&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Basically, the title says it all. I've encountered this issue while reading about http requests in :     The other two verbs, PATCH and DELETE, are designed for updating and   destroying things on the remote server. These requests are less common   than GET and POST since browsers are incapable of sending them   natively, but some web frameworks (including Ruby on Rails) have   clever ways of making it seem like browsers are issuing such requests.   &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Why is there a need to hack around to issue, for example, a PATCH request? Why aren't browsers able to natively perform such kind of things? Am I missing something?  &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I've been searching around for quite a while, but couldn't come up with a clear answer to these questions. Thank you in advance.
I've seen a couple questions around here like , which mentions:     Unfortunately that same browser won't allow me to test HTTP PUT, DELETE, and to a certain degree even HTTP POST.   I've also heard that browsers support only GET and POST, from some other sources like:        However, a few quick tests in Firefox show that sending PUT and DELETE requests works as expected -- the XMLHttpRequest completes successfully, and the request shows up in the server logs with the right method. Is there some aspect to this I'm missing, such as cross-browser compatibility or non-obvious limitations?
Let $G$ be abelian, $H$ and $K$ subgroups of orders $n$, $m$. Then G has subgroup of order $\operatorname{lcm}(n,m)$. Let $G$ be abelian, $H$ and $K$ subgroups of orders $n$, $m$. Then G   has subgroup of order $\operatorname{lcm}(n,m)$.   This is a statement that my lecturer mentioned in my (beginners') Abstract Algebra class. I'm not sure I understand why it's true.  What I have so far: Use the abelian group structure theorem on $\langle H, K\rangle$ (finite group generated by $H$ and $K$). Then $\langle H,K\rangle=C_{a_1}C_{a_2}\dotsm$ and $n, m |\langle H,K\rangle$. Which means it's also true that $\operatorname{lcm}(n,m)|\langle H,K\rangle$. Can I leverage this to say there's a subgroup of order $\operatorname{lcm}(n,m)$? How to revert to tabbed overview in Chrome? I recently updated my Chrome for Android (currently on v68) and noticed that tapping on the box icon (next to address bar) gives a tab list instead of SystemUI type overview that Chrome used to give. See the two images below for comparison.  I know that I can get that same view by swiping downwards from the address bar but I'm habitual of getting it from that box icon.   So what can I do to get back that view from that box without reverting to a previous version of Chrome and without switching to an another browser (unless it is Chrome based)? ibus Avro in Ubuntu 14.04 LTS Permissible for display name to advertise another SE site? Is it permissible to use your SE display name to advertise another SE site or Area 51 Proposal? Is this scrupulous or laudable?   I don't refer to my comment box. For example, could I change 'LePressentiment' to 'Commit to Law SE' to advertise the  proposal? What is the best (idiomatic) way to check the type of a Python variable? I need to know if a variable in Python is a string or a dict.  Is there anything wrong with the following code?  if type(x) == type(str()):     do_something_with_a_string(x) elif type(x) == type(dict()):     do_somethting_with_a_dict(x) else:     raise ValueError   Update: I accepted avisser's answer (though I will change my mind if someone explains why isinstance is preferred over type(x) is).  But thanks to nakedfanatic for reminding me that it's often cleaner to use a dict (as a case statement) than an if/elif/else series.  Let me elaborate on my use case.  If a variable is a string, I need to put it in a list.  If it's a dict, I need a list of the unique values.  Here's what I came up with:  def value_list(x):     cases = {str: lambda t: [t],              dict: lambda t: list(set(t.values()))}     try:         return cases[type(x)](x)     except KeyError:         return None   If isinstance is preferred, how would you write this value_list() function? Dynamic trigger creation from managed package I have a requirement to create triggers dynamically after a managed package is installed. I have read that the tooling API can be used to create triggers dynamically however it cannot be used in production. Is it possible to create triggers from a managed package in an org? I want to be able to create the trigger based on some user inputs. How can I know what speed card to get for my camera?

This is seemingly weird as the default and now permanent color for Badge name text is white. Here's the problem here:     Ahhhh! Now it has invaded the desktop/computer version too! Now seemingly, every version has badges with blue text. Android app has the same issues too! Can the badge color be fixed from blue to white on the mobile version please? How do I print all lines of a file with duplicate values in a certain column Given a file like this:  1,768,12,46576457,7898 1,123,435,134,146 2,345,6756856,12312,1311 5,234,567465,12341,1341 1,3245,4356345,2442,13 9,423,2342,121,463 9,989,342,121,1212   I would like to list all rows (in bash terminal) such that the value in column 1 appears at least twice (in column 1). The result should be  1,768,12,46576457,7898 1,123,435,134,146 1,3245,4356345,2442,13 9,423,2342,121,463 9,989,342,121,1212 How to fix Footnote position at the bottom of the page \footnote[1]{\nameref*{8.1.16} is an अधिकार सूत्र it goes upto \nameref*{8.3.55}} \&amp; अङ्गाधिकार (अङ्गस्य)\footnote[2]{\nameref*{6.4.1} is an अधिकार सूत्र it goes upto \nameref*{7.4.97}}  I am using footnote as shown above. However the footnote appears to be floating and when I don't have much in the page it appears in the middle of the page. I got by so far with \vspace{} but I think there must be a way to position this at the bottom of the page despite whats in the page.

Since we are using the logistic function to transform a linear combination of the input into a non-linear output, how can logistic regression be considered a linear classifier?  Linear regression is just like a neural network without the hidden layer, so why are neural networks considered non-linear classifiers and logistic regression is linear? I'm designing a small module that breaks out a DIP SPI EEPROM to a 2x5 pin header socket(more info here: ). I want to mount the socket on the end of the board, with the pins lying parallel to the board.  I think two 5x1 surface-mount header footprints, on both sides of the board right near the end would do the job. Trouble is, KiCAD doesn't come with such a footprint(if it does, I haven't found it yet). Where might I find one? If one doesn't exist, that's OK; I'll have a shot at making my own.
