Material Opacity in viewport? I'd like to do motion graphics type work in blender and it would be really helpful if I could see the results of keyframing material opacity to cut items in and out of view.  Blender internal is sufficient, using shadeless materials.  I could have swore there used to be something in view options.  Any ideas? Biblatex handling of Dutch "van" prefix This question has been posed in many different variants, but not exactly as I ask here, so please do not consider this as a duplicate.  I use biblatex with the option useprefix. I would like to have the following automatic behavior:   Name prefixes are rendered before the last name in the bibliography, but always in lower case. The name prefixes are ignored for the sake of sorting of the bibliography. In running text, the name prefix is rendered with a capital letter at the beginning of a sentence, and lower case elsewhere (possible using \Textcite vs. \textcite).   To achieve this, I can have three author fields for each concerned entry, with the following scheme:  author = { {v}an Dijk, A.} shortauthor = { van Dijk, A.} sortname = {Dijk, A. van}   Is there a simple way to automate this? Ideally, such a way could also allow for easy changing of the system. Wouldn't multiple filters in a convolutional layer learn the same parameter during training? Based from what I have learned, we use multiple filters in a Conv Layer of a CNN to learn different feature detectors. But since these filters are applied similarly (i.e. slided and multiplied to regions of the input), wouldn't they just learn the same parameters during training? Hence the use of multiple filters would be redundant? Dirac Delta or Dirac delta function? How to tell what method was used to log in (Password vs. Keyfile) from the bashrc Implications and Ordinary language What is wrong with the following "proof" that $e=1$? Let's analyze this expression   $\lim_\limits{n\rightarrow\infty} (1+\frac{1}{n})^n$  It's the definition of $e$ which, as we know is not equal to $1$. So what is wrong with the following "logic":  As $\lim_\limits{n\rightarrow\infty}(a_{n}b_{n}) = \lim_\limits{n\rightarrow\infty}(a_{n})\times\lim_\limits{n\rightarrow\infty}(b_{n}) $ and $\lim_\limits{n\rightarrow\infty}(1+\frac{1}{n}) = 1$, we can say that $\lim_\limits{n\rightarrow\infty} (1+\frac{1}{n})^n=1^n$, which is equal to $1$.  I know something's wrong there, but the question is - what? How can top principal components retain the predictive power on a dependent variable (or even lead to better predictions)? Suppose I am running a regression $Y \sim X$. Why by selecting top $k$ principle components of $X$, does the model retain its predictive power on $Y$?   I understand that from dimensionality-reduction/feature-selection point of view, if $v_1, v_2, ... v_k$ are the eigenvectors of covariance matrix of $X$ with top $k$ eigenvalues, then $Xv_1, Xv_2 ... Xv_k$ are top $k$ principal components with maximum variances. We can thereby reduce the number of features to $k$ and retain most of the predictive power, as I understand it.   But why do top $k$ components retain the predictive power on $Y$?   If we talk about a general OLS $Y \sim Z$, there is no reason to suggest that if feature $Z_i$ has maximum variance, then $Z_i$ has the most predictive power on $Y$.   Update after seeing comments: I guess I have seen tons of examples of using PCA for dimensionality reduction. I have been assuming that means the dimensions we are left with have the most predictive power. Otherwise what's the point of dimensionality reduction? What does a type followed by _t (underscore-t) represent? This seems like a simple question, but I can't find it with the Stack Overflow search or Google. What does a type followed by a _t mean? Such as  int_t anInt;   I see it a lot in C code meant to deal closely with hardware—I can't help but think that they're related. I am learning Linux and I was trying the gzip command. I tried it on a folder which has a hierarchy like  Personal/Folder1/file1.amr Personal/Folder2/file2.amr Personal/Folder3/file3.amr Personal/Folder4/file4.amr   I ran     "gzip -r Personal" and now its like  Personal/Folder1/file1.amr.gz Personal/Folder2/file2.amr.gz Personal/Folder3/file3.amr.gz Personal/Folder4/file4.amr.gz   How do I go back? I have noticed that the smackpacks say on the package that the package is meant for a 5 gal. batch and that you should pour the pack directly into the wort.   On the otherhand - nearly everyone tells me to always make a starter.   Is this just because making a starter never hurts or does the package contain wrong instructions?   I would have guessed that the yeast producers would tell you on the package if you should need some extra steps to get a good product. I was doing some re-tagging and I noticed that the automatically generated revision comment says that I edited the post body where I only edited the tags. What to look for in a starter-level off-camera flash? I have zero experience with flash and want to learn how to use it from zero, for example by following the Strobist blog.  What are the absolutely necessary specifications I should look for when shopping for a flash, and can I find something in a price range less than $200.00?  My camera is a Nikon DSLR. Rubbing eggplants in salt Brand new laptop, two years in storage, will the battery be ok? I have an opportunity to buy a brand new (sealed box) EliteBook 8470p laptop for a good price.  The date of manufacture goes back to around March 2013, which is bang on two years ago.  Given that it's been two years, what state will the supplied Lithium-Ion battery be in? Still usable? How do I perform an IF...THEN in an SQL SELECT statement?  For example:  SELECT IF(Obsolete = 'N' OR InStock = 'Y' ? 1 : 0) AS Saleable, * FROM Product SIB 2009, Problem #2 Let $f(x)$ be a continuous function, whose first and second derivatives are continuous on $[0,2π]$ and $f&#39;&#39;(x)≥0\:\:∀\:x∈[0,2π]$. Show that$$ \int _0^{2\pi} f(x) \cos x dx \ge 0$$ Compare two dates with JavaScript Can someone suggest a way to compare the values of two dates greater than, less than, and not in the past using JavaScript? The values will be coming from text boxes. If a group mod its commutator subgroup is cyclic, then the group is abelian? Let $G$ be a group and let $G'$ denotes its commutator subgroup, that is the group generated by all elements of the form $g^{-1}h^{-1}gh$.  Is the following true:      If $G/G'$ is cyclic, then G is abelian.   Recall that the claim is true for the $G$ modulo the center of $G$.  See $A$ is normal and nilpotent, show $A=0$ Given a matrix $A \in R^{n \times n}$ which is normal ($AA^H=A^HA$ where $A^H$ is hermitian of $A$) and nilpotent ($A^k=0$ for some $k$). Now we need to show that $A=0$. (This is essentially exercise 5(b) in sec. 80 on p.162 of Paul R. Halmos' Finite-Dimensional Vector Spaces.) I tried to show in the following way, we know that, $AA^H=A^HA$ pre-multiply by $A^{k-1}\implies A^kA^H=A^{k-1}A^HA$ Now, we have $0 = A^{k-1}A^HA$, since $A$ nilpotent. I am not sure how to proceed from here to show $A=0$. Can someone help me in this problem?
