Auto-correction for obvious mistakes in titles
Implementing auto correct/complete on Stack Overflow
It would be nice if backticked code in question titles were rendered the same way they are in question bodies. Since there are so many questions with code in them I feel it would be a big plus. .  This would look a lot nicer in listings and on the page itself if the code strings were rendered as such.  Similar ideas discussed . Using strtok with a std::string I have a string that I would like to tokenize. But the C strtok() function requires my string to be a char*. How can I do this simply?  I tried:  token = strtok(str.c_str(), " ");    which fails because it turns it into a const char*, not a char* I read in a book &quot;Physics - Resnik and Halliday&quot; the explanation of Type-I Superconductors {cold ones} that:  The Electrons that make up current at super-cool temperatures move in coordinated pairs. One of the electrons in a pair may electrically distort the molecular structure of the superconducting material as it moves through, creating  nearby short-lived regions of positive charge.the other electron in the the pair may be attracted to the positive spot. According to the theory the coordination would prevent them from colliding with the molecules of the material and thus would eliminate electrical resistance  Is this the only explanation or can somebody give me a more intuitive explanation that also takes into the problem of defect scattering as in the case of resistance and also explains the Type-II superconductors {hot ones} P.S. What are &quot;coordinated pairs&quot;? newcommand vs. DeclareMathOperator As far as I understand, whatever can be done using DeclareMathOperator can also be achieved using newcommand, but not the other way around. If this is the case, what are the circumstances where DeclareMathOperator is the better choice? When should I take solely newcommand?  I found a question regarding , and I wonder what other aspects should be taken into consideration when it comes to choosing which method to use when defining math operators. Excessive water when cooking scallops This is partly a continuation of  question, since that one was already closed, but my question is about a specific problem encountered the last time I cooked scallops.  I got the pan up to a reasonable temperature and put the scallops in, and as they were cooking, TONS of water came out of the scallops and filled the pan.  I poured it out, continued cooking, and more water came out.  Several iterations later, I thought they were done, but they were still very raw inside, so we ended up tossing the batch (it definitely wasn't sushi grade).  Where did all the liquid come from, and is there any way to avoid that the next time? Possible Duplicate:          I was wondering if there's any good reason to still use blob fields in a database. A couple of years ago I worked with a DB with a bunch of images in it, the DB was very slow and I couldn't see any good reason to keep the images inside the DB, so I got the images out and stored the filenames instead.  Was this a smart move? What would you do in my place? Do lens hoods need to be matched to focal length? Is it true that not all generic lens hoods work on all lenses (provided the filter diameter matches, of course)? I read that the focal length plays a role in it - but I cannot find such readings on any lens hoods I see available online. How to get the day, year, hours, min Individually from date format "yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSSZ"? Assume that $X$ and $Y$ are two random variables such that $Y=E[X|Y]$ almost surely and $X= E[Y|X]$ almost surely. Prove that $X=Y$ almost surely.   The hint I was given is to evaluate: $$E[X-Y;X&gt;a,Y\leq a] + E[X-Y;X\leq a,Y\leq a]$$  which I can write as: $$\int_A(X-Y)dP +\int_B(X-Y)dP$$ where $A=\{X&gt;a, Y\leq a\}$ and $B=\{X\leq a,Y\leq a\}$.  But I need some more hints. Elected moderators can nominate themselves , and I can nominate myself again, despite having won the first round of election.    I understand this isn't going to be easy to fix, given that SE only knows about community mods, employees and developer roles, and pro-tempore mods need to be able to nominate themselves. Does anybody know where to download the QGIS toolbar icons? How to read a text file reversely with iterator in C# I need to process a large file, around 400K lines and 200 M. But sometimes I have to process from bottom up. How can I use iterator (yield return) here? Basically I don't like to load everything in memory. I know it is more efficient to use iterator in .NET. How do I disable "Workspace dock" (a bottom panel with the list of open windows and a workspace indicator-cum-switcher), the one that is over "Plank" in the screenshot below?    I'm using Ubuntu 17.10. (I am not asking how to block my posts on my timeline.)  I am asking how I can block my activity, such as posting in open groups, making comments on people's posts, adding a friend, liking a photo, liking a post, etc., from people seeing it in their news feeds?  I don't want people seeing my interactions with other people. What is the function of the RNA primer in DNA replication? During DNA replication, RNA primase puts an RNA primer in the lagging strand. What is the function of this RNA primer? Why can't the enzymes put DNA fragments directly? Why does my object not show up? For the following pretty straightforward task: query a list of products from a DB and present it on a webpage, consider 2 setups:  Setup1: PHP script queries. All content is built on the server and the entire page is served back to the client.  Setup2: Static HTML "page skeleton" requesting content using AJAX. Received content is parsed on the client side using Javascript and rendered using innerHTML or similar.  Of course the second setup only makes sense when you have pages, categories and tags for the client user to choose from.  I need to compare these two, at least by means of:   time it will take content to be served user experience (setup1 is delivered as a whole, setup2 is delivered in "two parts") scalability - how do the setups compare when I have 100,000 queries daily   Any thoughts on the issue will be much appreciated. Can there be multiple paths for which Fermat's least time principle can be obeyed? Can there be more than one path for which Fermat's least time principle is obeyed? Drupal out of the box comes with a page (which is the default homepage) that is assigned to the node path.  How do I avoid users reach it, and redirect them to the actual homepage of the site? Zoom lenses and cameras with superzooms are often sold with a times ("×") zoom number — like a 12x zoom or 30x zoom. The question  explains how this relates to focal length numbers, like 70-200mm or 18-55mm. But how does ×-zoom relate to magnification, when used for macro or just to make something far away look bigger?  How can two 70-200mm lenses have different magnification?
