Is there any way to "fix this" Suppose there are two users that have commented on an answer. Both have the same user name, and I want to reply to one of them. How can I do this?  It appears that, under the current system, there is no way for me to do this. Specifically, from , I see that:     4. Matching is performed in reverse chronological order, so if five people named John are participating, @john will match the most recent John   So, consider this a request to add this feature using an -n suffix or something similar; e.g. @john-2 could be used to reply to the second John from the top.  Update Thanks to  for nice answer of @name(userid) based auto-complete suggestion which has no loophole. It involves no counting from top &amp; has no consequences when a comment is deleted. But, I think @name(userid) should be used directly in comment as all form inputs at SE are text (nothing embedded).  Now, I'm trying to finalize it based on it: The system should allow optional @name(userid) format for reply. Provided userid with this format, system should ignore name. And, in the situation of duplicate name based confusion, system should demand this format as mandatory to submit comment.  How to get userid? In case of duplicate name based confusion, system should append (userid) in hypertext to their profile. It'd work for mobile version too. On full version, for easy fill-up, a hover reply icon would be fine (like hover vote up icon). Upon clicking it, system should fill @name(userid) in comment text box.  From reply reader side: Multiple Johns could be confused even if they didn't come from notification (because nobody remembers his/her own userid). So, highlight the background of comments which are replied to them. "Timed Out" error when trying to join server Changing colors of lightning-button Limit Decimal Places in Android EditText Irreducibles are prime in a UFD I need a two word phrase to refer to a community of people (academia + non-academia) who come together to share/exchange their knowledge/ideas openly on topics of their interests/ specializations.  I would appreciate the use of small and easier/common words for the phrase. Single words are also acceptable. Feel free to throw out your creative ideas and newly invented phrases. Setup or "set up"? The word setup (as a noun), I feel, has become an acceptable part of the English language, at least insofar as technical manuals or computer textbooks are concerned. However I find that the word is used very often in verb form like so:     "You can setup the program quite easily ..."   when in fact my understanding is that the actual sentence should be:     "You can set up the program quite easily ..."   I would like to know if setup can be used as a verb. The situation seems be very similar to the word output (as a noun). Output is a purely technical word and its use is restricted solely to technical texts or at least in a technical context within non-technical books. However it is also used in verb form now like so:     "The system will output the signal ..."   I would be very grateful if this question is answered. Thank you Is there local file manipulation that's been done with JavaScript? I'm looking for a solution that can be accomplished with no install footprint like requiring .  Specifically, I'd like to read the contents from a file and write those contents to another file. At this point I'm not worried about gaining permissions and am just assuming I already have full permissions to these files. Is there a reason the British omit the article when they "go to hospital"? Why do British speakers omit the article in constructions like "go to hospital" or "go on holiday"? Pretty much all American speakers would rephrase those as "go to the hospital" and "go on a holiday", I think. Is there any good reason, or forgotten sense behind those words that might explain why the articles are ommitted?  Are there other common constructions other than those two that the British use that drop the article?  EDIT: I just realized per Kosmonaut's comment that Americans do much the same thing with a few nouns, so this isn't all that special.   Do grammaticists designate nouns that can have their article dropped with anything, i.e. do they have anything in common? Colorizing your terminal and shell environment? I spend most of my time working in Unix environments and using terminal emulators. I try to use color on the command line, because color makes the output more useful and intuitive.  What options exist to add color to my terminal environment? What tricks do you use? What pitfalls have you encountered?  Unfortunately, support for color varies depending on terminal type, OS, TERM setting, utility, buggy implementations, etc.  Here are some tips from my setup, after a lot of experimentation:   I tend to set TERM=xterm-color, which is supported on most hosts (but not all). I work on a number of different hosts, different OS versions, etc. I use everything from macOS X, Ubuntu Linux, RHEL/CentOS/Scientific Linux and FreeBSD. I'm trying to keep things simple and generic, if possible. I do a bunch of work using GNU screen, which adds another layer of fun. Many OSs set things like dircolors and by default, and I don't want to modify this on a hundred different hosts. So I try to stick with the defaults. Instead, I tweak my terminal's color configuration. Use color for some  (ls, grep, less, vim) and the . These commands seem to use the standard "". For example:  alias less='less --RAW-CONTROL-CHARS' export LS_OPTS='--color=auto' alias ls='ls ${LS_OPTS}'    I'll post my .bashrc and answer my own question Jeopardy Style. I am trying to recall the name of a story I read when I was fairly young (maybe 20 years ago, but not sure how old the story is).    What I remember: A man acquires a set of creatures that he keeps in his house, I think in an aquarium.  They evolve over time, quickly, and think of him as their benevolent god. They build statues in his likeness.   Then, I believe some sort of accident happens, and the statues they build become a little less benevolent, which bothers him.  This pattern continues on with his cruelty increasing and their depiction of him becoming more cruel. I installed Ubuntu (twice actually) onto the same drive. I wanted to 'try again' since one of them didn't install correctly and the other installed differently, but it worked.   I was getting frustrated with the GRUB menu because it was really sloppy (There were two Windows options - one with the Windows bootloader to go into Ubuntu, and two different versions of Ubuntu from the first install for some reason and memtest, etc.).  In my attempts at getting rid Ubuntu to do a fresh installation, I went ahead and deleted the partitions that weren't swap or main via Windows 7. As I said, I am a noob.  Now, even though I though I completely got rid of Ubuntu, including the GRUB menu, when I boot my PC I am brought directly to GRUB Rescue. And from what I've found from other forums, GRUB rescue isn't even completely functional for me (it doesn't recognize any commands that it should support besides ls. It also returns unknown filesystem for any partition I try to view or boot.)  Is there any way that I can boot straight into Windows? I fear I may have gone about deleting those partitions in the wrong way. If so, what are my options? Where is the ideal place to ask a MATLAB question? How can I install Sun/Oracle's proprietary Java JDK 6/7/8 or JRE? Is there a shorter alternative for "Enjoy your meal"? The French have "Bon appetit".

What restrictions are there and how does it vary across realizations (efficiency of data storage, ease of reading and writing, etc)? I'm running tests of a variable-size-and-contents test set. Data files are added and removed frequently. I'm looking for an automated way of gathering a file list.  All files are in subdirectories of D; I need the full directory and name added to a text file. However, I only need those files that have a "paired" file, which has the same filename but a different extension (so... different filename, but in a structured way). So, if there is a MyFileName.A and MyFileName.B, then I want D/.../MyFileName added to the file list.  There are .A files without .B files, but no .B files without .A files. If a .A has a .B file, then both files are in the same directory.   Any advice?
