My problem is that when im trying to create a circle on a surface with loop tools' circle tool i end up with tis deformation.  To create the circle i subdivide the surface, delete the inner faces that i dont need and select the loop thats going to be my circle. Then i hit the circle tool and the deformation appears. If i create a seperate object no matter the "scales" or any transformation i apply to it the prosess above will be successfull. Clearly i am missing something but i cant find it. Thanks for your time.  ps. im relatively new to blender so anything at all would help
I have the loop tools addon enabled and when I click the circle button with these verts selected, it just disappears. Why is that?  You can see the selected options in the bottom screenshot. It is worth noting that all the verts are flat on the x plane. Locking in X or not does not change the effect.   When I use the to sphere operator it squishes the verts on Z and stretches super wide on Y, not making a cirlce.    EDIT:  here is the blend
Why is it string.join(list) instead of list.join(string)? I want to make an arena where mobs will fight each other and a player can bet on one side or the other. For example: There are 2 skeletons in dyed armor; red and blue. Each color representing a team. When they spawn I want them to fight each and then when one dies I want it to announce which team is the winner and give the player the "money" due. I'm just not sure how to get the skeletons to attack each other without a player instigating it. I just noticed that the  user edited a ~1 year old  of mine. As you can see, the method call was changed from getSfGuardUser to getGuardUser:    Now I checked the documentation and it seems that the edit is correct.  But how did Community know about that? As far as I know, it is an automated process. Does it have a reference of all possible APIs of languages/frameworks (which seems very unlikely) or is there a routine admins can trigger, for replacing content? Or is it a secret? Recently I have opted for broadband connection which is coming directly cat5 cable with RJ45 port to my laptop. They have provided me with IP address, default Gateway, subnet mask, preferred DNS and alternate DNS server information. Also the username and password.  The Modem model is Beetel 450TC1 which is actually an ADSL+2 Router. The modem has 4 lan port and one RJ11 port (for internet).   Can I use this modem as a wireless hotspot without connecting the RJ45 cable directly to my laptop?  If yes, can anybody help me with that? What is your favorite method to handle errors in Bash?  The best example of handling errors I have found on the web was written by William Shotts, Jr at .   He suggests using the following function for error handling in Bash:  #!/bin/bash  # A slicker error handling routine  # I put a variable in my scripts named PROGNAME which # holds the name of the program being run.  You can get this # value from the first item on the command line ($0).  # Reference: This was copied from &lt;http://www.linuxcommand.org/wss0150.php&gt;  PROGNAME=$(basename $0)  function error_exit {  #   ---------------------------------------------------------------- #   Function for exit due to fatal program error #       Accepts 1 argument: #           string containing descriptive error message #   ----------------------------------------------------------------       echo "${PROGNAME}: ${1:-"Unknown Error"}" 1&gt;&amp;2     exit 1 }  # Example call of the error_exit function.  Note the inclusion # of the LINENO environment variable.  It contains the current # line number.  echo "Example of error with line number and message" error_exit "$LINENO: An error has occurred."   Do you have a better error handling routine that you use in Bash scripts? Can I write the output the of time difference command to a file? Why does Property Set throw StackOverflow exception? I know java and would normally put in getter/setter methods. I am interested in doing it in C# with the following code, but it throws a StackOverflow exception. What am I doing wrong?  Calling Code  c.firstName = "a";   Property Code    public String firstName; {     get     {         return firstName;     }     set     {         firstName = value;     } } Add a legend in an ArcGIS Javascript API I am quite new to Javascript. I have made a html script that includes services I published to ArcGIS for server. It all does exactly what I want and I made it by copying working scripts together and getting help from more experienced scripters. I want to finetune my service by adding a legend. Unfortunately I am not able to create a working script. I have added the parts of my script I assume that are necessary to create my legend. Does anybody see what I am doing wrong?        &lt;script&gt;         var map;         var wmsLayer;         var URL;         var legend;         require(["dojo/query", "esri/map", "esri/layers/WMSLayer", "esri/dijit/Legend", "esri/config", "dojo/domReady!"],         function (query, Map, WMSLayer, Legend, esriConfig) {          esriConfig.defaults.io.proxyUrl = "/proxy/proxy_gcx.php";            map = new Map("map", {               basemap: "topo",               center: [5.5, 52.485],               minZoom: 8,               maxZoom: 13,               zoom: 8,               slider: true           });            wmsLayer = new WMSLayer("URL", {               format: "png",               visibleLayers: ["31", "30", "29", "28"]           });            map.on("layer-add", function (results) {               //add the legend               legend = new Legend({                   map: map,                   layerInfos: [{                       layer: results,                       title: "test"                   }]               }, "legendDiv");               legend.startup();           });             map.addLayer(wmsLayer);       });     &lt;/script&gt; &lt;/head&gt;  &lt;body&gt;     &lt;div id="map"&gt;     &lt;/div&gt;     &lt;div id="legendDiv"&gt;     &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/body&gt;   EDIT: I have edited the code. I am still not done. It does give me a legend on my browser but it says there is no content in there. On my arcgis server manager there is a legend. Quantum entanglement vs classical analogy Consider that we have two balls, one white and one black, and two distant observers A and B with closed eyes. We give the first ball to the observer A and the second ball to the observer B. The observers don't know the exact color (state) of their balls, they know only the probability of having one or another color, until they look at them (measure). If the observer A looks at his ball he will see its color, which is white, so he immediately knows the color of the second ball. Lets call this “classical entanglement”.  My question is: What is the difference between this “classical entanglement” and the quantum entanglement, for example, of two entangled electrons with opposite spins states? Can this analogy be used to explain the quantum entanglement? Why are low-rep users rate-limited when posting questions? I just encountered the following error:  Oops!

How do I check if a list is empty? For example, if passed the following:  a = []   How do I check to see if a is empty? I'm trying to wrap my head around this for a while now. It's a simple question for what I think will be a not so simple answer. How would you go about modeling one leg of this stool? I would like to do it without using sculpt mode because I can't get things quite clean enough. How to trim whitespace from a Bash variable? I have a shell script with this code:  var=`hg st -R "$path"` if [ -n "$var" ]; then     echo $var fi   But the conditional code always executes, because hg st always prints at least one newline character.   Is there a simple way to strip whitespace from $var (like trim() in )?   or   Is there a standard way of dealing with this issue?   I could use  or , but I'd like to think there is a more elegant solution to this problem. When I visit  I see this:     The "Congratulations!

I have the need to synchronize the data in certain Salesforce tables (user, account, opportunity, lead, task, contact, etc.) to a local database. For reasons that I won't go into here, I can't use the streaming API. I want to kick off a local process every X minutes that will:   Go through each of the tables on my list Insert any new records Update any existing records that were updated Delete any records locally that were deleted on the server (either deleted directly or indirectly (e.g. through a foreign key relationship, like when an account is deleted its associated tasks are deleted as well).   Can you please offer advice on what API's might be good to use here, and whether one stands out more than the others? Are there any specific design recommendations that might be useful for achieving this goal? Or is there really no practical difference between what REST vs SOAP can do?  It comes down to what is the easiest to maintain/implement? Is there some other route that might be beneficial to use (example: bulk data load to start out followed by outbound messaging tied to all of the objects in question to get updates/inserts/deletes)?   I am using C#/.net. How do I access previous promise results in a .then() chain? Does C# optimize the concatenation of string literals? For instance, does the compiler know to translate  string s = "test " + "this " + "function";   to  string s = "test this function";   and thus avoid the performance hit with the string concatenation?
