How does Stack Overflow work so well with search engines?
SEO in Stack Overflow
Combined flair not updating with badges I've got 28 bronze badges on Stack Overflow, 10 on Astronomy and 15 on Software Recommendations, making it a total of 53. Yet, my combined flair doesn't show that. It just shows the combined badges from my SO and Astronomy SE sites. The reputation has no problem. I can see the correct combined rep. Why is it happening? Is it because Software Recommendations is in private beta?  Here are the flairs (Combined and that from Software Recommendations):     The rep on my combined flair is the sum total of my rep from all three sites. But the badges aren't. Are there any stats about the percentage of close reasons used to close questions   Successfully (preferably, based on the number of closed questions) Unsuccessfully (alternatively, the total percentags of close votes cast by users)   ?   Is there any way to get this from the query explorer? Is there a word for four times as much, analogous to once, twice, and thrice? Good textbooks on homological algebra Number reference headline I try to number the header of my references. I succeeded to add the number to the table of contents, but I can't get it to work for the header.  To add the number to the toc I used:  \addcontentsline{toc}{section} \protect\numberline{\thesection}References}   If I try the same for \refname, I get 5References without space.   \renewcommand{\refname}{\protect\numberline{\thesection References}}   When I put the references title outside the curly brackets, it's shown in a new line. What am I missing here? The full bibliography call looks like this:  \renewcommand{\refname}{\protect\numberline{\thesection References}} \addtocounter{section}{1} \cleardoublepage \phantomsection \addcontentsline{toc}{section}{\protect\numberline{\thesection}References} \bibliographystyle{apacite} \bibliography{bachelor}   EDIT 1:  As @TeXnician stated, a tilde would solve the problem. It is not very elegant, though, as I have to use approximatly three of them to get the same space as in the other headlines.   \renewcommand{\refname}{\protect\numberline{\thesection~~~References}}   EDIT 2: @Werner suggested a shorter solution, but it throws multiple errors, when I try to integrate it into my .tex file. Here's a short reproducable example which replicates the errors.  \documentclass[12pt]{article} \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} \usepackage[margin=1.1in]{geometry} \usepackage{listings} \usepackage{apacite} \usepackage{natbib}  \begin{filecontents}{mybib.bib}  @Article{draxler2010sample,     author    = {Draxler, Clemens},     title     = {Sample size determination for Rasch model tests},     journal   = {Psychometrika},     year      = {2010},     volume    = {75},     number    = {4},     pages     = {708--724},     publisher = {Springer}, }  \end{filecontents}   \begin{document}  \tableofcontents      \section{First Chapter}  \citep{draxler2010sample}  \let\oldsection\section% Store \section in \oldsection \renewcommand{\section}[2]{\oldsection{#2}}% Update \section to gobble * \bibliography{mybib} \bibliographystyle{apacite}  \appendix  \section{R Code}  \subsection{Greedings Function}  \begin{lstlisting}     print("Hello World") \end{lstlisting}  \end{document} What is the difference between dpkg and aptitude/apt-get?

A calligraphic font with small (lowercase) letters Is there a widely available calligraphic font that (1) contains small (lowercase) letters and (2) has a recognizably calligraphic capital letter O?  Background. (1) In mathematics (algebraic geometry), , the latter being written in calligraphic script (standard notation for sheaves). However, most books end up typesetting the sheaf as follows    pulling the small letters from the italics of a completely different font.  (2) The calligraphic capital letter O plays a special role in algebraic geometry, too, and most authors insist on it being recognizably calligraphic (i.e. not just a closed round loop)    Edit.

I'm working on proving the following statement using induction:  $$ \sum_{r=1}^n \frac{1}{r^2} \le \frac{2n}{n+1} $$  Fair enough. I'll start with the basis step:  Basis Step: (n=1) $$ \sum_{r=1}^n \frac{1}{r^2} \le \frac{2n}{n+1} $$ $$ \frac{1}{1^2} \le \frac{2}{1+1} $$ $$ 1 \le 1  \checkmark  $$  Inductive Step: $$ \sum_{r=1}^{n+1} \frac{1}{r^2} \le \frac{2(n+1)}{(n+1)+1} $$ $$ \sum_{r=1}^{n+1} \frac{1}{r^2} \le \frac{2(n+1)}{n+2} $$  My goal is to prove $\forall_{n\ge1} s(n) \implies s(n+1) $ or that this inequality holds true for all $n\ge1$.  I'm not quite sure to go from here on the inductive step. I understand that I need to basically work some clever substitution and manipulation into the problem to end up with: $$ \sum_{r=1}^{n+1} \frac{1}{r^2} \le \frac{2n}{n+1} $$  However, I'm not quite sure what needs to done to obtain this after attempting a few times.

How to prove $\left\{ \omega|X(\omega)=Y(\omega)\right\} \in\mathcal{F}$ is measurable, if $X$ and $Y$ are measurable? Given a probability space $(\Omega ,\mathcal{F} ,\mu)$. Let $X$ and $Y$ be $\mathcal{F}$-measurable real valued random variables.  How would one proove that $\left\{ \omega|X(\omega)=Y(\omega)\right\} \in\mathcal{F}$ is measurable.  My thoughts: Since $X$ and $Y$ are measurable, it is true, that for each $x\in\mathbb{R}:$ $\left\{ \omega|X(\omega)&lt;x\right\} \in\mathcal{F}$ and $\left\{ \omega|Y(\omega)&lt;x\right\} \in\mathcal{F}$.  It follows that $\left\{ \omega|X(\omega)-Y(\omega)\leq x\right\} \in\mathcal{F}$  Therefore $\left\{ -\frac{1}{n}\leq\omega|X(\omega)-Y(\omega)\leq \frac{1}{n} \right\} \in\mathcal{F}$, for $n\in\mathbb{N}$.  Therefore $0=\bigcap_{n\in\mathbb{N}}\left\{ -\frac{1}{n}\leq\omega|X(\omega)-Y(\omega)\leq \frac{1}{n} \right\} \in\mathcal{F}$.  Am working towards the correct direction?

Is there a way to substring a string in Python, to get a new string from the third character to the end of the string?  Maybe like myString[2:end]?

However rather than flying direct to Canada I am meeting an American friend in LA and driving across the border. I have a return flight booked back to Australia from LA in March of next year too. Will the esta visa will be enough to enter the USA because I have my Canadian working visa and plan to travel there? Or will there be a problem because my return flight is booked later then the 90 days allowed on the visa. URL regex passed by regex buddy but failed by Dart
