connectedness of uniform topology Suggested Edits Dashboard doesn't agree with Suggested Edits view I recall :    It was one that I knew could use a bit more spit and polish, but I didn't have the inclination or energy to edit it myself, so I skipped it.  I wander my way over to  (10K only), and look at the listing...    ...so, when did I approve this again? I skipped the question; that doesn't mean I gave my tacit approval, does it?  Seems like the dashboard needs to agree with the suggested edits view. Redirect 301 with hash part (anchor) # What does 'Ign' , `Get` or 'Hit' mean when running an apt-get update? TimeSpan to String causing an error Pagination not working with custom loop I've got a custom loop that I'm using to display some Real Estate listings that will be available within 60 days. I'm calling it with the following function:   &lt;?php  $sixtydays = date('Y/m/d', strtotime('+60 days')); $paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1; $query = new PostsOrderedByMetaQuery(array(   'post_type' =&gt; array('post', 'real-estate'),   'meta_key' =&gt; 'Time Available',   'meta_compare' =&gt; '&lt;=',   'meta_value' =&gt; $sixtydays,   'paged' =&gt; $paged,   'orderby_meta_key' =&gt; 'Price',   'orderby_order'    =&gt; 'ASC' )); ?&gt; &lt;?php while ($query-&gt;have_posts()) : $query-&gt;the_post(); ?&gt;   While the loop works great, I can't get it to paginate. It shows the first 10 (my default) posts but doesn't show the pagination. The only way to display all posts is to show them on one page by adding 'posts_per_page' =&gt; -1, I have similar loops on other pages that have no problem paginating. The only difference with this one is that there are two meta keys that are filtering the posts.   I'm using WP Page Navi for this and the rest of my pages. I'm closing the loop and adding the pagination using the following code:   &lt;?php endwhile; // End the loop. Whew. ?&gt; &lt;?php wp_pagenavi(); ?&gt; &lt;?php wp_reset_query(); ?&gt;   How can I go about fixing this? Why Lasso or ElasticNet perform better than Ridge when the features are correlated I have a set of 150 features, and many of them are highly correlated with each other. My goal is to predict the value of a discrete variable, whose range is 1-8. My sample size is 550, and I am using 10-fold cross-validation.   AFAIK, among the regularization methods (Lasso, ElasticNet, and Ridge), Ridge is more rigorous to correlation among the features.  That is why I expected that with Ridge, I should obtain a more accurate prediction.  However, my results show that the mean absolute error of Lasso or Elastic is around 0.61 whereas this score is 0.97 for the ridge regression. I wonder what would be an explanation for this.  Is this because I have many features, and Lasso performs better because it makes a sort of feature selection, getting rid of the redundant features? How to programmatically login/authenticate a user? In how many ways can we choose k items from n distinct items put in a circle.   Then further extension of the question, if I want to find out the number of ways to choose k items from n distinct items in a circle such that no 2 are together.  Thanks Old-style/Antique typesetting in LaTeX/TeX How to remove the Mail icon indicator applet? I read this book about 20-30 years ago. It's about a group of teenagers who wake up in a huge room where each is on a separate platform. As the book progresses, they go unconscious and the platforms change, move or become connected. The children are punished or rewarded through a variety of methods including food and pain. The goal is to get them to either hurt each other, or see if they band together, I can't quite remember. Please tell me if this sounds familiar. Why is carbon dating limit only 40,000 years? How do I determine if a number is prime?  I'm writing a program where a user inputs any integer and from that the program determines whether the number is prime, but how do I go about that? What would be the easiest way to view classes, methods, properties, etc. inside a jar file? I'm looking for something equivalent to the very useful  Lutz Roeder .NET Reflector  - for Java For $n$ a positive integer, let us write $\zeta_n = e^\frac{2 \pi i}{n}$, a primitive $n$th root of unity. It is clear that, if $m$ divides $n$, then we have an inclusion of cyclotomic fields $$ \mathbb{Q}(\zeta_m) \subseteq \mathbb{Q}(\zeta_n).$$ On the other hand, these inclusions are not always strict. For example, since $\zeta_3  = \frac{1+i \sqrt{3}}{2}$ and $\zeta_6 = \frac{-1 + i \sqrt{3}}{2}$, we have $$\mathbb{Q}(\zeta_3) = \mathbb{Q}(\zeta_6) = \mathbb{Q}(i\sqrt{3}).$$ Does this sort of thing happen infinitely often, or are there just some coincidences among small numbers? If this continues, is there some way to know when a particular inclusion of cyclotomic fields is strict? Update: (Originally this was a comment, but I thought it was worth sharing here at the top.)   In the original question, I asked if there was a polite, socially-acceptable way to ask an Indian co-worker not to use the phrase "do the needful", as I didn't care for it.   In the years since I asked this question I've asked many people about the phrase. To the Indians I've asked in-person, it's not rude in any way. To Americans I've asked it varies anywhere from "I don't like it, but I don't mind it" to "It's very rude and makes me angry when I see it".   Through a long series of edits the question morphed and I wasn’t able to delete it because it had upvoted answers. The question, as it stands now, has no other answer.  I guess, though, if you're non-Indian and you find it rude, or if you're Indian and you've never realized someone might find it rude, this post may still have merit. Hopefully it does. It certainly has gotten a lot of views. Best wishes, folks.  End Update. See below for what's left of the actual question.    "Do the needful."   It's a phrase that I've only seen used in email, and I find it . . . presumptuous (maybe even rude). Regardless of prefacing with "please", one is commanding rather than asking for assistance.  I've only seen it used by those of Indian origin, so I've simply not mentioned it at all rather than worry about any cross-cultural offense that may come of bringing it up.  But still, I don't understand why it's used. Why not request rather than make two statements, one factual, one imperative?  For example, why would one use:        I'm told you have Jane's email address. Please do the needful.      instead of,        Would you send me Jane's email address? Read from location on console C# Suppose we have two functions, $f:X\rightarrow Y$ and $g:Y\rightarrow Z$.

Essentially I am wanting to produce an atlas based on a categorical field in a point layer.   i.e. I have a point layer of childcare providers with the categorical field "Provision". I've categorized each feature in this field with "After School Club" , "Breakfast Club" etc, and I now want to produce a set of maps that iterate through each category and show only the points for each. One map of after school clubs, one map of breakfast clubs etc. The extents might be subtly different.  I could do it one by one but it seems like there should be a way to produce an atlas based on the extents of each category? (I do feel i'm missing something obvious :) )   Or alternatively is there a way of automating the creation of a polygon layer and using that as a hidden coverage for the atlas?  EDIT: I've made a little progress with this  - you can use rule based styling to switch on and off features relevant to the current atlas coverage feature.  it actually works fine if all you want to do is show a different set of points. I'm now looking at tying that back to a color scheme and reactive legend.
