I am trying to make holes out from a pattern. It will be like a star and holes will be a word logo.   I am thinking to make the text as SVG then make a manual pattern in Blender and use Boolean Modifier.  _  Problems:   -It will be flat and the word will not follow the mesh (the second IMG).  -It will take a lot of time to make a pattern in blender.  I liked the one as image texter if it can be done in some how?!  And thanks!
I have an object already created in blender, a tree, or a human, or a pipe.. and I need this to be drilled with multiple holes.   The holes are painted in an image, that is, it is an image that has a repeating an images pattern (they can be circles, squares, or any form).  Here are some examples for drilling-pattern:
align vs equation I always use align in my documents, and avoid equation. Is there anything wrong with that? My reasoning behind this: align > equation, so why not use it?

How do I get console output in C++ with a Windows program? I am looking to create realistic car movement using vectors SQL Server 2008 server cannot connect to itself with alias name or "localhost" We have a SQL Server 2008 ENT 64bit SP3 server running Server 2008 R2 Standard SP1 64-bit.  This is also a windows/sql clustered environment.  There is the cluster alias for the server, and then we have 2 AD DNS aliases as well for the server  Suddenly I can't connect to the sql instance in Management Studio, or with a Powershell Invoke-SQLcmd IF I am doing it from that actual server, when using one of the dns alias names, or "localhost".  If I use the Cluster alias name it works and if I use the other dns alias name it works.  Using management studio with the non-working dns alias I get "Login failed. The login is from an untrusted domain and cannot be used with Windows authentication."  If I use localhost, I get "A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 2)"    Shared Memory and TCPIP are enabled in SQL Server Config manager but named pipes is not.  But we've NEVER had named pipes enabled, and don't have it enabled on any of our other sql servers and they're set up the same (clustering, dns aliases...etc) and are having no issues.  I've Googled around and had a view people suggest listing what other SQL servers it can see (cmd prompt sqlcmd -L)  If it do it from a good server I see all other servers on my network including the "bad" one.  If I do that command from the "bad" server, I get no results at all.  Pretty much checked everything from this blog and it's all ok except the sqlcmd -L issue I just mentioned above.    Windows firewall is not enabled.  This was working just fine for a couple of years.  I'm not sure when this started happening, but I know that at some point, it was not happening.  And the other kicker...it's only happening locally to this server.  If I connect with management studio or run a powershell Invoke-Sqlcmd from another machine, or my local machine connecting to the "bad" server, it works fine no matter what alias I use.  I'm stumped.  I think it sounds like an issue with the AD alias (there are 2 ad aliases, 1 works locally the other doesn't)...but not being able to connect with localhost makes me question that.  any help is greatly appreciated.

How to find original community description Before joining a community you can easily see the community description. For example, for example before joining the Programming Puzzles &amp; Code Golf Stack Exchange you see the description:     Programming Puzzles &amp; Code Golf Stack Exchange is a question and   answer site for programming puzzle enthusiasts and code golfers.   However, after joining I can no longer see this description. I can go to the on-topic page and see a different description:     Programming Puzzles &amp; Code Golf is for programming contests and   challenges. We welcome questions from beginners and experts alike.   Yet, I cannot seem to find the original description anywhere. Is there a way to find the original description while being logged into a Stack Exchange site?  Based on Rene's answer, I can click the Tour link on each site, but StackOverflow (and maybe other sites) do not have a tour link. Instead, I'd have to go there by manually typing it in the address bar. Is there a reason that this has been removed from the Stack Overflow page? I just did a clean installation of Ubuntu 18.04.1 on a tablet which was previously running Ubuntu 17.10. Back then just after the installation the screen was rotated, but I was able to get it to work (I think it was running on Wayland).  Now with 18.04.1 the situation is similar: when Ubuntu first boots the login screen is upside-down, but that's not a problem. This time, after login, the screen is correctly oriented but the mouse cursor is upside down and mouse movements are inverted with respect to both axes. The problem is that when I try to click on something the click is registered on the position on the other side of the screen (symmetrically with respect to the center).   It almost seems like the screen (desktop, application, etc.) is correctly displayed, with also the mouse positioned correctly and moving as it should, but then the mouse cursor which is shown to the user is inverted, like if the screen had been inverted just before drawing the cursor.  I already tried the answers I could find, but none worked for me. Anyone have an idea of what's going on?  Thanks How do I add custom validations to Webform?

How to change Power button shutdown action to run a script under systemd How does one change the power button shutdown action under say debian 10 systemd to run a custom script instead of shutting down the system?  Back when this was handled by acpi one could edit the scripts in /etc/acpi.  The only suggestion I have found thus far is to replace various power related binaries with my script.  Is there a way to do this without replacing binaries? Today I found my first ever (to the best of memory) emoji in a post.        Having no idea this was even possible I came here looking for some history. I found there is an  tag. There seems to be consensus that they add little to no value on SE per  &amp;  we also know they don't translate well on all devices    I don't find any history other then this one post  where there is any focused attempt to support them. I don't find any history of discussion on supporting them.    Two questions   Is it possible to disable emojis across Stack Exchange?   If yes   Should we disable emojis across Stack Exchange?
