How do I change my timezone to UTC/GMT? Currently when I execute the date command from bash I get the following displayed  Thu May 17 12:21:00 IST 2012  Below is my timezone config based on executing dpkg-reconfigure tzdata     Current default time zone: 'Europe/Dublin'   Local time is now: Thu May 17 12:32:52 IST 2012.   Universal Time is now: Thu May 17 11:32:52 UTC 2012.     Any idea how I change from IST to UTC/GMT? Indian passport holder. Do I need transit visa in Sydney? When I vote up questions or answers, I'm not only increase poster's reputation but also saving a link to the post in my profile — the "Votes" tab shows all posts I have voted on, so it's possible to view the posts again without searching.  But finding the needed answer is uncomfortable when the number of posts voted on is too large.  Please add an option to search in my voted posts.  Adding a new  would be easier. But I think that a filter in the "Votes" tab will be more comfortable (at least for me). Also this filter could be used in other tabs in the profile, e.g. the "Answers" and "Questions" tabs. Evaluating $\int \frac{1}{{x^4+1}} dx$ Related posts:    These posts are different from mine in that they merely ask for the &quot;votes&quot; tab back or ask if it is at all possible to get such information, while I propose how to implement this as a search feature. Background I recently found myself facing a problem very similar to one that I had solved before. I remembered that I found the solution on SO and I remembered upvoting the post containing the solution. I wasn't able to find that particular post by just searching with relevant keywords. It would have been nice if I could search only among the questions I have voted on. I searched on meta and found that there had been a tab for looking at what you've voted on, but that it was removed due to lack of interest. This is understandable, since just listing the hundreds/thousands of posts you've voted on isn't particularly useful. Proposal What I want is to be able to search for posts I've voted on similarly to the way I'm able to search on my posts within a specific tag. For instance: user:310121 [iphone] apple  This will return all my posts tagged iPhone, where I mention Apple. This is brilliant. This is just how I want search to work. Now what I want to do is to extend this to include votes. The exact syntax isn't relevant, but I had to make one up to show you what I mean: To show all posts you've voted on: user:310121 {votes}  To show all posts you've upvoted: user:310121 {upvotes}  To show all posts you've downvoted: user:310121 {downvotes}  You could probably omit the the user part, since you're only allowed to see your own votes. (Unless it's desirable to be able to look at other peoples votes. Maybe you should be allowed to do this if you have enough rep? Well, that's another discussion.) I guess that even if you're allowed to see other peoples votes it would make sense to display your own votes if the user part is omitted. So in my case I could have done the following search and found the post I was looking for: {upvotes} keyword  Lastly I just want to suggest that clicking on your vote count will work just like clicking on a tag. If I click on a tag in my profile the following search will be done: user:310121 [tag]  So if I click on my upvote count the following search should be made: user:310121 {upvotes}  The same goes for downvotes: user:310121 {downvotes}  This would be a very useful feature and it wouldn't be intrusive in any way. The users that don't care for this feature might never know that it's there. And just for the record the favorite system doesn't replace this feature. Empty vector menu in QGIS on PC with French as default language I installed QGIS 3.0.0 on a PC with French as default language. After changing the language of QGIS to English, the 'Vector' menu is empty and there is a French 'Vecteur' menu. Any ideas how to fix this? I cannot change the system language. What's the difference between the apt packages: 'cinnamon' and 'cinnamon-desktop-environment'? I have a fresh Ubuntu install and want to install Cinnamon as the desktop environment. When I do apt search cinnamon, I get multiple results, but two seems like they are the correct one.   The first is just   cinnamon/xenial 2.8.6-1ubuntu1 amd64 all     Innovative and comfortable desktop (Common data files)   while the other is   cinnamon-desktop-environment/xenial,xenial 2.8.0 all     Cinnamon desktop environment - full desktop with extra components   What's the difference between the two? What does the cinnamon-desktop-environment package contain that the cinnamon doesn't? Can two people with different one time pads securely exchange a message like this? Alice has a message, generates a one time pad, encrypts her message and sends it to Bob. Bob generates his own one time pad, encrypts the message again, and sends it back to Alice. Alice then decrypts this message using her one time pad, sends it back to Bob who then decrypts it the last time using his one time pad.  The only problems I see with this technique:   It is vulnerable to a man in the middle attack. It requires sending the message back and forth twice between sender and recipient. It doesn't scale well if you want to use it to communicate with multiple people. Requires a way of generating cryptographically secure random numbers.   Does this method of encryption have a name?  If we ignore the fact that it's vulnerable to a man in the middle attack, is this method of encryption information-theoretically secure?  Why isn't this method used widely, i.e. which of the above listed problems or other problems makes this method infeasible for production use? In C#, what is the best way to access a property of the derived class when the generic list contains just the base class.  public class ClassA : BaseClass {    public object PropertyA { get; set; } }  public class ClassB: BaseClass {     public object PropertyB { get; set; } }  public class BaseClass { }  public void Main {     List&lt;BaseClass&gt; MyList = new List&lt;BaseClass&gt;();     ClassA a = new ClassA();     ClassB b = new ClassB();      MyList.Add(a);     MyList.Add(b);      for(int i = 0; i &lt; MyList.Count; i++)     {         //I would like to access PropertyA abd PropertyB from the derived classes             } } Proof of Heron's Formula for the area of a triangle Let $a,b,c$ be the lengths of the sides of a triangle. The area is given by Heron's formula: $$A = \sqrt{p(p-a)(p-b)(p-c)},$$ where $p$ is half the perimeter, or $p=\frac{a+b+c}{2}$.  Could you please provide the proof of this formula? Thank you in advance. Broken screen while debug mode was disabled. How can I re-enable adb? The screen of my phone is physically broken, so it doesn't display anything, but the touch aspect does seem to be working, as I can unlock my phone, and get haptic feedback.  Before I go to get it replaced, I'd like to back up some personal data from the built-in memory to the SD card. I'm fairly certain that if I can get adb to recognize the device, then I can use  to see where I am touching the screen and do what I need to do. Problem is, when I plug it in, it's not recognized, while my emulator is.  I suspect that I might not have USB debugging enabled, which I think is necessary for adb to work. If this is the case, can someone give me screenshots of their Droid X (running 2.3.X) going from the home screen, through all the menus, to activating debug mode? Hopefully I can do it by dead reckoning and adb from there.  Edit: I haven't changed anything about the ROM or launcher; it's all stock. Names of some months don't make sense I'm not a native English speaker but I'm always trying to do my best. Unfortunately I have a real problem with dates for some odd reason, I couldn't learn when was my birthday until I was 12 years old.  Anyway, as I was learning names of the months on English, and since I know some Latin from high school I noticed that English months don't match up with their Latin numeral counterparts. For example:  September - 9. month October - 10. month November - 11. month December - 12. month  While on latin septem, octo, novem and decem are words for 7, 8, 9 and 10.  So, does anyone know why is that. At first I thought it had something to do with switch from Julian to Gregorian calendar but I figured it's too small of a difference.  Anyone? :) Why Inox Steel doesn't interact with magnets? My dad has a HUGE magnet on his workshop.  I love magnets, and when I saw it, I asked him what it was for.  His reply was: "I don't know why, but inox steel bolts don't get attracted to it, so I use it to identify them."  Thus I got curious, why a magnet don't attract  bolts? Steel, even if a inox variation is still mostly iron, no? This is a canonical question and answer developed by the community to help address common questions.

I have a collection of records, like a List&lt;sObject&gt; or the Trigger.new context variable. I need to query other records that are related to these records either directly or indirectly, and I want to use the related data to make further updates. When I write a query in a loop, like for (Account a : Trigger.new) {     Account parent = [SELECT Name FROM Account WHERE Id = :a.ParentId];     // ... }  I keep hitting Salesforce query limits, and I know this is not best practice.

Question is why?         &ndash; Wireframes created with block all but a few ips with firewalld On a linux  networked machine,  i would like to restrict the set of addresses on the "public" zone  (firewalld concept), that are allowed to reach it. So the end result would be no other machine can access  any port or protocol, except those explicitly allowed, sort of a mix of     --add-rich-rule='rule family="ipv4" source not  address="192.168.56.120" drop'    --add-rich-rule='rule family="ipv4" source not  address="192.168.56.105" drop'   The problem above is that  this is not a real list, it will block everything since if its one address its blocked by not being the same as the other, generating an accidental "drop all" effect,  how would i  "unblock" a specific non contiguous set? does source accept a list of addresses? i have not see anything in my look at the docs or google result so far.
