This may be, after decades of Windows use, the moment when I switch to Mac...  Issue: Win is rebooting my PC, once or twice a day, once when I was on a phone call, with a word doc in front of me, discussing it by tel.  I believe the core issue is that the big update to Win 10 is failing to install properly.  I followed the steps here:   But the reboots continue.  The GUI currently shows as below.  a) How do a PREVENT auto reboots, in general?  b) How do I STOP the reboot that the system is telling me will occur in the next hour?
Windows 10 lets you 'schedule' a reboot for later. I want to disable it.  Evidently Windows scheduled itself for a reboot last night when I wasn't looking and just closed everything I had been working on the night before.  I reboot on the regular; I don't need Windows to do that for me.  Can I disable it completely? I don't mind if it downloads everything, and then says "hey, you should reboot," but it should never reboot itself, ever.  I'm using the "Pro" edition of Windows 10.
Is my logic straight? Logistic regressions in R I asked a  recently, looking for examples of an online tool. Per the , I answered my own question with a few examples that I had already found. I did this so that these examples would be included in the answers, along with the rest.  The question has received only down votes and insults saying that this shouldn't be done.   Should I not answer my own questions? Why don't we treat rubbish the same as spam? Manganese has more unpaired electrons than Iron so why is Iron ferromagnetic Manganese paramagnetic? Manganese has five unpaired electrons, but Iron has four, then why is Iron ferromagnetic and Manganese paramagnetic? What's that property I'm missing? I'm trying to simulate a media key press using a custom shortcut.  So far, I've been able to achieve the simulation I need using the command:  xdotool key XF86AudioPlay   It works perfectly, it pauses or starts the music player every time it is run.  The problem comes when trying to run it as a shortcut.  First I tried to run an alias with a custom shortcut, but it did not work.  As explained on :     The commands run by keyboard bindings are not parsed via a shell. Your best bet is to create a directory bin in your homedir.   Next I created the suggested script and named it simplay:  #!/bin/sh xdotool key XF86AudioPlay   It is located inside a bin folder which is part of the PATH, this works fine and can be run from any location.  When trying to create the Custom Shortcut, I was unable to get it to execute, the configuration is the following:  Name: test Command: simplay  Shortcut: Ctrl+Alt+R   After searching a bit more I found another way to execute the shortcut:  gnome-terminal -e simplay   I tried it on a terminal and noticed that when executing it it would rapidly open a new terminal window, execute the child process, pausing the music and immediately close the window.  I changed the command on the shortcut and when hitting it I noticed the same behavior opening a terminal and immediately being closed but this time the child process did not pause the music, which makes me think that the script has been called on all my previous attempts but it is somehow not being able to execute.  How can I solve this problem according to your knowledge? Money - Countable or Uncountable noun page suggests that we use much with only uncountable nouns whereas the use of many/several is limited to countable nouns only. So I conclude that money is uncountable noun as I've heard people saying phrases like      So much money!   But, We do count the money in our daily life then why is it that money is considered an uncountable noun instead of countable? What if I say      I have $500 to spend   Wouldn't the money be considered countable in this case?  Edit The question may be considered duplicate of the suggested question but, in my opinion, the question on that link itself is not answered properly. Do any open-source .Net libraries (commercially usable) exist for reading/writing LiDAR data? I have a few LiDAR point data (.las files) with me. I would like to read the X,Y and Z from it using .Net. I found , which is in C++ and I am not sure if it can be used commercially after reading the licensing information. Has anyone found any good ones? Can a shadow move faster than the speed of light? I'm just a layman with no real science background  (a) I'm not really sure what a shadow is. Some people are saying that it's the absence of something (a photon?) and therefore it is not subject to laws of physics. But I know when I'm in a shadow and when in sunlight... that's "information", and I thought that information flow can't break the speed of light limit.  (b) Some others use the laser pointer/flicking wrist example to talk about laser dots moving faster than light speed. But that can't be right, can it? The photons from the laser point have to travel from A to B and (after wrist flick) from A to C ... but the photons are all moving at the speed of light - there's no law-breaking in moving the laser dot from point B to point C because the photons are moving either from A to B or A to C ... the distance from B to C is not material (is it?).  (c) Also, can a shadow be thought of as a gap in a photon flow? E.g. if I interrupt a beam of single photons then can I think of it as e.g. PPPSSSPPPSSSPPPSSSPPP, etc where P = photons and S(shadow) = no photon &amp;, if so, the "SSS" is effectively travelling at the speed of light ... no faster. I have 2 columns in Excel: the first contains a list of employee names who perform function A, and the second contains a list of employee names who perform function B.  What I want is to identify, in one cell, if there is one employee whose name appears in both the first and second columns. It does not have to show which name(s) appears in both columns, it just needs to identify IF there are any names that appear in both columns. Understanding the impact/risk of turning off "verify backup integrity" on SQL backup Currently we use standard maintenance plans for backups on the SQL Server 2005/2008/2008R2/2012 servers in our environment, and the "Verify backup integrity" box has always been checked.  Some of the backups run very long, so I've recommended turning off that option, but management needs me to document the impact and risks of this change.  I understand the use and history of this option, it just seems unnecessary to me to double the time for the backup job when (in my opinion), any error that is likely to occur would occur during the backup step, not during the verify.  Am I wrong? Is it minimal risk to turn this off, if I am backing up to disk and not to streaming tape or something? (We back up over the network to an EMC DD-800 backup appliance, if that is relevant.)  Is there any official MS recommendations for when it is safe to turn this off?   Do you run "verify" on every backup in your environment? Do you spot-check them?  EDIT: To clarify, when you check "verify backup integrity" in the maintenance plan, SQL will do a full RESTORE VERIFYONLY on each database immediately after each backup. This is just as data/IO intensive as the original backup, and (basically) doubles the overall time of the backup job. This is not the same as enabling the "checksum" option on backup (which can't be done in the wizard, as far as I know). Unsolved mystery - I was given a coworker's Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS machine and set up my own (sudo/admin) user on there from the command line. I switched to my user (from his sudo/admin user) and confirmed everything was okay using the groups command and the /etc/passwd file looked great. After months of everything working perfectly, a power outage shut down the machine for the first time since I inherited it.  After booting, my new user disappeared. It's not in the /etc/passwd file and there is no entry in the /home directory. I created the user the same as I did before, and there were no errors to indicate that the user still existed.  What happened?

Bucky (Winter Soldier) has a metal arm (possibly made from vibranium?) but it's an attachment to his body as far as I understand. Why, when Thanos destroys half of the universe at the end of Infinity War, does his metallic arm also disappear with him? Shouldn't it be left behind as his gun did? Training on the full dataset after cross-validation? TL:DR: Is it ever a good idea to train an ML model on all the data available before shipping it to production? Put another way, is it ever ok to train on all data available and not check if the model overfits, or get a final read of the expected performance of the model?    Say I have a family of models parametrized by $\alpha$. I can do a search (e.g. a grid search) on $\alpha$ by, for example, running k-fold cross-validation for each candidate.   The point of using cross-validation for choosing $\alpha$ is that I can check if a learned model $\beta_i$ for that particular $\alpha_i$ had e.g. overfit, by testing it on the "unseen data" in each CV iteration (a validation set). After iterating through all $\alpha_i$'s, I could then choose a model $\beta_{\alpha^*}$ learned for the parameters $\alpha^*$ that seemed to do best on the grid search, e.g. on average across all folds.  Now, say that after model selection I would like to use all the the data that I have available in an attempt to ship the best possible model in production.  For this, I could use the parameters $\alpha^*$ that I chose via grid search with cross-validation, and then, after training the model on the full ($F$) dataset, I would a get a single new learned model $\beta^{F}_{\alpha^*}$   The problem is that, if I use my entire dataset for training,  I can't reliably check if this new learned model $\beta^{F}_{\alpha^*}$ overfits or how it may perform on unseen data. So is this at all good practice? What is a good way to think about this problem? My objective here is really simple -- I'm trying to set an NSString to some test data, then return the class, which should be NSString. Here's my code:  NSString* stringer = [NSString stringWithFormat: @"Test"]; NSLog(@"%@", [stringer class]);   The log says that the class is NSCFString, not NSString. What's going on here? Proving $\,a\mid bc\!\iff\! \frac{a}{(a,b)}\!\mid c\ $ [general Euclid's Lemma] I tried to start by showing that $ \frac{a}{\gcd(a,b)} $ is always an integer, let's call it $d$, because $a$ is always a multiple of $(a,b)$ based on the definition of a g.c.d. I then tried to show that if $a | b$ then $a|bc$ from the theorem that states that $a|b$ implies that $a|bc$ for any integer $c$, but I cant seem to prove that $a | b$ or that $a|bc$ only if $d \mid c$ (where $d = \frac{a}{\gcd(a,b)}$ ). Any help would be much appreciated.
