What happened to site analytics about a week ago? @track vs @api (Lightning Web Components) 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. Crossthread operation not valid... - VB.NET Getting tabular statistics from table using QGIS? Are there QGIS tools that will allow users to get tabular statistics from their table?  I kind of expected I would be able to just open the table, select the field I was interested in, right-click on the field header and get something similar to this (screenshot taken from ArcGIS):    More specifically, I am looking for a QGIS alternative to the ArcGIS  and  tools, that offer a  you can retrieve about the tabular data.    Just after asking, I found  (see section 4.2 ) that describes how to find this functionality... Vector > Analysis Tools > Basic statistics.  I also found Vector > Analysis Tools > List Unique Values right next to it.  This gets me the list of unique values, but I would also like to see an additional column of frequency (count) of each unique item.  Is this similar tool available "out-of-the-box"?

You can't have a straight forward  in a tpl.php file can you? prevent user creating a duplicate node title how to prevent user creating a duplicate node title for a content type?  I already try uniqueness module () but it's only list out the duplicate content title but not return any error message when user save the new content. Any suggestion module or code? :) Many of the UK visa refusals we see here share a common pattern and the prevailing reasons refer to V 4.2 (a) and (c).    I do understand that, while the applicants may describe very different individual circumstances, there's a consistent pattern and, broadly, fall into specific categories:    Credibility (lifestyle, lack of ties, visit history, lies &amp; omissions) Funding (insufficient funds, provenance of funds, funds parking) Sponsorship (family, friends, employer)   Question: What most commonly triggers a UK visa refusal where V 4.2 (a) and (c) are given as the grounds?  Secondarily: Given that there is a clear pattern, to what extent are these refusals predictable? Does sponsorship make a difference? Is there a set of personal circumstances, however abstract, where a refusal is all but guaranteed? For example, why do those we see here on TSE who sought entry for the PLAB or British Army appear to be refused with a common theme? Is there a uniform shortcoming or is it just discrimination?   PLAB: What is about applications for a visa, for the purpose of sitting the Professional and Linguistic Assessments Board (PLAB) exam, that seem to invite refusals. After all, the test is given so that international medical graduates can show that they qualify to practise medicine in the UK. The first part, PLAB 1, can be taken in centres outside of the UK. However, PLAB 2 can be taken only in the UK. Why can't you can't get a visa just to sit the exam, promising that you'll leave immediately after?    British Army: Since Commonwealth citizens are eligible to apply online to join, even those who don't reside in the UK, why is it so difficult to get a visa just to attend an interview to see whether you are suitable? Even with an invitation from the Army, such visa applications seem to be unsuccessful. Isn't a career in the British Army a valid reason?     Lastly:  After such a refusal, what approaches would increase the chance of a successful application? Derivative of function with 2 variables "Never say die?" What's the deal with this idiom? I know what it means, but cannot wrap my head around its grammar structure. The sentence structure of     "Never say die"   looks like that of     "Never admit defeat"   but it does not make the same grammatical+semantical sense.  Is it an archaic use? Is it a contraction of a longer phrase? Was it originally misspoken by someone of note and survived memetically? What are its roots?  Edit: Well, the comments made me realize that I worded my question poorly. I'm not saying I think this phrase is ungrammatical. I'm asking how the heck "saying 'die'" came to mean what it means. Why is it necessary to sample from the posterior distribution if we already KNOW the posterior distribution? My understanding is that when using a Bayesian approach to estimate parameter values:   The posterior distribution is the combination of the prior distribution and the likelihood distribution. We simulate this by generating a sample from the posterior distribution (e.g., using a Metropolis-Hasting algorithm to generate values, and accept them if they are above a certain threshold of probability to belong to the posterior distribution). Once we have generated this sample, we use it to approximate the posterior distribution, and things like its mean.   But, I feel like I must be misunderstanding something. It sounds like we have a posterior distribution and then sample from it, and then use that sample as an approximation of the posterior distribution. But if we have the posterior distribution to begin with why do we need to sample from it to approximate it? Keyboard layout/language changes in every boot I am trying to think/know about something, but I don't know if my base premise is plausible. Here we go.  Sometimes when I'm talking with people about pure mathematics, they usually dismiss it because it has no practical utility, but I guess that according to the history of mathematics, the math that is useful today was once pure mathematics (I'm not so sure but I guess that when the calculus was invented, it hadn't a practical application).  Also, I guess that the development of pure mathematics is important because it allows us to think about non-intuitive objects before encountering some phenomena that is similar to these mathematical non-intuitive objects, with this in mind can you provide me historical examples of pure mathematics becoming "useful"? Installing Guest Additions causing problems I am trying to install Guest Additions in VirtualBox with Windows XP host and Ubuntu 12.04 guest. I followed the above steps:  Devices-&gt; Insert Guest Additions CD Image. After that I locate the folder /media/VBoxAdditions4.3.4_91027/ and run sudo ./VBoxLinuxAdditions.run   I want to be able to create shared folders and adjust the resolution of the screen. I achieved to do the first issue, but I couldn't do the second one. I didn't get any message, however it is not possible to change the resolution of the screen and I cannot switch to fullscreen. What am I doing wrong?  I found in the instal log the following message: unknown version of the X Window System. I've tried the solution of the proposed link but I got the following message:  Building dependency tree        Reading state information... Done Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming.

Bad return status for module build on kernel 3.13.0-32-generic(i686). The context is soccer (association football) and the sentence in question is:       The forward received the ball from the midfielder's pass.     I have already ask about this  and received alot of good answers, and I tried to leave it at that.  But then the World Cup 2014 is upon us, and I am starting to have doubts about this football usage of "from", to the point that I have semi-nightmares about it.  The use of "from" in the football example continues to bother me.  I seem to disagree (subconsciously) about how a ball (physical object) could be "from" a pass (action) unless that action creates that object.       Some people were hit by debris from the explosion.   The use of "from" in "debris from the explosion" makes excellent sense to me, because the explosion does create the debris.  But in soccer/football, the ball cannot possibly be "created" by a pass.    Is there any non-football usage of "from" similar to my football example sentence?

Is it possible for me to make Ctrl+C perform a copy command if there is highlighted text in the terminal? Otherwise, it should retain its normal behavior.  (If there is a terminal that can do this other than gnome-terminal, that's probably fine too.) Is irrational times rational always irrational? Is an irrational number times a rational number always irrational?  If the rational number is zero, then the result will be rational. So can we conclude that in general, we can't decide, and it depends on the rational number? Is it possible to create a counter just with wiring? With the new logic gates in the 1.3.1 update, is it possible to create some wiring circuit that counts how many times a trigger was activated? In other words, is it possible to make a circuit that outputs a trigger every two input triggers?  I've done some experimenting but the nature of wires and there being no intrinsic on/off state in Terraria makes it pretty counter-intuitive compared to real world logic circuits.
