I need to install elmerfem and there's just no release file for focal fossa, which is the version I'm using. Is there any way to override that so that I can install releases meant for other ubuntu versions?
When updating, I get the following error message:   W: The repository 'http://ppa.launchpad.net/mc3man/trusty-media/ubuntu xenial Release' does not have a Release file.   Here, I find another statement on this error:   This recommends removing certain PPAs; and, I'm not sure if I should do that since it might mean not getting the updates that I need.    Is this what I should do?
grep strange behaviour with single letter words I am removing stop words from a text, roughly using this   I have the following  $ cat file file types extensions  $ cat stopwords i file types   grep -vwFf stopwords file  I am expecting the result: extensions  but I get the ( I think incorrect)  file extensions   It is as if the word file has been skipped in the stopwords file. Now here's the cool bit: if I modify the stopwords file, by changing the single word/letter i on the first line, to any other ascii letter apart from f, i, l, e, then the same grep command gives me a different and correct result of extensions.  What is going on here and how do I fix it?  I'm using grep (BSD grep) 2.5.1-FreeBSD on a Mac OSX GNU bash, version 4.4.12(1) Interpretation of Shapiro-Wilk test I'm pretty new to statistics and I need your help. I have a small sample, as follows:    H4U   0.269   0.357   0.2   0.221   0.275   0.277   0.253   0.127   0.246   I ran the Shapiro-Wilk test using R:    shapiro.test(precisionH4U$H4U)   and I got the following result:   W = 0.9502, p-value = 0.6921   Now, if I assume the significance level at 0.05 than the p-value is larger then alpha (0.6921 > 0.05) and I cannot reject the null hypothesis about the normal distribution, but does it allow me to say that the sample has a normal distribution?  Thanks! wp_delete_auto_drafts() deletes links in menus Since yesterday the wp_scheduled_auto_draft_delete cron job somehow deletes all page entries from our menus. All entries in the table wp_postmeta with meta_key = '_menu_item_object' and meta_value = 'page' get deleted in the process. By tracing back the DELETE query I found out that the menu entries are deleted by a function called _wp_delete_post_menu_item. I got the following stacktrace for that function:  #0  _wp_delete_post_menu_item(3244) #1  call_user_func_array(_wp_delete_post_menu_item, Array ([0] =&gt; 3244)) called at [/srv/www/htdocs/biva/wp-includes/plugin.php:470] #2  do_action(delete_post, 3244) called at [/srv/www/htdocs/biva/wp-includes/post.php:2483] #3  wp_delete_post(3244, 1) called at [/srv/www/htdocs/biva/wp-includes/post.php:5645] #4  wp_delete_auto_drafts() #5  call_user_func_array(wp_delete_auto_drafts, Array ()) called at [/srv/www/htdocs/biva/wp-includes/plugin.php:546] #6  do_action_ref_array(wp_scheduled_auto_draft_delete, Array ()) called at [/srv/www/htdocs/biva/wp-cron.php:100]   But I'm stuck here, I'm not a wordpress developer and I have no clue why deleting old drafts results in deleting attached menu entries although the main pages still exist.  Workaround: As a workaround we added the following to the top of wp-config, wich will disable wp-cron:  /** Disable wp-cron to prevent menu from getting deleted. Detailed Bug description: http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/145953 **/ define('DISABLE_WP_CRON', true);   If you are experiencing similar difficulties you might try locking the rows in the table wp_postmeta with meta_key = '_menu_item_object' and meta_value = 'page' and then tracing back the error message when WP trys to delete these rows, that's how we nailed down our error.  Reproduce the Error: It is definitely the stealth publish plugin that is causing our error, one can easily reproduce it, by doing the following:   Install a fresh Wordpress 3.9.1. Install the stealth publish plugin . Create a few test pages and add them to a new menu. Create a new page, with some dummy content, but do not save it!. Leave the page without saving. Change the system time 8 days into the future. The wp_scheduled_auto_draft_delete cron job will run because it runs daily and it hasn't run for 7 days as soon as you visit your page. It will then find your never saved dummy page delete it as it is older than 7 days and the menu will vanish. You might need to refresh the page a few times till the effect becomes visible.

Change font size of labels in figures to any font size I want to change the font size of the label of a figure environment to any font size.

What makes scaling pixel art different than other images? Recently I was coaching a developer who's new to making pixel art games, and realized there's some "conventional wisdom" around scaling pixel art that's not obvious to a newcomer, and might not be well documented. So, here's an attempt to fix that....     I've heard I should only scale pixel art by 200%, 300% etc. not in-between sizes like 120%   Why is that? Shouldn't scaling "just work" the way it does with other images? What if I really need to make my character just a fraction larger or smaller to get the right gameplay or look? How do I fix this?  I'm told it's "bad" to use pixel art at different scales in one game - why?    For example, if I scaled up my character so each sprite texel is 4x4 screen pixels, while my background art is scaled up so each sprite texel is 6x6 screen pixels. Isn't a pixel a pixel at the end of the day?
