rsync file size discrepancies
Copying data over with rsync causes size discrepancies
For example, on Debian or Ubuntu, which package has the /sbin/shutdown command in it? I want to read the source of that command (and possibly modify it to report notification on desktop) and I didn't know which package source to download.

I have looked around at many pages such as this one:   and surprisingly, I can't find where to draw a tilde in math mode (not under or above a character - just a single tilde character). If I just use ~, then nothing appears. I recall a short lived TV show that I think was broadcast on the British TV channel ITV in the late 90s or early 2000s and it was about time travel. It was set in Britain in relatively modern times. The scene that really sticks in my head is when the protagonist goes to use their time travelling machine they go in to a room where the machine is and they close all the windows. The windows have latches on them and by closing the window it creates a circuit. By closing all the latches the circuit is complete and the machine is able to be activated. I don't know if it's much to go on, but it's been really bugging me for ages. Wi-Fi speed on my laptop with RTL8723DE is a bit slow and its range is also very low, what to do? My Wi-Fi connection seems to be very weak and the range is very low. It drops by two bars if I just move to the next room and by two if just step outside.  The speed is also not fast as compared to what I get from the router on my desktop .  My laptop is a HP laptop with RTL8723de module. Can anyone help me in bumping up my Wi-Fi speed?

There's no way I can think of to factor this big polynomial into a form like $a\times p+b\times q+c\times r=s$ where $p,q,r,s\in\mathbb{Z}$.  Thanks!

I've come across several books that claim to give an introduction to the subject, but I wasn't sure which one(s) to pick.  Here are some of the books I came across:   Introduction to Topology - Bert Mendelson Basic Topology - M.A. Armstrong First Concepts of Topology - William G. Chinn Topology Without Tears - Sidney A. Morris Topology - James Munkres   They don't go over the exact same topics, some are more in-depth than others, some seem to target slightly different audiences etc. What would be right for me (not necessarily from that list)? To give some more background, I want to learn topology because I feel it will be somewhat helpful in the field of Computer Vision. How do I change the `enumerate` list format to use letters instead of the default Arabic numerals? I've seen documentation whereby an \alph command is put around the \begin{enumerate} somewhere, but I'm not entirely sure how that operates... I have always heard that it's a bad idea to install lots of software on a Windows machine, and new software should always be tested in a virtual machine so as to not permanently affect the operating system. But does the actual act of installing a piece of software really slow down the Windows OS? Or is it more due to the programs themselves running a bunch of background services?  To rephrase my question, if I were to continuously install software but then remove it later, would Windows still slow down? How to prove $\lim \limits_{n\to\infty}(n+1)\int_{0}^{1}x^nf(x)dx=f(1)$ I need help to prove this in real analysis. I think it uses IMVT, but not sure how to do it.     Let $f(x)$ be a real valued continuous function on $[0,1]$. Show that   $$ \lim \limits_{n\to\infty}(n+1)\int_{0}^{1}x^nf(x)dx=f(1) $$ Why did the Emperor remain motionless while Darth Vader threw him off the balcony? I'm wondering whether this was a movie sin but his body position seemed to stay the same? Also why didn't he stop using Force Lightning? He continued to use it even as he was falling down.   I'm also wondering whether Palpatine meant to electrocute Vader or was it just a coincidence (because he kept firing Force Lightning) .  It makes no sense as he just stood there allowing Vader to throw him. redraw GUI on didreceivelocalnotification when come from lock screen iphone Are there rules for falling in water vs. diving vs. just jumping in for various depths of water? Just realized that in DMing 5e I have unconsciously used a falling-in-water rule-of-thumb that I inherited from somewhere (maybe 2e or AD&amp;D or maybe even Pathfinder). The ruling I've been using is as follows:   No damage for 20 feet of falling. Half-damage next 20 feet. Normal damage beyond that.   Realizing there should be a Strength (Athletics) for "swimming" (in context, "diving") to take even less damage with a proper dive in sufficiently deep water, I started to look for specifics on that. Am I just missing it somewhere? (Also didn't find it searching this stack.)  Are there clear 5e rules for both jumping and diving in water of various depths? Attempting to create a tag wiki when a user has hit the suggested edit limit should alert the user that no more edits can be suggested at this time I ran into an issue on Gaming.SE where I attempted to create a tag wiki and wiki excerpt for a tag which did not have one already while I already have the maximum of five suggested edits in the queue.

I have some "NDV rev1.1 4248 back lights" from a television.   There is a print that sais "94V" on the strip, and on the wire supplying the strips it said "96V".   Every strip has 9x buttons which have 3 LED's in them. So i devided 94 by 9 and figured that every button should have 10.4V roughly, which makes sense, because a white LED is normally 3.5 volts.  I have a 12v Lithium battery which measured 11.1V so i tested one of the LED's with it and it lasted less than one second.   Are the LED's are rated for 10.4V roughly and not more?
