What white point temperature should I set my LCD monitor to? I've got the Xrite Eye One Display 2, and tried the advanced calibration today for the first time.  It asked what white point I wanted, and had a default of 6500K.  I didn't realize that was up for discussion!  I would have assumed the daylight temperature, around 5500K, would be desired.  What temperature do I want my whites to be? Why can't white just be white?! In classical logic, why is $(p\Rightarrow q)$ True if $p$ is False and $q$ is True? Provided we have this truth table where "$p\implies q$" means "if $p$ then $q$":  $$\begin{array}{|c|c|c|} \hline p&amp;q&amp;p\implies q\\ \hline T&amp;T&amp;T\\ T&amp;F&amp;F\\ F&amp;T&amp;T\\ F&amp;F&amp;T\\\hline \end{array}$$  My understanding is that "$p\implies q$" means "when there is $p$, there is q". The second row in the truth table where $p$ is true and $q$ is false would then contradict "$p\implies q$" because there is no $q$ when $p$ is present.  Why then, does the third row of the truth table not contradict "$p\implies q$"? If $q$ is true when $p$ is false, then $p$ is not a condition of $q$.  I have not taken any logic class so please explain it in layman's terms.       Administrative note. You may experience being directed here even though your question was actually about line 4 of the truth table instead. In that case, see the companion question  And even if your original worry was about line 3, it might be useful to skim the other question anyway; many of the answers to either question attempt to explain both lines. Getting disk i/o statistics for single process in Linux I am sitting inside a closed room with a cement ceiling just above my head. The pressure of the atmosphere is exerted on the ceiling from above(outside). But solid cement not being a fluid does not transport that pressure into my room. But i still feel the atm pressure which has no way to be transported into the room.I do not boil to death or anything. How does this happen? $G/Z$ cannot be isomorphic to quaternion group Can't see a glass object through another glass object in Eevee Find $\lim_{x \to 0} (\frac{\tan(x)}{x})^{\frac{1}{x}}$ Find $$\lim_{x \to 0} (\frac{\tan(x)}{x})^{\frac{1}{x}}$$   My first idea to solve this was to try to evaluate it and then apply the L'Hospital's rule. This is what I managed to achieve: $$\left(\frac{\tan(x)}{x}\right)^\frac{1}{x}=e^{\frac{1}{x}\ln\left(\frac {\tan(x)}x \right)} $$ However, this is problematic, because the L'Hospital's rule is not applicable in the exponent, therefore my transformation was not a good shot. What transformation should I apply to get the desired form? "To work for" vs. "to work in" vs. "to work at" solution :-  $21= 3 \times 7$  there is only one Sylow $3$ and Sylow $7$ subgroup  so, Sylow $3$ and Sylow $7$ subgroup are normal in group $G$  so $G$ is cyclic group of order $21$.  Am I right ?  somebody told me that group of order $21$ is not cyclic.  he gave me this .  If group of order 21 is not cyclic, then can we understand it by Sylow method ? More than once I've accidentally run a number of commands and polluted my bash history. How do I close my terminal without saving my bash history? I'm using Fedora. Why can't enum's constructor access static fields? Why can't enum's constructor access static fields and methods? This is perfectly valid with a class, but is not allowed with an enum.  What I'm trying to do is store my enum instances in a static Map. Consider this example code which allows lookup by abbreivation:  public enum Day {     Sunday("Sun"), Monday("Mon"), Tuesday("Tue"), Wednesday("Wed"), Thursday("Thu"), Friday("Fri"), Saturday("Sat");      private final String abbreviation;      private static final Map&lt;String, Day&gt; ABBREV_MAP = new HashMap&lt;String, Day&gt;();      private Day(String abbreviation) {         this.abbreviation = abbreviation;         ABBREV_MAP.put(abbreviation, this);  // Not valid     }      public String getAbbreviation() {         return abbreviation;     }      public static Day getByAbbreviation(String abbreviation) {         return ABBREV_MAP.get(abbreviation);     } }   This will not work as enum doesn't allow static references in its constructor. It however works just find if implemented as a class:  public static final Day SUNDAY = new Day("Sunday", "Sun"); private Day(String name, String abbreviation) {     this.name = name;     this.abbreviation = abbreviation;     ABBREV_MAP.put(abbreviation, this);  // Valid } Check if partition is encrypted Add a time limit before you can vote on a post There needs to be a timer or something on upvoting/downvoting.

A linking verb is a verb which connects a subject to its predicate   without expressing an action. A linking verb is used to re-identify or   describe its subject.      Ex:      Alan is a beast.      Alan seems drunk.   But I would say that some linking verbs can be used with "continuous tenses" &amp; other linking verbs can not, but I am not sure.      (linking verb) to experience a particular feeling or emotion      Ex: I’m feeling a little better today.      Do you still feel hungry?   So, feel in this meaning can be used with continuous tenses  But I would think this sentence "Do you still feel hungry?" does not make much sense because it uses "simple present tense" which expresses something that happens regularly. Noone would feel hungry regularly.  So, that sentence "you feel hungry" would mean "you always feel hungry".      (linking verb) (not used in the progressive tenses): to have a   particular physical quality which you become aware of by touching         adj.         The water feels warm.      Its skin feels really smooth.    says "Speakers sometimes use the Simple Present to express the idea that an action is happening or is not happening now. This can only be done with Non-Continuous Verbs and certain Mixed Verbs."  so, "The water feels warm." could mean "The water is always warm" (simple present expressing things that happen regularly - more or less permanent action)  But "The water feels warm." could mean "The water is warm now" (simple present with non-continuous verb expressing things that is happening now - a temporary action)     : (linking verb) to seem; to appear         adj.         to look pale/happy/tired      That book looks interesting.   In dictionary,      (linking verb) (not used in the progressive tenses): to   give the impression of being or doing something         adj.         She didn't appear surprised at all.       (to somebody) (to be) something (not used in the progressive tenses): to give the impression of being or doing something (synonym:   appear)         adj.         You seem happy.   So, we cannot say "you are seeming happy" or "you are appearing happy".  But I am not sure I can say "You are looking good" (sounds right to my ears) or "That book is looking interesting." (doesn't sound right to my ears)  But we can say "The future’s looking good." ()  So, some verbs has the same meaning but one can be used with "continuous" &amp; the other can not, right?  Ex: "you are looking happy", but "you seem happy". How can I immediately detect when new files added to a folder within a  script? I would like the script to process files as soon as they are created in the folder. Are there any methods aside from scheduling a  job that checks for new files each minute or so? The symmetric cryptosystem one-time pad (OTP) seems to be very beautiful since it is perfectly secret according to Shannon. Many books, however, point out the main drawback: one must create a secret key the same length as the plaintext. For this reason, the concept of perfect secrecy has these days been abandoned, and we prefer other cryptosystems.   Now, for example, suppose I want to encode my text message with the ASCII scheme, and moreover suppose that this plaintext is 10 gigabytes long, therefore (using an OTP) the key must be the same length, 10 gigabytes. I think, however, this is a ''sustainable price'' because I'm sure that the ciphertext can't be attacked.  Practically, I don't understand why having such long keys with an OTP is a big disadvantage if we reach "the dream"-- namely, perfect secrecy. Nowadays the storage of information is very easy, so what is the real problem? I can, for example, share the "long key" in person. Determine all $f: \mathbb{R} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ such that, for all $x, y \in \mathbb{R}$, $$f((x + 1) f(y)) = y (f(x) + 1).$$    Source: Vuong Lam Huy, on a Facebook group. Prove that $2xy\mid x^2+y^2-x$ implies $x$ is a perfect square. Prove that $2xy\mid x^2+y^2-x$ implies $x$ is a perfect square. My work: $2xy\mid x^2+y^2-x \implies x^2+y^2-x=2xy\cdot k$ So,$x^2+y^2+2xy-x=(x+y)^2-x=2xy \cdot (k+1)$ And,$x^2+y^2-2xy-x=(x-y)^2-x=2xy \cdot (k-1)$ I found that for $x,y$ both odd, no solution exists. For $x$ even, and $y$ odd,no solution exists. Solution exists only for $x$ odd, $y$ even and $x$ even and $y$ even solution exists. Cannot do anything more. Please help! i just finished updating my Macbook pro to macOS Catalina and after the installation finished i got this error message that keeps reappearing. i do not know or have a file named "qnmqkmkrqwfq" (i tried searching for it) and when i press show in finder or ok it disappears for a second and then pops up again for no reason and i am not trying to open any files or apps. i searched and the only solution i found was setting "Allow applications downloaded from: Anywhere" but it did not work. Please Help. Does a creature with Lifelink provide lifegain equal to its power, or the defender's toughness?
