How to remove items from nested immutable collections
how to remove object from NSDictionary
I'm interested: What is C#'s analog of std::pair in C++? I found System.Web.UI.Pair class, but I'd prefer something template-based.  Thank you! How can I convert a std::string to int? I'm a bit annoyed with the typesetting of citations that biblatex deems "ambiguous". In the following example, I have two papers with the same first author, but a different second author in two different years. When citing in the main text, the second author is included before "et al", since biblatex deems these references to be ambiguous. However, the references were published in different years, so I cannot see why these are ambiguous. Is it possible to get these citations referenced using only the first author?  MWE  \documentclass{article}  \usepackage{filecontents} \usepackage[hyperref,style=authoryear,natbib=true,maxbibnames=10,maxcitenames=2,useeditor=false,url=false,useprefix,giveninits=false]{biblatex} \addbibresource{ref.bib}  \begin{filecontents}{jobname.bib} @book{author_book, title = {Book's title}, author = {Author, Some and Better, Some and Cetter, Some}, location = {The City}, publisher = {Publisher}, date = {2005}, } @book{author_book2, title = {Book's title}, author = {Author, Some and Getter, Some and Cetter, Some}, location = {The City}, publisher = {Publisher}, date = {2006}, } \end{filecontents}  \bibliography{jobname} % \bibliography{ref}  \begin{document} Hello world \citet{author_book} \citet{author_book2} \printbibliography \end{document} Prove that $f'(a)=\lim_{x\rightarrow a}f'(x)$. Let $f$ be a real-valued function continuous on $[a,b]$ and differentiable on $(a,b)$. Suppose that $\lim_{x\rightarrow a}f'(x)$ exists. Then, prove that $f$ is differentiable at $a$ and $f'(a)=\lim_{x\rightarrow a}f'(x)$.    It seems like an easy example, but a little bit tricky. I'm not sure which theorems should be used in here.    ==============================================================  Using @David Mitra's advice and @Pete L. Clark's notes I tried to solve this proof. I want to know my proof is correct or not.  By MVT, for $h&gt;0$ and $c_h \in (a,a+h)$ $$\frac{f(a+h)-f(a)}{h}=f'(c_h)$$ and $\lim_{h \rightarrow 0^+}c_h=a$.    Then $$\lim_{h \rightarrow 0^+}\frac{f(a+h)-f(a)}{h}=\lim_{h \rightarrow 0^+}f'(c_h)=\lim_{h \rightarrow 0^+}f'(a)$$   But that's enough? I think I should show something more, but don't know what it is. I have 3 folders with large amount of data in each which has to be maintained seperately. Can I create a sym link or shortcut.in windows which should show me the merged contents of the 3 folders. I am not looking for library conf in Win7.   Any suggestion is highly appreciated. I have Perl code which relies on Term::ReadKey to get the terminal width. My installation is missing this module, so I want to provide a default if the module isn't present rather than throw an exception. How can I conditionally use an optional module, without knowing ahead of time whether it is available. # but only if the module is installed and exists use Term::ReadKey; ...  How can I accomplish this? How can I save application settings in a Windows Forms application? What I want to achieve is very simple: I have a Windows Forms (.NET 3.5) application that uses a path for reading information. This path can be modified by the user, by using the options form I provide.  Now, I want to save the path value to a file for later use. This would be one of the many settings saved to this file. This file would sit directly in the application folder.  I understand three options are available:   ConfigurationSettings file (appname.exe.config) Registry Custom XML file   I read that the .NET configuration file is not foreseen for saving values back to it. As for the registry, I would like to get as far away from it as possible.  Does this mean that I should use a custom XML file to save configuration settings?  If so, I would like to see code example of that (C#).  I have seen other discussions on this subject, but it is still not clear to me. I was held at the Polish borders when I attempted to enter by train. They took my fingerprints and sent me back with a written document. I respected the decision and returned immediately.   The document is in Polish concerning the decision taken, and I don't understand it. I am from Cameroon. My limited understanding from what was explained in English at the time was that the asylum status I requested was denied me. I only realised later that I asked the wrong authorities (border guards instead of immigration officers).  This was exactly one year and three months ago now. Do I still have access to any Schengen country? Vectors, structs and std::find Where are executables for programs stored in Ubuntu?  An application (Komodo Edit) is asking me to identify an application to be used as a web browser. I've become used to just entering the application name as a command for situations such as these, but this scenario got me thinking.   I know in Windows it would just be the relevant application folder in the 'program files' folder, but I'm assuming things are a bit different on Linux?  I thought somewhere like bin would be logical but this appears to standard Linux/Unix applications. Where would I find the binary executable for applications stored on my system? How do I add PHP code/file to HTML(.html) files? Add an alert when answering a question that has at least a close vote as duplicate I have one feature-request with the objective of having duplicate questions with no answers:   To (try to) avoid people answering duplicate questions, add an alert that says the question has a probable duplicate if it has a close vote as Exact duplicate, asking the answerer to go to the original and answer there.   What do you think? My objective is letting the duplicate question exist for search purposes, but the answers centralized in the root question. Remove a part of a list of names I have some files and each files have distinct name but all of them have the same "-statement" at the end like this:  flower-statement.mp3 leave-statement.mp3  ball-statement.mp3 goal-statement.mp3   So I want to remove this: -statement  Is that possible? I am playing with LINQ to learn about it, but I can't figure out how to use Distinct when I do not have a simple list (a simple list of integers is pretty easy to do, this is not the question). What I if want to use  on a list of an Object on one or more properties of the object?  Example: If an object is Person, with Property Id. How can I get all Person and use Distinct on them with the property Id of the object?  Person1: Id=1, Name="Test1" Person2: Id=1, Name="Test1" Person3: Id=2, Name="Test2"   How can I get just Person1 and Person3? Is that possible?  If it's not possible with LINQ, what would be the best way to have a list of Person depending on some of its properties in .NET 3.5? Method defined as testMethod do not support web service callouts, test skipped How can I find a mentor to critique my work? My Android device screen got broken and I can't see what I'm doing. That's the only wrong thing with my device, the rest is apparently working OK. Is there any way to send my device screen to my computer? I don't want to work blindly anymore! bi-directional sync with rsync I am trying to setup bi-direction or two way sync with rsync. In my case I only need to delete the files when syncing from B to A. So, I was thinking of running rsync twice as follow :  rsync -rtuv ./A/ ./B/ rsync -rtuv --delete ./B/ ./A/   This problem with this solution is that when I run rsync (B->A) which would be right after running the rsync (A-B), Any new file that get created in between the sync will also get removed.  Is there a way I can specify a time stamp as condition that it only delete the file if it created before this date/time.  Updated:  I understand there is a unison solution but the problem with unison is required to install on both ends. I am syncing with a remote server and I can not install unison on the remote end. Can't we compute $\lim_{n \to \infty}\frac{1+ \cdots +n}{n^2}=\lim_{n\to\infty}\frac{1}{n^2}+\cdots +\lim_{n\to\infty}\frac{n}{n^2}=0$? I just learned the definition of limits, and I learned that if $\{a_n\}, \{b_n\} $ converges, then $$\lim_{n\to \infty} (a_n+b_n)=\lim_{n \to \infty} a_n+\lim_{n \to \infty}b_n$$ holds.  And my teacher said that $\lim_{n \to \infty}\frac{1+2+3+ \cdots +n}{n^2}=\lim_{n\to \infty}\frac{\frac{n(n+1)}{2}}{n^2}=\frac{1}{2}$.  But can't we compute like  $$\lim_{n \to \infty}\frac{1+2+3+ \cdots +n}{n^2}=\lim_{n\to\infty}\frac{1}{n^2}+\lim_{n\to\infty}\frac{2}{n^2}+\lim_{n\to\infty}\frac{3}{n^2}+\cdots +\lim_{n\to\infty}\frac{n}{n^2}=0+0+\cdots+0=0$$? Why does du and quota results not match?
