I'm using authoryear with some customisations to give me a bibliography entry like this:     Gal-Chen, T. and R. C. Somerville, 1975. On the Use of a Coordinate   Transformation for the Solution of the Navier-Stokes Equations. J.   Comp. Phys., 17, 209–228.   In my LaTeX file I use:  \usepackage{xpatch} \usepackage[   backend=biber,   style=authoryear,   firstinits=true,   doi=false,   isbn=false,   uniquename=init]{biblatex}   And I define a biblatex.cfg file in the same directory:  \renewbibmacro{in:}{} \AtEveryBibitem{%   \clearfield{number}% } \DeclareFieldFormat{pages}{#1} \DeclareFieldFormat[article]{journaltitle}{\mkbibemph{#1},} \DeclareFieldFormat[article]{volume}{\textbf{#1}} \DeclareFieldFormat[article]{title}{#1\isdot} \xpatchbibmacro{date+extrayear}{%   \printtext[parens]% }{%   \setunit{\addcomma\space}%   \printtext% }{}{}   How can I change the period to a colon after the year of publication?
With biblatex, alphabetic style, I have     &lt;author&gt;. &lt;title&gt;   But I want to have a colon ":" instead of the period "." after the author:     &lt;author&gt;: &lt;title&gt;   What do I have to change?
Taylor's polynomial uniqueness proof - why are these limits inferable? So I'm viewing a short proof on the uniqueness of Taylor polynomials.     Uniqueness of Taylor polynomial:   Let $f:]a,b,[ \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ $n$ times continuously   differentiable and $x_0 \in ]a,b,[$. If $p$ is $n$th degree polynomial   function for which       $$f(x)-p(x)=o(|x-x_0|^n), \space \text{when} \space x \rightarrow x_0$$  then      $$p(x)=T_{n, x_0} f(x)$$   Proof starts like:  $$\frac{p(x)-T_{n, x_0}f(x)}{(x-x_0)^n} = \frac{p(x)-f(x)}{(x-x_0)^n}+\frac{f(x)-T_{n, x_0}f(x)}{(x-x_0)^n}$$  then   $$\frac{p(x)-f(x)}{(x-x_0)^n} \rightarrow 0 \space, when \space x-x_0 \rightarrow 0$$  $$\frac{f(x)-T_{n, x_0}f(x)}{(x-x_0)^n} \rightarrow 0 \space, when \space x-x_0 \rightarrow 0$$  Now my problem is, how can one actually say that the above approach $0$ if the denominator approaches $0$? Let $a&gt;b&gt;0$ and let $n \in N$ satisfy $n \geq 2$.  Prove that $$a^{1/n}-b^{1/n}&lt;(a-b)^{1/n}.$$  If we let $a=x$ and $b=x-1$, then we need to show that $f(x):=x^{1/n}-(x-1)^{1/n}$ is decreasing for $1\leq x$ (which means that $f'(x)\leq 0$ and $f$ is differentiable), and evaluate $f$ at $1$ and $a/b$. Stop inserting hard line-wraps in blockquotes! When you use the markdown editor's blockquote feature (the quote button / Ctrl+Q), it inserts hard line-wraps in the markdown source automatically for you. That is, it transforms text like this:  Hindus regard it as an earthly manifestation of the goddess Tulsi, a consort of the god Vishnu.   The offering of its leaves is mandatory in ritualistic worship of Vishnu and his forms like Krishna and Vithoba.   Into text like this:  &gt; Hindus regard it as an earthly manifestation of the goddess Tulsi, a &gt; consort of the god Vishnu.  &gt;  &gt; The offering of its leaves is mandatory in ritualistic worship of &gt; Vishnu and his forms like Krishna and Vithoba.   The editor should instead transform it into this:  &gt; Hindus regard it as an earthly manifestation of the goddess Tulsi, a consort of the god Vishnu.  &gt;  &gt; The offering of its leaves is mandatory in ritualistic worship of Vishnu and his forms like Krishna and Vithoba.   That is, without adding any newlines.   Why on earth does it insert hard line-wraps!? Both these forms look the same when rendered, but the current way makes it more difficult for us to go back and edit the blockquoted text later if need be.   This is particularly objectionable functionality for sites that use MathJax - while the hard line-wraps don't impact the rendered output, the additional &gt; that are inserted do (they manifest as greater-than signs if they get inserted within MathJax $$...$$). See this post on Meta.Math.SE for more details: .    I found  that this behavior is apparently :      The "reflow the text when you click blockquote" is a deliberate feature, intended to improve the readability on quoted text.   Seriously? Are there any browsers that don't soft-linewrap textareas anymore? How is hard-wrapping at 70(?) characters better than soft-wrapping at $textareawidth? If readability is the concern here, then why not hard-wrap all non-code upon post submission? Should the first word after a colon be capitalized? Should the first word after a colon be capitalized? Which of the following is correct?   For example: This. For example: this. How to rename objects with python?

This should be a common problem for anyone involved in technical writing.  When you insert an image (or table etc.) caption in Word, you get  dialog. You enter your caption,  "A happy bicycle" (in yellow).  This might be fine for a happy bicycle, but I want to have captions that have one style for the "enumeration" (label and number) and one style for the description (caption text, as called by Word), as such:    I have tried searching for this but I haven't found anything yet... Get the subdomain from a URL Getting the subdomain from a URL sounds easy at first.  http://www.domain.example   Scan for the first period then return whatever came after the "http://" ...  Then you remember  http://super.duper.domain.example   Oh. So then you think, okay, find the last period, go back a word and get everything before!   Then you remember  http://super.duper.domain.co.uk   And you're back to square one. Anyone have any great ideas besides storing a list of all TLDs? Fortran IF statement with numbers/labels rather than another statement How To Set Default Wallpaper As Login Screen Wallpaper [Automatically]? Two blue arrows at top right of icons On some icons I am seeing a two blue arrows at the top the right pointing towards each other. I first noticed it on the icons on folders which I archived which happened randomly. I archived the folder and the text went blue as expected, then when I went to the folder again the text was black and the folder icon has these arrows. When I just recently installed Office 2007, I noticed the same arrows on the icons for the programs. OS: Windows 10 Pro 64-bit (the latest update: 1115) Application: Microsoft Office 2007 suite and file explorer How should one maintain and update a MiKTeX installation? Every once in a while after updating MiKTeX, the installation gets into an inconsistent state. This might be a problem with the packages (an example is described in ), but sometimes packages are split or renamed. The cases I remember are when  and when miktex-etex-base-2,9 was renamed to miktex-etex-base-2.9 (if I recall correctly; I am sure it was either that or something very similar). In each case the MiKTeX Update process suggested to remove the "old" packages but it didn't give the user any hints about him having to manually add the respective replacement packages back in the package manager to get one's MiKTeX installation back into a usable state.  What are best practices for keeping MiKTeX up to date? Note that I'm not asking about installing new packages or fonts in general; there are other questions covering this area.   In which order should one execute the Update process and the Synchronization of the repository? , it is recommended to check the MiKTeX homepage before updating. What else should one do? When and in which order (and why) should one execute the "Refresh FNDB" and "Update Formats" processes within the MiKTeX Options menu? What else can happen? Other advice? Reading the book on which I'm learning English, I've come across a weird (for me) omitting the "to" in sentence: "I'd better go meet with him then."  Say, if it were "I'd better go to meet with him then.", would there be any difference between the two sentences? When I should prefer using one instead the other?  P.S. Sorry for my bad English.

I found that parity of both is same and If $x$ Is odd it is of the form $4k+1$. Question 1: Why are irrational numbers uncountable and rationals countable?  I really struggle to understand this. I initially thought it had something to with the fact that between any two numbers there will always be a irrational number. But now it has come to my attention that the same holds for rational numbers. So I can't really see the difference between them. What is it that makes the difference? Why can we line up all rational numbers one-to-one with the natural numbers, but not the irrationals with the naturals?  Sorry for a perhaps basic question, but I really, really struggle with it.

SQL-Like Inner Join on IDs in Two Layers in QGIS Using QGIS v2.6.0-Brighton.  This question is not about editing layers geographically in anyway. It is merely trying to find data from two layers as you would in an SQL Query and append an extra ID to the second layer.  I have one polyline layer each identified with two different IDs. There is a point layer also with one of these IDs, I wish to find this corresponding ID and append them as a column to the point layer.  How do I do this without finding each row individually and typing it in manually (i.e. larger scale)? I would prefer to use SQL like syntax but if there is a GUI as well that would be ideal.
