How do I determine the size of an object in Python?
How long should it take to refresh a Developer Sandbox? I refreshed a Developer Sandbox, and almost 24 hours it is still "pending". Is this normal? Are there any actions I can take to speed up the process? When I created the Sandbox it took barely more than 10 minutes to create.  Thanks, Adrian Movie with "Where do the tubes go?" I'm trying to find a movie with an underground facility with people wearing white suits. The people have been affected such that they show no curiosity. There is one person that does and asks one of his co-workers where a tube leads to.      At the end there is an uprising where everyone gets to see the surface and sunlight.   What is the name of this movie? Should moderators be allowed to decline flags on their own comments? I think I just witnessed a moderator decline a flag raised on his own comment. (I'm hesitant to discuss specifics unless I have to, as I don't mean to put anyone in a negative light.)  Since there are at least 2 other moderators per site, I'm not sure this should be allowed—I feel that either   only uninvolved moderator(s) should be able to view and handle flags on co-moderators' posts, or moderators should be able to view all flags, but a flagged moderator should not be allowed to decline a flag against him- or herself.   I have no personal issue with this moderator. I just felt in this case that there was truth in both sides (the moderator's as well as the flagging user's), and sought a win-win solution, i.e. by improving the disputed answer. Coming back an hour later to see that the moderator unilaterally declined the user's flag—that didn't seem fair to the user...  I am making some assumptions based on the "Last Seen" stat in the moderator tools, so if I'm simply mistaken on what happened, I apologize in advance. Spurious @ symbol at start of bash prompt in Debian Jessie JSF doesn't support cross-field validation, is there a workaround? Re-number a list when a new entry is inserted I have a text file of numbered entries:  1. foo 2. bar 100% 3. kittens 4. eat cake 5. unicorns 6. rainbows   and so on up to some large number. Then after an empty line, a new block starts from 1.  I insert a new entry, replacing, say, 4. and I need to renumber all the subsequent entries in the block:  1. foo 2. bar 100% 3. kittens 4. sunshine &lt; 5. eat cake 6. unicorns 7. rainbows Why did Itachi poke Sasuke's forehead? From the beginning of the series, even during his last moments, Itachi poked Sasuke's forehead as a way of showing affection and apologizing.  But is that the only reason? Did he perhaps try to transfer some knowledge or memories to Sasuke? Or is it simply unknown? proving roots of equation $x^2+x+4f=0$ are real. Let $a,b,c$ be three positive real numbers such that $a+b+c=1$. Let $f=\min(a^3+a^2bc, b^3+ab^2c,c^3+abc^2)$. Prove that the roots of the equation $x^2+x+4f=0$ are real. Transparent textured planes produce black artifacts How do I configure Nautilus to open at my Documents folder instead of my home folder?  I've scoured this site and found answers instructing users to edit the /usr/share/applications/nautilus.desktop file, replacing %U with the path to the desired default directory. I've edited all the variants of nautilus.desktop in the said directory, but none of the edits has an effect. I've checked all the files after editing them to make sure that I saved the edit effectively, and all look good to me.   I've edited every file to read as follows:  Exec=nautilus --new-window /home/judy/Documents   I've also edited the org.gnome.Nautilus.desktop file, just to be sure, with no joy.   I'm running Ubuntu 15.10.  Note: if I enter nautilus /home/judy/Documents from the command line, Nautilus properly opens in the desired directory.  Is there a simple way that I can configure an icon in the launcher bar to run this command and have the Nautilus icon that looks like a metal file drawer?  Thanks. I'm pulling my hair out over this one. How to handle a lost KeyStore password in Android? If the universe is expanding, what is it expanding into? If the universe is expanding, what is it expanding into? When the big bang happened where did it occur?  When the big bang happened how did it occur?  Where did the energy come from? Energy can not be created or destroyed does that mean, energy has existed before the universe was here? Please help me out with this problem:  Let $f_n(x) : [0,1] \to \mathbb R$ be a sequence of continuous functions convergent at every $x \in [0,1]$ to a continuous function $f: [0,1]  \to \mathbb R$ . Does $f_n$ converge uniformly to $f$?  My first solution: I read this example in  posted earlier and I think it works: Take a sequence $f_n:[0,1] \to \mathbb R$ such that $f_n$ increases linearly from $0$ to $1$ on the interval $\left[ 0,\frac{1}{n} \right]$, decreases linearly from $1$ to $0$ on the intreval $\left[ \frac{1}{n}, \frac{2}{n} \right]$, and is $0$ on $\left[ \frac{2}{n},1 \right]$. Then $f_{n} \to 0$ nonuniformly.  Is this answer true? Also, if anyone can give some examples of such function with detailed proof, I will very appreciative? Proof that a sum of Bernoulli rvs has Binomial distribution Install Win7 theme on Ubuntu 16.04 I'm totally new to Ubuntu. I've installed version 16.04 and I'm having trouble finding my way around. I've tried just about all possible ways to make Ubuntu look like windows 7. Every way I tried was missing something, Is there a way to make version 16.04 be like win7? how to find $|GL_2(F_p)|$ I need to find $|GL_2(F_p)|$, I am very very uncomfortable in counting, so please help here I proceed,  $\begin{pmatrix}a&amp;b\\c&amp;d\end{pmatrix}$ be such an invertible matrix, so we need and sufficient that $ad\neq bc$, so if i chose all non zero $a,b,c$ arbitrarily and chose $d\neq a^{-1}bc$ and form matrices then the cardinality   will be $(q-1)^3\times (q-2)$, well now if one of $a,b,c,d$ be zero then other three can be anything nonzero so in this case cardinality will be $4(q-1)^3$, so finally if two entries are $0$ then they must be opposite to each other i.e diagonally, but other two must be nonzero, so cardinality in that case $2(q-1)^2$, so total number is just sum of three cases. SHM with acceleration at mean position Suppose we have an equation of  motion as $$\frac{d^2x}{dt^2} = -kx + c,$$ then can it be called a SHM? Since acceleration is still proportional to displacement. But then, how will we define the mean position? Prove  that the function $\displaystyle f(x)=\frac{x}{x^2+1}$ is continuous at $x=-1$. You should give a proof that is directly based on the  definition of continuity.   I saw many similar questions on this website, but none of them gave me a satisfactory answer. I more or less understand how epsilon-delta proofs work but my problem lies more in the algebraic manipulations probably. So here's my "attempt".  Definition of continuity; for $f:A \to \mathbb{R}$     $$\forall \varepsilon &gt;0 \ \exists\delta&gt;0\ \forall x \forall x_0 \in A:|x-x_0|&lt;\delta \Rightarrow |f(x)-f(x_0)|&lt;\varepsilon$$   So from what I understand, the procedure for epsilon-delta proofs are as follows: 1. Plug the point of interest $x_0$ into $|f(x)-f(x_0)|&lt;\varepsilon$ 2. Write $x$ in terms of $\varepsilon$ 3. Then plug $x$ into $|x-x_0|&lt;\delta$ 4. Find $\delta$ in terms of $\varepsilon$. Done    At step 1, we have $\left|\dfrac{x}{x^2+1}+\dfrac{1}{2}\right|&lt;\varepsilon$. Step 2 is where I'm stuck because of the 2nd degree polynomial in the denominator. First, I did this: $\left|\dfrac{x}{x^2+1}\right|&lt;\left|\dfrac{x}{x^2+1}+\dfrac{1}{2}\right|&lt;\varepsilon$. Then, I wasn't too sure about what to do, I thought about getting rid of the "$1$", but that would screw up my inequality. I thought about factoring $x^2+1$, but it doesn't have any real roots. I tried inverting the fraction, but that led me to nowhere. And I've already exhausted the tools I have. How do I proceed?  Apparently, epsilon-delta proofs are the most basic building blocks of analysis. And I'm already failing, this is both embarrassing and depressing... Is there a standard naming convention for XML elements? Is there any standard, de facto or otherwise, for XML documents? For example which is the "best" way to write a tag?  &lt;MyTag /&gt; &lt;myTag /&gt; &lt;mytag /&gt; &lt;my-tag /&gt; &lt;my_tag /&gt;   Likewise if I have an enumerated value for an attribute which is better  &lt;myTag attribute="value one"/&gt; &lt;myTag attribute="ValueOne"/&gt; &lt;myTag attribute="value-one"/&gt; Evaluating $\lim\limits_{n\to\infty} e^{-n} \sum\limits_{k=0}^{n} \frac{n^k}{k!}$ I'm supposed to calculate: $$\lim_{n\to\infty} e^{-n} \sum_{k=0}^{n} \frac{n^k}{k!}$$ By using WolframAlpha, I might guess that the limit is $\frac{1}{2}$, which is a pretty interesting and nice result. I wonder in which ways we may approach it.
