NullPointerException: Attempt to read from field 'int com.google.android.gms.location.LocationRequest.a' on a null object reference
What is a NullPointerException, and how do I fix it?
Bash while read loop breaking early I've been banging my head against for wall for a while with this one.  I want to SSH into a set of machines and check whether they are available (accepting connections and not being used). I have created a small script, tssh, which does just that:  #!/bin/bash  host=$1 timeout=${2:-1}  ssh -qo "ConnectTimeout $timeout" $host "[ \`who | cut -f1 | wc -l \` -eq 0 ] &amp;&amp; exit 0 || exit 1"   This script works correctly. Returning 255 if there was a connection problem, 1 if the machine is busy and 0 if everything is good. If anyone knows a better way to do this please let me know.  So next I try and call tssh on my set of machines using a while read loop, and this is where it all goes wrong. The loop exits as soon as tssh returns 0 and never completes the full set.   while read nu ; do tssh "MYBOXES$nu" ; done &lt; &lt;(ruby -e '(0..20).each { |i| puts i }')   At first I thought this was a subshell problem but apparently not. Any help, along with comments on style/content, would be much appreciated! I know I'm going to kick myself when I find out why... How to create wifi hotspot in Ubuntu 17.10 Showing that every field is an integral domain. about Linux's zip utility says this about the -u flag:     Replace (update) an existing entry in the zip archive only if it has been modified more recently than the version already in the zip archive. For example:          zip -u stuff *   will add any new files in the current directory, and update any files which        have been modified since the zip archive stuff.zip was last created/modified.   My question is, if a particular file has been removed since the last time it was zipped, whether -u will recognize that the file has been removed and thus remove it from the *.zip file?  Or, lacking timestamp information (since the file is now removed), it will leave the backed up file in *.zip, since there is no "newer" file? Prove no solution to $x^2\equiv3\bmod5$ Show that there is no solution to the congruence $x^2\equiv3\bmod5$.   I'm not sure if the fact that the only numbers divisible by $5$ are those ending in $0$ or $5$ will help&hellip; $\mathbb{F}_p[X]/(X^2+X+1)$ is a field iff $p \equiv 2 \bmod 3$ Let $p$ be a prime. Prove that $\mathbb{F}_p[X]/(X^2+X+1)$ is a field iff $p \equiv 2\bmod3$.    So:   If $p \equiv 2 $ mod $ 3$, I have to show that every element of $\mathbb{F}_p[X]/(X^2+X+1)$ has an inverse.  If $\mathbb{F}_p[X]/(X^2+X+1)$ is a field I have to show $p \equiv 2 $ mod $ 3$. How to show or hide Keyboard Viewer with a keyboard shortcut? I would like to display and hide the Keyboard Viewer using a shortcut.   Is there a way to display the Keyboard Viewer via a keyboard shortcut? Is there a way to automatically display the Keyboard Viewer once I switch to a specific language? This is my first time posting on Math exchange. I have been self-teaching myself Mathematics and recently started learning some Algebra. I was posed the following questions, in which I would like to answer before I proceed, but having some trouble finding proper solutions. So the format will be question, and my answer.      What name do we give an element $a \in \mathbb{Z}_n$ that has a multiplicative inverse?   A modular multiplicative inverse of an integer $a$ is an integer $x$ such that $ax \cong 1 (\mod m)$. This means that the remainder after dividing $ax$ by integer $m$ is equal to $1$.      Give an example, for some $n \in \mathbb{N}$, of an element of $\mathbb{Z}_n$, that does not have a multiplicative inverse?   This question is throwing me off because - does the $n$ we speak of matter for both $n \in \mathbb{N}$ and $\mathbb{Z}_n$ ot solely $n$? My guess here would be $0$ because we cannot have an inverse of $0$.      Prove that multiplicative inverse are unique; an element $a \in \mathbb{Z}_n$ cannot have two multiplicative inverses.    Suppose that an element $a\in\mathbb{Z}_n$ has an inverse $a'$. Next, suppose that $a^*$ is also an inverse of $a$. Then, $a'$ is a solution to $a \cdot_n x=1$, and similarly $a^*$ has a solution to $a \cdot_n x=1$.   Lemma: Suppose $a'$ is multiplicative inverse of $a$ in $\mathbb{Z}_n$, then for any $b \in \mathbb{Z}_n$ the equation $a \cdot_n x=b$ has a unique solution, such that $x = a' \cdot_n b$.   By Lemma, equation $a \cdot_n x = 1$ has a unique solution, namely $x=a'=a^*$. Therefore, an element $a\in \mathbb{Z}_n$ cannot have two multiplicative inverses.    Thank you for the help. I would love any constructive feedback for these. If you can help me elaborate on some ideas, that would be really helpful also.  Thank you very much! This is a Q&amp;A that I recently have figured out, so I have posted the answer below.  After installing Windows 10, every time I get a kernel update or I run the update-grub2 it always shows Windows 7 or Windows Recovery Environment instead of Windows 10.  How do I fix this permanently? Discrete and compact subset must be finite Is it possible to create image data and save to a file from a script I'm currently trying to extract textures from a binary file, and ideally I'd like to save each texture to a file or embed in the .blend file. However, before saving an image, I need to be able to create an image in memory from an array of pixel data.  The PIL library contains the kinds of functions I need to use, but it is not included with Blender. Is there anything similar to PIL in Blender? bpy.ops.image seems to be close to what I need, but lacks necessary pixel set/manipulation functions. How to clone a Legendary permanent? I want to clone  without falling prey to the legend rule and without using . Are there any cards that allow you to copy a card's text without copying its name? I was unable to find any but might have failed to search the right wording. If $m_1 , m_2, \cdots m_n$ are natural numbers where at least one of them is not a perfect square, then how do I prove that the sum $$\sqrt{m_1}+\sqrt{m_2}+ \cdots + \sqrt{m_n}$$ is irrational? I'm hoping to prove this using methods from pre-calculus level algebra. No association bonus for Area51?

"None" as plural indefinite pronoun How can I determine whether my processor is 32-bit or 64-bit? My processor is AMD Phenom 8450 triple-core. If my data is overdispersed when binomial but not when Poisson does that alone mean I should use Poisson GLM?

The response variable is no.days exercise per week and so my original thought was to analyse with binomial GLM as it is the proportion of days in a week someone exercises. However, when modelled with a Poisson GLM it is much less overdispersed. Is this a sign I am using the wrong distribution. I need your help with references. I have 1 main reference section, and I want to include a second list of references as an appendix. For the main reference I use:  \newpage  \bibliographystyle{plainnat}  \bibliography{library}   The problem is that I don't know how to include the second list using a different bib file, and then calling the function \nocite{*} to show every sources inside the file.   I have the appendix part workout. I need your help to design the function to call the second bibliography, and that does't interfere with the main reference:   \newpage  \appendix  \section{Other Sources} \label{app:ReferencesB}   In addition, I will prefer that the word References is not shown after Other Sources.  Thank you so much!! Armature keeps spinning around root bone in pose mode when I try to move anything I was following a tutorial on rigging (was pretty much done) and now my entire model keeps spinning around the main root bone if I try to move any bone at all. (first picture is where it originally was and still is while in Rest Position, second image is of how it changes when in Pose Position while in Pose Mode or Object mode, Edit Mode seems fine)    I tried clearing All Transforms or hitting the ALT+g, s, r while all were selected and that just caused it to spin in the same direction like everything else does as shown in this picture:   I was nearly finished with this video tutorial here,     and near the last part my issue began. 2:28:07 was the last time I was in edit mode and the pose was fine. Right after the little turrets he then went and parented 3 more bones and then he switches back to pose mode with no problem, I suspect somewhere in there is where the problem occurred on my end. I could have sworn I followed it correctly but maybe I went wrong somewhere I have no idea.   I couldn't find another issue like mine exactly so sorry if this question has been asked before, I'm still very new.  Edit: I checked in the video comments to see if it had happened to anyone else but I did not see any mention of it unfortunately.  Edit2: Picture for more detail on the yellow lines. I'm using this code to get standard output from an external program:  &gt;&gt;&gt; from subprocess import * &gt;&gt;&gt; command_stdout = Popen(['ls', '-l'], stdout=PIPE).communicate()[0]   The communicate() method returns an array of bytes:  &gt;&gt;&gt; command_stdout b'total 0\n-rw-rw-r-- 1 thomas thomas 0 Mar  3 07:03 file1\n-rw-rw-r-- 1 thomas thomas 0 Mar  3 07:03 file2\n'   However, I'd like to work with the output as a normal Python string. So that I could print it like this:  &gt;&gt;&gt; print(command_stdout) -rw-rw-r-- 1 thomas thomas 0 Mar  3 07:03 file1 -rw-rw-r-- 1 thomas thomas 0 Mar  3 07:03 file2   I thought that's what the  method is for, but when I tried it, I got the same byte array again:  &gt;&gt;&gt; binascii.b2a_qp(command_stdout) b'total 0\n-rw-rw-r-- 1 thomas thomas 0 Mar  3 07:03 file1\n-rw-rw-r-- 1 thomas thomas 0 Mar  3 07:03 file2\n'   How do I convert the bytes value back to string? I mean, using the "batteries" instead of doing it manually. And I'd like it to be OK with Python&nbsp;3.
