The behavior I'm hoping to find an English word for is characterized by a person saying something bitingly aggressive/hurtful/manipulative, but is then followed by something like "I hope you didn't take that seriously" or "I was only joking", but is in fact supposed to be taken as a serious statement/threat.  Given this example dialog, what word best describes the behavior of Person A:          >     Person A: You know you can come to me for anything, I'm here for you. I know you want to take over the team.          >     Person B: Thank you! I appreciate that, it seems that management finds that I'm a nice fit for the role.          >     Person A: Well you know that I'm in charge, and that if you want to take this new position, you'll have to go through me. I don't like outsiders telling me what to do, and you're nothing special. I'd do anything to get you fired.          >     Person B: *confused and shocked look*          >     Person A: I'm only kidding! Don't take things so seriously! Jeeze some people are so sensitive...
Passive aggressive people will sometimes veil insulting, critical, derogatory or generally aggressive comments with humor. The patina of humor makes the comment seem like a joke, not to be taken seriously, all in good fun, and it safeguards the aggressive person. If someone gets offended, they are being too serious, can't take a joke, and so they cannot voice their upset without seeming to be the one escalating the situation, when in fact it was the aggressor who did that.   This behavior seems to lie on a spectrum. On one side are comments which are simultaneously aggressive and genuinely funny (though of course both, especially the latter, are fairly subjective). On the other side would be lame attempts at the behavior, something like "you are fat!... just joking!" in which nothing in the tone or delivery signals a register of humor. In the middle of the spectrum, I imagine, are aggressive statements genuinely delivered as jokes. Their register signals that they are jokes, but they are aggressive rather than funny. They are aggressive comments masquerading as jokes.      A friend once called this "joking on the square", but I have never heard or seen this phrase. This type of comment is both pervasive and psychologically subtle and in my experience there is often an exact word describing such things. If not a word, is there an astute phrase which cuts to the heart of this?

Start modal operator from a click in panel I want to start a modal operator by clicking a button in a panel in the properties region. It should then stop when I click somewhere in the 3D viewport.

Why do clocks measure arc-length? Apologies in advance for the long question.  My understanding is that in GR, massive observers move along timelike curves $x^\mu(\lambda)$, and if an observer moves from point $x^\mu(\lambda_a)$ to $x^\mu(\lambda_b)$, then his clock will measure that an amount of time $t_{ba}$ given by the curve's arc length; $$   t_{ba} = \int_{\lambda_a}^{\lambda_b}d\lambda \sqrt{-g_{\mu\nu}(x(\lambda))\dot x^\mu(\lambda)\dot x^\nu(\lambda)} $$ will have elapsed where $g_{\mu\nu}$ is a metric on spacetime with signature $(-,+,+,+)$.    Why is this so?     Here is how I would attempt to justify this fact in special relativity with $g_{\mu\nu} = \eta_{\mu\nu}$.  Consider an inertial observer $O$ in $\mathbb R^{3,1}$, and suppose that this observer sees a clock, which I'll call observer $O'$ moving around on a curve $x^\mu(\lambda)$.  If $O'$ were also an inertial observer, then given any event with coordinates $x^\mu$ as measured by $O$, observer $O'$ would measure the coordinates of the event to be $x'^\mu = \Lambda^\mu_{\phantom\mu\nu} x^\nu + x_0^\mu$ for some Lorentz transformation $\Lambda$.  If $O'$ is not inertial, then this is no longer true, and there is some more complicated family of transformations, say $T_\lambda$ between events as seen by both observers.  I would argue, however, that if we were to partition the interval $[\lambda_a, \lambda_b]$ into a large number $N$ of intervals $I_1=[\lambda_a, \lambda_i], \dots, I_N=[\lambda_{N-1}, \lambda_b]$ with $\lambda_n = \lambda_a+n\epsilon_N$ and $\epsilon_N=(\lambda_b-\lambda_a)/N$, then on each interval $I_n$, $O'$ is approximately an inertial observer in the sense that $$   T_{\lambda_n} = P_n + \mathcal O(\epsilon_N), \qquad (\star) $$ for some Poincare transformation $P_n$.  Then we would note that since $O'$ is stationary in his own reference frame, he measures his worldline to have the property $\dot x'^\mu(\lambda) = (\dot t(\lambda), \mathbf 0)$ so that $$   I_{ba}=\int_{\lambda_a}^{\lambda_b}d\lambda \,\sqrt{-\eta_{\mu\nu}\dot x'^\mu\dot x'^\mu} = \int_{\lambda_a}^{\lambda_b} d\lambda \, \sqrt{\dot t^2} = t(\lambda_b) - t(\lambda_a) = t_{ba} $$ On the other hand the integral on the left can be written as a Riemann sum using the partition above, and we can invoke ($\star$) above to get \begin{align}   I_{ba}  &amp;= \lim_{N\to\infty}\left[\sum_{n=1}^N \epsilon_N\sqrt{-\eta_{\mu\nu}\dot x'^\mu(\lambda_n)\dot x'^\nu(\lambda_n)}\right] \notag\\ &amp;= \lim_{N\to\infty}\left[\sum_{n=1}^N \epsilon_N\sqrt{-\eta_{\mu\nu}\dot x^\mu(\lambda_n)\dot x^\nu(\lambda_n)} + \mathcal{O}(\epsilon_N^2)\right] \notag\\ &amp;= \int_{\lambda_a}^{\lambda_b}d\lambda \,\sqrt{-\eta_{\mu\nu}\dot x^\mu\dot x^\mu} \end{align} Combining these two computations gives the desired result.  How do others feel about this argument?  I'm not completely comfortable with it because of the assumption $(\star)$ I made on $T_\lambda$.  I imagine that in GR a similar argument could be made by invoking local flatness of the metric. I'm looking to view and archive all my old DMs in Twitter, since I would like to revive conversations that took place 1 year ago.  Acording to Twitter they don't delete old messages, they simply archive them in their database.  Is there a way to view and download all of these messages, just like you can view all your old public tweets with third party apps?

Linux ACL behaviour: settings the mask changes 'ls' output, but not actual permissions It might be the time of night, but this is puzzling me. Picture the following.  [root@node1 acltest]# getfacl foo/ # file: foo # owner: root # group: testuser user::rwx group::r-x other::---  [root@node1 acltest]# ls -la . total 24 drwxr-xr-x  3 root root     4096 Feb  9 21:53 . drwxr-xr-x 25 root root     4096 Feb  9 21:54 .. drwxr-x---  2 root testuser 4096 Feb  9 21:53 foo [root@node1 acltest]# setfacl -m m::rwx foo [root@node1 acltest]# getfacl foo/ # file: foo # owner: root # group: testuser user::rwx group::r-x mask::rwx other::---  [root@node1 acltest]# ls -la . total 24 drwxr-xr-x   3 root root     4096 Feb  9 21:53 . drwxr-xr-x  25 root root     4096 Feb  9 21:54 .. drwxrwx---+  2 root testuser 4096 Feb  9 21:53 foo [root@node1 acltest]# su - testuser [testuser@node1 ~]$ cd /acltest/foo/ [testuser@node1 foo]$ ls -la . total 16 drwxrwx---+ 2 root testuser 4096 Feb  9 21:53 . drwxr-xr-x  3 root root     4096 Feb  9 21:53 .. [testuser@node1 foo]$ touch bar touch: cannot touch `bar': Permission denied   In words: I create a directory foo, with mode 0750, root as owner and testuser as the group. (testuser is the private group of testuser, but that doesn't matter.)  The getfacl command correctly shows no ACL's on this directory and there is not mask yet. The mask will be set accordingly to the group permissions if I would add a named group or user now.  If I explicitly set the mask to rwx now, the group permissions as shown by ls change too. I know it happens the other way around (the mask changes when the group permissions change), but this seems puzzling.  The more puzzling because the getfacl output does not show the group permissions as rwx but - as said - ls does.  Which one is right? Apparently, the output of getfacl is right, because testuser cannot write to foo. As expected, by the way, because I did not grant the testuser group any permissions to do so.  It goes on. I cannot allow the testuser group write permissions on foo by just using chmod. I have to explicitly set an ACL using setfacl -m g:testuser:rwx foo to allow testuser to finally touch foo/bar.   Can someone explain the rationale behind the difference in the outputs of getfacl and ls? I know it can be tricky to have normal permissions go together with ACL's, but this seems plain wrong. (Though I expect to be missing something glaringly obvious ;))  I have already seen What is the difference between .pem, .csr, .key and .crt and other such file extensions?

Can a Ranger select two humanoid races as their favored enemies at 6th and 14th levels? In D&amp;D 5e, the Ranger can choose at first level to have a Favored Enemy of a single broad type (i.e. fiends, giants, aberrations, etc.) or of two different specific humanoids (such as orcs and gnolls). They gain additional Favored Enemies at 6th and 14th level.  At each of those levels, could they opt to pick two humanoid races? Or would the choice be between one type and one specific humanoid?  Relevant text:     Choose a type of favored enemy: aberrations, beasts, celestials,   constructs, dragons, elementals, fey, fiends, giants, monstrosities,   oozes, plants, or undead. Alternatively, you can select two races of   humanoid (such as gnolls and orcs) as favored enemies.   And:     You choose one additional favored enemy, as well as an associated   language, at 6th and 14th level.   (Both quotes from PHB, pg 91.)  Specifically, I'm wondering whether "one additional favored enemy" means one absolutely, or whether the "Alternatively..." sentence means that two humanoid races can be substituted for one type whenever you select a favored enemy. Comprehensive list of tools that simplify the generation of LaTeX tables Manually hacking tables in LaTeX is one of the less funny things when preparing a document. Naturally, there are quite a few tools that promise to simplify this. In fact, I have somewhat lost track of all the tools available, and I'd like to gather your valuable experience into one big post. Some of the tools are mentioned in , but I feel there's much more around.  I'd suggest that somebody starts an overview with an alphabetic list (so that I can accept this answer and it stays on top), and that everyone replies with a "community wiki" entry, one reply per tool, and inserts the tool into the list.  Personally, I use Excel2LaTeX, but I'm unhappy with having to fire up Windows in order to generate the LaTeX code. I'm thinking of a rewrite as a standalone Python tool using the xlrd library, but I'm not too inclined to reinvent the wheel.

How to enforce sender address to be "logged-in-user@example.org" in Postfix? I have set up a Postfix server with SMTP AUTH (STARTTLS on port 587). All my users are in the domain "example.org". I want to enforce the sender address to be "logged-in-user@example.org".  I learned that this can be achieved with the main.cf options  smtpd_sender_restrictions = reject_sender_login_mismatch, ... smtpd_sender_login_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/smtpd_sender_login_maps   with a login_maps file like:  a@example.org a b@example.org b c@example.org c ...   (see also ), but this would mean I'll have to edit the login_maps file every time I have a new user. I don't need such a flexible mapping: It should always be "logged-in-user@example.org". Is there an easier option?
