Invariance of domain, that says   "If $U$ is an open subset of $\mathbb {R^n}$ and $f : U \rightarrow\mathbb{R}$ is an injective continuous map, then $V = f(U)$ is open and $f$ is a homeomorphism between $U$ and $V$".  But I'm not knowing how to proceed...need a clue...Thanks for attention!!! During real, everyday use, that is?  I'm looking to upgrade a drive in a MacBook Pro, and am looking at either a 750GB/7200RPM or a 1TH/5400RPM drive.  Would I care about the speed difference? Is it worth giving up the additional space on the larger drive? Which derivation of drift velocity is correct? In the derivation of drift velocity I have seen two variations and want to know which one's correct.   $s=ut+\frac{at^2}{2}$ Assume that the drift velocity of any electron in any conductor is : $$\vec{v_d}=\frac{\vec{l}}{t}$$ Due to the electric field the acceleration of electrons in any conductor is: $$a=\frac{-e\vec{E}}{m}$$ Now the distance travelled by an electron after a long time (initial thermal velocity = 0) $$l=\frac{at^2}{2}\implies \frac{-e\vec{E}t^2}{2m}$$ the time between the collisions is $\tau$ $\therefore$ $$l=\frac{-e\vec{E}\tau^2}{2m}$$ thus the velocity is $$\vec{v_d}=\frac{-e\vec{E}\tau}{2m}$$ In another proof I saw the author using $v=u+at \implies v_d=\frac{-e\vec{E}\tau}{m}$   My question is which of the the two equations of motion can be used in the proof? Can they be used at all. Oxford Comma Conventions According to the Wikipedia page for the , "Use of the comma is consistent with conventional practice" and "Use of the comma is inconsistent with conventional practice." Did the Oxford Comma come before its omission, or was the Oxford Comma traditionally omitted?  It makes logical sense that every item in a list would be separated in the same way: by a comma. If the Oxford Comma is conventionally correct, when and why did people begin to omit it? Footnotes layout in multicols environment I am using the package multicol to typeset a one-column (spanning the entire text width) heading and a two-column main text block. In order to do so, I begin the multicols environment along with the start of the text block. The one-column heading spans a small fraction of the text height in the front page and I need to set a footnote there, before starting the two-column environment. I'd like to have that footnote typeset under the first column in the two-column running text. How could I possibly do this?   Moreover, I'd like to have the footnotes typeset in a single column under one of the text columns -- I don't even mind having them as two-column footnotes, but what I do not want is a footnotes layout spanning the entire text width. I have tried with the command \twocolumnfootnotes from the class memoir, with the packages ledmac, dblfnote, and even with ftnright (the latter complains about its being used in a single-column document, due to that one-column heading). None has proved useful in this setting. As a less than MWE, just to convey a more concrete depiction of my scenario, let us consider:  \documentclass{memoir}  \usepackage{multicol}  \begin{document}  A single-column heading\footnote{Here I have my footnote.}  \begin{multicols}{2} Here I am in the two-column environment, and I want my footnotes being set in accordance with the document's ``columnwidth''.\footnote{A footnote in the two-column environment.} \end{multicols}   \end{document} How to Add Background Images in 2.8 and later 2.81a here. I am trying to add a "background image" similar to how , so that I see a screen that looks something like this:    However I can't figure out how/where to access this screen in 2.81a as the UI is wildly different. Any ideas?  I am new to Blender so if you can provide a click-by-click list of instructions it would be enormously appreciated! What does kill 0 do actually? In the man page, it says:  kill [ -s signal | -p ] [ -a ] [ -- ] pid ...  pid... Specify the list of processes that kill should signal.  Each pid can be one of five things:           0      All processes in the current process group are signaled   And I tried like this in bash:  $ man kill &amp; [1] 15247 $ [1]+  Stopped                 man kill $ kill 0 $ ps 15247 pts/41   00:00:00 man   Here 0 is used as pid. As I understood, kill 0 will kill all processes in the current process, which includes pid15247. However, it didn't do anything in this example. Does anyone have ideas about how to use it? echo text after curl command on same line #!/bin/bash echo "$(curl -s -I https://google.com|grep Server)" abc   returns:  abcer: gws   and bash -x shows:    ++ grep Server ++ curl -s -I https://google.com ' abco 'Server: gws  abcer: gws   but    echo abc "$(curl -s -I https://google.com|grep Server)"`    returns  abc Server: gws   In other words, if I add text AFTER the curl command, it gets mangled, but it's ok if I add it before curl. What is happening? I cannot figure it out. Finding centrelines from polygons in QGIS? I was wondering if there is a way to create centre lines from polygons in QGIS? I have a polygon layer, but ideally need the centrelines as a separate file. If granted omniscience and we know that $\beta_1$ in a multiple linear regression model is truly 0, what does that mean in words (and math notation)?  The model is: $Y = \beta_0 + \beta_1X_1 + \beta_2X_2 + \epsilon$  Does $\beta_1 = 0$ mean:   Empirically: "If we make infinite, perfect measurements of our data, $\hat\beta_1$ approaches 0 at the limit?" [Math: ??] Formally: "In the true, finite population of our data, $X_1$ has 0 association with $Y$ and their vectors of values are perfectly linearly independent, uncorrelated, and orthogonal?" [Math: ??]   What does $\beta_1 = 0$ mean, precisely? Proving any number of the form $2^n$ can't be written as the sum of k consecutive numbers. Changing precision on a column in the attribute table without losing data? I have data in an Excel file that I want to join with a shapefile in my project. The Excel file contains values like volumes. The Excel file and the shapefile I want to join it with both contain the same property names.  The problem is, when I join the two, I get too many decimals in the attribute table. I get six, but I only want it to be one.  I tested to change the format of the cells to one decimal, and then I saved the file as *csv. But, somehow I seem to loose data in the process? It should be 42 rows that contains data in the column i am working with, but I end up with only like 10?  Another thing is that my property names contains the letters Å. Ä and Ö, perhaps this complicates things?  I read the question , but it doesn't mention the problem with the data loss.  My question was tagged with , but I didn't write what version I'm using. I use QGIS 2.2.0. Would it help to upgrade to the latest version?
