How do you Programmatically Download a Webpage in Java A more succinct expression for "The day before yesterday" Is there a more succinct expression for "the day before yesterday"?   In German for example, gestern = 'yesterday.' The prefix vor roughly means before, so logically, vorgestern means 'the day before yesterday.'   Similarly, morgen = 'tomorrow', the prefix über roughly means over, so again, übermorgen means 'the day after tomorrow.'  (In Mandarin Chinese also you have respectively 前天 &amp; 後天.)  Presumably, there are also similarly logical ways to say "the page after the next" or "the paragraph before the last", etc.   Are there no similarly succinct, and graceful, expressions in English? Why is the minimum size of a generating set for a finite group at most $\log_2 n$? It seems to be known that the minimum size of a generating set for a finite group of order $n$ is at most $\log_2 n$. Can someone explain why this is true?  Edit: noted that the logarithm is base 2, and $n$ represents the order of the group. Name of short sci-fi story involving a musician who is punished for listening to Bach How to enclosure a text block into big square brackets? everybody.  I need to enclosure a text block into big square brackets.  Something like this (I need to replicate it, more or less):   I've read that it could be possible with tikz but I don't know anything about that package.  Even, I found a code that reproduce something similar but with braces in this post:  The code is this:  \documentclass{article} \usepackage{lipsum} \usepackage[many]{tcolorbox} \usetikzlibrary{decorations.pathreplacing}  \newtcolorbox{rightbrace}{%     enhanced jigsaw,      breakable, % allow page breaks     frame hidden, % hide the default frame     overlay={%         \draw [             fill=none, % fill paper             decoration={brace,amplitude=0.5em},             decorate,             ultra thick,             gray,         ]         % right line         (frame.north east)--(frame.south east);     },     % paragraph skips obeyed within tcolorbox     parbox=false, }  \begin{document}  \begin{itemize}     \item First line           \begin{rightbrace}             \item Second line              \item Third line, which is quite long and seemingly tedious in the extreme             \item Fourth line, which isn't as long as the third            \end{rightbrace}     \item Fifth line \end{itemize}  \begin{rightbrace}     \lipsum[1] \end{rightbrace} \lipsum[2]  \end{document}   How could I put the square brackets around a block of text? (Using tikz, tcolobox or whatever package then can be useful for it).  Thanks for your help. Irreducibility check for polynomials not satisfying Eisenstein Criterion. My Question is to check Irreducibility for polynomials not satisfying Eisenstein Criterion.  As an Illustration, to check whether $x^{p-1}+.....+x+1$ for p a prime is irreducible or not, we replaced $x$ by $x+1$ and by using Eisenstein's Criterion for the resulting polynomial we conclude that resulting polynomial is irreducible and so is the original polynomial.  In general, for a given irreducible polynomial $f(x)$ with coefficients in a known U.F.D, is there some element $a$ such that we can apply Eisenstein's criterion to $f(x+a)$?  I am sure there would be no general structure for this but I expect there to be at least some special cases.   Any Reference/suggestion would be appreciated.  Thank You. How to force a node group input field to display a slider? I have created a couple of node groups with some "group-inputs-sliders" (The one called "Roughness" in the bottom picture). I would like it to have the blue-bar slider like the blender native ones. Thanks (: How to Fix Broken Packages? How do I fix broken packages when it is not working? When I try to fix broken packages, it tells me to "fix broken packages." Do I need to activate the firewall? I only use Ubuntu for a home desktop use? Loop-cut won't go all the way around Alright so I've seen some postings about loop cuts and done some research. I am very new to blender and modeling overall. I am trying to loop cut this concrete barrier. Now I'm following a tutorial and kind of did my own thing in some areas. I cleaned it up following some instructions in another answer here on stack exchange.  I can't for the life of me figure out why I can loop cut around the whole bottom:   ...but not the whole middle:   I see this marked as answered by another question. That question refers to ngons and inside faces. Now once again I'm totally new to this. I looked on the inside. I don't believe I have inside faces or any ngons by the terms I've read online in my research.  Here is a wireframe picture and the inside view:     Maybe I'm missing something the answers on other posts are saying. If so and you know what it is I'd be very appreciative of what it is. I am typing to get a sale amount (by input) to be multiplied by a defined sales tax (0.08) and then have it print the total amount (sales tax times sale amount).  I run into this error. Anyone know what could be wrong or have any suggestions?   salesAmount = raw_input (["Insert sale amount here \n"]) ['Insert sale amount here \n']20.99 &gt;&gt;&gt; salesTax = 0.08 &gt;&gt;&gt; totalAmount = salesAmount * salesTax  Traceback (most recent call last):   File "&lt;pyshell#57&gt;", line 1, in &lt;module&gt;     totalAmount = salesAmount * salesTax TypeError: can't multiply sequence by non-int of type 'float' Find Max Value for each month for the last 3 months, properly In what cases I should skip 's in possessive case? How to fix slow wireless on machines with Intel wireless cards? I have looked through all the previous questions but turning power management off for the Wi-Fi card didn't work. This problem seems to be with the Lenovo Thinkpads. I switched to Ubuntu 11.10 from Windows 7 3 days ago so I'm new to the operating system. How can I use the `--multi-dex` option? What are copy elision and return value optimization? Is a quotient group a subgroup? Is a quotient group a subgroup?   I am trying to solve the question below, and if the answer to above is "yes," then my proof will follow below.   I am trying to prove that a cyclic group G, has a cyclic quotient group G/N.  Where N is a normal subgroup.  A SUBGROUP OF A CYCLIC GROUP IS CYCLIC.  By   So if   (1) G is cyclic   (2) G/N is a subgroup   (3) G/N is a cyclic subgroup   (4) The Quotient group G/N is cyclic   I am unsure about my reasoning in step (2), Is this a valid assumption? Calculating a spherical polygon centroid I found this question in a book.   How many terms of the Maclaurin expansion of $(1+x)^{82}$ are needed to guarantee finding a value of $1.1^{82}$ to an accuracy of $10^{-6}$?  This is how I tried to do it:  We want the Lagrange error to be less than $10^{-6}$:  $$R_{n}(0.1)&lt;10^{-6}$$  Now to find $R_{n}(0.1)$:  $$R_{n}(0.1)=\frac{f^{(n+1)}(0.1)\cdot0.1^{n+1}}{(n+1)!}$$  After writing the values of ${f^{(n+1)}}(x)$, I find a pattern and say that  $${f^{(n+1)}}(x)=\frac{82!}{(82-n)!}(1+x)^{82-n}$$  $${f^{(n+1)}}(0.1)=\frac{82!}{(82-n)!}(1.1)^{82-n}=\frac{82!(1.1)^{82-n}}{(82-n)!}$$  Now just substitute all of this back to $R_{n}(0.1)&lt;10^{-6}$:  $$\frac{\frac{82!(1.1)^{82-n}}{(82-n)!}\cdot0.1^{n+1}}{(n+1)!}&lt;10^{-6}$$  Great! Now I have an inequality that I can solve. I can't graph this so I just use trial and error (which seems like quite an intensive way to do it, so if anyone has a better way I'd love to know).  $$\frac{\frac{82!(1.1)^{82-n}}{(82-n)!}\cdot0.1^{n+1}}{(n+1)!}-10^{-6}&lt;0$$  This seems to work first for $n=28$. That means the highest power of $x$ that I need is 28, so the number of terms in the expansion needs to be $n+1=29$. But the book's answer is       30   What am I doing wrong here? I'm still quite new to the power series expansions so if there's anything unclear in my working, please let me know (also, as a side note, the book itself may be wrong, though that isn't very likely I'd assume). I'd like to colorize a cell based on its contents. 0 = red, 100 = green, and linearly interpolated between.  function LinInt(x){       var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();   var cell = ss.getActiveRange();   var hue;   hue = (x/100)*120;    var color = HSVtoRGB(hue, 40, 100);   cell.setBackground(color);    return x;     }     function HSVtoRGB(h, s, v) {     var r, g, b, i, f, p, q, t;     if (h &amp;&amp; s === undefined &amp;&amp; v === undefined) {         s = h.s, v = h.v, h = h.h;     }     i = Math.floor(h * 6);     f = h * 6 - i;     p = v * (1 - s);     q = v * (1 - f * s);     t = v * (1 - (1 - f) * s);     switch (i % 6) {         case 0: r = v, g = t, b = p; break;         case 1: r = q, g = v, b = p; break;         case 2: r = p, g = v, b = t; break;         case 3: r = p, g = q, b = v; break;         case 4: r = t, g = p, b = v; break;         case 5: r = v, g = p, b = q; break;     }   return '#'+((b | g &lt;&lt; 8 | r &lt;&lt; 16) / 0x1000000).toString(16).substring(2); }   When I do this I get an error saying that I am not allowed to call setBackground. I assume this is because I'm not allowed to change the color of one cell from another because I'm screwing up getting the current cell that the function is running in.  How do I get the cell that the function is running in so that I can call setBackground() on it?  For example, I'd like to type =LinInt(50) into cell A1 and have A1 be yellow and have the number 50 in it. Then when I type =LinInt(100) into cell A2 it is green and has the number 100 in it.
