Matrix $A^T A$ as sum of outer products Getting / setting file owner in C# I downvoted  and now really can't say why, so I wanted to remove my downvote. However, I get the message:  You last voted on this question yesterday Your vote is now locked in unless this question is edited  Why is this? I don't think I voted on it multiple times, and even when I did, I can change my mind, can't I? How do I tell Finder to always show my Library folder on Mavericks? I thought there was a checkbox to suppress the hiding of my user Library folder on Mavericks, but I can't seem to find it. I appreciate hiding Library by default, but  have missed it being easily accessible.  How can I get the library folder to be visible in Finder, the Finder go menus / file save dialogs without needing to hold down shift? Should the results of a calculation happen automatically, or require a button push? This is a problem I've ran into several times, and I imagine that others have ran across it too.    Basically, I have a complicated equation, and I want the user to type in the values needed to calculate the results.  (For what it's worth, there are good default values for the variables in the equation.)  I've constructed a GUI that shows the user the names of the variables/fields that need to be provided, along with a control (like a numeric up/down, slider, etc.) to enter the values of the field.  Below that, I have an area that shows the output of the equation.  So my question is this.  Should my results area automatically change the calculated results whenever the user makes any changes to any of the input fields, or should they push a "Calculate" button to generate the results?  One other thing that probably applies is that the user is not trying to "get the right answer" out of the results.  They shouldn't be using the output to then go back and modify the input to get a better answer.  Are there any benefits to requiring the button press?  Is the extra click to see the results worth those benefits? Wifi not working (Intel) on HP Spectre x360 13 Static posts page with home.php Tools to get a pictorial function call graph of code I'm looking for a specific scifi book that I read years ago, I only partially remember the story, and I don't remember the author or the title.  What I remember of the story is:   An alien race picks up a signal from humans that includes instructions on how to make their own humans (genetic instructions). The humans grow up knowing they are created and are taught by the alien race. They are eventually given resources to build a ship, and go looking for their origins. They eventually find the solar system, but nobody answers. They find some stations orbiting earth and find that the station is very old, so old in fact that humans have long been extinct and other creatures have reached local space, and have been looking around the station as an archeological dig. I think they refer to two developed races from earth, but one developed from rats.   If anyone know what story this is, and can point me at it, its been driving me crazy for at least 15 years, and I think it's actually been much longer, since I can't remember when I read it.

I just try to visualize some points using GeoServer to publish them as WMS and bind this WMS to my Openlayers website using the GeoServer internal Heatmap process to visualize it. I don't want to use the Openlayers Heatmap function.   But there seem to be some problems, look here:    I'm using this Openlayers implementation to bind my WMS URL:    Changing the params to:  params: {'LAYERS': 'test:points','TILED': true,'STYLES': 'heatmap'},   And using this as SLD to define the Heatmap:    Any ideas why this happens?
