Many SE sites (like math.SE) have a problem with mixed content, which causes display bugs in recent browsers. This is particularly evident with math.SE (because of the huge use of MathJax) and with chat sections.  Will this be fixed?

I was trying to create an AnyDice function to model the Great Weapon Fighting fighting style (which lets you reroll 1s and 2s), but I couldn't get it to work on any arbitrary dice.  I've found this one:  function: reroll R:n under N:n {    if R &lt; N { result: d12 } else {result: R} } output [reroll 1d12 under 3] named "greataxe weapon fighting"   And it works fine. But I don't know how to make the function generic so i don't need to change the d12 every time i want a different dice to reroll.  I've tried  function: reroll R:n under N:n {    if R &lt; N { result: d{1..R} } else {result: R} } output [reroll 1d12 under 3] named "greataxe weapon fighting"   but it is not giving the right probabilities. Maybe if I could fetch the die size inside the function... I need a cell that contains an image to also contain a hyperlink.  Following formula is the only one I found but doesn't work (error analyzing formula)  =HYPERLINK("URL", image("URL"))   Following formula I tried shows a blank cell but the link works  =hyperlink("URL"; Image("URL")) Since we're all into this OpenID thing, I think it would be really useful (and quite easy) to implement a friend invitation feature that grabs a list of friends from one's webmail contact list with an option to choose who to invite to SO, SF or SU. Something in the line of Facebook's friend invitation and recommendation feature. What are imaginary numbers? At school, I really struggled to understand the concept of imaginary numbers.  My teacher told us that an imaginary number is a number that has something to do with the square root of $-1$.  When I tried to calculate the square root of $-1$ on my calculator, it gave me an error.  To this day I still do not understand imaginary numbers.  It makes no sense to me at all.  Is there someone here who totally gets it and can explain it?  Why is the concept even useful? set of almost complex structures on $\mathbb R^4$ as two disjoint spheres The set of almost complex structures on $\mathbb R^{2n}$ is given by $$ M_n = \frac{GL(2n,\mathbb R)}{GL(n,\mathbb C)} = \mathcal C_+ \sqcup \mathcal C_-,$$ taking into account that $\det = \pm 1$ gives two disjoint sets.  How do we show that $M_2=S^2 \sqcup S^2$? Moreover, I'm a bit confused by dimensions: how does $\dim_{\mathbb R}M_2=8$ relates with the latter decomposition?  This is exercise 1.2.1 from the book Complex geometry by Huybrechts. I have seen a "Universal Laptop Adapter" sold in a computer shop before. I am thinking of getting one for a laptop. Is it safe to use? What differences are there between one of these and a typical laptop adapter? What is a decoupling capacitor and how do I know if I need one? What is a decoupling capacitor (or smoothing capacitor as referred to in the link below)?  How do I know if I need one and if so, what size and where it needs to go?    mentions many chips needing one between VCC and GND; how do I know if a specific chip is one?   Would an  4-bit parallel access shift register used with an Arduino need one? (To use my current project as an example) Why or why not?  I feel like I'm starting to understand the basics of resistors and some places they're used, what values should be used in said places, etc, and I'd like to understand capacitors at the basic level as well. When I boot in GRUB2 and press c, I have access to GRUB shell.  How to change the keyboard layout (language) of this GRUB shell?  Note that I'm booting an Ubuntu VM inside Virtualbox. Let $S$ and $T$ be finite non-empty sets such that $|S| = |T|$. Show that the function $f : S\to T$ is onto if and only if it is one-to-one. This is a recent homework bonus question assigned in my Proofs and Conjectures class. It (evidently) includes and evaluates our understanding of elementary-set theory and how to determine and prove that the function f is onto and one-to-one. I haven't been able to really grasp firmly how it is we do this. Help would be much appreciate, thank you.

Proving a Lipschitz function is continuous A function $f:D\subset \mathbb R \to \mathbb R$  is lipschitz given that there exists a $L\gt0$ such that $|f(x)-f(y)|\le L|x-y|$  I need to prove this function is then continuous. Is there a best definition of continuous functions to use for this proof given the definition of Lipschitz?  Is the epsilon delta way the only way to do it? can someone help me set it up? I really struggle with implementing that definition. Modiagram will not compile The Megahertz Myth became a promotional tactic due to differences between the PC's INTEL 8086 processor and Apple's Rockwell 6502 processor.  The 8086 ran at 4.77MHz while the 6502 ran at 1MHz.  However, instructions on the 6502 needed fewer cycles; so many fewer, in fact, that it ran faster than the 8086.  Why do some instructions need fewer cycles?  And why can't the instructions of the 6502, needing fewer cycles, be combined with a fast cycling processor of the 8086?  Wikipedia's article for instructions per cycle (IPC) says     Factors governing IPC   A given level of instructions per second can be achieved with a high IPC and a low clock speed...or from a low IPC and high clock speed.   Why can't you have both high instructions per cycle and high clock speed?  Maybe this has to do with what a clock cycle is?  Wikipedia mentions synchronization of circuits?  Not sure what that means.  Or maybe this has to do with how a pipeline works?  I'm not sure why instructions in a short pipeline are different from instructions in a long pipeline.  Any insight would be great!  Just trying to understand the architecture behind the myth.  Thanks!  References: How to convert ISO 8601 date (string) to Date? In the following code I loop through a map and test if an element needs to be erased.
