Calculate the area of an irregular cyclic convex polygon Wasted screen space due to multiple horizontal bars at the top when an application is open in GNOME desktop Debug a java application without starting the JVM with debug arguments Normally to attach a debuger to a running jvm you would need start the jvm with arguments such as the following:  &gt; java -Xdebug -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,address=1000,server=y,suspend=n   Now if I want to debug a process that wasn't started in debug mode, what can I do?  This situation arrises when a production system (i.e. started without debug args) exhibits a 'random' (I use the term loosely) bug. So I can't restart the jvm with the appropriate arguments, because nobody knows how to reproduce the bug again. Is it impossible to attach to the JVM in this situation?  Just to clarify it is not possible to use tools like jdb to attach to already running JVMs unless they were started in debug mode  from the JVM man page     Another way to use jdb is by attaching it to a Java VM that is   already running. A VM that is to be   debugged with jdb must be started with   the following options: I caught an Eevee, which of its evolutions will it evolve into? So I just caught an Eevee. Now, I need 25 candies to evolve it. The fact is that in the GameBoy color versions, that Pokémon needed a stone to evolve instead of experience. Depending of the stone he was fed with (thunder, water or fire), he was evolving in a different Pokémon.   Is the stone feature also in Pokémon Go? If not, what decide the evolution of this Pokémon?   Bonus point : If it's possible, how can I get a stone? Below is a visual proof (!) that $32.5 = 31.5$. How could that be?    (As noted in a comment and answer, this is known as .) Is there a hook that runs after a user logs in? I am writing a plugin that fetches some extended user info from a remote service and I need it to execute its function each time a user logs in.  Is there a hook that gets fired after login that I can add an action to? Did regular Americans speak the way actors in the 30s and 1940s did? I watch a lot of old movies, and I've noticed that American actors of the 1930s and 1940s often spoke in a quasi-generic-posh-British accent.  Katherine Hepburn's accent would be the perfect example. It seems exaggerated, and I imagine it was not common off the stage and screen. What was that? Was it just an accent or was it a dialect? Did real people actually speak that way? What does "mostly" modify? "My friends are mostly non-smokers."  Is "mostly" a focusing adverb that modifies "non-smokers"? Parenthesis works in bash shell itself, but not in bash script Windows 10 high memory usage (unknown reason) A few days ago I updated my PC to Windows 10. However, after some use my PC started to slow down until it was impossible to use – it was due to high memory usage. After a restart, everything came back to normal (total usage around 25% of 8GB of RAM). However, during a few hours of usage the memory builds up again to 70%, and if not restarted it further goes to 100%, and later on even freezes. Task manager does not help very much as it does not show all the processes (added screenshots below). Also tried RAMMap but it gives an error: "error refreshing database". I tried Googling this question, yet without much success.  I do not know much about PCs, but maybe some of you know this issue, or could help to find out what is using my RAM. Can I use Mage Hand to fly by Polymorphing myself and picking myself up with the hand? Could I first cast Mage Hand, then Polymorph into a Tiny creature less than 10 pounds then use the Mage Hand to pick myself up and fly at 30 Ft per turn?  Polymorph says:     The new form can be any beast ... The target's game statistics,   including mental ability scores, are replaced by the statistics of the   chosen beast. It retains its alignment and personality ... The   creature is limited in the actions it can perform by the nature of its   new form and it can't speak, cast spells, or take any other action   that requires hands or speech.   This keeps me from casting spells, which keeps me from just casting Mage Hand to fly as long as I want to over and over. But for that initial duration of the Mage Hand cantrip, could I use the Mage Hand to fly as a Tiny polymorphed creature until the spell runs out? How to set system-wide environment variables on OS X Mavericks I found the question  Regarding the number of answers votes and also according to my personal taste I like to capitalize titles. But what exactly are titles? Only the single main book title? What about other smaller semantic parts? Chapter headings, sub-chapter, ... People seem to believe that one's consciousness is a "different" consciousness than that of others, but the "same" consciousness as the one that has been in one's body in the past and the one that will be in one's body in the future. How likely is this to be true and why?   Also, I have almost no knowledge about neuroscience, so please refrain from using neuroscience jargon if feasible. So earlier today I came across , and I am having some trouble understanding the solution. The question is as follows:     You throw a fair six-sided die until you get 6. What is the expected   number of throws (including the throw giving 6) conditioned on the event   that all throws gave even numbers?   Quoted from Jimmy Jin in "Elchanan Mossel’s dice problem"  In the paper it goes on to state why a common wrong answer is $3$. Then afterwards explains that this problem has the same answer to,   "What is the expected number of times you can roll only $2$’s or $4$’s until you roll any other number?"  I don't understand why this is the case. If the original problem is asking for specifically a $6$, shouldn't that limit many of the possible sequences?  I also attempted to solve the problem using another method, but got an answer different from both $3$ and the correct answer of $1.5$.  I saw that possible sequences could have been something like:  $$\{6\}$$ $$\{2,6\}, \{4,6\}$$ $$\{2,2,6\}, \{2,4,6\}, \{4,2,6\}, \{4,4,6\}$$ $$\vdots$$  To which I set up the following summation and solved using :  $$\text{Expected Value} =\sum_{n=1}^\infty n\left( {\frac{1}{6}} \right)^n 2^{n-1} = 0.375$$ Obviously this is different and probably incorrect, but I can't figure out where the error in the thought process is.  Any help on understanding this would be greatly appreciated.  A blog post discussing the problem can be found I know that nobody likes duplicate questions, but I haven't found my answer on any of the other questions with this topic.  I built a computer with a  (made by Gigabyte).  It supposedly has 512 CUDA cores.  I followed  tutorial, (which enabled the Nvidia proprietary drivers) and was able to enable dual monitors and all the desktop graphics that are needed.  Unfortunetly, the GPU processing option still doesn't show up in Blender.  I've tried installing nvidia-cuda-toolkit, and that didn't make a difference.  I also tried to update my drivers from nvidia-346 to nvidia-349, and this had no apparent effect either.  What can I do to enable GPU rendering?  (I've tried both blender installed and just downloaded from the site). Add Area 51 Meta to the app Pollinator abundance---sampled two years, fixed or random effect? I'm trying to construct several GLMMs with my thesis data and I can't solve this question. I have data on pollinator abundance and fruit set from plant individuals (with different treatments - related to a pest infection -) sampled at six study sites (spatial replicas) and during two consecutive years (time replicas). The problem is that not all individuals (plants) were sampled in both years (because of lack of bloom). My question is: How should i use &quot;Year&quot;, as random effect or as fixed effect? I constructed three candidate models and compared the AIC: a) Response variable ~Predictor variables + (1 | year/plant) + (1 | site/plant) b) Response variable ~Predictor variables + (1 | year) + (1 | site/plant)  c) Response variable ~Predictor variables * year + (1 | site/plant) Option a) had the lowest AIC and the highest R2, but I read in some papers that is not correct use a variable with less than five levels as random effect ... so, anyone could help me?

I'm not interested in downloading some wallpaper changer application, nor am I interested in coding something up. There has to be an easy way to select a photo as a custom wallpaper in Ubuntu 18.04.
