I've been messing around in Photoshop trying to re-create this nice effect. Does anyone know how to achieve a straight shadow like this?
I want to make a long shadow just like in this image.  I can create this shadow with shapes and by deleting the unwanted shadows after rasterizing the layer. But it's not very reusable. I can't resize the layer after rasterizing it.  Is there any easy way to make a long shadow like in the image below?
When I place a multipage pdf file into InDesign CC, the pages go outside of my document settings, making this function useless.  What do I have to do to make the placed  pdf pages go within my document settings, which in this case is 11 in. Length X 8.5 in. width, .5 in. margins on all sides, with two columns per page. I would greatly appreciate an answer to this, Thank you. How to Silence the read command The read command is useful when reading data from the user . I am trying to read a number from 1-5 from the user. How can I make it so the input of the user does not show up in the log How do you prove ${n \choose k}$ is maximum when $k$ is $ \lceil \tfrac n2 \rceil$ or $ \lfloor \tfrac n2\rfloor $? I don't want to do this through trial and error, and the best way I have found so far was to start dividing from 1.     $n! = \text {a really big number}$   Ex. $n! = 9999999$   Is there a way to approximate n or solve for n through a formula of some sort?  Update (Here is my attempt):  Stirling's Approximation: $$n! \approx \sqrt{2 \pi n} \left( \dfrac{n}{e} \right ) ^ n$$  So taking the log:     $(2\cdot \pi\cdot n)^{1/2} \cdot n^n \cdot e^{-n}$       $(2\cdot \pi)^{1/2} \cdot n^{1/2} \cdot n^n \cdot e^{-n}$       $.5\log (2\pi) + .5\log n + n\log n \cdot -n \log e$       $.5\log (2\pi) + \log n(.5+n) - n$   Now to solve for n:     $.5\log (2\pi) + \log n(.5+n) - n = r$       $\log n(.5+n) - n = r - .5 \log (2\pi)$   Now I am a little caught up here. How to disable the "Get Windows 10" icon shown in the notification area (tray)? This icon showed up in my taskbar notification area today and I cannot seem to get rid of it:    Clicking on it displays the following screen:    So how do I disable or remove the "Get Windows 10" icon? Can open, unsafe nuclear fusion reaction burn the atmosphere? I happened to hear people saying that the nuclear fusion bomb tests could set the atmosphere on fire. I have some serious doubts about that - but I have no facts. Nuclear fusion reaction requires $15*10^{6}$ kelvins to start. If we produce such temperature in "open air" would the atmosphere become a fuel for further fusion? Shouldn't the whole thing just be torn apart by its terrible pressure? ...And you jumped in.  What would happen when you got to the middle of the Earth? Would you gradually slow down, until you got to the middle and once you were in middle would every direction feel like it was up? How to raise a complex number to the power of another complex number? How do I calculate the outcome of taking one complex number to the power of another, ie  $\displaystyle {(a + bi)}^{(c + di)}$? What ability should be used when resisting Intimidation? During our last play session (it was our second session, so everyone is first level) my fighter dwarf had a conflict with another player's human fighter. My dwarf became annoyed at the human's dismissive reaction to a roar outside the village that sounded like ogres (my dwarf has a bad history with ogres).   So, in order to emphasize the seriousness of this situation, my dwarf grabbed the human by shirtfront and pulled him closer (done with a successful roll). Still bent double, the human drew his sword and pointed it at my dwarf's belly (dwarf wearing chainmail). At this point the DM made the other player roll an Intimidation (Charisma) check, and me a Wisdom check to resist. I lost and my dwarf, chastened, let the human go.  That was pretty funny situation, but one thing is bothering me. By using a Wisdom check against Intimidation (Charisma), my dwarf (who has &minus;1 Wisdom modifier) was at a disadvantage (literally, not in the D&amp;D disadvantage mechanic sense) against the threats. Although he is a strong and capable warrior, he is not that wise.  But I have to wonder: is willpower really represented by Wisdom in 5e? I think that many not-so-wise creatures/characters can stand bravely against threats.  What ability/skill should be used in a contest to resist intimidation? I have an array of integers, how do I use each one in a mysql query (in php)? "did shoot" vs "shot" This morning I read this sentence (see ):     On July 24th and again on July 29th,   Egyptian police did shoot dead unarmed   African migrants attempting to cross   that border.   Why "did shoot" and not "shot"? So, I know that $\max(-X_{(1)},X_{(n)})$ is a sufficient statistic for the parameter $\theta$. But can I also say that $(X_{(1)},X_{(n)})$ are jointly sufficient for the parameter $\theta$ ?  In other words, can a single parameter have jointly sufficient statistics? How to get ObjectContext to compile? You can reach this IP address  (if my computer is online). I want to assign a domain to it so I wonder how is that possible when I have no DNS?

Gollum had his life largely extended because he possessed the One Ring. He appeared to be an old, deformed, and twisted creature.  According to , he had the Ring for 478 years. His loss of the Ring and the events of The Lord of the Rings are separated by around 77 years.  Did the Ring continue to extend his life after he lost it? What would be the sum of the following series?  $$\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{1}{n \cdot 2^n}$$  Thanks How can I access and process nested objects, arrays or JSON? In a multi server architecture, is it possible to find out from which machine a user logged into current machine using ssh?  For example, user1 logged into host1. From there, the user logged into host2 as sruser using ssh.  In above example, would it be possible to trace the sruser session of host2 back to user1 session in host1?  Would it be possible to get the hostname or terminal of user1 session?
