Can the addition of an article change a noun from a thing to a place?
Are there any simple rules for choosing the definite vs. indefinite (vs. none) article?
Since there is no word "shallowen", is there a good antonym of "deepen"? The meaning of "deepen" that I am referring to here is "to cause to become deeper." It doesn't necessarily refer to digging a hole. For example, a temporary deformation in a soft surface:     Putting the anvil on the mattress deepens the depression in it, but removing the anvil ______ it.   I would also be happy with an antonym of the intransitive version "to become deeper." Which is correct: I'll be moving next month or I'll be shifting next month? For changing one's home from one place to another, I've heard people in western part of the world using the sentence:      I'll be moving next month.   In India, even in the English news channels, I've heard many people using the phrase:     I'll be shifting next month.   Which one is the correct usage? Or are both of them correct and the difference in usage is regional? How to export/backup Notes in macOS in one go I have a lot of Notes on my machine which I don't want to loose. It's not logical to export them one by one. Is there any way to export them in one go, which would make me either use them on my new   I learned that I could backup ~/Library/Group Containers/group.com.apple.notes but I am not really sure if this would be helpful. This is what I get as for this directory.  $ du -sh ./* 4.0K    ./Library 256K    ./NoteStore.sqlite  32K    ./NoteStore.sqlite-shm 3.0M    ./NoteStore.sqlite-wal   I am running macOS Mojave. Where can I find historical data on arrival and departure times of a particular flight? Where can I find historical data on flights, specifically Delta international flights?  I need to find out about cancellations, diversions and any other flight data pertaining on particular route at a given time.  This source has to be official and stand up to legal scrutiny. Change Shapefile data source encoding? I tried to change the only the shapefile datasource encoding through properties and also  but it doesn't change it.   Without saving the QGIS project can't I directly change the shapefile datasource encoding?  I also tried this code, it shows change encoding but as I open the shapefile again it show the same old system encoding:  for layer in QgsMapLayerRegistry.instance().mapLayers().values():     layer.setProviderEncoding(u'UTF-8')     layer.dataProvider().setEncoding(u'UTF-8')     print layer.name(), layer.dataProvider().encoding()     (I am not saving QGIS project, just accessing and saving shapefile directly. When I save the project and do this task then it work correctly) Why can't I sort questions by "votes" or "unanswered" without logging in? We are beginning to go down the path of mobile browser support for an enterprise e-commerce webapp (Java/Servlet based).  Of course there are many decisions to be made, but it seems to me the cornerstone is to be able to reliably detect mobile browsers, and make decisions on the content to be returned accordingly.  Is there a standard way to make this determination (quickly) based on the http request, and ideally glean more information about the given browser and device making the request (screen size, html capabilities, etc?).  I would also appreciate any supplemental information that would be of use from someone who has gone down this path of taking an existing large scale enterprise webapp and architect-ing out mobile browser support from the development side.  [edit] I certainly understand the request header and the information about a database of standard user agents is a great help.  For those talking about 'other' request header properties, if you could include similar standardized name / resource of values that would be a big help.  [edit] Several users have proposed solutions that involve a call over the wire to some web service that will do the detection.  While I'm sure this works, it is not a good solution for an enterprise e-commerce site for two reasons: 1) speed.  A call over the wire for every page request to a third party would have huge performance implications.  2) dependency/legal.  We'd tie our website response time and key functionality to their service, which is horrible for legal and risk reasons. How can we communicate short messages long-distance? I need to echo a string containing angle brackets (&lt; and >) to a file on a Windows machine.  Basically what I want to do is the following: echo some string &lt; with angle &gt; brackets &gt;&gt;myfile.txt  This doesn't work since the command interpreter gets confused with the angle brackets.  I could quote the whole string like this: echo "some string &lt; with angle &gt; brackets" &gt;&gt;myfile.txt  But then I have double quotes in my file that I don't want.    Escaping the brackets ala unix doesn't work either: echo some string \&lt; with angle \&gt; brackets &gt;&gt;myfile.txt  Ideas? Does any skill have a global cooldown? I am new to this game, and will try to optimize my game-play as much as possible. I will do this by making macros for my spells and abilities.  Are there global cooldown on spells and abilities in League of Legends?  Since this is important regarding macros to trigger spell and ability combos.  A Global Cooldown(GCD) is a cooldown which affect most if not all abilities, spells or items when using an ability, spell or item.   In most games it is there to prevent macroing/spamming of multiple instant abilities, spells or items, and usually has a set short duration independent of the ability, spell or items normal Cooldown. Calculate $\lim_{n\rightarrow +\infty}\binom{2n} n$ Combinatorial Proof Question: Vandermonde convolution identity I'm really iffy on combinatorial proofs in general and now that there is a sum, it's just confused me even more. Can someone try and walk me through this proof?  $$ \binom{m + n}{r} = \sum_{k=0}^r \binom{m}{k}\binom{n}{r - k} $$ Why does "start winword" work but just "winword" doesn't? Assume Microsoft Office is installed. Consider the following batch file:  REM the following line successfully launches Microsoft Word start winword  REM none of the following commands work to launch Microsoft Word winword winword.exe winword.com winword.bat winword.cmd winword.vbs winword.vbe winword.js winword.jse winword.wsf winword.wsh winword.msc   What is it about the "start" instruction that allows the launching of Microsoft Word using the name "winword"?  My curiosity stems from my interest in the mechanics of the "start" verb - I don't need suggestions on other ways to start Microsoft Office.  Please don't suggest that I add the Microsoft Office directory to my PATH environment variable - I know what that would do.    How is start finding "winword" when cmd cannot find it directly? Integral $\int_{\frac{1}{2}}^1 \frac{\ln x}{\sqrt{x^2+1}}dx$ 'this is' or 'these are'? I have the following sentences.        This is our first arrival in the UK.   These are our first arrival in the UK.      I am not sure, which sentence is correct? Since 17.10 I got familiar with Wayland and I really need the per-monitor-scaling!  How can I start a wayland session after dist-upgrade to Bionic? There is no option in GDM available out-of-the-box.  I do not see what is described as     The Wayland session will still be available, pre-installed How did the Swooping Evil Venom infused rain affect the magical community? Editing old questions How to fill gaps in SLC-Off Landsat 7 ETM+ Images with QGIS? Explanation of the problem:     On 31 May 2003 the Landsat 7 Enhanced Thematic Mapper (ETM+) sensor had a failure of the Scan Line Corrector (SLC). Since that time all Landsat ETM+ images have had wedge-shaped gaps on both sides of each scene, resulting in approximately 22% data loss. These images are available for free download from the USGS GloVis website and are found in the L7 SLC-off collection.   source:   Can I use Qgis instead of proprietary software (ENVI, Erdas....) to fill the gaps? Which one is correct: "Do you wake at seven?" or "Do you wake up at seven?" Someone said to me that the first one is the correct answer, because you use "wake up" to ask someone to stop sleeping. But I think the first one does not sound natural.
