Is 'answerer' acceptable as a word?
"Answerer" and "asker"
Add desktop notifications for Chrome or Firefox The the title is self explanatory, I guess.  Why can two (or more) electric  never cross? I want to better understand why the construction something + [adjective] makes grammatical sense. Background: I was recently reading a Washington Post article and came across the following sentence.  So if you fall in that category, [the movie] feels more like magic than repetitive.  (Note: I've copied the relevant spoiler-free sentence above; following the link to the article will open you up to movie spoilers! ) The phrase more like magic than repetitive struck me as odd, presumably because it was non-parallel (more like [noun] than [adjective]). I would have expected &quot;...more like magic than something repetitive.&quot; (Actually, that needs to be rewritten to flow better, but the point is that at least it appears to be grammatical.) Thus, one would have the noun phrase &quot;something repetitive,&quot; of the form &quot;[noun] [adjective].&quot; This got me to thinking about the use of adjectives after nouns. There is a great Stack Exchange article  that involves the characteristics of the adjective that indicate it should come after the noun. But I haven't been able to find examples of how the word &quot;something&quot; requires a postponed adjective. Consider the following sentences:  I want to buy something red. I am looking for something sweet to eat.  You cannot say:  *I want to buy red something. *I am looking for sweet something to eat.  But you can say:  I want to buy something (that is) red. I am looking for something (that is) sweet to eat.  So, my question:  Do the above examples mean that the &quot;something [adjective]&quot; construction is an example of the ellipsis of &quot;that is&quot;?  Is there something special about the word &quot;something&quot; that requires the postponed adjective? Note that I am NOT looking for details about adjectives that are postponed; I'm interested in the word that precedes the adjective (either &quot;something&quot; or similar words).   By the way, I am not interested in the following constructions, which are different:  I want to paint the house red. I tried to build the brick house taller.  Thanks in advance! How to apply multiple styles in WPF In WPF, how would I apply multiple styles to a FrameworkElement?  For instance, I have a control which already has a style.  I also have a separate style which I would like to add to it without blowing away the first one.  The styles have different TargetTypes, so I can't just extend one with the other. How do I enable or disable the global application menu? A lot of my scripts stopped working after installing Ubuntu 15.10 and I have trouble remembering this new name as I was used to ethx and wlanx for years. Is there a reason for this change? Do I have to get used to this or can I just rename it and go back to good old eth0?  $ ifconfig  enp0s25   Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 77:5a:5e:a6:86:d5         inet addr:192.168.31.239  Bcast:192.168.31.255  Mask:255.255.255.0       inet6 addr: fe80::725a:b6ff:fea6:86d7/64 Scope:Link       UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1       RX packets:4833 errors:1332 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:666       TX packets:5589 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0       collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000        RX bytes:3266446 (3.2 MB)  TX bytes:1046654 (1.0 MB)       Interrupt:20 Memory:d3500000-d3520000 I have to try to add a field called 'Name' to a bunch of different feature classes using python, and then access the name of the feature class to fill in the field.

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? Adjust sound notification per chat room At the top right of a chat room, just above the room title, there is a speaker icon. Clicking on this icon brings up the settings for "Sound notifications":    Currently, a change to this setting affects all chat rooms. Selecting "visible room" means that an audio notification is given for any activity in any room that is currently open in a browser tab (regardless of whether that is the active tab).  It would be useful to be able to adjust audio notification settings for individual rooms. For example, The Nineteenth Byte is quite a busy room, so I'd like to be notified only when mentioned. The Cornell Box is a much quieter room, and I'd like to be notified any time there is activity regardless of whether I am mentioned. Currently I can set all rooms to notify me of any activity, or I can set all rooms to notify me only when mentioned, but I can't choose a different setting for each room.  This would also be particularly useful when setting up a room for a very specific purpose, such as discussion of a particular question. What are the basics of commands in Minecraft Java Edition?

The following is an excerpt from a New York Times article of April 6.     “Tonight, I ordered a targeted military strike on the air base in Syria from where the chemical attack was launched,” Mr. Trump said in remarks at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida. “It is in this vital national security interest of the United States to prevent and deter the spread and use of deadly chemical weapons.”    Shouldn't that "from where" be either "from which" or else just "where" without "from?" Why lipophilic molecules can pass phospholipid bilayer, in spite of 2 hydrophilic layers? It is commonly told that, hydrophobic/ lipophilic/ nonpolar molecules can quite easily pass phospholipid bilayer, and hydrophilic (polar or ionic) molecules can't pass (when no protein aid that); because hydrophobic nature of the lipid.  But in the same logic, hydrophobic molecules shouldn't pass through the bilayer. Because there are 2 hydrophilic layers in the membrane. i.e.      A and A' .  Then how the hydrophobic molecules can pass through A and A'?   I guess, it is due to thin diameter of A and A' . Is that? Evaluate $\lim\limits_{n\to\infty}\frac{\sum_{k=1}^n k^m}{n^{m+1}}$ Is there a specific purpose in terms of efficiency or functionality why the k-means algorithm does not use for example cosine (dis)similarity as a distance metric, but can only use the Euclidean norm? In general, will K-means method comply and be correct when other distances than Euclidean are considered or used?  [Addition by @ttnphns. The question is two-fold. "(Non)Euclidean distance" may concern distance between two data points or distance between a data point and a cluster centre. Both ways have been attempted to address in the answers so far.] Can houseplants actually improve air quality? A matrix inside a table Possible Duplicate:          I am trying to insert a matrix inside a table, and I am looking for a good way to do this. Usually when I write matrices in equations, I use array environment, so I naively defined an array inside tabular, and it sort of works. The only problem is that the matrix itself seems to take up a huge amount of space inside the cell. An example is   \begin{tabular}{|c|c|} \hline \textbf{EKF} &amp; \textbf{UKF}\\ \hline $Q = \left[ \begin{array}{cc} 0.1 &amp; 0 \\ 0 &amp; 0.1 \end{array}\right]$ &amp; $Q = left[ \begin{array}{cc} 0.01 &amp; 0 \\ 0 &amp; 0.01  \end{array}\right]$\\ \hline $R = 5 \times 10^{-3}$ &amp; $R = 5 \times 10^{-5}$ \\ \hline \end{tabular}   Is there any way to increase the spacing in the cell containing the matrix without that matrix taking up all the space? I'd like to play Dragon Age Inquision in english instead of the language of my operating system, but it seems to default to that and I can't find a way to change it.

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.
