I want to make a portable flash drive with Ubuntu Mate on it as backup and keep that flash drive in my backpack (which I take everywhere). I don't like to use other people's computers, so I'd rather have an own OS ready to use whenever needed. My intention is having the flash drive carry the actual system of Ubuntu Mate, not an installer.  Now I'm not entirely sure what to install, 64-bit or 32-bit.  My main reason for that is that I don't know if plugging in my flash drive (with 64-bit Ubuntu Mate) on a 32-bit hardware machine, I can actually boot and use it.   Is that possible or should I go with 32-bit for compatibility?   Editing because of "possible duplicate": I think my question is similar, though more specific. I'd find it weird if moderators would not consider this a question on it's own. I've also been searching for an answer to this, for over an hour, without finding one. That's why I'm asking it on here.
What is the difference between 32-bit and 64-bit Ubuntu? I've heard the 64-bit platform performs better and can detect more than 4GB of RAM. Also, while some apps haven't ported to 64-bit yet, ia32-libs lets a 64-bit machine run them.  If so, why not promote 64-bit over 32-bit?
How do I use the Tooling API to create a new Apex Trigger? How do I use the Tooling API to create a new Apex Trigger (rather than update an existing one)?  According to the  I need to specify the ContentEntityId as an existing Trigger Id. But in my case I don't have an Id because I've trying to create a new sObject.  If I omit the ContentEntityId I get an error back in the SaveResult:     Status Code: INSUFFICIENT_ACCESS_ON_CROSS_REFERENCE_ENTITY   Message: "insufficient access rights on cross-reference id"   The following is more or less a test case in C# that attempts to use the SOAP tooling API to create the new trigger.

I happen, time and again, to read and hear people – among which people working in cinema – regretting the fact that film (in the sense of actual reels of plastic strip) is nowadays very rarely used when shooting movies. Is there some ground to such nostalgia?  Of course I am not looking for opinions for or against film vs. digital media, but sourced, objective reasons. Is there anything that could be done with film but not with digital supports? Are there measurable differences in effects on viewers? Difference between files written in binary and text mode What translation occurs when writing to a file that was opened in text mode that does not occur in binary mode? Specifically in MS Visual C.  unsigned char buffer[256]; for (int i = 0; i &lt; 256; i++) buffer[i]=i; int size  = 1; int count = 256;   Binary mode:  FILE *fp_binary = fopen(filename, "wb"); fwrite(buffer, size, count, fp_binary);   Versus text mode:  FILE *fp_text = fopen(filename, "wt"); fwrite(buffer, size, count, fp_text); How to replace a string with a string containing slash with sed?

This image uses the following command to add the repository:  echo "deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian jessie-backports main" &gt;&gt; /etc/apt/sources.list   The problem is that fetching packages from the backports repository now  fails with the following error (this used to work previously):  W: Failed to fetch http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/jessie-backports/main/binary-amd64/Packages 404  Not Found  W: Failed to fetch http://deb.debian.org/debian/dists/jessie-updates/main/binary-amd64/Packages  404  Not Found   I looked on that server, and those paths are indeed not present there.  I tried to figure out on the Debian backports site whether this particular repository should still be available, and I didn't find any indication that this was deprecated or something like that.  Is this a temporary issue with the repository, or is the jessie-backports repository not available anymore? And if this is not a temporary issue, what options do I have to use this or an equivalent repository without upgrading to the newer Debian stable version?

Good refactoring support for C++ The Visual Studio refactoring support  for C# is quite good nowadays (though not half as good as some Java IDE's I've seen already) but I'm really missing C++ support.

Why AUC =1 even classifier has misclassified half of the samples? I have studied that every normed space $(V, \lVert\cdot \lVert)$ is a metric space with respect to distance function  $d(u,v) = \lVert u - v \rVert$, $u,v \in V$.   My question is whether every metric on a linear space can be induced by norm? I know answer is  no but I need proper justification.   Edit: Is there any method to check whether a given metric space is induced by norm ?  Thanks for help proof relating to limit definition of e I'm studying the book A Primer for the Mathematics of FinancialEngineering, along with it's solution guide. I've ran into trouble with the solution to question 7 in chapter 1.    The problem is:  Show that $(1+\frac{1}{x})^x &lt; e &lt; (1+\frac{1}{x})^{x+1}$ .   Specifically, I'm having trouble with one step in the solution.    It says that  $$x\ln\left(1+\frac{1}{x}\right)&lt;1&lt;(x+1)\ln\left(1+\frac{1}{x}\right)$$  can be written as   $$\frac{1}{x+1} &lt;\ln\left(1+\frac{1}{x}\right)&lt;\frac{1}{x}, \forall \ge 1.$$  How can the first equality (or is it inequality?) be written as the second?

See also: The new notice for protected questions looks like this:     Earn 10 reputation in order to answer this question. The reputation requirement helps protect this question from spam and non-answer activity.  The phrasing of this notice leaves out a lot of info, and is incorrect in many cases:  In the case where the user has just created their account on the site (whether or not they have the association bonus of +100), the default 1 for signing up does count toward the required 10. The message implies that the user has to earn 10 more reputation for a total of 11 (or 111), while the actual requirement is 10 (or 110).  If the user just registered and started off with the association bonus, then later lost part of it (e.g. through bounties or making a downvoted post), earning 10 reputation is not enough to answer protected questions. According to the literal wording of the notice, earning 10 reputation is enough regardless of previous rep loss, but this is not the case.   The easiest fix that can be made, to at least fix part of the problem, would be to explicitly indicate that the association bonus does not count. This was implemented in the prior protected question notice in response to , but was omitted from the new notice. This omission  , and adding this back would remove that. Can we please fix this notice? While the etiquette of dealing with duplicate answers , there hasn't been a great way to deal with these, "Uh, yeah, I said this, too" types of behavior than the almighty downvote.   It would be nice to have a "Duplicate Answer" option on the flag menu. Five flags auto-deletes the answer, as with any other flag. In order to prevent abuse, the flagged answer would have to have the last owner edit (including original post) be younger than the original answer's original posting by at least 2 minutes.  Also, this ability should be a 5,000+ rep privilege, since we currently have no fanfare of rep from 3,001 to 9,999, and a power like this has a bit more umph than closing a question.  Thoughts?
