My Minecraft app now only has the option of "play" and there is no "play on realms" to be found!  I downloaded - and paid for - the multiplayer app, but there doesn't seem to be a way to get to any realms on that app either. QGIS corrupting shapefiles? I'm hoping someone out there might be able to help or suggest some tests to try and resolve some very odd QGIS behaviour of late...  Our core GIS team of 4 users has been testing v2.10 prior to roll-out for the remainder of the organization.  In the past couple of weeks we have had some very odd shapefile corruption things happening and are yet to isolate or identify a potential cause...  These have included:   Editing one line (using the scissor tool to split into two records) and having the resulting records attributes completely replaced by attributes from another geometry no-where near the edited row (spatially or in the attribute dbf) Line geometries completely disappear while their attributes get associated with an unrelated geometry  Line geometry get partially deleted and replaced with a vertice in infinity (line visually extends beyond the dataset and no matter how far zoomed out you never see the end)   The above is happening in a polyline layer, that we did discover has some multi-line geometries..? Perhaps this is impacting... but never saw this issue with v2.8 and the same layer. The layer has undergone MANY save-as's in the past week and many verify geometry checks as we thought invalid geometry may have been the cause...  In another separate layer yesterday, to a separate user (me) i created a layer with approx 30 polygons... adding, deleting some and doing some 'avoid intersection' to remove overlaps. Layer looks fine in qgis, saved and also a save-as to a completely new file but when i load into ArcGIS online (and later is ArcMap as a test) some of the overlaps and deleted objects are still there. Close and reopen qgis,  reopen the file and they are definitely not.  The project was created in v2.8 that i was editing in (but had been saved in 2.10).  Does anyone have any ideas/suggestions.  We do still have 2.8 installed as well as 2.10? We have never encountered issues like this when testing other new qgis versions while still running old ones? Please do not "lie" that the Community user "modified" the question If the Community user bumps a question, It says It has modified it:    However, It did not really modify the question, It rather just visited it. The word "modified" is a bit unfortunate IMHO because it suggests that something changed in the question or its answers, which is not true. I therefore suggest that we look for another word which would be more descriptive and less confusing. Some come to my (and others') mind:   visited, poked, bumped, promoted, dredged up, brought up, ...   (Actually, "Bumped" is even officially used now:  and .)  I'm not a native speaker and maybe someone find a better word. To me, visited sounds the best, but that may be only me. It makes sense, too, since Community really just visits the questions, with the site-effect of them getting bumped. It shouldn't confuse anybody.  Actually, it can be harmful in some sense, since , and it is interesting to know that this has happened, so that more people can check that the edit makes sense. You therefore can't simply ignore all "edited by Community" messages. (Thanks to Monica Cellio for pointing it out.)  (Remark: I know this has been questioned before (    ) but I think it has never been requested to change the action title to something more descriptive. If I'm wrong, I apologize.) (The "lying" it the question title is meant as a sarcasm) Why square the difference instead of taking the absolute value in standard deviation? In the definition of standard deviation, why do we have to square the difference from the mean to get the mean (E) and take the square root back at the end? Can't we just simply take the absolute value of the difference instead and get the expected value (mean) of those, and wouldn't that also show the variation of the data? The number is going to be different from square method (the absolute-value method will be smaller), but it should still show the spread of data. Anybody know why we take this square approach as a standard?  The definition of standard deviation:  $\sigma = \sqrt{E\left[\left(X - \mu\right)^2\right]}.$   Can't we just take the absolute value instead and still be a good measurement?  $\sigma = E\left[|X - \mu|\right]$ Here's a situation that came up during a back lot league softball game a few weeks ago. (Note: While our league has some of its own rules we try to defer to MLB rules in all causes that aren't specifically addressed.)  There is a runner on second (R2) and a runner on first, with no outs. A ground ball is hit to the third baseman (3B) who cleanly fields the ball away from third base. Seeing that R2 is running toward him, 3B does not go to third and instead waits to tag the incoming R2. R2, in an attempt to buy some time for the other runners, stops advancing to third base. As soon as R2 stops, 3B declares R2 is out (without making a tag) and throws the ball to first to make a play.  During the discussion after the play, the 3B claimed that any player advancing on a force cannot stop moving toward their next bag or they are automatically out (the same way a runner leaving the baseline to avoid a tag is considered out). Our rules don't have a specific clause that addresses this situation and I couldn't find anything in official MLB rules (though it's possible I missed something, as 3B claims it is an MLB rule).  So, is 3B’s claim correct? That if a runner who is forced to advance to their next base stops (in particular to avoid/delay a tag) they are automatically out? When abstract logic circuits get translated to the electrical equivilant, how are conversions from 0 to 1 handled? I've searched around and there's lots of good information out there, but I'm a bit of a n00b when it comes to the precise meanings of words like current, voltage, amplify, resistor, diode etc. So what at first presents itself as a simple explanation quickly turns into a wikipedia tabfest of ever increasing complexity. With that in mind please forgive my probably inaccurate use of these terms in this post.  The basic problem for me is that gates on a logic circuit appear to be creating power from nothing, which is impossible. For example imagine two NOT gates connected in sequence: To my uninitiated mind what seems to be happening is that the first NOT gate cuts the power to the second NOT gate, which responds by magically conjuring new power out of thin air and sending it on it's way. The only explanation I can come up with feels a bit redundant and absurd (That every single gate on the diagram is implied to be directly connected to a power source)  The closest I've come to an answer is something to do with changing the "signal" from "high" to "low" but again, I'm not familiar enough with the language. It still suffers from the same problem, if you've got a low signal how is it that a NOT gate can turn it into a high one without directly drawing on a power source?  To wrap up and present the question in all it's rookie glory: How do logic gates physically convert 0 to 1 without violating the law of conservation of energy? Why are drivers and firmwares almost always written in C or ASM and not C++? How did this question get a 'linked' question that isn't mentioned in comments or answers? Looking at  which has been closed as a duplicate (quite right), we see three 'linked' questions in the sidebar; however, only two of those questions are given as duplicate-close-targets.  which to my mind is the actual 'exact duplicate', isn't mentioned anywhere else except in the 'linked questions' sidebar itself! The  says:  The Linked sidebar... gathers up any links to this question provided by the community via comments, answers, or questions  So how did  get into the linked questions sidebar of ? (There's no explicit link in the other direction, in case you were wondering.) I have installed a vlc in centos 6.5. I want to run it as root. But I get the following error,      "VLC is not supposed to be run as root. Sorry. If you need to use   real-time priorities and/or privileged TCP ports you can use   vlc-wrapper (make sure it is Set-UID root and cannot be run by   non-trusted users first)." What is mirror lockup and what is its primary function? My SLR is equipped with the mirror lockup function. What does it do, and when would I employ such a feature? What do you call an 'unselfish' action made with a selfish reason? There are many examples of this, and I'd like to give a few:   A person who puts a lot of effort to help the community and earns reputation points. But that reputation is the motivation behind helping the community, not because they really want to. A student approaches a professor, and helps them in their teaching and doing research in order to have a good LOR (letter of recommendation). To a SEO, the content of the website must be good (well, this one is a little tricky, but you get the spirit.)   I'm not saying that the reputation/LOR/high-ranked is not deserved. It is. I just want to focus more on the selfish reason(s) behind that.  Any kind of answer can be accepted: single word, phrase, proverb or idiom. Parsing JSON with Unix tools Alright so I've seen some postings about loop cuts and done some research. I am very new to blender and modeling overall. I am trying to loop cut this concrete barrier. Now I'm following a tutorial and kind of did my own thing in some areas. I cleaned it up following some instructions in another answer here on stack exchange.  I can't for the life of me figure out why I can loop cut around the whole bottom:   ...but not the whole middle:   I see this marked as answered by another question. That question refers to ngons and inside faces. Now once again I'm totally new to this. I looked on the inside. I don't believe I have inside faces or any ngons by the terms I've read online in my research.  Here is a wireframe picture and the inside view:     Maybe I'm missing something the answers on other posts are saying. If so and you know what it is I'd be very appreciative of what it is. In many C/C++ macros I'm seeing the code of the macro wrapped in what seems like a meaningless do while loop.  Here are examples.  #define FOO(X) do { f(X); g(X); } while (0) #define FOO(X) if (1) { f(X); g(X); } else   I can't see what the do while is doing.  Why not just write this without it?  #define FOO(X) f(X); g(X) How to check if file exists on FTP before FtpWebRequest Why are image thumbnails cropped proportionally (not per dimensions)? For some reason WordPress is ignoring my thumbnail sizes and keeping thumbnails cropped proportionately instead of specific dimensions. Here is what I have in functions.php:  add_image_size( 'main-thumbnail', 728, 410, true );   and in content.php:  &lt;div class="thumbnail"&gt;     &lt;a href="&lt;?php the_permalink(); ?&gt;"&gt;        &lt;?php the_post_thumbnail( 'main-thumbnail' ); ?&gt;     &lt;/a&gt; &lt;/div&gt;   I added these two things and regenerated my images with the  plugin, but it doesn't seem to matter. The images don't change.  For some reason WordPress isn't recognizing the hard crop and is keeping the images proportional, so some of my images are way taller than 410 pixels. Why is this? An instructor has an exam of 5 questions and a question bank of 50 questions. Are there $50\choose 5$ or $(50)_5$ possible exams? Where $(50)_5 = 50! / 45! $ and $50\choose 5$ $= 50!/(5!45!)$   I've narrowed it down to these two possibilities (though even these may be wrong), but I think I'm confusing myself as to which one I use. Can anyone suggest a good way of thinking of this problem that will make it apparent whether I need use use the falling factorial or the binary coefficient?   Edit: thank you for all the answers! Indeed, I meant $50!/45$ as the falling factorial. Also, the question doesn't specify whether it was meant to be ordered or unordered, but I think I understand my confusion now!

Assume $0 &lt; a_0 \leq a_1 \leq \cdots \leq a_n$, show that equation   $$ p_n(z) = a_0 z^n + a_1 z^{n-1} + \cdots + a_{n-1} z + a_n = 0 $$   does not have root in $|z| &lt; 1$. Here $z$ is complex.   I started by considering the case in which $n = 2$, and tried to use the triangle inequality, while no progress was made. Any hints will be appreciated.
