How large is it possible for a PC to get?  For clarity, here are my parameters:   This is about size categories, not 'feet' or 'inches' or 'meters' or any other precise measurement. This is about Medium to Large to Huge to Gargantuan categories.  This is for an NPC charlatan using this to trick people. (It's an NPC but will have a full PC sheet, so the distinction between PC and NPC doesn't matter). Any means of size category enlargement works for this purpose, including magic spells, magic items, etc. Illusions do not count because it's about actually becoming larger, not just casting an illusion of a gargantuan giant version of yourself.  The character must remain the same physical structure. Polymorphing into a Gargantuan Dragon would not satisfy the need here. Consumable items are fine. This does not need to be permanent. Suppose that we do not know anything about the complex analysis (numbers). In this case, how to calculate the following integral in closed form? $$\int_0^\infty\frac{\cos x}{1+x^2}\,\mathrm{d}x$$ How to calculate the summation $(\sum_{p = k}^{n} \binom{n}{p}) / 2^n$ quickly? I was solving a question which technically reduces to the following     Given $N$ items, it is equiprobable for each item to be good or bad, what is the probability that number of good items in the set are greater than or equal to $K$.   This can be reduced to $\dfrac{x}{2^n}$ where $\displaystyle x = \sum_{p = k}^{n} \binom{n}{p}$. Is there a more simplified form which is easier to calculate for large values of $N, K$?  Note: It may be safe to assume that we do not require extremely high precision while calculating(first 5-10 digits only).  Thanks! Answering a phone call with "Yes, XX, tell me" I have heard a lot of people pick their phone and go "Yes, XX, tell me" (highly used in India).  I think the right way should be "Hey, XX, what's up?" or "Hey, XX, what's going on"? But does this work in a professional environment? How to split numbers into columns with negative and positive values, without empty cells? Single Variable Calculus Reference Recommendations This question is a  of the common question asking for calculus references. It is here to  away the repetition, and give a canonical resource for calculus references.      I'm looking for a resources to learn single-variable calculus. How to prove sum of powers property of roots of unity? Often in fantasies involving magic casting spells requires a certain physical or mental toll on the caster. I don't recall any mention of spells being physically or mentally taxing in the Harry Potter universe.  Does this mean they can cast an unlimited number of spells in a given day without any negative effect to themselves? Does tourist visa (90 days) apply after a long-term visa ends in Schengen countries? I am an Australian currently on a Netherlands working holiday visa that ends in May next year. I would like to know if when my visa ends I then get another 90 days just as a regular tourist visa as I would like to do some more travel within Europe when my visa ends before going home to Australia. Can someone please explain how I can install  in the following ways?   By using the package manager? By downloading and installing a pre-built package? How to sort Wrapper list? I have a wrapper class which contains a list of sobjects, i want to have th sorting on the fields of these objects in the wrapper list: The apex code is as follows:  Class jobsWrapper {     public JobSuite__Job__c job { get; set; }     public JobSuite__Job_Task__c jobTasks { get; set; }      public JobsWrapper(JobSuite__Job__c objjobs, JobSuite__Job_Task__c objjobTasks) {         // if(jobTasks== NULL){jobTasks = new List&lt;Job_Task__c&gt;();}         job = objjobs;         jobTasks = objjobTasks;      }      public JobsWrapper() {         if(jobTasks== NULL) {             jobTasks = new JobSuite__Job_Task__c();         }          if(job == NULL) {             job = new JobSuite__Job__c();         }             } }   I want to allow sorting the wrapper list by the fields in the job - like client, jobname, jobnumber etc and fields from the task object as taskname, reviseddue dateetc.  How can I do this? Please help, thanks in advance. Some packages, have a Provides: header. For example, the package postfix on Debian Wheezy has Provides: mail-transport-agent.   The package mail-transport-agent which doesn't exist physically is considered as a "virtual" package.   How can I know, on a Debian based system, if a given virtual package is "installed" (or "provided")? Can I list every "provided" virtual package?  Hint: to list every existing virtual package, installed or not, do: aptitude search "~v" I often read that in case of Deep Learning models the usual practice is to apply mini batches (generally a small one, 32/64) over several training epochs. I cannot really fathom the reason behind this.  Unless I'm mistaken, the batch size is the number of training instances let seen by the model during a training iteration; and epoch is a full turn when each of the training instances have been seen by the model. If so, I cannot see the advantage of iterate over an almost insignificant subset of the training instances several times in contrast with applying a "max batch" by expose all the available training instances in each turn to the model (assuming, of course, enough the memory). What is the advantage of this approach? How can I prove $\sup(A+B)=\sup A+\sup B$ if $A+B=\{a+b\mid a\in A, b\in B\}$ If $A,B$ non empty, upper bounded sets and $A+B=\{a+b\mid a\in A, b\in B\}$, how can I prove that $\sup(A+B)=\sup A+\sup B$? Facing an error "*** glibc detected *** free(): invalid next size (fast)" Earth Engine convert list with coordinates and values into a feature collection for export I need to create a feature collection from a list containing coordinates and band values.  These are extracted from a landsat image as shown in this linked script.    I'm unable to find a solution in creating a feature collection.  Here is the tail end code.  var valuesList = joinedImage.reduceRegion({   reducer: ee.Reducer.toList(4),   geometry: myGeometry }).values().get(0);  var feature = ee.Feature(null, valuesList);   // Wrap the Feature in a FeatureCollection for export. var myFeatures = ee.FeatureCollection([feature]);   // Export the image, specifying scale and region. Export.table.toDrive(myFeatures, "data", "myData", "B4-B5",  "CSV");   This doesn't work, because it is clearly the wrong way to create the feature collection.  I've tried to create it similar to Rodrigo E. Principe's solution of mapping a Feature Collection but I can't seem to create the initial feature collection to start with. Remove duplicate fields in a given column (after ID check) How to force restart an iPhone with broken home button Earlier today I was on my iPhone and it randomly froze so I turned it off. When I went to unlock it it wouldn't move. I couldn't unlock it or tap anything. So now I can only stay on the lock screen. I read on the Apple website that I should "force restart" it by pressing my home button and power button at the same time. The problem is my home button is stuck and doesn't work. What should I do? I'd like to be able to easily transfer large files wirelessly, fast, between Android devices - preferably without requiring root.  As a secondary objetive, it wouldn't hurt if the same solution could be used, to transfer files between the Android devices and a Windows PC.   Specifically, I'm trying to exchange files between my Nexus 7 (Android 4.2.2) and Samsung Galaxy S2 (Android 4.0.4).   Bluetooth is simply too slow, so that's out of the question Transfer via the Internet is also not an option, hence so is cloud-based solutions Only Nexus 7 supports NFC, so that's out too  looked promising and very simple, but does not work on "Devices that don't have WiFi Tethering setting, such as the Nexus 7"   Wi-Fi direct ( and up) seems to be a decent lowest common denominator between my two devices, however...  Galaxys S2's native Send via Wi-Fi Direct sees the Nexus, but seems to get stuck in the "Connecting..." most times. When there finally seems to be breakthrough, I get "Waiting..." and a spinning circle. Even if it worked, it would only allow me to send from the Galaxy S2 to the Nexus 7, as a similar option os not present on the Nexus 7.  J4velin's  is no longer available in the Play Store, with the following explanation:     WiFi Direct drivers are broken on many devices, which led to users leaving negative reviews for this app. As I don't see any sense in keeping a free app published when only getting 1-star-ratings (for an issue which only your device manufacturer can fix), the app is no longer available at the Play Store.   Nick Adams'  seems flaky at best. Invations from Nexus 7 to Galaxy S2 are never received. Invitations from Galaxy S2 are mostly received, but even when accepting promptly, the peers doesn't always show as connected. When they finally do, usually after quite a long wait, I can select a file to send but it's never transferred -  "Transfer failed" it says almost immediately in the notification bar.  budius inc's  is working slightly better, but still very unreliable. I actually managed to (occasionally) send files both ways, but never when attempting connection from the Nexus 7. To send from the Nexus 7 to the Galaxy S2, I had to go through this akward manoeuvre:   Share the file on the Nexus 7 via the WiFi Shoot intent Start the Receive WiFi Shoot app on the Galaxy S2 Invite the Nexus 7 from the Galaxy S2 (never the other way around!) Accept the invitation on the Nexus 7 Press the Shoot button on the Galaxy S2   Take the whole switching back and forth between devices, and garnish with random delays or failures in any step of the process...  Is there really no easy, reliable, fast way to transfer files directly between different Android devices?  Generally, my experience with Wi-Fi Direct is all but positive...   A device often won't even see a device lying next to it Sometimes, it will see the other device, only to have it disappear from the list, before I have the chance to connect When I do have a chance, invations are not realiably received (from Galaxy S2 to Nexus 7 mostly reliable, but never worked the other way around) When invitations are received (and accepted), a partnership rarely manages to be setup ("invited" or "connecting") And even when that happens, some apps can't seem to transfer files through it...   *Sigh*  Maybe J4velin's explanation pretty much sums up the sad state of Wi-Fi Direct on Android, which otherwise seemed as the best solution to my quest?
