Why my list cannot directly store objects? (my list just creates and stores a tuple and tuple stores the objects)
What does ** (double star/asterisk) and * (star/asterisk) do for parameters?
Proof by induction that $2 + 4 + 6 + \cdots + 2n = n(n+1)$ What are the use cases for different scoping constructs? Prove p-adic valuation is completely additive for prime p Scaling in object and edit mode My question is: why do Object mode scaling and Edit mode scaling seem to be incompatible? I'm quite new to blender, so I may not know sth important about these modes. The actual case is:  I create a cube, which is 2×2×2 metres in metric units by default  (it's also shown under 'dimensions')    Then, with the cube selected, I switch to Edit mode, and enable 'Edge info: Length' under 'Mesh display'    And it shows the cube's measurements, which are 2m on each edge.  Now I use the scale tool in Edit mode, making the edges 2.244m    That's good so far. Changing back to Object mode, the changes can be seen under 'dimension'    However, when I use the scale tool in Object mode, the scale and dimensions also change, but changing back to Edit mode, the measurements shown remain the same      So the question is, why does the scale tool work differently and have different effects in Ojbect mode and Edit mode? Also, how can I enter the desired size of my cube manually to get an accurate result, without using the scale tool in Edit mode, and without changing the scale ratio in object mode? The residue at $\infty$ I want to propose for a Persian version of Super User (I will explain why later) so I want to create a proposal in Area 51, but this means non-English question and answers, Is this OK? P.S: This may be a question for other non-English proposals too. Update: The main question is: How can non-English site proposals pass the Commitment phase? How can the English community support non-English proposals? You can find some information in  about the Stack Exchange 2.0 Site Creation Process (specially Commitment phase):  How does this thermometer work? Intuitively, if Jon Skeet says that he’ll participate in the Sock Puppet Stack Exchange, that commitment is a better sign that the site will succeed than if we get a commitment from a random Internet user who has never participated in Stack Overflow. Sure, they’re both wonderful people, I’m sure, but Jon Skeet has proven that he likes to participate in Stack Overflow so it’s a good bet that he’ll participate in SockExchange, too. .... we’re going to require a selection of existing users with certain badges and reputation that proves that they’ll participate. For instance (and I’m making these numbers up), we might require that a site get at least 100 commitments from people with the Teacher badge, at least 20 from people with the Enthusiast badge, and at least 50 from people with a reputation of 1000 or more on some of our sites. How do I activate Dauntless Cathar's ability? has the following ability:     {1}{W}, Exile Dauntless Cathar from your graveyard: Put a 1/1 white Spirit creature token with flying onto the battlefield. Activate this ability only any time you could cast a sorcery.   Please clarify. If the card is IN my hand, how can I exile if FROM the graveyard if it is not there? Did the writers mean SEND it to graveyard, or actually exile it? Confused, the writing does not make sense. Spacetime Torsion, the Spin tensor, and intrinsic spin in Einstein-Cartan theory In  gravity, the action is the usual  but now the Torsion tensor is allowed to vary as well (in usual GR, it is just set to zero).  Variation with respect to the metric gives:  $$R_{ab}-\frac{1}{2}R g_{ab}=\kappa P_{ab} \quad (1)$$  where $P_{ab}$ is the canonical stress energy tensor.  Variation with respect to the torsion tensor ${T^{ab}}_c$ gives:  $${T_{ab}}^c + {g_a}^c{T_{bd}}^d - {g_b}^c {T_{ad}}^d = \kappa {\sigma_{ab}}^c \quad (2)$$  where ${\sigma_{ab}}^c$ is the .  By contracting that equation, I can see that if the spin tensor is zero, the Torsion tensor is identically zero:  $${T_{ab}}^c + {g_a}^c{T_{bd}}^d - {g_b}^c {T_{ad}}^d = \kappa {\sigma_{ab}}^c = 0$$ $$ {g^b}_c({T_{ab}}^c + {g_a}^c{T_{bd}}^d - {g_b}^c {T_{ad}}^d) = 0$$ $$ {T_{ab}}^b + {g_a}^b{T_{bd}}^d - {g_b}^b {T_{ad}}^d = 0$$ $$ {T_{ab}}^b + {T_{ad}}^d - 4 {T_{ad}}^d = 0$$ $$ {T_{ad}}^d = 0$$ $${T_{ab}}^c + {g_a}^c{T_{bd}}^d - {g_b}^c {T_{ad}}^d = 0 \quad \Rightarrow \quad {T_{ab}}^c =0$$  My understanding is that:  The spin tensor and the stress energy tensor, are defined entirely in terms of whatever matter Lagrangian we add to the theory.  Therefore, from above, the equations in vacuum are exactly the same as normal GR (so solving for outside matter, only the boundary conditions with the matter could be different).  Assuming my understanding up to here is correct, my line of questioning is:   How is the Spin tensor (and hence Torsion) related to the concept of material with intrinsic spin? Hopefully answered by 1, but if the matter has zero intrinsic spin, yet we have an extended "spinning" body, is the spin tensor still zero (as I'd consider that orbital angular momentum then)? Does this mean Einstein-Cartan predictions are identical to normal Einstein GR if (and only if) the instrinsic spin of any particles and fields in the theory are zero? What class of Devil Fruit does the Gomu Gomu no Mi come under? Considering the three types of Devil Fruits that has been explained are 1. Paramecia Type - where the user can get super human abilities and change their body parts into weapons, etc. 2. Zoan type - where the use can turn into a particular animal and inherit its abilities 3. Logia Type - where the user's body inherits a particular element and the body becomes like air which cannot be touched or damaged by non Haki users.  So what exactly is the type of Gomu Gomu no Mi? It cannot be Zoan or Logia. It's very close to a Paramecia but still doesn't have a logical explanation to be of Paramecia type! So is it some special type of Devil Fruit? How would one go about proving that the rationals are not the countable intersection of open sets? Found the alternative form: $\sum _{k=1}^\infty ((1-\frac{1}{k})^{k})^k$.

Finding the distribution of the sum of three independent uniform random variables Get selected text from a drop-down list (select box) using jQuery How to write an academic paper for the first time? While writing , I realized I don't really have a good list of resources that could be useful to first-time authors, like MSc or PhD students who write their first paper. I often direct my own students to these two papers:   G. M. Whitesides, , Adv. Mater. 2004, 16, 1375–1377 (). P. E. Bourne, , PLOS Computational Biology 2005, 1, 0341.   I also make sure that they read the journal's editorial policy and authors guidelines.  What are other sources of good information for students and first-time academic authors? Showing $\frac{x}{1+x}0$ using the mean value theorem I have a MacBook Pro Retina (2015). After updating to OS Mojave, Bluetooth has stopped working. I get an error message that "No Bluetooth Hardware Found".  I have already tried to do the following:   Go to the /Library/Preferences and delete the com.apple.Bluetooth.plist file Successfully resetting SMC.

Find files that a user can write, efficiently with minimal process creation I am root. I would like to know whether a non-root user has write access to some files - thousands of them. How to do it efficiently while avoiding process creation? Is the word tenfold a misnomer? There is (there's) vs.There are What are the roots of the creeping usage of "there's" for both singular and plural predicates? (This seems to be more common in spoken English.) I have 2 theories.  Perhaps it is because spoken communication our society is becoming less formal by the day. Or perhaps it is a reflection of speakers of other languages having increasing contact with native English speakers.  I am aware of German  "es gibt" and Spanish  "hay" constructions. Please comment.  3/06/14 I ran a couple of Google Ngrams and was surprised to find a greater rise in the use of "there's" in English fiction than in general English language books, since the turn of the century.  This would seem to support my contention that informality is behind the shift. My company has recently exceeded our data storage cap (at 102% right now.. :/ ).  A large portion of the data that pushed us over our limit was due to an import of records.  The weird thing about this is that the records only had a couple of fields populated each out of the 200 total fields on the object.  What this tells me is that SalesForce holds the space for each field (since it knows the max-length of each field) rather than populating space only when the field is not null.  Does anyone know if this is the case?  To reiterate, and perhaps present this question more clearly:  If a field has a max character count of 1,000 and only 250 of those characters are actually being used, does SalesForce count the total data storage consumed by that field as 250 or 1,000?
