I want to know the meaning of these strings drwxr-xr-x and drwxrwxr- that appear in the terminal.
Can you explain briefly the main concepts and command line tools used to manage file permissions?
Why doesn't the command "ls | file" work? I've been studying about the command line and learned that | (pipeline) is meant to redirect the output from a command to the input of another one. So why does the command ls | file doesn't work?  file input is one of more filenames, like file filename1 filename2  ls output is a list of directories and files on a folder, so I thought ls | file was supposed to show the file type of every file on a folder.  When I use it however, the output is:      Usage: file [-bcEhikLlNnprsvz0] [--apple] [--mime-encoding] [--mime-type]         [-e testname] [-F separator] [-f namefile] [-m magicfiles] file ...     file -C [-m magicfiles]     file [--help]   As there was some error with the usage of the file command Javascript for multiple elements Why does my item name not show up in 1.13? I am in 1.13 Pre-Release 7 trying to make a one command creation and I need an item with a specific name. The command I use is /give @p diamond_sword{display:{Name:"Sword of Power"}} and it gives my a diamond sword, but it doesn't have the name.   This is me running the command.   This is the command not working. Can I backup my entire Ubuntu installation to ISO DVD? I seen many times how people describe how to's about LBP-2900, and 10-12 steps from start to end of how to download, unpack, build driver, fix driver, make it work... Could be there some .deb package with ready-to-go driver for Ubuntu? This printer is very popular... Array versus List: When to use which? MyClass[] array; List&lt;MyClass&gt; list;   What are the scenarios when one is preferable over the other? And why? Head or tail sound fine to my ESL ears.  What's the reasoning behind the plural usage?  I looked it up on etymonline but didn't find anything interesting. I am confused. I don't understand the difference a ARMA and a GARCH process.. to me there are the same no ?  Here is the (G)ARCH(p, q) process  $$\sigma_t^2 =      \underbrace{     \underbrace{      \alpha_0       + \sum_{i=1}^q \alpha_ir_{t-i}^2}     _{ARCH}        + \sum_{i=1}^p\beta_i\sigma_{t-i}^2}     _{GARCH}$$  And here is the ARMA($p, q$):  $$ X_t = c + \varepsilon_t +  \sum_{i=1}^p \varphi_i X_{t-i} + \sum_{i=1}^q \theta_i \varepsilon_{t-i}.\,$$  Is the ARMA simply an extension of the GARCH, GARCH being used only for returns and with the assumption $r = \sigma\varepsilon$ where $\varepsilon$ follows a strong white process? In plain English, how does casting spells and using creature abilities work with the stack and priority? I'm a relatively new player to Magic: the Gathering. I was reading  to try to understand exactly when it's okay to cast instants (e.g. ) and use some abilities (e.g.  should be tappable sometime during other peoples' turns), but I don't seem to be making much progress: as I come to understand some things, others make less sense.  My confusion is boundless  For instance: to cast  one needs priority. Spells go on the stack, and priority gets passed at some points (I have no idea when), and effects on the stack are resolved when both players have passed priority. But when is that? I can't find any mention of when the other player gets the priority to cast an instant, except on their own turn. Furthermore,  states that during the Main Phase:     505.4. Second, the active player gets priority. Players may cast spells and activate abilities. The active player may play a land.   So players (plural) may cast spells, but only the active player has priority, so only the active player can cast an instant. The turn rules, and the rules on , never mention any point at which the other player gets priority, so when can they possibly Cancel?  In addition, you can only cast a spell when the stack is empty, so the entire stack must be able to be resolved in your turn at some point.  I need an explanation!  I could go on a bit more. There is also  which can be overloaded to "Counter each spell you don't control", which seems like it could only possibly work with an understanding of the stack.  Could someone explain, in simple English:   When can Instants be cast? When can tap abilities be used? What do Instants and abilities have to do with the Stack and Priority? What's the current state of LaTeX3 (2020)? There are a few questions on this forum asking about why Latex3 is taking so long to come out. However, all of these are from the early 2010s. I'm just wondering what the current state of the project is and whether it's ready (or nearly ready) for prime time? How to compare a program's version in a shell script? Suppose I want to compare gcc version to see whether the system has the minimum version installed or not.  To check the gcc version, I executed the following  gcc --version | head -n1 | cut -d" " -f4   The output was  4.8.5   So, I wrote a simple if statement to check this version against some other value  if [ "$(gcc --version | head -n1 | cut -d" " -f4)" -lt 5.0.0 ]; then     echo "Less than 5.0.0" else     echo "Greater than 5.0.0" fi   But it throws an error:  [: integer expression expected: 4.8.5   I understood my mistake that I was using strings to compare and the -lt requires integer. So, is there any other way to compare the versions? Encode URL in JavaScript? Adjectives and nouns to describe an answer that doesn't answer the question? I've heard of the adjectives 'nonresponsive' or , but are they restricted to law^?     Collins Dictionary:  =       not responsive, not reacting to a stimulus   The definition above differs from the definitions of adjectives like 'equivocate,  evade' and nouns like , but these are negative and accusive; I prefer neutral connotation.  ^Only if you wish, please see: ,  by David Berg,  by Thomas A. Mauet. Pretty printing XML with javascript Linux "top" command: What are us, sy, ni, id, wa, hi, si and st (for CPU usage)? When I issue top in Linux, I get a result similar to this:    One of the lines has CPU usage information represented like this:  Cpu(s): 87.3%us,  1.2%sy,  0.0%ni, 27.6%id,  0.0%wa,  0.0%hi,  0.0%si,  0.0%st   While I know the definitions of each of them (far below), I don't understand what these tasks exactly mean.   hi - what does servicing hardware interrupts mean? si - what does servicing software interrupts mean? st - they say it's the "CPU time in involuntary wait by the virtual CPU while hypervisor is servicing another processor (or) % CPU time stolen from a virtual machine".   But what does it actually mean? Can someone be more clear?  I listed all of us, sy, ni, etc, because it could help others searching for the same. This information is not in the man pages.  us: user cpu time (or) % CPU time spent in user space sy: system cpu time (or) % CPU time spent in kernel space ni: user nice cpu time (or) % CPU time spent on low priority processes id: idle cpu time (or) % CPU time spent idle wa: io wait cpu time (or) % CPU time spent in wait (on disk) hi: hardware irq (or) % CPU time spent servicing/handling hardware interrupts si: software irq (or) % CPU time spent servicing/handling software interrupts st: steal time - - % CPU time in involuntary wait by virtual cpu while hypervisor is servicing another processor (or) % CPU time stolen from a virtual machine Layover in Europe to the US - allowed? Python - email header decoding UTF-8 I just bought all the ingredients to make a soup in the crock pot. I was planning on having it cook all day, but I just realized the recipe only calls for it to cook on low for 3-4 hours. If I cook it on low for 3-4 hours, and then put it on warm before I leave for work, will it be a bacteria minefield or will it be warm enough to keep the food safe from bacteria? Add new alias to Gmail without SMTP (forwarding-only address) I used to be able to go to Accounts and Import → Add another email address you own and add an email account that's only a forwarding address. That is, it's not a mailbox and I don't have SMTP access to it.  Gmail would send me a confirmation email to that address, I'd confirm it's mine, and done. Now it only gives me the option to add SMTP credentials.  Did they stop supporting the previous method? Is there any other way I can get that option back?
