While seeing revisions of a post, there are three options inline, side-by-side and side-by-side markdown for every revision:        And every revision has link facility to share/link:    But the revision page (site.se.com/revisions/post-id/no.of revision) that is opened by mentioned link has no/missing options like inline, side-by-side or side-by-side.  While sharing link of one revision, I found that user to which link is share will not be able to know what is edited/revised at all.  So, I think it is better to provide such options/feature i.e inline, side-by-side or side-by-side for effective vision of revision.
Currently, the only way to link to a revision (clicking "link"), you just get  which shows what the post looked like at that revision:        Personally, I rarely use this and haven't ever found myself in a scenario (as far as I remember) where I would prefer the way it currently works to what I'm suggesting here.  Could we:   Add another link, or Change the current link   Such that it:   Displays the diff on a separate page (I'd prefer this, since the highlight and scroll thing doesn't always work properly - although perhaps it has something to do with loading images, so it might not apply here, or, if it doesn't, we could fix that instead), or          Highlights and scrolls to a diff, like what is done when you link to an answer ()
What should I do when the GETDEB repository is down? I'm trying to install programs/files from the getdeb repo but get a "check your internet connection" error.  Programs than I've tried include Qbittorrent and Mozilla-Plugin-VLC.    Through the terminal I get the following errors:  Err http://archive.getdeb.net/ubuntu/ natty-getdeb/apps qbittorrent amd64 2.8.2-1~getdeb2   Could not connect to archive.getdeb.net:80 (209.105.191.78). - connect (113: No route to host) E: Failed to fetch http://archive.getdeb.net/ubuntu/pool/apps/q/qbittorrent/qbittorrent_2.8.2-1~getdeb2_amd64.deb: Could not connect to archive.getdeb.net:80 (209.105.191.78). - connect (113: No route to host)   &amp;  Err http://archive.getdeb.net/ubuntu/ natty-getdeb/apps mozilla-plugin-vlc amd64 1.1.10-1~getdeb1   Could not connect to archive.getdeb.net:80 (209.105.191.78). - connect (113: No route to host) E: Failed to fetch http://archive.getdeb.net/ubuntu/pool/apps/v/vlc/mozilla-plugin-vlc_1.1.10-1~getdeb1_amd64.deb: Could not connect to archive.getdeb.net:80 (209.105.191.78). - connect (113: No route to host)   I'm not having any problems adding/removing other programs/files from my machine.  Is there a problem with GETDEB repo (and if so, is there any way to fix it on my end) or is there something wrong with my computer's configuration? This is a neat little problem that I was discussing today with my lab group out at lunch. Not particularly difficult but interesting implications nonetheless  Imagine there are a 100 people in line to board a plane that seats 100. The first person in line realizes he lost his boarding pass so when he boards he decides to take a random seat instead. Every person that boards the plane after him will either take their "proper" seat, or if that seat is taken, a random seat instead.  Question: What is the probability that the last person that boards will end up in his/her proper seat.  Moreover, and this is the part I'm still pondering about. Can you think of a physical system that would follow this combinatorial statistics? Maybe a spin wave function in a crystal etc... I have two passports/nationalities. How do I use them when I travel? I am a citizen of two different countries, and have two passports.  How should I use my passports when traveling? For example, here are top five accounts in each site (this picture was taken when I was in Biology SE).    As you can see, all the badges are DNA, while Academia's badges should be hats, so on.  What do you think? Received an email intended for another person I'm not really sure how email routing works, but someone ordered something on Amazon and I received the email instead of them.  Or maybe we both got it, I don't know.  The order doesn't show up in my account, so I'm certain I wasn't charged for it, but I shouldn't be getting other peoples' emails.  We'll say that my email is johndoe1@gmail.com, and somebody who's email is john.doe1@gmail.com places an order on Amazon.  The confirmation email is sent to me at johndoe1@gmail.com.  I checked the email header, and it did say To: john.doe1@gmail.com which is not my email address.  At first I thought that Google ignores periods in email addresses, but I tested the account setup and it doesn't give any error when you put a period in the address.  I didn't create the account; I just used the "check availability" function and the address I chose with a period was fine.  Maybe someone with knowledge about how Email works could tell me why this happened.  Is this a bug in the way Amazon sends emails?  Or is it a bug in how Google receives them?  Who should I report this issue to? I've encountered a particular type of writing occasionally and it being, derp, in writing, it's hard to tell whether there's an accent behind it. The English used seems to me to be simply incorrect, but I can't help but feel that the following features are part of a dialect or a regional style of English. One of the most glaring (and grating) features is the substitution of &quot;saw&quot; with &quot;seen&quot;.  He seen him at the shop the other day. I seen that you were looking for... etc.  The use of &quot;away (to)&quot; is also peculiar, if not incorrect.  He was away to open the door when... He was away to get what he had asked for. etc.  I haven't come across these forms very often, and even then it was accompanied by otherwise mostly correct English, which is what makes me wonder what the hell. This is more intellectual curiosity than anything else. How can I clear event subscriptions in C#? Take the following C# class:  c1 {  event EventHandler someEvent; }   If there are a lot of subscriptions to c1's someEvent event and I want to clear them all, what is the best way to achieve this? Also consider that subscriptions to this event could be/are lambdas/anonymous delegates.  Currently my solution is to add a ResetSubscriptions() method to c1 that sets someEvent to null. I don't know if this has any unseen consequences. Although I have installed the OpenLayers plugin in QGIS 2.4, I cannot see it in the list when I click on Plugins.    Does anyone else have this issue? Ubuntu 18.04 can't resume after hibernate Hibernate worked correctly when I had been using Ubuntu 17.04. After upgrade to 17.10 I couldn't resume because of black screen after resume ().   After upgrade to 18.04 if I try to start my computer after hibernation it boots as if there was no hibernation done. Probability that $m$ balls will fall into first box Suppose we have $n$ balls that are randomly distributed into $N$ boxes. Find the probability that $m$ balls will fall into the first box. Assume that all $N^m$ arrangements are equally likely.  Attempt: First, we notice that for the first box, we have $n$ choices, and for the second box we also have $n$ choices, and so on. Thus, we have $n^N$ ways to place the balls into the boxes. Pick $m$ balls out of the total $n$ balls, that gives ${n \choose m}$. In how many ways can these $m$ balls go into the first box? Well, in just ${1 \choose 1 }= 1 $ ways. Thus, $$ P = \frac{ {n \choose m } }{n^N } $$ Is this correct? Is there a difference between "" and {} in BibTeX? Equivalent of String.format in jQuery Very hot network questions found Often assignments (or even papers) have a word count limit. That is not a big deal when using Word, but I don't know how to do that using LaTeX. My solution has been so far to compile the document and then do a rough word count of my pdf file, sometimes even copying the contents of the pdf file and pasting in Word to get a mostly correct Word count.  Is there any tool (maybe even an online tool), package, script or software to do that directly from my .tex document and still get the right word count (i.e., ignore commands, equations, etc)? How can I make ffmpeg be quieter/less verbose? By default ffmpeg sends a whole lot of messages to stderr: when built, how it was built, codecs, etc, etc, etc.  How can I make it quieter?  I've tried -v 0 (and -v 10 since the documentation just coyly says Set the logging verbosity level. with no indication of what the range of inputs is) -- still not quiet.  I've tried -loglevel quiet -- still not quiet.  I should mention, I'm looking for "quieter," not "no output ever".  If there's an error I want to see it, but I don't need to hear about ffmpeg's configuration every. single. time. Characterization convex function. Let $f:[0,1]\rightarrow\mathbb{R}$ be a continuous function such that for all $a,b\in [0,1]$ with $a&lt;b$ $$f\left(\frac{a+b}{2}\right)\leq\frac{1}{b-a}\int_a^b f(x)\,dx.$$ How to prove that $f$ is a convex function? Thank you for your help. How to limit current of an AC signal For my project, I'm trying to work with the principle of electrovibration. This principle is about simulating textures using low current electricity on an insulated conductive surface ().  In order to do this, I will be experimenting with generated AC signals of 80 to 160 Vpp at 60Hz to 400Hz. I will do this by using an DC - AC converter, usually used for EL lamp applications.  My only concern is how to limit the current coming from the converter. Are the techniques for limiting AC current the same as DC, by using a simple resistor? Or is it, as I expect, more complex?  I need to limit the current to 0.5mA, for safety reasons. How can I revert a config file back to the originally installed version after I have edited it? This came up to me while I was reading the question about Magical being using firearms in battle to raise their power (which I think I have a good answer for, but it's too long to fit in this question... and it would also be inappropriate).  Anyways, I was reading it and then the following thought came into my mind: If wizards decided to use guns on their battles (the ones agains Voldemort for instance), that would create that opening for much bigger battles than we see in the books (after all even a muggle can fire a gun, so lots of guns + the Imperio curse, and presto manifesto (is that racist? talking about wizards and all) you have yourself an army). Those kinds of battles, however, would most definitely not go unnoticed by the muggles - even though they wouldn't be able to link it to magic.  Well, that thought brought up my one and final question, which I bring forth to you guys. Is there any mention on how the Wizards and Witches viewed the two world wars (which had taken part by the time Harry got to Hogwarts, and which he had probably heard about in muggle school), and what was the Wizards' part in it? What about the cold war? Did the magical world even recognise the existence of weapons such as nukes, which could render all life on earth extinct?  EDIT  DVK has brought up an  regarding the connections between the Second World War and the wizarding world (more specifically, the wizard Grindelwald). Although it doesn't fully answer my question, it does help by showing that there was indeed some form of connection between the two world at the time. LibreOffice problem while openning a document My problem is that when I try to open one specific .odt document, I can't move the page or do anything except moving the mouse, which is useless. Also, the mouse, when I'm on the document, is freaking out switching between mouse and loader couple of times per second. It also becomes dark when I click on the document like if it's not responding.
