Using a Sprite image with input
If matrix A is invertible, is it diagonalizable as well? If a matrix A is invertible, then it is diagonalizable. Is it true or false? How do I remove a configuration object from the active configuration? I'm writing a custom module for Drupal 8. It defines a field storage configuration object, in a file called modules/mymod/config/install/field.storage.bloom_stem.bs_twitter_ac.yml.  The problem is that this is not removed when I uninstall the module; it is apparently left behind because, when I re-install the module, I get a crash.   drush -y pm-uninstall mymod drush cr drush -y en mymod      exception 'Drupal\Core\Config\PreExistingConfigException' with message 'Configuration objects (field.storage.bloom_stem.bs_twitter_ac) provided by mymod already exist in active configuration'   So it seems I need to some how manually remove this configuration object. Do I need to provide some more code that deletes it when the module is uninstalled? I've got a question about how to drive the car in Europe on Highways. In the US, I can overtake another car on either side, and I am fine.  In Europe I was told that I have to drive on the right side (Germany), and to overtake on the left side of the other driver.  Now I had following situation, and I did not know how to handle this properly: I was driving along on the right lane, the Autobahn was 3 lanes wide on my side, and was going around 110 km/h. Someone overtook me, but he stayed on the middle lane, and suddenly got slower. He wasn't really in front of me, so I could not change to the left lane, but I was told I may not overtake on the right side.  Would I have to brake in such a situation, or should I just ignore it, and overtake him again on the right side?  (I overtook him, and he was on the phone, so I guess that was why he got distracted and slowed down that much). Getting opencv error in c++ Why was Padmé made to clean an astromech? Reading  (the Amidala stand-in) I remembered that I always wondered why she ordered the actual queen to scrub R2-D2. There were enough actual servants who could have done it, so why Padmé? If that wasn't enough, after giving the actual queen (Padmé) the order to go away, she tells Panaka to continue with the discussion. How does that make sense?  The significant piece of dialogue:     AMIDALA : Thank you, Artoo Detoo. You have proven to be very loyal...Padme!    ...    AMIDALA : (Cont'd) Clean this droid up the best you can. It deserves our gratitude...(to Panaka) Continue, Captain.   Note that this question is two-fold:   Why was Padmé chosen in the first place? Why would an important meeting with the ship's captain be continued without her? Control Android with broken screen from PC My rooted Galaxy Nexus has a broken screen. How can I use my PC (ie, via ADB) to control the phone?  androidscreencast would be the ideal solution, but its keyboard/mouse control feature does not work in Jelly Bean. Perhaps someone knows why and we can patch the code? (see: )  Installing a VNC server is another, but for the love of me I can't get it to work. Eg, using Droid VNC Server, I install the apk, and am supposed to execute /data/data/org.onaips.vnc/files/androidvncserver but there is no files directory inside org.onaips.vnc (instructions from here: ). VMLite is another VNC server that can be started with a special Windows utility (and doesn't need root!) but it's not OSS so I can't get the apk in order to install (Google Play is not pushing apps to my phone prob because I disabled some service--let me know if I can force Google Play to update itself from ADB or install the app). fastdroid-vnc is a binary (not apk) and it runs fine via shell, but something is broken and it shows nothing.  What are my options? Let's make this a community wiki, to help anyone who's broken their screen! What is the benefit of Krivine's notation? I saw some people uses Krivine's notation for function application when presenting the syntax for the $\lambda$-calculus.  For example, the $\lambda$-term $\lambda f . \lambda x . \lambda y . f\ x\ y$ (with the normal convention that function application associates to the left, so it actually means $\lambda f . \lambda x . \lambda y . ((f\ x)\ y)$) is written $\lambda f . \lambda x . \lambda y . (f)\ x\ y$ (with a similar convention that it actually means $\lambda f . \lambda x . \lambda y . ((f)\ x)\ y$).  I do not see the point of having another pair of parentheses around the innermost $f$.  Why do people use Krivine's notation instead of the usual one? Why do we need multiple approvers for suggested edits? I already have the "Edit Questions And Answers" privilege. Yet, if I approve someone else's edit, I'm told that more votes will be required before the edit is accepted.  This seems a bit peculiar to me, since I could just copy the edited version and paste it myself. See all my questions across all Stack Exchange sites? Actionbar background is not being changed How to sum 2 vectors in spherical coordinate system I have 2 vectors, and each defined by 3 coordinates: radius, azimuth and zenith How i can sum it? Help me pls guys. What i have done: I found azimuth and zenith of resultant vector, by decomposition to 2 polar vectors And it gave me 2 radiuses: radius of resultant vector for azimuth polar sum and radius of resultant vector of zenith polar sum. What can i do with them? Proving the inequality $\frac{n^k}{k^k}\leq\binom{n}{k}\leq\frac{n^k}{k!}$ involving binomial coefficient. What is the best way of proving inequalities including binomial coefficients in general? Lets look at this example:     $$\frac{n^k}{k^k}\leq\binom{n}{k}\leq\frac{n^k}{k!}$$   What I started with is:  $$\binom{n}{k}\frac{1}{n^k}\leq\frac{1}{k!}$$ $$\frac{n!}{k!(n-k)!}\frac{1}{n^k}\leq\frac{1}{k!}$$ $$\frac{(n-1)!}{(n-k)!n^{k-1}}\leq1$$ This is where I got stuck. How can I prove that is is lower than or equal to 1? Could you give me a hint? Are the decimal places in a CSS width respected? 2/15/18 compiz update broke unity This  forced removal of unity and ubuntu-desktop on my 16.04 Ubuntu system.   The offending package that is missing, but unity needs, seems to be compiz-core-abiversion-20151010. It seems to be a , and I can't find it to download.    As it happens, I mostly use LXDE on this system, but I'd be very unhappy if I used Unity...  Since I do occasionally use the Unity desktop, is there a fix for this?  Edit: related questions are rolling in. Looks like a major quality escape          Edit 2: Lets say I have something like:   \[ Let x = number of cats \]   (This is a contrived example, but pretend we are actually inside a long align environment block...) "Let" and "number of cats" need to be written like normal text, while x= needs to be math type text.  I've seen this:  \[ \mbox{Let } x = \mbox{ number of cats} \]   and this:  \[ \textrm{Let } x = \textrm{ number of cats} \]   They seem to produce equivalent output, but I'm not sure which is the "correct" one. Also, they are not ideal in that the extra space needs to be placed inside the text mode block, otherwise it is ignored as math mode and butts the text right up against the math.  Ideally there would be some command which allowed embedding text into an equation, which correctly inserted leading and trailing space around the block as required without adding space inside the text block.  How does one do that "correctly"? Quantum entanglement as practical method of superluminal communication Suppose we rotate the graph of $y = f(x)$ about the $x$-axis from $a$ to $b$.  Then (using the disk method) the volume is $$\int_a^b \pi f(x)^2 dx$$ since we approximate a little piece as a cylinder.  However, if we want to find the surface area, then we approximate it as part of a cone and the formula is $$\int_a^b 2\pi f(x)\sqrt{1+f'(x)^2} dx.$$  But if approximated it by a circle with thickness $dx$ we would get $$\int_a^b 2\pi f(x) dx.$$  So my question is how come for volume we can make the cruder approximation of a disk but for surface area we can't. How to retrieve and display images from a database in a JSP page? Link Google Form responses To Already Existing Google Spreadsheet Tab I have a Google Form. I had all of my Google Form responses linked to a specific tab in my Google Spreadsheet. Somehow my form responses were unlinked from my tab. When I go to re-link my form responses to my already existing tab it only gives me the option to create a new tab in my spreadsheet.   How do I simply re-link my Google Form responses to my already existing tab in my Google Spreadsheet? I wrote a regular expression which works well in a certain program (grep, sed, awk, perl, python, ruby, ksh, bash, zsh, find, emacs, vi, vim, gedit, …). But when I use it in a different program (or on a different unix variant), it stops matching. Why?
