It appears that the suggested edit indicator (to users with the “moderator tools” privilege) has disappeared from the new top bar.  The suggested edit indicator is useful. Suggested edit review is not like other review tasks which can wait until somebody's interested in doing moderation. A pending suggested edit on a post locks the post against modifications by users without the edit privilege. Without the indicator, posts will spend longer in that semi-locked state. That's not good.  Please bring back an apparent notification of pending suggested edits.
Though I never quite understood what those numbers were and they were quite ugly, they were the only reason I ever visited the reviews page.   Can we have similar functionality back on the top bar please?
What makes someone deserving of a Ph.D.? Few days back while attending a thesis defense, one Professor was asking the defender why does he think, he deserves the degree. I was wondering since then, is there really any general answer for that? or the answer should be given describing my own work and then emphasis them how it is important for research field?  I asked the question here to know your opinion about it and to list down what could be the possible answers to this question. Execute a command once per line of piped input? I want to run a java command once for every match of ls | grep pattern -. In this case, I think I could do find pattern -exec java MyProg '{}' \; but I'm curious about the general case - is there an easy way to say "run a command once for every line of standard input"? (In fish or bash.) LSTM : shape of tensors? I'm trying to understand LSTM, using for instance   I get the overall idea, I guess. But I'm not quite sure I get the maths.  I'll set a very simple problem : I have a sequence of numbers and want to predict next number.   So x_t is of shape (1), and as I understand, h_t will be the prediction, so it should also be of shape (1). (I'm just here ignoring batch size)  Now, the equation producing h_t, using * operation should then have two operands of the same size as the result; that is, C_t and o_t should also be of shape (1).  Following on that idea, equation producing C_t forces also shape of (1) for f_t, i_t and ~C_t.  So... everything reduced to scalar real numbers in that case ?  what am I getting wrong ? because this would just not be able to learn much, would it ? Java - Screen turns black, when setting a JFrame to Fullscreen What is the best way to parse html in C#? I'm looking for a library/method to parse an html file with more html specific features than generic xml parsing libraries. Fastest Square Root Algorithm What is the fastest algorithm for finding the square root of a number?  I created one that can find the square root of "$987654321$" to $16$ decimal places in just $20$ iterations   I've now tried Newton's method as well as my own method (Newtons code as seen below)  What is the fastest known algorithm for taking the second root of a number?  My code for Newton's Method (*Edit: there was an error in my code, it is fixed in the comments below):        a=2   //2nd root     b=97654321   //base     n=1   //initial guess     c=0   //current iteration (this is a changing variable)     r=500000   //total number of iterations to run     while (c&lt;r)      {         m = n-(((n^a)-b)/(a*b))  //Newton's algorithm         n=m         c++;         trace(m + "  &lt;--guess   ...   iteration--&gt;  " + c)     } Natural deduction, Proof $\vdash$ $P\Rightarrow(Q\Rightarrow P)$ So I have a question regarding natural deduction, are we allowed to "copy" our previous assumption inside a new assumption. I will use an example to illustrate.  $\vdash$ $P\Rightarrow(Q\Rightarrow P)$  So here are my steps.  1.) $P$             Assumption  2.)$Q$             Assumption  3.)$P$             Copy (1)  4.)$Q \Rightarrow P$   Implication Introduction  5.)$P \Rightarrow (Q \Rightarrow P)$ Implication Introduction  Is my proof correct, or is there something missing.

How to create & execute a script file Is there a way to create and execute a script file in Ubuntu 14.04?  Perhaps something like Windows batch files.  Specifically, I mean the default scripting language of the Ubuntu terminal (Bash).  How do you make a text file containing bash commands which will be run by the Ubuntu terminal from the top of the file to the bottom. How does the 2009 Star Trek film mesh with Enterprise canon? All of the events in the 2009 Star Trek movie would have taken place after the adventures of Captain Johnathan Archer and company.  So, unless J.J. Abrams and friends decide to completely hand-wave that bit of history as well, all of the events in Enterprise should (in theory) still be able to line up with this new timeline.  Are there any points of conflict in this?  How about any time-travel episodes in the Enterprise series which may have happened differently after the interventions of Nero?  Are there possible good explanations for such conflicts, or are there some which are irreconcilable?  NOTE:  I'm not arguing here whether or not ST2k9 is a part of Star Trek canon.  In fact, this question is specifically granting that it is.  I just want to know if there's any conflicts between the new movie and the existing Star Trek history that remains applicable to it. About 0.999... = 1 I've just happened to read this  on MO (that of course has been closed) and some of the answers to a similar  on MSE.   I know almost nothing of nonstandard analysis and was asking myself if something like the sentence « $1- 0.999 \dots$ is a nonzero positive infinitesimal» could be easily expressed and proved in nonstandard analysis.  First of all, what is 0.999... ? If we take the usual definition as a series or as a limit of a sequence of rationals, then it will still be a real number and equal to $1$ (I guess by "transfer principle", but please correct me if I'm wrong).  Instead, let's define  $$0.9_N:=\sum_{i=1}^N 9\cdot 10^{-i} $$  where $N\in{}^*\mathbb{N}\setminus\mathbb{N}$ is an infinite nonstandard natural number. This $0.9_N$ is a legitimate element of ${}^*\mathbb{R}$, expressed as $0.$ followed by an infinite number of "$9$" digits.  What can be said about $\epsilon_N:=1-0.9_N$ ? Is there an elementary proof that $\epsilon_N$ is a positive infinitesimal of ${}^*\mathbb{R}$ ? (by "elementary" I mean just order and field axioms and the intuitive facts about infinitesimals, like that for $x$ infinite $1/x$ is infinitesimal etc.; no nonprincipal ultrafilters &amp; C). I was laying on my bed, reading a book when the sun shone through the windows on my left. I happened to look at the wall on my right and noticed this very strange effect. The shadow of my elbow, when near the pages of the book, joined up with the shadow of the book even though I wasn't physically touching it.   I have posted :The video seems to be the wrong way up, but you still get the idea of what is happening.  What is causing this? Some sort of optical illusion where the light gets bent?  Coincidentally, I have been wondering about a similar effect recently where if you focus your eye on a nearby object, say, your finger, objects behind it in the distance seem to get curved/distorted around the edge of your finger. It seems awfully related...  EDIT: I could see the bulge with my bare eyes to the same extent as in the video! The room was well light and the wall was indeed quite bright.

How to replace ${} placeholders in a text file? Cardinality of set of real continuous functions I believe that the set of all $\mathbb{R\to R}$ continuous functions is $\mathfrak c$, the . However, I read in the book &quot;Metric spaces&quot; by Ó Searcóid that set of all $[0, 1]\to\mathbb{R}$ continuous functions is greater than $\mathfrak c$:  &quot;It is demonstrated in many textbooks that $\mathbb{Q}$ is countable, that $\mathbb{R}$ is uncountable, that every non-degenerate interval is uncountable, that the collection of continuous functions deﬁned on  $[0,1]$ is of a greater cardinality than $\mathbb{R}$, and that there are sets of greater and greater cardinality.&quot;  I understand that (via composition with the continuous function $\tan$ or $\arctan$) these sets of continuous functions have the same cardinality. Therefore, which claim is correct, and how do I prove this? Removing the Bracket from the First Line of bmatrix How can I write a matrix with a header line that is not bracketed?

How do I proceed? The sum of the roots, the product of the roots lead me nowhere. Should I find the roots of the equation and substitute in the given two expressions of $\alpha$ and check whether manipulating the first root gives me the second root (which seems much complicated), or is there any other way? All  I just install a fresh new Ubuntu 16.04 on my new desktop which has a 8th generation Intel CPU i5 8600K. When OS installed, I found there is only one option in display setting: 1024 x 768 (4:3),  My monitor is a HDMI monitor with 1920x1080 resolution  Do anyone have any idea how to make the resolution setting right? Thanks.  BTW. I do not install any graphic card, I use the internal GPU of Intel Meaning of Sun Lamp Size? In Cycles, a sun lamp is treated as infinitely far away - only the angle matters, not the position. Other lamps have their sizes defined in blender units: a point lamp with size 1 emits light from a area with size of 1. But if a sun lamp at infinity had a size of 1 blender unit, the angular arc of that sun would be nonexistent.  Clearly, when you change the size of a sun lamp, shadows get fuzzier or sharper. But what does that actually mean? What are you changing?
