What are the differences between sudo, su, visudo, chroot, and gksu? What are the differences between sudo, su, visudo, chroot, and gksu ? How can I prevent my mail from being classified as spam? When sending or forwarding emails using a personal or company domain using a  website or email client, how do I prevent the email from being incorrectly marked as spam? Pretty much the problem asks if a function is continuous at the point $c$ and $f(c) &gt; 0$ then there exists a $d &gt; 0$ such that $\forall x$, $f(x) &gt; 0$ with $|x-c| &lt; d$.   I can understand what the problem means. That if a function is positive at a point then there is another point that's really close that'll also be positive. I can not prove this in a formal way though. I've tried using the intermediate value theorem and I do not know hot to implement it. Any ideas? What will happen when Winter Bash is over? Tomorrow (January 2nd 2019) is the day that Winter Bash will be gone.  So I am thinking: Will there be some sort of a final ranking page anywhere?  It would be nice so I don't need to keep going to  every day to see my rank.  If there isn't going to be anything like that, what should I do to see my final rank on Winter Bash? When one should use spacing line \quad or \, I'm trying to install a dual boot (with Window 10) on my new XPS-15 (with a SSD 256Go).  Everything works well (following  until I go on step "Installation type".  Where I can't select "Something else", and I already have the partition table but completely empty. I can't see any existing partition, or add new one. I have two hard drives. One is used for Windows and one is empty. I want to install Ubuntu on the empty hard drive. The Windows hard drive is disk0 in Windows and the empty hard drive is disk1. When I install Ubuntu and it asks where I want to install it, I choose "Something Else" but I am stuck there. What do I choose for "boot loader installation"? How to execute a program or call a system command from Python How do you call an external command (as if I'd typed it at the Unix shell or Windows command prompt) from within a Python script? I used osm2pgsql to import data into my PostgreSQL database and it put gave me the following 4 tables, planet_osm_point, planet_osm_line, planet_osm_polygon and planet_osm_roads.   I have looked at the schema for osm2pgsql and inside the planet_osm_point table there is a column 'way' of type point. I tried to query it as an array like it says in the documentation here ():     It is possible to access the two component numbers of a point as   though the point were an array with indexes 0 and 1. For example, if   t.p is a point column then SELECT p[0] FROM t retrieves the X   coordinate and UPDATE t SET p[1] = ... changes the Y coordinate. In   the same way, a value of type box or lseg can be treated as an array   of two point values.   Anyone know the correct query the planet_osm tables from osm2pgsql based on long/lat? For example if I wanted to retrieve the information for Big Ben (London) I would query along the lines of:      SELECT * FROM planet_osm_point      WHERE ST_Y(ST_Transform(way, 4326)) = '-0.12'        AND ST_X(ST_Transform(way, 4326)) = '51.5';   There is no error message, it comes out with the table names, but no data is output either. (Its an empty table). What am I doing wrong here?  Perhaps it is too precise, i.e. there are no coordinates that match it exactly? Perhaps I need to try being more general, say 51 &lt; long &lt; 52 and -0.5 &lt; lat &lt; 0. Although this would throw back multiple results so would not be quite as accurate. How do I add polygons to fill a face? trying to recreate this Elijah bottle. I have two sides, one of which is outlined in red. How do I fill that face with polygons so I can then grab the center (that red square dot) to pull it outward thereby creating the slight outward bowing of the bottle? C++ Struct Pointer Segfault A ring without the Invariant Basis Number property Book where girl can grow nails and might be a thief I'll apologize for this being a vague description up front. I read a book about 8 years ago about a girl who could grow her nails into essentially razorblades or long enough that they could be used as razors. She travels to a city and either becomes an assassin or a thief (pretty sure it was a thief). I vaguely remember the book opening with her being chased by a mob. At some point during her thief training she realizes that the layout of the city is the key to some important plot device. I think she was given some scroll or cryptic image and then during her training she realizes that the layout of the city correlates to it.  Although I did read this 8 years ago I'm pretty sure the book was at least 5-10 years older than that, maybe even more because it was my mom who gave it to me and she said had read it when she was younger. The dust cover was missing when I read it so I have no description for the cover. I do remember that the author was male. It was a fantasy setting and there may have been vampires involved at some point but that part of my recollection of the book is even fuzzier than what I've already described. I've tried googling for this book but obviously my description is fairly vague. I will gladly answer any follow up questions that I can to try and help figure this out because it has been bothering me for years. if command in find -exec I was just trying to list all directories and files under current directory and also write if they are file or directory with the following command:  find -exec echo `echo {} : ;if [ -f {} ]; then echo file; else echo directory;fi` \;   I know it is a silly command, I can use other things like -type f or -type d, but I want to learn why that piece of code did not work as I expected. It just prints directory to all of them. For example while output of find is:  . ./dir ./dir/file   output of my code is :  . : directory ./dir : directory ./dir/file : directory   And output of   echo `echo dir/file : ;if [ -f dir/file ]; then echo file; else echo directory;fi`   is  dir/file : file   I am working on Ubuntu 14.10 and using find (GNU findutils) 4.4.2 Light Presets .exr I would like to install light presets for Blender to automate my lightning in my scenes. I have some .exr files (from Greyscalegorilla) but I don't know how to do it on Blender to make it work. Can someone help me? Thank you What's the English equivalent of the Japanese saying, “A fart ruins 100 days of sermons by the priest (bishop)”? I was amused by the expression "Paid a penny and only farted" (related by @FumbleFingers), which suggested a similar Japanese saying: 大山鳴動鼠一匹 - "Find only a small mouse coming out after hearing rumblings and experiencing shaking of the big mountain."  It’s humorous. I chuckled when I read it, and I wrote to the author that I love it.  With that said, the word "fart" reminds me of another Japanese proverb, 百日の説法屁一つ- "A fart ruins 100 days of sermons by the priest", which means that a small mistake (the sound of a fart in front of the congregation) brings all his efforts to naught.  It can’t happen in big Western churches. But it could well happen in a small wooden temple where a priest would preach to 30 – 50 provincial followers. Can you imagine how the proud priest being called 'the venerable' would be embarrased when his loud fart is heard by all his followers during his serious sermon and they start to giggle here and there in the hall?  We also have a similar saying" 九仞の功を一簣に欠く, which literally means "Collapse a 9- meter sand tower with the last pile of sand."  What is the English equivalent of the saying "A fart ruins 100 days of sermons by the priest (bishop): a small mistake depreciates the value of (vitiates) all labor and effort to naught," preferably in such a humorous way? Prove $(a^2+b^2)(c^2+d^2)\ge (ac+bd)^2$ for all $a,b,c,d\in\mathbb{R}$. Prove $(a^2+b^2)(c^2+d^2)\ge (ac+bd)^2$ for all $a,b,c,d\in\mathbb{R}$.  So $(a^2+b^2)(c^2+d^2) = a^2c^2+a^2d^2+b^2c^2+b^2d^2$  and $(ac+bd)^2 = a^2c^2+2acbd+b^2d^2$  So the problem is reduced to proving that $a^2d^2+b^2c^2\ge2acbd$ but I am not sure how to show that Optimizing logical sector size for physical sector size 4096 HDD With many new hard drive disks the physical sector size is 4096. Would it be possible to make the system use a logical sector size of the same size, rather than the default logical sector size of 512?  Will it speed up bulk reads and writes? Where can it be configured? How do the Azkaban escapees get their wands back? Sirius Black and a few Death Eaters escape Azkaban and seem to operate after that with their wands intact.  How come?  If a mere expulsion from Hogwarts entails wand destruction (as happened with Hagrid), shouldn't an Azkaban sentence entail the same?  And even if we imagine that the perceived impossibility of escape from Azkaban made it seem unnecessary to destroy the wand, this would apply to Sirius but not to Death Eaters.  PS: Two comments suggested that the escapees acquired new wands. It would be nice to have a more definitive answer than just a suggestion or a list of possibilities. Thanks.  PPS: Returning the personal property to a released prisoner is one thing, but the wand is a different matter: this is usually the tool of the crime, and I don't see how it can be argued that it should be returned and not destroyed. Again, Hagrid had his wand destroyed and he was not even sentenced to Azkaban.  PPPS: Maybe wand destruction is only done for non-fully-qualified wizards? Rendering an animation the way 3D view looks Is there some way to render exactly whats in the camera view in the 3D view? By that I mean just like a screenshot really, all paths, lamps, and cameras, just like things look in the camera view. The reason I can't just take a screenshot is that I need an animation and it would be too cumbersome to take 1000+ screenshots!
