I would like a little bit of help with Blender 2.8. I don't know why the X coordinate of the highlighted vertex is -2 in the local coordinate system ? I think it should be something like -3.4 ? Y and Z seems ok, but not the X.
I just found out about the Mesh Display : Length feature in the "N" panel (thanks to ) that allows one to measure the length of a face or vertice.  But my first encounter with this tool gives me complex feelings of love and hate, see how, as I was trying to measure the aspect ratio of this TV screen, I am getting WIDTH = 20.33 and HEIGHT = 37.57.  These values seem awfully wrong, since my betrusted eyes tell me the height should be shorter than the width.    I have tried measuring the single vertices as well, to identical results.

How do I install a .deb file via the command line? Why is mathematical induction a valid proof technique? Context: I'm studying for my discrete mathematics exam and I keep running into this question that I've failed to solve. The question is as follows.    Problem: The main form for normal induction over natural numbers $n$ takes the following form:   $P(1)$ is true, and for every $n, P(n-1)\to P(n).\qquad\qquad\qquad\text{[Sometimes written as $P(n)\to P(n+1)$]}$   If both 1 and 2 are true, then $P(n)$ is true for every $n$.  The question is to prove the correctness of the form above.    My work: My idea was to make a boolean statement and if it's a tautology in a true false table. That means the statement is always correct.  I've tried many times but I've failed.  Here is the original question in Hebrew:  n טענה כלשהי לגבי מםפר טבעי  $P(n)$ תהי   אם מתקימיים שני התנאים הבאים:  1- הטענה $P(0)$ נכונה  2- לכל n>0, $P(n)$ נכונות הטענה $P(n-1)$ גוררת את נכונות הטענה   אז $P(n)$ נכונה לכל מספר טבעי n  הוכיחו את נכונות משפט זה Real-life examples of common distributions What is the simplest way to generate a dodecahedron? I've been thinking of animating some dice and while most are easy to make, I'm having some trouble figuring out a way to generate a regular dodecahedron. I could hand build it but it would be potentially uneven. Would using the base of a 5 sided cylinder and then some variation on spin be the best option or is there a better way?

The boy was seen to break the window.   I use Murphy's Grammar and this structure is never discussed. Injectivity of Homomorphism in Localization Let $\alpha:A\to B$ be a ring homomorphism, $Q\subset B$ a prime ideal, $P=\alpha^{-1}(Q)\subset A$ a prime ideal. Consider the natural map $\alpha_Q:A_P\to B_Q$ defined by $\alpha_Q(a/b)=\alpha(a)/\alpha(b)$. Suppose that $\alpha$ is injective. Then is $\alpha_Q$ always injective?    I think so, but I'm clearly being too dense to prove it! My argument goes as follows.  Let $\alpha(a)/\alpha(b)=0$. Then $\exists c \in B\setminus Q$ s.t. $c\alpha(a)=0$. If $B$ is a domain we are done. If not we must exhibit some $d\in A\setminus P$ s.t. $da=0$. Obviously this is true if $c =\alpha(d)$. But I don't see how I have any information to prove this!  Am I wrong and this is actually false? If so could someone show me the trivial counterexample I must be missing?   Many thanks!

How to open nautilus without a desktop? I'm using xmonad, and I would like to open a nautilus window to a certain directory, because I like the convenience of browsing inside an encrypted zip file without unzipping it, which nautilus allows.   however, opening nautilus, even with a path argument starts a desktop on the monitor I'm using (There are 8 xmonad monitors) The desktop is inoperative and renders that monitor useless until nautilus is killed.  Is there any way to open just a nautilus window without any desktop starting? What is the difference between call and apply? I noticed that, for each research project, there comes a point where I have to consult the literature, and find all the previous research related to the current project.  Unfortunately, I seem to be very inefficient in my approach. I spend a lot of time digging through papers that are really interesting, but only of tangential importance to my current work, just to find the few papers that actually do similar things. (The pile of "cool paper, read when time" just keeps growing.)  Hence, I'm wondering: What is the most time efficient way to get a thorough overview of the literature in a specific niche of a field?    While searching for an answer I came across these questions:   - This question is quite similar and I liked the approach. I debated with myself if this is a duplicate, but I think it is focused more on how to be sure the search was exhaustive, whereas I'm worried about time efficiency. (Also, I'm a bit curious if things have changed since 2012.)   - The answer provides tips on how to identify what literature generally is important in a field, but I am looking for the most cost effective (least time consuming) way to do it in an area, where I know the broad literature, but not the specifics.
