I recently posted a question - , and I have tried a lot of things and could not manage to do it. But while I was waiting for an answer, this guy came outta nowhere and marked it duplicate.  Now firstly, the duplicate question link he provided has an answer which doesn't work for me. Sure, the questions do look similar, but they are not. But there is now way I can communicate this to the guy who did this, because there is no facility for pm. And this screws the chance of anybody providing an answer now.  Is there no way I can prevent these self-proclaimed SE 'guru's to at least have the courtesy of asking the OP in a comment whether the new link actually solves the problem or not, and upon OP confirming it, close it, rather than close it on their own? Sure I understand, they are guys with responsibility more than even Batman, but can't they wield it with a little more caution and understanding?
I asked a question regarding a very specific feature of a program and whether or not it works with a larger program.  Within hours someone had marked it with "This question may already have an answer here of a similar question, but not related to my question.  The question I asked IS NOT ADDRESSED in the referred-to question. It's frustrating to spend half an hour putting together an intelligent and specific question, and then have someone mark it as a duplicate (or possible duplicate), which apparently causes people to skip over my question. I haven't received any more responses since the question was flagged.   Two questions:  (1) How do I get this flagging removed and (2) what's the best way to prevent these "helpful" flaggings in the future?
How do you retrieve items from a dictionary in the order that they're inserted? Is it possible to retrieve items from a Python dictionary in the order that they were inserted?

Language Options -> Spell Checking in Windows 10 version 1803 The question Is there any way to automatically scale and put an entire document on an A0 page? The thesis for which this is to be done is available as LaTeX code, as well as PDF output. Of course I know it is possible to do this manually, but I would prefer a LaTeX solution.  A small background Our university introduced a new page limit for master theses. This is not exactly appreciated by the teaching staff as well as students. To make a little joke, we decided to try to arrange an entire thesis (of approximately 200 pages) on a A0 poster, put it up in the hallway, and put a magnification glass next to it with a note saying: &quot;New page limit introduced: 1 page maximum for all upcoming theses!&quot;  The final result As some of you asked for this: below you can see a picture of the final result. (I &quot;professionally removed&quot; some of the sensitiv information.) We presented the poster during my final presentation and everyone liked it a lot! Now, it is on display next to my office and is still attracting some attention once in a while. What would be a good term for continuous testing post-deployment? How do I run a Perl script from within a Perl script? I've got a Perl script that needs to execute another Perl script. This second script can be executed directly on the command line, but I need to execute it from within my first program. I'll need to pass it a few parameters that would normally be passed in when it's run standalone (the first script runs periodically, and executes the second script under a certain set of system conditions).  Preliminary Google searches suggest using backticks or a system() call. Are there any other ways to run it? (I'm guessing yes, since it's Perl we're talking about :P ) Which method is preferred if I need to capture output from the invoked program (and, if possible, pipe that output as it executes to stdout as though the second program were invoked directly)?  (Edit: oh, now SO suggests some related questions.  is close, but not exactly the same as what I'm asking. The second program will likely take an hour or more to run (lots of I/O), so I'm not sure a one-off invocation is the right fit for this.) I'm using a vanity country code top level domain (ccTLD), can I persuade Google to geotarget a different region? Because I'm still living like it's 2008, I run a website with a .in TLD. The website has nothing to do we India and does not target Indian users.  Unfortunately, when I go to Google Webmaster Tools I see that Google have locked my geotargeting status to India:    On the , Google state that:     Sites with country-coded top-level domains (such as .ie) are already associated with a geographic region, in this case Ireland. In this case, you won't be able to specify a geographic location.   This seems implausibly inflexible, so I want to know if there are any sneaky ways of removing auto-geotargeting, or changing it to a more appropriate region? macOS Catalina File Structure: Cannot remove &gt; sudo rmdir /sw rmdir: /sw: Read-only file system  &gt; mount | grep read /dev/disk1s5 on / (apfs, local, read-only, journaled)  &gt; sudo mount -o rw / &gt; mount /dev/disk1s5 on / (apfs, local, journaled) &gt; sudo rmdir /sw rmdir: /sw: Operation not permitted     root /&gt;$ mkdir a root /&gt;$ rmdir a root /&gt;$ rmdir sw &lt;b&gt;rmdir: sw: Operation not permitted&lt;/b&gt; root /&gt;$ rmdir opt &lt;b&gt;rmdir: opt: Operation not permitted&lt;/b&gt; root /&gt;$ rmdir mnt &lt;b&gt;rmdir: mnt: Operation not permitted&lt;/b&gt; root /&gt;$ rmdir home &lt;b&gt;rmdir: home: Operation not permitted&lt;/b&gt;   What exactly is preventing me from removing these directories even with SIP disabled? I would like to obtain a realistic rendering with edges not too sharp and smooth surface. I tried adding a crease of 1, but edges are too sharp. Marking edges sharp is too soft. It seems there are some artifacts in the rounded corners...what can I do? Accidentally hit "toggle full screen", How do I exit? I'm stuck in full screen in the node editor. Escape isn't working, and I have no menus and no idea how to leave except to quit Blender and reopen the program. Redirect, Change URLs or Redirect HTTP to HTTPS in Apache - Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About mod_rewrite Rules but Were Afraid to Ask An investigator wishes to produce a combined analysis of several datasets.  In some datasets there are paired observations for treatment A and B.  In others there are unpaired A and/or B data.  I am looking for a reference for an adaptation of the t-test, or for a likelihood ratio test, for such partially paired data.  I am willing to (for now) to assume normality with equal variance and that the population means for A are the same for each study (and likewise for B). Many years ago I read a book or story where a group of people discover a dark city - maybe on another planet - which appears devoid of life but is in very good condition. As they gradually explore the city one of the them falls into a trap and is cut to pieces by something mechanical. This detail I can remember as it was a pretty gruesome idea. I don't know the ending but my guess is that none of them make it out alive. How can I escape special HTML characters in JSP? How to set the same font size for all tables? When changing fields, should I focus more on describing past research or connecting it to the new area in my statement of purpose? I want to change my field from molecular biophysics to theoretical ecology. While they are basically required some same basic background (physics, math, programming), the rest is quite irrelevant. In my current draft of this part, about a half is about this the problem and the result of the work, another half is for my contribution and what I've learnt. Having said that, should I focus less on describing the work and leave space for the thing that will be useful for the next research?  Below is copy from .     What have you already done?

I used the theorem {a, a+n, a+ 2n, . . .} contains infinitely many primes if gcd(a, n) = 1 but haven't got much progress. Any comment will be helpful!
