want to store date output in variable
How can I assign the output of a command to a shell variable?
Prove that if $d \mid n \in \mathbb{N}$, then $\varphi(d) \mid \varphi(n)$. I want to prove that if $d \mid n \in \mathbb{N}$, then $\varphi(d) \mid \varphi(n)$.  It's given that $d \mid n$, so we know that $n = dm$, for some $m \in \mathbb{Z}$. Now, I want to show that $\varphi(d) \mid \varphi(n)$, i.e. that $\varphi(n) = k\varphi(d)$, for some $k \in \mathbb{Z}$. Drawing a blank of where to go from here. A friend of mine, native EN speaker, told me that the following is correct written like this:      We met on the 1st of June.   Is that really true? I cannot see any reference that these are used in written text. Given I have Drupal 9 composer installation with composer-patches plugin and given a contrib module with a stable v8 release, but no v9 release (not even dev branch) and given that contrib module has a working v9 patch in the issue queue  is there any method to install that module + patch in composer? Even if I manually add both, the package and patch, to my composer.json, I still can't require or update this module with composer due conflicting versions. I really want to avoid duplicating /contrib code into my project's /custom codebase. My current workaround is:  forking that module to my own, private git repo applying patch there creating a new composer.json in my private git, and changing the package vendor to my custom_private_vendor adding my private git as VCS repo in the D9 project's composer.json and then composer require custom_private_vendor/contrib_module  This fulfills my goal of not duplicating the contrib module in my project's custom codebase, but every time I do this I feel the urge to wash my dirty hands. Is there something more elegant like composer require drupal/contrib_module --apply-patch-first or can I somehow target drupal.org's git with a specific patch included?

The specific point at which it fails to download changed - it seems to be a sourceforge reliability problem, but this has now been going on weeks and results in annoying popups as above all the time.  How do we get this fixed and/or how can I work around it for now. Getting from Denver Amtrak to Fort Collins The eastbound Amtrak arrives Denver 6:38 PM (18:38).  How can I get to Fort Collins from there?   The  runs  from Denver International Airport to Fort Collins, but the airport is 40 km from the Amtrak station, so that's a major detour, that would mean taking bus FX from Market Street Station 7:18 PM, arriving at the airport at 8:27 PM, then the super shuttle 9:05 PM, arriving Fort Collins CSU at 10:55 PM; almost 4 hours after departing from Denver. Greyhound Lines appears to have a bus departing 12:45 AM, arriving 02:00 AM — although probably as quick as it gets, this is not exactly a comfortable time. RTD Denver has transportation to Longmont and  from Longmont to Fort Collins, but  appears to depart 7:05 PM — so I won't make it there when arriving by Amtrak.  A taxi would cost an estimated .   Is there any other way to get to Fort Collins when arriving by the eastbound Amtrak, any way that I've missed?

Colors and legend in groupplots/barplot In order to compare three items I use the groupplot command. For each item I have n different criteria to compare.

I could easily get the Taylor series expansion for $n=1$, but then I don't really know how to proceed, because I can't always break down a power of a polynomial. And a power of a summation doesn't seem as a legit answer either.   Can anyone help? Thanks How to set systemwide "XP style DPI scaling" in Windows 8.1? I run my ThinkPad with a system DPI setting of 140%. In Windows 7 and 8, I enabled the "Use Windows XP style DPI scaling" checkbox in the Custom DPI Setting dialog. When this setting is off, non-DPI-aware applications get DPI virtualization via bitmap stretching, which results in large but fuzzy text. Turning on the checkbox disables this bitmap stretching, so non-DPI-aware apps get smaller text but without the fuzzy stretching. I find most apps to be more readable with the smaller crisper text, so I enable XP style scaling (i.e. disable DPI virtualization).  Windows 8.1 RTM has removed this option completely. After upgrading, all of my non-DPI-aware apps are running with ugly bitmap stretching. I'm able to fix this by going into the Properties for each app and setting the "Disable diplay scaling on high DPI settings" box in the Compatibility tab, but that is a bit of a pain.  Is there any way to restore the systemwide XP-style DPI scaling in Windows 8.1? I often need to view on the canvas the (selected or not) features from the current active vector layer.  In this situation, I only need to view something on the canvas, without doing anything on the canvas itself (so, the active window is always the Attribute Table).  This is what I usually do:   Open the Attribute Table for the current active layer; Select the first feature; Press Ctrl+P button (i.e. the "Pan map to the selected row" button); Minimize the Attribute Table; View something on the canvas for the current feature; Go to the first step until needed.   Is there a way (a method, a shortcut) for directly browsing every feature on the canvas without the needing of going backwards and forwards with the Attribute Table? I mean, something like a "next" button?  (I may use the workaround of splitting the windows of the Attribute Table and of the canvas within the monitor, or also docking the Atrribute Table, but I would like to work on the full QGIS window).    EDIT I saw that my question was casted as a duplicate of  question. The two questions are very similiar, but I think it should be left as open for two reasons:   the related duplicated question doesn't have an accepted answer; my question is slightly different because I'm looking for the possibility of displaying only the selected features (and the @Joseph's , that I marked as accepted, answers well to my request). seem to be well-regarded for their versatility and accuracy of metering.  What puzzles me about them is how can they account for the different light transmittance of different lenses? It's easy for an in-camera metering system that meters  so any peculiarity in transmittance is already applied to light when it reaches the metering sensor. But a standalone meter does not have the privilege of looking at the world through the lens it meters for. I tried looking it up in  and , but this issue was not touched upon at all.  This leaves several variants how it could be handled -   light meter uses  for aperture display/input, and photographer is expected to perform the adjustments to and from  (which are used by cameras); light meter assumes some median transmittance of lenses of its era, and automatically accounts for that; photographers simply ignore the matter - even a 75% transmitting lens will be off only by about half a stop, no big deal; each light meter used is expected to know that you have to dial in some exposure compensation to account for the light loss; ...   So how does it work in real world? Find the Resistance between Two Terminals Let's say R = 49 ohms, and we want to find Req between a and d, how do we do that? Do we have to find Req for the whole circuit? Is there any gold standard for modeling irregularly spaced time series? Let $A$ be an $n\times n$ complex nilpotent matrix. Then we know that because all eigenvalues of $A$ must be $0$, it follows that $\text{tr}(A^n)=0$ for all positive integers $n$.  What I would like to show is the converse, that is,      if $\text{tr}(A^n)=0$ for all positive integers $n$, then $A$ is nilpotent.   I tried to show that $0$ must be an eigenvalue of $A$, then try to show that all other eigenvalues must be equal to 0. However, I am stuck at the point where I need to show that $\det(A)=0$.  May I know of the approach to show that $A$ is nilpotent? I am in the process of updating my CV. Since I often get labeled as "the bioinformatician" I get to play with many different languages and technologies, and similarly what people expect from a bioinformatician varies from person to person. So I figured it would be a good idea to indicate how much I feel I know in respective fields/languages.  Inspired by , I came to wonder whether or not its acceptable to have self-assessed ratings of your technical skills, such as: proficiency programming languages, familiarity with relevant software etc.   My own feeling is that such ratings are useful to indicate what you feel most confident or comfortable with. It would also be useful to show any potential future employer the level of competence you have in different fields. If you think about it a bit, it is common to have some type of rating for the languages one speaks, so I think an analogue to programming language proficiency should not be that alienating.  On the other hand there is the risk of rendering your CV like, as a friend of mine put it, a role-playing game character sheet.   Is it common to have such ratings on skills? Are there any potential problems with it?   Edit: What I was thinking is a small listing something like: Essentially, I have a csv file that contain multiple columns, called cols.csv  1,a,100 2,b,200 3,c,300 4,e,400   and I have a new csv file that has one column, called col.csv  f g h i   I want to copy the items in col.csv and append them to the end of each line in cols.csv so that, cols.csv now contains those  1,a,100,f 2,b,200,g 3,c,300,h 4,e,400,i   is that possible at all? i tried join, paste, nothing worked How do I put a backdrop behind the model that I am creating so that I can compare the picture to the model while editing?
