OSX: Set App Icon Number
How do I draw a badge on my Dock icon using Cocoa?
On the  blog post, nearly all the images are broken. I assume this is because they are all hosted on stackoverflow.blog/wp-content/uploads/ rather than zgab33vy595fw5zq-zippykid.netdna-ssl.com/wp-content/uploads/, and they got destroyed in the removal of Blog Overflow. I looked around at a few other blog posts, and this post seems to be the only one having an issue. I am thinking of buying a camera to learn photography. Most of the time I'll be shooting portraits and landscapes. But I am not sure where I should start. Most of my friends tell me that I should get an entry level DSLR, but I am not sure if I have the persistence and enthusiasm to carry it all day in a backpack. But the camera on my cellphone doesn't seem to be enough to begin with.  So what I want is some expert advice (preferably with professional experience). Can most compact fixed-lens or mirrorless cameras fit the situations I mentioned? Or do I really need to go to a DSLR to get a tool to learn photography? What is the best way(s) to fake function overloading in Javascript?   I know it is not possible to overload functions in Javascript as in other languages.  If I needed a function with two uses foo(x) and foo(x,y,z) which is the best / preferred way:   Using different names in the first place Using optional arguments like y = y || 'default' Using number of arguments Checking types of arguments Or how? Integration of $e^{ax}\cos bx$ and $e^{ax}\sin bx$ I am curious about the proof of these two integrations. It would be great if you could point me in the right direction : $ \int{e^{ax}\cos({bx})dx}= \dfrac{e^{ax}}{a^{2}+b^{2}}[a\cos(bx)+b\sin(bx)] + C $ &amp; $ \int{e^{ax}\sin({bx})dx}= \dfrac{e^{ax}}{a^{2}+b^{2}}[a\sin(bx)-b\cos(bx)] + C $ Windows 7 sleeping during operations I've got Windows 7 set up on my media box.  It's set to sleep after 30 mins of inactivity, but it doesn't seem to work as advertised. In the last two weeks it's gone to sleep during a file copy operation and again while encoding an MP4 file.  Is there any way to get Windows to realise that it's actually busy? How can I find out which app is putting ads in my notification bar? Possible Duplicate:          Recently advertisements have started appearing as notifications in my phone's notification bar. The icon on the ad are either a green plus sign or a white star with a red circle inside it. There is no indication in the notification as to which app it came from.  I haven't installed any new applications, so I assume that some application updated to include this intrusive new ad system. Ads only show up at irregular intervals once every few hours, so removing all my apps one by one until the ads stop is not really a viable option, since I would have to wait several hours in between each uninstall to see if another ad appears. (I'm sure this is by design.)  So is there any way to figure out the source application of these notification ads?  My phone is a rooted/unlocked/whatever HTC Droid Incredible running MIUI. Boliviana de Aviacion (BOA) tariff codes I am trying to book one-way tickets on BOA on Jan 13 2015 from La Paz (LBP) to Buenos Aires (EZE) from their website.  Their website asks me to make a choice between 7(!) different tariff codes - they are SSEEOB, QEEOB, TMEEOB, VEEOB, HEEOB, BEEOB, YOW. The prices are different for every tariff, but other than that I cannot see any obvious difference and there is no explanation available. Also I am unable to find anything useful on their website  Could anyone from Bolivia or familiar with BOA explain what is going on there and what choice am I supposed to make? Why $\dim U+\dim U^\perp=\dim V$? How does the standard error work? I have been looking into the inner-workings of the standard error recently, and I found myself unable to understand how it works. My understanding of the standard error is that it is the standard deviation of the distribution of sample means. My questions are:  • how do we know the standard error is the standard deviation of the sample means when we usually take just a single sample?  • why doesnt the equation to calculate the standard error mirror the standard deviation equation for a single sample? Redirect parent window from an iframe action What JavaScript do I need to use to redirect a parent window from an iframe?  I want them to click a hyperlink which, using JavaScript or any other method, would redirect the parent window to a new URL. Auto-implemented getters and setters vs. public fields I see a lot of example code for C# classes that does this:  public class Point {     public int x { get; set; }     public int y { get; set; } }   Or, in older code, the same with an explicit private backing value and without the new auto-implemented properties:  public class Point {     private int _x;     private int _y;      public int x {         get { return _x; }         set { _x = value; }     }      public int y {         get { return _y; }         set { _y = value; }     } }   My question is why. Is there any functional difference between doing the above and just making these members public fields, like below?  public class Point {     public int x;     public int y; }   To be clear, I understand the value of getters and setters when you need to do some translation of the underlying data. But in cases where you're just passing the values through, it seems needlessly verbose. Tool for straightening a bent metal bar of the gate? Someone's car hit our metal bar gate, so one of the rods is bent as shown in the photo. What kind of a tool can I use to bend this back, so it's straight? Thank you! Can someone please let me know the minimum system requirements and GPU requirement to run blender 2.80 and eevee smoothly?   Also please let me know the optimum system requirements for the purpose of    environment modeling Game development charachter modelling and animation   Also if someone can suggest me a good desktop/laptop for personal use that is compatible with blender 2.80 in a low budget.  Any help will be much appreciated.  Thanks in advance! I recently made the switch to Ubuntu. Everything on my laptop works fine except my hybrid graphics card. It is Intel graphics combined with Nvidia GeForce GT650M. I tried Bumblebee, but primusrun doesn't work (segmentation fault, core dumped) and optirun works with glxspheres64, but steam games look worse with optirun than with Intel graphics (e.g. Surgeon Simulator 2013 runs fine with Intel and hangs a lot with optirun)   I tried Nvidia Prime, but it gives me a black screen on startup after install, so I can't do anything and have to power off my PC with the power button. I also tried nvidia-prime 0.5 on Ubuntu 14.04, and then I get 'low-graphics mode' and I can't get to Unity. Do paths in Adobe Photoshop have to be closed? I am working to convert a png to a vector graphic.  I am outlining the image using the pen tool.  Photoshop insists that the pen tool produce closed loops in order for me to use the "Stroke path..." tool.  Why is this? I use dd in its simplest form to clone a hard drive:  dd if=INPUT of=OUTPUT   However, I read in the manpage that dd knows a blocksize parameter. Is there an optimal value for the blocksize parameter that will speed up the cloning procedure? The  is minimal and clean on a fresh installation of Windows. Install a bunch of applications and soon the context menu is loaded with all kinds of opening options from various applications.  How do I remove items from the right click (context) menu?  I find that there are different types of right click menu items:   Global items that appear in all context menus. Items that appear only on folders. Items that appear only on files. Items that appear only on special folders (Ex: Right clicking a folder of MP3s shows up a context menu with items like Play with Windows Media Player.) Items that appear only on certain file types (Ex: Right clicking a MP3 file shows up a context menu with items from Windows Media Player/Foobar2000/VLC/your-favorite-media-player begging to open this file.)   I want to be able to delete all these kinds items from the right click (context) menu. If a $\{a_n\}$ diverges, so $a_n \rightarrow + \infty$, how to find sequence $\{b_n\}$ such that $\sum |b_n|<\infty$ but $\sum |a_n||b_n|$ diverges? If we are given any sequence of real numbers $\{a_n\}$ diverges, so $a_n \rightarrow + \infty$, how can we find a sequence $\{b_n\}$ such that $\sum |b_n|$ converges but $\sum |a_n||b_n|$ diverges?  I want to use this fact in another problem but don't immediately see how to prove it. Almost sure convergence of the Poisson process Let $N = \{N(t) \}_{t\geq 0 }$ be a Poisson process. I already know that $N(t)- \lambda t$ is a martingale where $\mathbb{E} [ N(t) ] = \lambda t$.   I want to prove that $$ \frac{N(t)}{t} \rightarrow \lambda, \quad t \rightarrow \infty \quad \text{ a.s.}. $$  To prove this I received a hint that I should use the martingale law of large numbers which states that:  Theorem: (Martingale LLN)  Let $S= (S_n = \sum_{k=1}^n X_k)_{n=1,2,\ldots}$ be a martingale with respect to the filtration $(\mathcal{F}_n)_{n=1,2,\ldots}$. Then $\sum_{k=1}^n X_k/k$ converges almost surely on the set $\left\{ \sum_{k=1}^\infty k^{-2} \mathbb{E}\left[ X_k^2 \mid \mathcal{F}_{k-1} \right] &lt; \infty \right\}$. Hence $S_n/n \rightarrow 0$ a.s. on the same set.  Now to use this theorem I think I need to use Doob-Meyer to decompose $N(t)$ as the sum of a martingale and an increasing process. Which would be the martingale $M(t) = N(t) - \lambda t$ and increasing process $A(t) = \lambda t$. But how is $M(t)$ the sum of a martingale? And I do not know how this exactly relates to the thing I have to prove. Thanks for any help. How can I limit the headphone max volume on OS X? So I hurt my ears from excessively loud music last week at work. I'm well aware of the volume down key of course, but I tend to crank it up too much throughout the day without noticing it.    I need a limiter and it needs to be system-wide, since I listen to various other sound sources aside from iTunes. This isn't really an issue on my phone, since I can set a volume limit in the iOS settings.  Is there an equivalent built-in or third-party fix for OS X Lion?
