Reading text file with NSString:stringWithContentsOfFile? Could someone with experience in using these exercise typesetting packages please offer a quick compare and contrast of these packages to help me choose?  Packages under consideration are:         Having read briefly the documentation, they all seem to do the same thing generally, so could you please focus on the differences?  Some differences will not be obvious until I've learnt and used all the different packages but I want to better appreciate the differences now, a priori. What to call the attitude of pursuing something What are good advanced LaTeX books? Attempting to compile kernel yields a certification error I'm currently attempting to follow  guide in order to install the 4.5.7 kernel with Grsecurity on my Kali Linux desktop.   I am following that list of instructions verbatim, except for the fact that I'm trying to use Grsecurity's test patch for the 4.5.7 kernel and I'm running Kali Linux instead of straight Debian.  Every time I attempt to compile the kernel, however, I get this error following the line "CC certs/system_keyring.o":    CC      certs/system_keyring.o make[2]: *** No rule to make target 'debian/certs/benh@debian.org.cert.pem', needed by 'certs/x509_certificate_list'.  Stop. Makefile:951: recipe for target 'certs' failed make[1]: *** [certs] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/jc/Downloads/linux-4.5.7' debian/ruleset/targets/common.mk:295: recipe for target 'debian/stamp/build/kernel' failed make: *** [debian/stamp/build/kernel] Error 2   I get this error, as I found out, for any kernel even if I apply no patches or modifications, so it has something to do with the tools I'm using to compile the kernel (apparently a system keychain of some sort). Can someone out there tell me how to fix my OS and compile my kernel?   P.S. Here is the output of cat /proc/version:  Linux version 4.6.0-kali1-amd64 (devel@kali.org) (gcc version 5.4.0 20160609 (Debian 5.4.0-4) ) #1 SMP Debian 4.6.2-2kali2 (2016-06-28) Can I take a sex-toy on plane through UAE? I will be traveling from Australia to Austria, transferring in Abu Dhabi. Is it alright for me to bring a vibrator in the check-in luggage, or are there laws against that?  It is approximately 17cm long. Are there any precautions to take? Use of inequality $1 - \cos (x) \leq x^2 /2$ In  answer the value of $1 - \cos(x)$ has to be evaluated in order to find its upper limit, if it exists.  In particular, $x = 2 \pi / n$. The answer is related to the length of a side of a regular $n$-gon inscribed into a unit-radius circumference; because the perimeter of the $n$-gon is always less than $2 \pi$, the single side must always be less than $2 \pi / n$.  The inequality  $$1 - \cos (x) \leq \displaystyle \frac{x^2}{2}$$ (1)  is used and the proof is completed with   $$2(1 - \cos(x)) \leq (2 \pi / n)^2$$  $$\sqrt{2(1 - \cos(x))} \leq 2 \pi / n$$  But it is well known that the cosine is a function $f(x) \in [-1;1]$, so $1 - \cos (x) \in [0,2]$. By using this information, we would obtain  $$1 - \cos (x) \leq 2$$ (2)  The proof would provide  $$2(1 - \cos(x)) \leq 4$$  $$\sqrt{2(1 - \cos(x))} \leq 2$$  which is a completely different result.   Why in that case it is preferable to use (1) instead of (2)? How to choose when it is convenient to use (1) and when to use (2) in a proof? Differences between no child vs no children a) They have no child. b) They have no children.  Are both a) and b) correct? Though b) seems more common. External hard drive and Recycle Bin behavior When my Seagate external hard drive is plugged in, its $RECYCLE.BIN folder automatically contains all the files contained in the Recycle Bin of the PC. Is it true that actually we don't have any Recycle Bin of external hard drive, rather it is the Recycle Bin of the PC? Why is it so? I checked my  to see whether I can find something similar to the main-site flag-history for chat-flags, but didn't find anything. I recently had the (dis)pleasure of regularly having to deal with a user, that has been deleted multiple times. Whenever they show up (with the same nick-name) again I have to flag them again. I'd like to get an overview of how often I had to do that, and whether my flags were helpful for the moderators. As such I propose the implementation of a flag-history as it is already in place for the main-site for chat-flags, that request moderator intervention. To be completely clear I am not talking about the 10k user flags, which are acted on in a matter of sometimes seconds with instantly visible results, but about moderator attention flags from this menu: Comparing StringBuffer content with equals Problem working fontspec, babel and datetime with cyrillic I have discovered that fontspec with russian babel settings doesn't work with datetime package. I tried to compile such code:  \documentclass[a4paper,11pt]{article} \usepackage[T2A]{fontenc} \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} \usepackage[main=russian,english]{babel} \usepackage{datetime} \usepackage[cm-default]{fontspec}  \begin{document} \today \end{document}   with a xelatex and got an error: Command \cyri unavailable in encoding EU1.  Is there any way to handle it?  UPDATE: I really bungle with charset in XeLateX. Thanks to egreg. I have removed fontenc and inputenc and used some cyrillic font, so my MWE now looks this way:  \documentclass[a4paper,11pt]{article} \usepackage[main=russian,english]{babel} \usepackage{fontspec} \setromanfont{PT Sans} \usepackage{datetime}  \begin{document} \today \end{document}   and I've got another error, if I used russian as a main language in babel: Undefined control sequence. \\monthnamerussian ...cyrm \cyra \cyrya \or \cyri  \cyryu \cyrn \cyrya \or \c...  Is it still because of XeLaTeX? I'm looking to schedule 16 players to play a round robin tournament with each other such that there are 4 players at each table.  I'd like for each player to play with each other player exactly once over the course of 5 rounds.  I just took a look at this post:  , and I was wondering if anyone knows if the case n=m=4 has been solved, and if so what that solution is. Book covering differential geometry and topology for physics I'm interested in learning how to use geometry and topology in physics. Could anyone recommend a book that covers these topics, preferably with some proofs, physical applications, and emphasis on geometrical intuition? I've taken an introductory course in real analysis but no other higher math. What is approximate error of Pythagorean Theorem vs. Haversine Formula in measuring distances on sphere at various scales? Many people when first trying to calculate distances between two longitude / latitude pairs  ask if Pythagorean theorem works as an appropriate distance function.  Most often people answer "no, the Pythagorean theorem only works on a 2D Euclidean plane." Rarely, however, do people mention the effect of scale and location on the sphere on how inaccurate the Pythagorean theorem is.  The basic idea being at very small scales, the surface of a sphere looks very much like a plane. At very large scales, it distances along the surface are more curved and therefore the difference between the incorrect Pythagorean Theorem and the correct Haversine Formula is greater.  Does anyone know a formula or rule of thumb that tells you the difference between the two distance measures based on the scale of the distance you are trying to measure?   I think having this explicitly would help in:   explaining why the Pythagorean Theorem isn't perfect; and in letting people who are looking for more "rough" distances know when Pythagoras actually will serve their purposes. how to extend a basis I've read before that, by the Principle of Explosion, if a theory is inconsistent, then absolutely any statement can be proven within it.  Obviously, there are statements which are independent of ZFC (Continuum Hypothesis, etc). It seems to me that this proves that ZFC is incomplete. Why does it not then follow that ZFC is consistent? It seems to me that we could say "Assume ZFC is inconsistent. Then the the Continuum Hypothesis is provable in ZFC. But the Continuum Hypothesis is neither provable nor disprovable in ZFC. Therefore ZFC is consistent."  What am I missing here? Adding Basemaps from Google or Bing in QGIS Why don't Death Eaters always use Avada Kedavra?

Short Story: Army investigates barrier and house I am trying to identify the author and title of a short story with the following plot.  A scientist narrates a story where s/he is called in to help the army investigate an unexplained phenomena.  The army has cordoned off an area where a prairie home has appeared. It is surrounded by a dome that allows things to enter but not to leave. Briefing the scientist, the Army explains that it appears that it is a family of five with mother, father, son, daughter, and grandfather. They look completely normal and live an idyllic life of the 40s or 50s.  They continue to send probes in to investigate the dome and its proprieties. Not sure if this a time anomaly or another dimension.  An Army lieutenant, so enamored by their life runs through the barrier to join the family. The Family faces split into an unnaturally wide smile full of sharp teeth runs towards him and tears him to pieces &amp; eats him. The grandfather then looks up acts as if he can see the forces gathered outside the barrier. He then retrieves a book and it looks as if he reads it out loud and the house and barrier disappear. The narrator worries that the aliens will return.
