35km commute possible? Currently, on every other day I commute to work which is a distance of 18km each way. I enjoy this ride but next year I may be moving to a place which will be about 35km from work. Questions:  1) Would it still be reasonable to commute this kind of distance each way once I have moved?  2) Google maps estimates that this distance would take 2 hours to complete. Would it be possible (depending on the bike and fitness) to do this distance in about an hour? How can I use JavaScript on the client side to detect if the page was encrypted? Is it possible to detect, on the client side, whether the user is using an encrypted page or not?  Put another way -- I want to know if the URL of the current page starts with http or https. Want to delay startup of program but can't find it in Task Scheduler I'm trying to delay the startup of a specific program that loads at login. As per an answer in , I should be able to do it using Task Scheduler. The problem is, I can't find the program listed anywhere. Is there a particular pane I should be looking in? The program is Razer Synapse so I don't think it would be in the Microsoft or Western Digital folders.    If it's not in Task Scheduler, is there another way I can delay it at startup?  Out of curiosity how many ways are there for a program to be run at Startup in Windows? When should I use "a" versus "an" in front of a word beginning with the letter h? A basic grammar rule is to use an instead of a before a vowel sound. Given that historic is not pronounced with a silent h, I use “a historic”. Is this correct? What about heroic? Should be “It was a heroic act” or “It was an heroic act”?  I remember reading somewhere that the h is sometimes silent, in which case it’s an, and when the h is pronounced, it’s a. But then I also remember reading that it depends on which syllable is stressed. And I also think I read somewhere that it might differ between British and American English.  Personally, I pronounce the h, and believe that a is correct. I find that it sounds incorrect to use an and pronounce heroic without the h.  So how do I know when to use a and when to use an with a word beginning with the letter h? Are both acceptable or is there one that is correct? Dictionary for TeXstudio: “No dictionary Available” I have trouble spell checking my document in TeXstudio. When I press spellcheck, I get the error No dictionary Available. Am I supposed to install a dictionary separately? How? Any suggestion? Let $G$ be a matrix Lie group and let $H$ be a Lie subgroup of $G$. My understanding is that all $g \in G$ are matrices, since $G$ is a subgroup of the general linear group. Then aren’t all elements $h \in H$ matrices, since $h \in G$?  From what I can gather $H$ is a matrix Lie group if $H$ is a closed subset of $G$. But if $H$ is not a closed subset of $G$, why is it not a matrix Lie group? Is the reasoning in the first paragraph wrong? Let $h$ the irreducible polynomial over $\Bbb F_2 = \{0, 1\}$  $$h  =  x^4 +x +1$$  Let $E=\Bbb F_2(\alpha)$, i.e. the field $\Bbb F_2$ extended with $\alpha$, where $\alpha$ is a root of $h$.   How do we determine the numbers of elements in the extension $E$? Can every non-zero element in the extension be expressed in the form $(\alpha)^n$ for some $n\in\Bbb N$ ? How do we find all the roots of $h$ over the extension $E$? Is there a single word that describes both Witches and Wizards? In the Harry Potter world, there's the term "muggle" for people with no magical abilities, "muggle-born" for those with magical abilities who's parents are muggles and "squib" for those with no magical abilities who's parents are magical.  But is there any collective term for all magical people (as opposed to wizards for males and witches for females)?  I don't recall seeing any word that refers to all men and women and children with magical abilities, and it's the only group left without noun or collective noun to describe them. Orange squares appearing on render? I'm trying to render a scene in Blender, and as of yesterday (it was not doing this when I was working on it 2-3 days ago), I am seeing orange squares dancing around the rendered image. Google tells me that these are render tiles (I think), but what are they, why are they there, and how do I get rid of them? Ubuntu Detects 2 monitors when I only have one Maven project with native dependency and copying files Intuition of the meaning of homology groups Let $R$ be a commutative ring with identity and $I$ and $J$ be ideals in $R$.     Show that $R/I\otimes_R R/J\cong R/(I+J)$ as $R$-modules.   This is what I tried.  Define a map $f:R/I\times R/J\to R/(I+J)$ as $f(\bar r, \bar s)=rs+(I+J)$. This is a well-defined bilinear map.  By the universal property of tensor products, we get an $R$-linear map $F:R/I\otimes_R R/J\to R/(I+J)$ which sends $\bar r\otimes \bar s$ to $rs+(I+J)$.  This map is surjective.  So all we need to show is that the kernel of $F$ is $0$.  But I am unable to do this. Determine the number of ways to colour a 1 by n grid using the colours red and white if an even number of squares are to be coloured red. In either case, one coin flip resulted in a head and the other resulted in a tail. Why is {H,T} a different outcome than {T,H}? Is this simply how we've defined an "outcome" in probability?   My main problem with {H,T} being a different outcome than {T,H} is that we apply binomial coefficients (i.e. we count subsets of sets) in some common probability problems. But if we take {H,T} and {T,H} to be different outcomes, then our "sets" are ordered, but sets are by definition unordered...   I feel as though the fact that I'm confused about something so basic means that I am missing something fundamental. Any help or insight whatsoever is greatly appreciated! Sometimes chicken breast can be thick and I never know how to tell when it's cooked! How can I be certain it is cooked all the way through?
