I have heard many (rather most) people, especially in the USA, saying:      I don't know nothing about it.   Is that correct? I always get a weird feeling hearing this and feel the correct one would be saying:     I don't know anything about it.
In contemporary American English usage, I come across sentences like:   I ain’t got no money.  Ain’t no man like him.    Saying ain’t no sounds incorrect to me because it is a double negative.  What is the origin of this particular construction? I wasn’t able to find anything online related to the origins of this incorrect usage.
What is the best way to solve equations like the following:  $9x \equiv 33 \pmod{43}$  The only way I know would be to try all multiples of $43$ and $9$ and compare until I get $33$ for the remainder.  Is there a more efficient way ?   Help would be greatly appreciated! I want to merge an audio file (.wav or .au format) with a video file (.mp4 format).  Please suggest me how to achieve this. I want to merge these file to new .mp4 video file. An ffmpeg command would be very welcome. Calculate first difference by group in R There has been a trend now two persons downvote it then it goes on like that. So let there be down voting but do not display the downvotes till the user votes on it. Else the user reads it with an impression that the question is not good.  Am I missing something? A "friends list" on Stack Overflow would be nice I think it would be nice to have a "friends list" on Stack Overflow. This would allow us to be able to follow the questions and answers that are posted by users that we want to watch/monitor.  I suggest it be implemented in the same fashion as DotNetKicks.com; where you can add someone to your "friends list" without them needing to approve you the way that other social networks do it. It should be completely open for us to add anyone to our "friends list" that we like. Jutifying: irrational + rational = irrational I am not sure how to show this. This is what I tried.   Proposition: If x is rational number and y is an irrational number then x+y is an irrational number.  Logically speaking this is  P=x is rational  Q= Y is irrational  R= x+y is irrational  $P\wedge Q \rightarrow R$  Explanation: What I did  $x=\frac{p}{q}$ P and Q integer  Y cannot be written as the a rational by definition  So therefore  $x+y=\frac{p}{q}+y$  Will not be a rational number as there cannot be a common denominator. What algorithm is used in linear regression? Map a function across a list conditionally How do I reboot a Ubuntu Server from the command line? sudo reboot now never seems to work for me. Because its a server, I don't have a window manager installed, so I can't do it from a GUI (which always seems to work).    I've had the problem for years on different versions of the operating system. It happens in virtual machines and on real metal. The same problem exists with sudo shutdown now, too.  I've lived with it in the past. The difference now is I don't want to just hit the power button because I might lose data. Infinite series $\sum _{n=2}^{\infty } \frac{1}{n \log (n)}$ How do I set an environment variable on the command line and have it appear in commands? "every" vs "each"? How To Set Default Wallpaper As Login Screen Wallpaper [Automatically]? Predict probabilities from Firth logistic regression in R I'm using the logistf package in R to perform Firth logistic regression on an unbalanced dataset. I have a logistf object:  fit = logistf(a~b)   Is there a predict() function like on that's used in the lm class to predict probabilities for future data points? Or do I have to manually input the estimated parameters from the Firth regression. Error while updating debug log trace flag I am trying to update the debug log trace flag for my user but getting the following error     Having an active trace flag triggers debug logging. You have 259 MB of the maximum 250 MB of debug logs. Before you can edit trace flags, delete some debug logs.   I have removed all existing debug logs but it is still throwing the error. Let $A$ and $B$ be $n\times n$ matrices such that $ABAB=0_{n\times n}$.  Can we conclude that  $BABA$ must be  $0_{n\times n}$?   I fail to give a counterexample when $n=2$， so I guess the answer is "yes" Analog voltage level conversion (level shift) I have a joystick that puts out analog voltage somewhere between 1.5V and 3.5V.  I want to transform this range of voltage to control a motor controller that takes analog voltage between 0V and 5V.  How do I level shift and amplify properly? How tipe are this series?  $$\sum_{n=2}^\infty \frac 1 {n^2\ln n}$$ But $$\sum_{n=2}^\infty \frac 1 {n\ln n\ln(\ln n)}$$ I used Condensation Test, but I stack after that. Thanks! Is it correct to use that/which in the relative clause when it is referring to the place as an object pronoun? I was teaching an ESL class and came across this sentence which confused me a lot:  &quot;The Queen Alice is the place that I go to the most&quot; &quot;Isn't that the place which kids under 12 can't enter?&quot;  Are these 2 sentences correct? Shouldn't &quot;where&quot; be used for both sentences when it's referring to the place and replacing the object? How do you reverse a string in place in C or C++?
