link new object to scene with python in 2.8 In Python 2.8, I would like to create copies of the object 'CubeTemplate' but am having no luck.  I have reviewed every blender.stackexchange post on this subject (, ,  and ) but cannot get them to work - either they don't apply or the sample code throws errors (perhaps because it was pre 2.8).  The code below throws this error:       AttributeError: 'bpy_prop_collection' object has no attribute 'link'   for x in range(1, 3):     bpy.data.objects['CubeTemplate'].select_set(True)     bpy.context.view_layer.objects.active = bpy.data.objects['CubeTemplate']     me = bpy.context.object.data # use current object's data     me_copy = me.copy()     ob = bpy.data.objects.new('CubeCopy'+str(x), me_copy)     ob.location = (0, 0, x)     scene = bpy.context.scene     scene.objects.link(ob)     scene.update() Is there a sentence that begins with “them”? Proof that the real numbers are countable: Help with why this is wrong I work at an embedded software company. This morning I found a USB stick in the parking lot in front of the building. With all the stories of "dropped USB stick attacks" in mind, I'm obviously not going to just plug it into my laptop. OTOH, I'm curious to know whether this was actually an attempt to compromise our systems, or it's really just an innocent case of somebody accidentally losing a USB stick. How do I safely inspect the USB stick without risking exposure?  I'm worried not just about malware and crafted file system images; there's also stuff like power surge attacks:.  EDIT: Many of the answers seem to assume I want to keep the drive and use it afterwards. I have no interest in that at all, I know USB sticks are cheap, and that it wouldn't be mine to keep anyway. I only want to know whether this was indeed a semi-targeted attack, partly out of curiosity whether this actually happens in real life and not just in security papers, but also so that I could warn my coworkers.  I want to know how I would figure out whether the stick contains malware. And that's not just a matter of looking at the drive contents and seeing a suspicious autorun.inf or a carefully crafted corrupt file system - I very much also want a way to inspect the firmware. I sort-of expected that there were tools for extracting that and comparing to known-good or known-bad binaries. Evaluate $\lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{1}{n}[(n +1)(n+2) \cdots (n+n)]^{\frac{1}{n}}$ Evaluate $$\lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{1}{n}[(n +1)(n+2) \cdots (n+n)]^{\frac{1}{n}}$$  We can write as $\displaystyle\lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{1}{n}[(n +1)(n+2) \cdots (n+n)]^{\frac{1}{n}}$ $$= \lim_{n \to \infty}\left[\frac{(n +1)(n+2) \cdots (n+n)}{n^n}\right]^{\frac{1}{n}} = \lim_{n \to \infty}\left[(1+\frac{1}{n})(1+\frac{2}{n})\cdots (1+\frac{n}{n})\right]^{\frac{1}{n}}$$  I have used this result if $\{a_n\}$ is a sequence of positive term which is convergent to $l$ and $b_n = (a_1. a_2 . \cdots a_n)^{1/n}$ ,thhen $b_n$ converges to $l$  here $a_n = 2$, but i think it is not right,how to use this result in this question. Give me hint how to proceed . Thank you How do you name your ViewModel classes? I've seen many science popularisation documentaries and read few books (obviously not being scientist myself). I am able to process and understand basic ideas behind most of these. However for general relativity there is this one illustration, which is being used over and over (image from Wikipedia):    I always thought that general relativity gives another way how you can describe gravity. However for this illustration to work, there needs to be another force, pulling the object down (referring to a direction in the attached image). If I put two non-moving objects in the image, what force will pull them together?  So where is my understanding incorrect? Or is general relativity not about explaining gravity and just describes how heavy objects bends spacetime (in that case the analogy is being used not correctly in my opinion)?    UPDATE Thank you for the answers and comments. Namely the XKCD comics is a spot on. I understand that the analogy with bent sheet of fabric pretty bad, but it seems that it can be fixed if you don't bent the fabric, but just distort the drawn grid.   Would you be so kind and answer the second part of the question as well - whether general relativity is explaining gravitational force. To me it seems that it is not (bending of spacetime simply can not affect two non-moving objects). However most of the time it is being presented that it does. Why does Calculate button remain gray in Group Stats Plugin for QGIS? In my case I failed to use  plugin (2.0.30) with QGIS 2.14.11 and 2.18.3 on windows64.  Tested on several datasets: points, polygons, and csv.- But I am not sure what I have missed.    I want to click on this Calculate button. PHP function to build query string from array I'm looking for the name of the PHP function to build a query string from an array of key value pairs. Please note, I am looking for the built in PHP function to do this, not a homebrew one (that's all a google search seems to return). There is one, I just can't remember its name or find it on php.net. IIRC its name isn't that intuitive. How to search something on across multiple sites with a single Google query? I tried   (search term site:stackoverflow.com) OR (search term site:superuser.com) OR (search term site:stackexchange.com) search term site:stackoverflow.com,superuser.com,stackexchange.com search term site:stackoverflow.com site:superuser.com site:stackexchange.com   None of them works. What is the correct way to search? How to set up RAID 1? Identify $P(2014)$ if $P(i)=1/i$ for every positive integer $1\le i\le2013$ What's the right way to represent phone numbers? Can python be used to edit a Text Object? That is, can python code replace, for example, a single letter in a Text Object or insert a letter or string into a Text Object.  Note that I'm not talking about replacing a Text Object with some updated string, such as, object.text = "new string". I'm thinking more about having access to the Text cursor (not the mouse cursor) and positioning it on some letter that I'd like to replace.  In other words, I'd like to have the same capability during BGE play that I have when altering a Text Object in the edit mode. Intuitive explanation of the tower property of conditional expectation I understand how to define conditional expectation and how to prove that it exists.  Further, I think I understand what conditional expectation means intuitively. I can also prove the tower property, that is if $X$ and $Y$ are random variables (or $Y$ a $\sigma$-field) then we have that  $$\mathbb E[X] = \mathbb{E}[\mathbb E [X | Y]].$$  My question is: What is the intuitive meaning of this? It seems quite puzzling to me.  (I could find similar questions but not this one.) Why doesn't my flash fire from the hot shoe trigger? I have a Yongnuo YN-560 III and a pair of RF-603II (C3) triggers. I have a Canon Rebel T5i.   I put one trigger on the hot shoe.  When this trigger is in TX mode I get a blue comm light and I can fire a test flash using the large test button on the trigger. But when I press the shutter button to take a picture, there's no flash.  The trigger and flash are on Channel 1. The trigger on the hot shoe is set to TRX. TX is fine, TRX gives me no flash. The flash and camera are in M mode.  I don't have a trigger on the flash because the Mark III has a built-in trigger The problem seems to be the camera.  The trigger can talk to the flash but the camera is not sending a flash command through the trigger in the hot shoe to the flash.  Grateful for anything you could suggest. Mammals, reptiles, arachnids, insects, etc are all as far as I am aware symmetrical in appearance.  Take a human for instance, make a line from the top of our head right down the middle. However, internally it is not the same. Our organs excluding the kidneys, lungs, reproductive organs, etc are not symmetrically placed in our body.   Why do we not have an even number of each organ so it can be placed symmetrically? If we have a single organ why is it not placed in the middle like the brain or bladder is for instance? Is there some evolutionary advantage that led to this setup? Can houseplants actually improve air quality? UMP of product functor Moving all files to a new computer, my concern is links I'm moving all files to a new computer, via an external hard drive. I am certain that broken links will be a concern. What can I do to fix this? Is there a 'Best Practices' kind of way to prevent this problem beforehand? I have many hundreds of .blend files, and of course, I fear losing them.
