FFmpeg lossy compression problems Capitalize and punctuate "let us continue this discussion in chat" Stack Exchange has a feature to help move extended discussions out of comments and into chat, but when you use it, it automatically writes the following message for you:  let us   Could we get the orthography fixed?  I'd like it to read:  Let us .  That's a capital letter at the beginning and a period at the end. I have the following code that will remove lines with the pattern banana and 2 lines after it:  sed '/banana/I,+2 d' file   So far, so good! But I need it to remove 2 lines before banana, but I can't get it with a “minus sign” or whatever (similar to what grep -v -B2 banana file should do but doesn't):  teresaejunior@localhost ~ &gt; LC_ALL=C sed '-2,/banana/I d' file sed: invalid option -- '2' teresaejunior@localhost ~ &gt; LC_ALL=C sed '/banana/I,-2 d' file sed: -e expression #1, char 16: unexpected `,' teresaejunior@localhost ~ &gt; LC_ALL=C sed '/banana/I,2- d' file sed: -e expression #1, char 17: unknown command: `-' Blending colors in photoshop and illustrator I am working on a print for my wall and I am trying to create something like this:      I have already created the letters in Illustrator and now I am adding the colors in Illustrator and then exporting everything to Photoshop and then using the liquify tool to blend the colors to create a similar effect. I also used the healing patch tool to blend in the hard edges.  Is that the right way of doing it? Or is there another way? Can not start Chrome via command line I have a script that needs to run on multiple machines. The problem is, if I open a command line and type in chrome or chrome.exe, I get the same error message that it is not recognized as an internal or external command... I have already added it to my paths (as per screen shot below, see bottom entry in the paths) . It works this way on other computers.  The command prompt has been restarted (as has the computer) since updating the paths. Why does it not open Chrome as it does on my other machine(s)? Whilst entering C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe directly into the command line and pressing enter does make Chrome launch, I don't see why the path is not working. Suppose you have an object with zero for the value of all the derivatives of position. In order to get the object moving you would need to increase the value of the velocity from zero to some finite value. A change is velocity is acceleration, so the value of the acceleration would have to increase from zero to some value. You would also need to increase the jerk from zero to some value to have a change in acceleration.  Is there an infinite series of higher derivatives of position for this to work? Or am I missing something? Sum of columns for rows containing a specific term Adding a way to mark answer as "partially accepted" When someone gives me an answer which is useful, but doesn't fully answer the question, there is a problem when I need to decide what to do with it.  If I accept this partial answer, no one will answer me no matter how I show the unsolved part of my problem, because the question is considered "answered".  However, If I do not accept it, there is another problem:  if a second person answered the unsolved part, which answer should I accept? But the majority work may be done by the first one. If this style become consistent, who will answered an almost solved question?  In my point of view, there should be something like a progress bar which allows me to allocate the percentage of acceptance to users who answered my question. This would make everyone feel comfortable. Exactly half of the elements of $\mathcal{P}(A)$ are odd-sized How to get Ubuntu download for a Mac? Slow math typing I have been using LaTeX for quite some time, but I find the math writing to be a bit frustrating. It seems to take me a relatively long time to code-write long math expressions, and sometimes it's hard to see where { start and end.  I am interested in writing as fast as possible.  Is code-typing each symbol really the fastest way? Is there any good program (in the spirit of Word's MathType) that enables producing math expressions by button clicking, that you recommend? Short Science Fiction story, told in a series of letters This was a short story told in a series of letters.  The protagonist starts by writing a letter to a utility company about an error in his bill.  By the last letter he is on death row trying to get his sentence commuted.  Each letter is slightly misunderstood.  I think it's from the late 60's and may have been in anthology like "Orbit". Is there a way to execute JavaScript in Perl? Is a GUID unique 100% of the time?

Why are my JavaScript objects equal to Proxy {} Incorrectly answered 'No' to "Any previous visa refusals..." on a UK Standard Visitor visa application. How can I fix my mistake? My desktop look is empty so all I have is a nice wallpaper. My Windows taskbar has the "Taskbar Appearance" setting to "Auto-hide the taskbar". Although hidden, it leaves a thin top layer so you can still see it a bit, and where the pinned shortcuts are. Is it possible to totally have it hidden without a trace? This is a serious question. It really bugs m. I am an undergrad in economics and really want to get a helping hand as I get from math and stats from a Stack Exchange site for economics. Where can I post my questions on economics topics? I can ask any of:     Do you know a breakfast place nearby?   Do you know a nearby breakfast place?   Do you know a good breakfast place?   but I really can't ask:     Do you know a breakfast place good?   Is there a general rule for determining whether an adjective must come before the noun or may come, Spanish-style, after it? Server login attempts NOT blocked after configuring fail2ban So, I installed (and configured) fail2ban on three Ubuntu VPS servers. I configured (imo) a maximum of 3 failed login attempts (via Putty as root) within 2 minutes. Then I restarted the fail2ban service (according to ).    But when I look at my auth.log files in /var/log/ I still see 4, 5 or more failed attempts from certain IP's. So obviously I did something wrong as the IP is not blocked after 3 failed attempts.   It might have to do something with iptables, but that's where it gets a bit "foggy" for me..   Not sure how to setup a max-three-failed-login-attempts rule..  Additional: I see that the login attempts mostly have different ports for every attempt. Does that influence the count to max-three?  Because I see a port being "poked" twice and then no more attempts. Then the IP tries a different port (again 2 times). (all bots of course)
