Animagi (Sirus specifically) and wands? What is going on in front of and behind a fan? Why is it that when you drop paper behind a fan, it drops, and is not blown/sucked into the fan, whereas if you drop paper in front of a fan, it is blown away? Implicit conversion issue in a ternary condition How to check if a number is a power of 2 Today I needed a simple algorithm for checking if a number is a power of 2.  The algorithm needs to be:   Simple Correct for any ulong value.   I came up with this simple algorithm:  private bool IsPowerOfTwo(ulong number) {     if (number == 0)         return false;      for (ulong power = 1; power &gt; 0; power = power &lt;&lt; 1)     {         // This for loop used shifting for powers of 2, meaning         // that the value will become 0 after the last shift         // (from binary 1000...0000 to 0000...0000) then, the 'for'         // loop will break out.          if (power == number)             return true;         if (power &gt; number)             return false;     }     return false; }   But then I thought, how about checking if log2 x is an exactly round number? But when I checked for 2^63+1, Math.Log returned exactly 63 because of rounding. So I checked if 2 to the power 63 is equal to the original number - and it is, because the calculation is done in doubles and not in exact numbers:  private bool IsPowerOfTwo_2(ulong number) {     double log = Math.Log(number, 2);     double pow = Math.Pow(2, Math.Round(log));     return pow == number; }   This returned true for the given wrong value: 9223372036854775809.  Is there a better algorithm? Inferring father/son relationships from Senior (Sr.) / Junior (Jr.) naming? As in my other questions, I am investigating the spread of the Blackstone family name in early America. I came across the following tidbits and I would like to know if my interpretation is (likely to be) correct.  In the "All Kent County, Delaware Probate Records, 1680-1800" collection on ancestry.com, we have the following items.   In 1792, there was a will executed by Eben Blackiston, Sr. In 1794, there was a will executed by Ebenezer Blackiston, Jr. (and Abraham Redgrave).   My question is simple.  Is this enough evidence to reasonably conclude that there was a father/son combo of Ebenezer Blackistons living in Kent County, Delaware during the 1790s?  This would be an interesting result for me as my current research only has two people by this name in the state at the time, and none of them were part of a Jr./Sr. combination.  If this is not enough evidence, what are some other possibilities I need to consider? Prove $[\sin x]' = \cos x$ without using $\lim\limits_{x\to 0}\frac{\sin x}{x} = 1$ I came across this question:   From the comments, Joren said:     L'Hopital Rule is easiest: $\displaystyle\lim_{x\to 0}\sin x = 0$ and $\displaystyle\lim_{x\to 0} = 0$, so $\displaystyle\lim_{x\to 0}\frac{\sin x}{x} = \lim_{x\to 0}\frac{\cos x}{1} = 1$.   Which Ilya readly answered:     I'm extremely curious how will you prove then that $[\sin x]' = \cos x$   My question:  is there a way of proving that $[\sin x]' = \cos x$ without using the limit $\displaystyle\lim_{x\to 0}\frac{\sin x}{x} = 1$. Also, without using anything else $E$ such that, the proof of $E$ uses the limit or $[\sin x]' = \cos x$.    All I want is to be able to use L'Hopital in $\displaystyle\lim_{x\to 0}\frac{\sin x}{x}$. And for this, $[\sin x]'$ has to be evaluated first.    Alright... the definition that some requested.   Def of sine and cosine: Have a unit circumference in the center of cartesian coordinates. Take a dot that belongs to the circumference. Your dot is $(x, y)$. It relates to the angle this way: $(\cos\theta, \sin\theta)$, such that if $\theta = 0$ then your dot is $(1, 0)$.  Basically, its a geometrical one. Feel free to use trigonometric identities as you want. They are all provable from geometry. Recommended books for advanced undergraduate electrodynamics How To check Windows device is rooted/jailbrake or not programatically? For what longest possible time it was possible to hold light in a closed volume with mirrored walls?   I would be most interested for results with empty volume but results with solid-state volume may be also interesting. I'm currently studying  and Python programming. I just want to know how I would go about executing a Linux command in Python. The commands I want to execute are:  echo 1 &gt; /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --destination-port 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 8080   If I just use print in Python and run it in the terminal will it do the same as executing it as if you was typing it yourself and pressing Enter? Cardinality of a set of closed intervals What is the cardinality of the set S of all closed intervals on the real number line with rational (positive) lengths?  I believe the number of intervals with a specific fixed length but varying start points is |R|, and the number of intervals with a fixed start point but varying lengths is |Q| = |N|. I think the answer to the question would then be |S| = |R x N| = |R|? I'm not quite sure how to prove the last equality though. Would I have to define a bijective function that maps elements of (R, N) to R? How would I approach doing so? Finitely generated monoids- axiomatization- compactness theorem. How can I get bold math symbols? To make Latin-letter variables bold I can use e.g. \mathbf{a}, but while putting Greek letters or symbols such as \nabla inside \mathbf doesn't cause any errors or warnings, it also doesn't do anything else.  What is the best way to make bold math symbols, in particular Greek letters and \nabla? How to prove Euler's formula: $e^{i\varphi}=\cos(\varphi) +i\sin(\varphi)$? Could you provide a proof of Euler's formula: $e^{i\varphi}=\cos(\varphi) +i\sin(\varphi)$? How do you correctly say large numbers Here's my proof in my own words, does it stack up?   Showing $A$ is complete implies $A$ is closed. Let $(x_n)$ be a convergent sequence in $A$. $A$ is complete $\implies (x_n) \to p \in A$. Hence $A$ is closed. Showing $A$ is closed $\implies$ $A$ is complete. Let $(x_n)$ be a convergent sequence in $A$. $A$ is closed $\implies (x_n) \to p \in A$. As every convergent sequence is a Cauchy sequence, $(x_n)$ is a Cauchy sequence in $A$ that converges to $p \in A$ and hence $A$ is complete.   That sound ok?  As an aside, it seems to me that the definition of completeness and closed are basically identical, why are there two definitions for the same thing? Am I missing something here? How can I get Stack Exchange to send me to a conference? I read , which states,  Depending on the circumstances and location, we can also sponsor community leaders to attend an event on behalf of their site. We will subsidize your costs to attend, within reason, and provide you with a bunch of swag to use as an ice-breaker when introducing yourself.  This sounds great. But the blog is sparse on the details. What do I actually have to do to get in on this? Can I use the "Scan" button with SANE? I have an HP Deskjet with integrated scanner. It has a "Scan" button on its top, but this button does not interact with the xsane program on my Debian machine: To get a page scanned, I have to initiate the scanning process from xsane.  Is there a setting (or a scan program) that allows me to press the scan button and cause the program to scan a page? Is Bran able to have children after his fall? The thing that made me ask this question was that most of Stark family are dead and Bran is now the "heir" to Winterfell. So I guess he should have children to succeed him, otherwise the Stark line will end. (I'm assuming Arya will not come back to Westeros and Rickon's fate is sealed, though I could be wrong.) I don't remember reading anything about it. Lifting idempotents modulo a nilpotent ideal
