Do you think there is a big difference in for...in and for loops? What kind of "for" do you prefer to use and why?  Let's say we have an array of associative arrays:  var myArray = [{'key': 'value'}, {'key': 'value1'}];   So we can iterate:  for (var i = 0; i &lt; myArray.length; i++)   And:  for (var i in myArray)   I don't see a big difference. Are there any performance issues? Making layer or group private/hidden/invisible in Layers Panel of QGIS I have a number of layers in the Layers Panel inside a group but I don't want them shown (there's quite a lot so it looks untidy). These layers are also joined to several others. Is it possible to make these layers invisible to the user (i.e. not shown in the Layers Panel, it is not about setting the visibility of the layer) but can still be joined to other layers, or perhaps to make the group invisible? Closest I found was this post but hoping there's a more direct approach: In PHP (>= 5.0), is passing by reference faster? In PHP, function parameters can be passed by reference by prepending an ampersand to the parameter in the function declaration, like so:  function foo(&amp;$bar) {     // ... }   Now, I am aware that this is not designed to improve performance, but to allow functions to change variables that are normally out of their scope.  Instead, PHP seems to use Copy On Write to avoid copying objects (and maybe also arrays) until they are changed. So, for functions that do not change their parameters, the effect should be the same as if you had passed them by reference.  However, I was wondering if the Copy On Write logic maybe is shortcircuited on pass-by-reference and whether that has any performance impact.  ETA: To be sure, I assume that it's not faster, and I am well aware that this is not what references are for. So I think my own guesses are quite good, I'm just looking for an answer from someone who really knows what's definitely happening under the hood. In five years of PHP development, I've always found it hard to get quality information on PHP internals short from reading the source. If a field $F$ is such that $\left|F\right|>n-1$ why is $V$ a vector space over $F$ not equal to the union of $n$ proper subspaces of $V$ How to show only date after the date of today in JCalendar I have a solid understanding of most OOP theory but the one thing that confuses me a lot is virtual destructors. I thought that the destructor always gets called no matter what and for every object in the chain. When are you meant to make them virtual and why? How to squeeze error message out of PDO? Phone Call On TextView Click How can I find the number of partitions of $n$ into exactly $k$ distinct parts, where each part is at most $M$?  The number of partitions $p_k(\leq M,n)$ of $n$ into at most $k$ parts, each of size at most $M$, is given by the generating function: $$  \binom{M+k}{k}_{x} = \prod_{j=1}^{k}\frac{1-x^{M+k-j+1}}{1-x^j}= \sum_{n=0}^{kM} p_{k}(\leq M,n) x^n $$  For the number of the partitions $p_k(\mathcal{D},n)$ of $n$ into at most $k$ parts there is the recurrence relationship: $$   p_{k}(\mathcal{D},n) = p_{k}(\mathcal{D},n-k) + p_{k-1}(\mathcal{D},n) $$  But what, if I want to count only the partitions with distinct parts and restricted number of parts and restricted part size?  Update: Now I know the generating function for the number of distinct restricted partitions $p_k(\leq M, \mathcal{D},n)$ of $n$ into exactly $k$ distinct parts, all at most $M$ is $$    \prod_{j=1}^{M} (1+xq^{j}) = \sum_{k,n=0}^{\infty}p_k(\leq M, \mathcal{D},n)x^{k}q^{n} $$ and there is also a recurrence relation $$    p_k(\leq M, \mathcal{D},n) =         p_{k-1}(\leq M-1, \mathcal{D},n-k) +         p_k(\leq M-1, \mathcal{D},n-k) $$ How can I prove this? Could you recommend a book, where I could read about this? Finitely generated projective module I'm running CentOS 7.0 build 1503. I'm trying to search for commands I don't know the name of by searching the man descriptions for multiple keywords using AND (e.g. search for a command containing the both words "create" and "group" in the description).  So I came across the command apropos (which is an alias for man -k). The default behaviour when given multiple keywords is to return any command matching any of the keywords, which isn't what I want. According to the man page the option -a specifies using AND, to return matches only when all words match.  But this isn't what I'm seeing in practice, so I need some help here - e.g. using Centos 7, if I do:  apropos create user   I see a huge list of commands, seemingly matching any command with create or user in the description, as expected. Noting the list includes an entry for the command 'useradd (8) - create a new user...'.  If I do:  apropos -a create user   I only get 2 commands (environ and open). This is what I'm confused by - I would expect it to return the command 'useradd (8) - create a new user', because i can see from the previous search that command does contain those words in the description. Also the 2 returned commands don't obviously seem to be anything about creating users. What am I doing wrong? I'm sure it's something embarrassingly obvious, for that I apologise in advance.  Thanks If this is a duplicate question, please point to the right way, but the similar questions I've found here haven't been sufficiently similar. Suppose I estimate the model $$Y=\alpha + \beta X + u$$  and find that $\beta&gt;0$. However, it turns out that $X=X_1+X_2$, and I suspect $\partial Y/\partial X_1 \ne \partial Y / \partial X_2$, and in particular, that $\partial Y/\partial X_1 &gt; \partial Y / \partial X_2$. So I estimate the model $$Y=\alpha + \beta_1 X_1 + \beta_2 X_2 +u$$and find significant evidence for $\beta_1,\beta_2&gt;0$. How can I then test whether $\beta_1&gt; \beta_2$? I considered running another regression $$Y=\alpha +\gamma(X_1 - X_2) + u$$ And testing whether $\gamma&gt;0$. Is this the best way?  Also, I need to generalize the answer to many variables, i.e. suppose we have $$Y=\alpha + \beta^1 X^1 + \beta ^2 X^2 + \dots + \beta^nX^n + u$$ where for each $j=1,\dots,n$, $X^j=X_1^j+X_2^j$, and I would like to test for each $j$ whether $\partial Y/\partial X_1^j \ne \partial Y / \partial X_2^j$.  By the way, I am primarily working in R. I am wondering if there is anything in Marvel comic book canon or in the MCU that says that the Infinity Gauntlet has the power to make someone fall in love with the person wearing the Infinity Gauntlet, or that the wearer of the Infinity Gauntlet can use the Infinity Gauntlet to make two strangers fall in love with each other? Perhaps the combined power of the Mind Stone and the Soul Stone would make two people fall in love. Is it essential to use comma in a big number? Is it necessary to use comma in a big number? For example, if anyone writes one million four hundred thousand and two as 1400002 instead of 1,400,002 on answer sheet of listening section of IELTS test, will it be considered incorrect?  Thanks in advance. Hydraulic Disk brake piston not fully retracting My front disk brake's piston doesn't fully retract.  While I can ride the bike, the brake is slightly rubbing.  (IE, if I just spin the wheel with my hand, it'll go around about one and a half times and then stop.) It's definitely slowing me down.   If this fixable?  The advice I got was that it's not worth the trouble and to buy a replacement set.  The current brakes are Avid Juicy 7s that are about 7 years old What is considered a "real question"? Note:   This close reason is old and only applies to old questions that were closed prior to the closing overhaul. This has been replaced by the reasons "unclear what you're asking" for unclear questions and "too broad" for overly broad questions. Older questions that have been closed as "not a real question" will remain closed under this reason, so this question is left here for reference.   Questions used to be closed as "not a real question."     What makes a question a "real" question? What are new users expected to know about asking "real" questions? Why does SE treat questions differently from other online forums? Mysql resolving 127.0.0.1 to hostname Can a .NET windows application be compressed into a single .exe? I see this often in the build scripts of projects that use autotools (autoconf, automake).  When somebody wants to check the value of a shell variable, they frequently use this idiom:  if test "x$SHELL_VAR" = "xyes"; then ...   What is the advantage to this over simply checking the value like this:  if test $SHELL_VAR = "yes"; then ...   I figure there must be some reason that I see this so often, but I can't figure out what it is. Access personal views in a list with PowerShell I am trying to first access and then edit Personal Views for a SharePoint List using PowerShell. However only the public views are returned. In the example below the list called List1 has two views - 1 public and 1 personal created by a regular user account (contoso\user1).  I run the script below via an admin account (contoso\spadmin) -  $url= "http://portal.contoso.com/sites/TEST" $web = Get-SPWeb $url $list = $web.Lists["List1"] Write-Output "Count = $($list.views.count)" $list.views| % {Write-Output "Title = $($_.title)"}   Result -  Count = 1 Title = All Items   I tried the following as well but that did not return the personal views.   [Microsoft.SharePoint.SPSecurity]::RunWithElevatedPrivileges( {      $web = Get-SPWeb $url     $list = $web.Lists["List1"]     Write-Host "Count = $($list.views.count)"     $list.views| % {Write-Host "Title = $($_.title)"} } )    How do I access the personal views for a list with PowerShell?
