Why doesn't the tilde (~) expand inside double quotes? Is there a way to force Google Chrome to remember passwords for sites that have autocomplete turned off? Clarification: I am a programmer, but ideally, I'd like a method that I could help regular users implement, too. How secure would github hosting be for private repositories? How to replace text between quotation marks with something from another file? I have the following kind of text: $OU = 'or'; $DINHEIRO_CAIXA = 'Cash balance'; $PAGINA = 'Page'; $DE = 'from'; $ENVIAR = 'Send'; $PRINCIPAL = 'Main';  I've already got all the text within the single quotation marks using cat arquivo | grep -oP &quot;'[^']+'&quot; | tr -d &quot;'&quot; This extracted text was then translated to Portuguese, but now I don't know how to replace the original text between single quotation marks with the translated text, I was looking for something like $OU = 'ou'; $DINHEIRO_CAIXA = 'Dinheiro em caixa'; $PAGINA = 'Pagina'; $DE = 'de'; $ENVIAR = 'enviar'; $PRINCIPAL = 'Principal';  I've tried using grep -F to replace the file itself, but it failed miserably because the pattern didn't match since I don't have the quotation marks on the new file, is there a way to do this? How to include time factor in a mixed model (investigating the interaction between two factors and time)? "wait on" or "wait for"? Officials are waiting on autopsy results for Oscar-winning actor Philip Seymour Hoffman. New York police suspect a drug overdose, possibly heroin.   I am curious about the preposition on in the sentence, because I usually say "wait for" instead of "wait on". Does it still have the same meaning if I change on to for? Just as follows:     Officials are waiting for autopsy results for Oscar-winning actor Philip Seymour Hoffman. New York police suspect a drug overdose, possibly heroin. Proof of the equality $\sum\limits_{k=1}^{\infty} \frac{k^2}{2^k} = 6$ Black screen after suspend-after moving to the nvidia official drivers (not priority) I have a bash script which must call another bash script which varies per-user in order to get some configuration information, like so:  somescript:  #!/bin/bash ${HOME}/.ssconfig echo "Hello, ${VARIABLE}!"   ~/.ssconfig  #!/bin/bash VARIABLE=world   Which, instead of giving me Hello, world! as expected, gives me Hello, ! How can I pass variables up from a script to the one that called it? What is the proper way to extend the Fibonacci numbers to negative numbers? I have a feeling this question is a duplicate, but it's not coming up in "Questions that may already have your answer."  We all know very well that $F(0) = 0$, $F(1) = 1$ and $F(n) = F(n - 2) + F(n - 1)$ for all $n &gt; 1$.  I'm wondering about $n &lt; 0$. My first thought was $F(-n) = -F(n)$, which is appealing from a multiplicative point of view, as it seems to preserve certain identities, like $F(n)^2 = F(n - 1) F(n + 1) - (-1)^n$.  But it doesn't quite make sense from an additive point of view, it doesn't seem to work both "forwards" and "backwards." For example, it would give us $F(-1) + F(0) = -1 \neq F(1)$.  How do we extend $F(n)$ to negative $n$ so as to maintain both the related identities and the basic defining identity? I was trying to experiment with docker, Ubuntu 14.04, 64-bit. I managed to run an image, and I gave it the path on one of my removable drives, /media/Drive1.  Now, whenever I reboot, I see there is a /media/Drive1 with only a docker directory inside it, and the actual drive which should be Drive1 ends up mounted on /media/Drive11, and this happens every reboot - even when I unmount these drives, and do a sudo rm -rfv /media/Drive1 before rebooting!  So something probably creates /media/Drive1 before it is fully mounted, and I guess that something is docker, because when I boot, I have:  $ ps axf | grep docker  2085 ?        Ssl    0:00 /usr/bin/docker -d   So, how can I disable the docker autostart, so it doesn't interfere with the mounting of external USB drives at boot? How map multiple inputText to an array property? What is a smart pointer and when should I use one? Let's say we have this code for a LWC:  &lt;!-- helloExpressions.html --&gt; &lt;template&gt;     &lt;div class="slds-m-around_medium"&gt;         &lt;lightning-input name='firstName' label="First Name" onchange={handleChange}&gt;&lt;/lightning-input&gt;         &lt;lightning-input name='lastName' label="Last Name" onchange={handleChange}&gt;&lt;/lightning-input&gt;         &lt;p class="slds-m-top_medium"&gt;Uppercased Full Name: {uppercasedFullName}&lt;/p&gt;     &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/template&gt;   and this is the JS file:  // helloExpressions.js import { LightningElement, track } from 'lwc';  export default class HelloExpressions extends LightningElement {     @track firstName = '';     @track lastName = '';      handleChange(event) {         const field = event.target.name;         if (field === 'firstName') {             this.firstName = event.target.value;         } else if (field === 'lastName') {             this.lastName = event.target.value;         }     }      get uppercasedFullName() {         return `${this.firstName} ${this.lastName}`.toUpperCase();     } }   firstName and lastName have been decorated with @track. Now as per the documentation, decorating a property with @track makes it private and reactive, while to mark a property public and reactive, use @api.  So if I just change the decorator to @api for both these variables, it should work. I am referring these from the same component only. But it's not working.  UPDATE: 27th Feb -------------------- Somehow it's working today. I just changed the decorator of the variables to api.  import { LightningElement, api } from 'lwc';  export default class HelloExpressions extends LightningElement {     @api firstName = '';     @api lastName = '';      handleChange(event) {         const field = event.target.name;         if (field === 'firstName') {             this.firstName = event.target.value;         } else if (field === 'lastName') {             this.lastName = event.target.value;         }     }      get uppercasedFullName() {         return `${this.firstName} ${this.lastName}`.toUpperCase();     } }   So it's working. pgfplots: lines and markers in different colors With pgfplots, I am creating a simple coordinate plot with error bars like this:    \documentclass[crop,10pt]{standalone} \usepackage[english]{babel} \usepackage{pgfplots}      \begin{document}%         \setlength{\linewidth}{246pt}%              \begin{tikzpicture}             \begin{axis}[             width=\linewidth,             ytick pos = left,             xtick pos = left,             clip=false,             axis on top,             tick align = outside,             yticklabel style={%             /pgf/number format/fixed,             /pgf/number format/precision=1,             /pgf/number format/fixed zerofill         },             ytick scale label code/.code={},             xlabel={X},             ylabel={Y},     ]             \addplot[mark=*]             plot[             error bars/.cd,             y dir=both,             y fixed=0.0001     ]             coordinates{(1,0.0005) (1.1,0.0013) (5,0.0015)};             \end{axis}             \end{tikzpicture}     \end{document}   In the original plot I have a lot more points. I would now like the line and the markers (including the error bars) to have different colors to better distinguish the line from the error bars. Is that somehow possible? The only way I found so far is to plot the data just as a line in one color and then plot it again just as markers in another color. This works, but I guess there must be some better solution to this. Thanks for the support, John How can I completely remove a objects (e.g. particle system or groups used in particle systems) in blender using python?  The problem is this: I have a script, with which I create a scene (e.g. adding some normal objects and some group of objects with a particle system). For a research study I would like to repeat that that several times, without restarting blender. So I can create a scene, delete everything, e.g. with a script like this:  import bpy scn = bpy.context.scene for obj in scn.objects:     obj.select = True bpy.ops.object.delete()   If I rerun the script to recreate the scene with objects using particle system, the latter is not shown in the scene anymore (only the placeholders of the particle system). Now I'm not sure where exactly the problem lies, but I guess not everything is immediately deleted, running the script above. Only the startup of blender helps (but that's not what I want) or pushing the purge button. The purge button seems to start the command:  bpy.ops.outliner.orphans_purge()   But I can't get this piece of code to run in the console. It says that "the context is incorrect". Is there a way to purge the unused data by python script? Thanks a lot for any help. Is there a problem with defrosting meat on the counter? I generally defrost meat on the kitchen counter. A friend of mine suggested that this was dangerous and suggested that I defrost meat in the refrigerator. I am no biologist but it seems to me that as long as the meat doesn't get warm defrosting it on the counter should be safe.  Generally, I remove the frozen items from the freezer and place them on a plate on the counter in the packaging they were frozen in. When they are mostly / completely thawed I place the meat in the refrigerator.  Am I wrong and should I be defrosting in the refrigerator? 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 do I force Python's print function to output to the screen? Subfields of finite fields
