Some journals do not require article submissions to be in any particular format. Would it still be better to try and copy that journals usual format, or use a generic draft format? Would you as an editor or a reviewer prefer one over the other?  For example, many articles use a two column format that is nice and compact for publication, but is a little harder to review and markup - so maybe the reviewers would prefer the article in a single column draft format?  EDIT: I'm specifically asking about journals that state you can use any format you like (for submission), leaving you free to choose whatever will be most convenient for the editors and reviewers. Do you try and still present a "finished product", i.e. format it like it will be if published - or use larger spacing, etc. to make it convenient for review. What would you as a reviewer or editor prefer in the absence of set submission guidelines. Or would you not care in the slightest?
In my past experiences, I have almost never typeset my manuscripts according to the formats required by the journals to which I would like to submit. I leave my manuscripts as produced by the LaTeX article documentclass.  Recently I am wondering: Would such a behavior generally give handling editors a negative first impression?
Adding console.log to every function automatically My friend Evan,is griefing me. When I went on his world to get revenge, he banned me. The screen said " HerobineYoung has banned enderpizza you will be kicked out in 5 minutes." I begged him to tell me how but he wouldn't tell me.   How can I ban people in Minecraft PE? Boolean variable returns as string from javascript function What if 'kill -9' does not work? I have a process I can't kill with kill -9 &lt;pid&gt;. What's the problem in such a case, especially since I am the owner of that process. I thought nothing could evade that kill option. Calculating extent of custom tiles? Problem  The picture is just an example of my case, but I am left with blank space on the left when I load all the tiles and I get error message in the console:   Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found) http://path/to/the/tile//base/8/6/53.png  etc.     I could guess and limit the extent of the layer, but I would really like to know is there any way to calculate it and also be able to get rid of the error message.  What I know about the tiles?   Originally they are served as TMS They represent png images 256*256 They are in projection: EPSG:3857 In OpenLayers2 they were called like TMS layer In OpenLayers3 (v.3.8.2) they are called like XYZ layer (that includes -y):     var baseLayer = new ol.layer.Tile({   source: new ol.source.XYZ({     url: 'http://path/to/the/tiles/base/{z}/{x}/{-y}.png'   }) });   Thoughts and questions   How can I calculate extent of the tiles? Or in another words how can I find out zmin zmax xmin ymin xmax ymax or whole range of x/y?  What does x/y really represent? Are they coordinates of the left bottom corner or center of the tile? In which direction does x/y increase? How can I figure out x/y of at least one of the tile, for example left bottom one?    (I have modified the question for better understanding of the problem) Apostrophe difference (Ones' and Two's Complement) Prove $n!>2^n$ for $n\geq4$ using induction. I just want to know if my proof to this question is correct. First, I proved it was true for $n = 4$. $$4!&gt;2^4$$ $$24&gt;16$$ Then, I assumed that it was true for $n=k$. $$k!&gt;2^k$$ Afterwards, I tried to prove it for $n=k+1$. $$(k+1)!&gt;2^{k+1}$$ $$(k+1)k!&gt;(2)(2^k)$$ Since $k!&gt;2^k$, am I allowed to simply do $$(k+1)(2^k)&gt;(2)(2^k)$$ $$(k+1)&gt;2$$ and this is true for all $k\geq3$. Would the last two steps be illegal because I only assumed that $k!&gt;2^k$ is true? Show that any set of 7 distinct integers includes two integers $x$ and $y$, such that either $x-y$ or $x+y$ is divisible by 10 Show that any set of 7 distinct integers includes two integers $x$ and $y$, such that either $x-y$ or $x+y$ is divisible by 10. I'm trying to apply the pigeonhole principle, but haven't been able to come up with a convincing argument.   Though similar to , I think the difference between the two is enough to warrant a second post. State of the art in quantum memory Presently, how much information can a quantum computer store, in how many qubits? What restrictions are there and how does it vary across realizations (efficiency of data storage, ease of reading and writing, etc)? Fuzzy string search library in Java I'm looking for a high performance Java library for fuzzy string search.  There are numerous algorithms to find similar strings, Levenshtein distance, Daitch-Mokotoff Soundex, n-grams etc.  What Java implementations exists? Pros and cons for them? I'm aware of Lucene, any other solution or Lucene is best?  I found these, does anyone have experience with them? Where did object dimensions go in 2.8? Anyone seen this panel? Essential for precise modeling. How to get a function name as a string? In Python, how do I get a function name as a string, without calling the function?  def my_function():     pass  print get_function_name_as_string(my_function) # my_function is not in quotes   should output "my_function".  Is such function available in Python? If not, any ideas on how to implement get_function_name_as_string, in Python? I am intermediate in PHP. To polish my skills I start learning Drupal 7. While learning Drupal architecture concepts, the terms hooks and bootstrapping puzzled me a lot. I read the "Pro Drupal development" book, and some documentation on drupal.org, but it is so advanced for me to learn how hooks work in Drupal to display the web page.  Can anyone tell me what hooks are in simple words? Hole-and-nail paradox in special relativity Run TTY script every time I open a GUI terminal When I log in to a TTY I get the following nice text:  Ubuntu 16.04.03 LTS Log-in: username Password: Last log-in date/time Welcome to Ubuntu 16.04.03 LTS   * Documentation:  * Management:  * Support:  9 packages to update 4 updates are security updates   I would like the last 2 lines repeated every time I open a GUI terminal for all users in the adm group (but will settle for having the entire thing displayed each and every time I open a GUI Terminal for all users)  I tried the obvious:  fab-root@fab-ux-predator:~ $ cd /etc/update-motd.d/ fab-root@fab-ux-predator:/etc/update-motd.d $ ./90-updates-available  fab-root@fab-ux-predator:/etc/update-motd.d $ cat /var/lib/update-notifier/updates-available cat: /var/lib/update-notifier/updates-available: Permission denied fab-root@fab-ux-predator:/etc/update-motd.d $   What am I missing?

As stated , being on fire means you are doing well, and  we see that you can be commended as an MVP for being on fire for a large portion of the time. This  shows that destroying non-player things gives you fire points, but what all do I get points from, and how many fire points do I need to be on fire/stay on fire? How long does it take for reputation on Stack Overflow Careers to be updated? Just curious how this works:  My Stack Overflow reputation on my Stack Overflow CV shows an amount X, which is less than my actual Stack Overflow reputation Y. It's been this way for a few days. In addition, some of my 'favorite answers' on my CV have a lower # of votes than they do in reality.  How long does it take for this (I assume cached) value to be updated? How to find the roots of $x^4 +1$ I'm trying to find the roots of $x^4+1$. I've already found in this site solutions for polynomials like this $x^n+a$, where $a$ is a negative term. I don't remember how to solve an equation when $a$ is a positive term as the equation above.  Thanks Generating data with a given sample covariance matrix This seems like a pretty softball question, but I always have a hard time looking up this function because there seem there are so many variations regarding the referencing of char and tchar.
