I entered my university a year ago. I am enrolled in the master's thesis program. I wanted to do a thesis  , but none of the faculty in my department who do fluid dynamics have an opening for a new researcher in their group. It seems I wont be able to find a thesis advisor in my subfield. What's my best option in this situation? is it possible to transfer schools a year in?
I am an international student in the US (important as my stay in US is tied to my student visa, issued to attend my current university).  I joined as a grad student in the MS CS program in one of the okayish public universities (ranked ~50 on QS/US news). I joined in Fall '18 and am still in my first semester. I took all the so-called "difficult" courses, but I find them very trivial (considering my undergrad was from a very good university). I am very disappointed with the curriculum and feel the coursework is not at all rigorous for a grad-school.  I might sound super arrogant, but I feel out-of-place when I talk to other students and hear them cringe about how hard the courses are, or how they don't have enough time to finish assignments within the deadlines as I find all of the coursework very trivial and feel that the assignments are a joke.   Fortunately, I am working with one of the best profs the university has to offer on a very impactful project and the research is going great. But that's the only plus point I see from sticking around.  My aim from grad school is to get research experience and join one of the Big 4s or upcoming CS unicorn startups. I cannot see myself joining one of the Big-Ns after graduating since the students from this school rarely bag a Google/Fb/unicorn startup job.  Since December is the Fall'19 admissions deadline, I am thinking about reapplying to those top 10 CS schools which I couldn't get into last year (probably because of my poor undergrad GPA).   On the other hand, since every CS company just asks leetcode-style questions in interviews, I can just be super good at it and try to nail whatever interview I get without wasting another year and then doing the same.  I'm not really interested in any kind of credit transfer either since I would like to start fresh in a more rigorous curriculum.  I'm not sure if switching schools would be a wise decision and could really use some advice from the community here.  PS :  Probably related -   Posting with a dummy account for anonymity.
I'm looking for a Drupal Commerce Shipping in-cart estimate Achieving Super or Subscript graticule labels in QGIS Composer windows? It is quite common for paper topographic maps to label the map graticule with ordinate values in a mixture of superscript and standard digits, eg. ⁴123⁰⁰⁰ to emphasise the significant digits.  The QGIS Map composer allows graticules (termed grids) to be drawn on the map, and the ordinate labels to be customised, but does not recognise HTML tags such as &lt;sup&gt;.  Is there any other way to achieve this effect? Two kinds of Duplicate closing are too confusing - suggestion for a possible fix How would you implement an LRU cache in Java? Please don't say EHCache or OSCache, etc. Assume for purposes of this question that I want to implement my own using just the SDK (learning by doing). Given that the cache will be used in a multithreaded environment, which datastructures would you use? I've already implemented one using  and , but I'm curious if any of the new concurrent collections would be better candidates.  UPDATE: I was just reading through  when I found this nugget:     If you need constant-time access and want to maintain the insertion order, you can't do better than a LinkedHashMap, a truly wonderful data structure. The only way it could possibly be more wonderful is if there were a concurrent version. But alas.   I was thinking almost exactly the same thing before I went with the LinkedHashMap + Collections#synchronizedMap implementation I mentioned above. Nice to know I hadn't just overlooked something.  Based on the answers so far, it sounds like my best bet for a highly concurrent LRU would be to extend  using some of the same logic that LinkedHashMap uses.

What are some of the rule changes that Pathfinder brings in comparison to D&amp;D 3.5?  I am curious what changes were made so I can explain to my group what it has to offer. Find the set of $x>0$ such that the series $\sum\limits_n x^{\ln{n}}$ converges If $x&gt;0$, find the set of all values of $x$ such that series is convergent$$\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} x^{\ln{n}}$$   My attempt:- I used Ratio test for finding the set of all values of $x$ such that series is convergent.   $$\lim_{x\to\infty}\frac{x^{\ln{n+1}}}{x^{\ln{n}}}$$  $$=\lim_{x\to\infty}x^{\ln\frac{n+1}{n}}$$ This quantity must be less than one for getting a convergent series, I am not able to judge.

I understand how the multiplicative inverse is calculated over $GF(2^8)$, but I'm confused by the description of the affine transformation. I haven't been able to Google a good explanation of how the S-Box values are calculated. Can someone explain how this works, starting after the calculation of the multiplicative inverse? The internal storage on my phone is almost full. The storage screen tells me    2.77GB / 2.91 GB taken Apps 0.89GB Other 1.89 GB Available 138MB   What is this "other" and how can I clean it up? I already followed the steps of "make more space", it barely makes a difference.   Phone Storage then tells me 43.00MB / 1.09GB is taken.  And on the SD card I have 1.86GB / 14.72GB taken.  I have plenty of storage in various places yet when I try to install apps I'm unable to do so cause of "insufficient storage". How can I fix this?

On a Debian Stretch and testing/Buster system with a current kernel and installed microcode I still see meltdown and spectre listed as bugs in /proc/cpuinfo.  However, running the spectre-meltdown-checker shows not vulnerable.   So I'm wondering what /proc/cpuinfo does show. Are these just the vulnerabilities for this cpu and will those always be listed despite having a patched system? How to change the size of desktop icons? I tried gconf-editor as given at  .

Why isn’t the definite article used in "The commission commanded that work [...] should cease"? In this sentence:     The commission commanded that work on the building should cease.   Why isn't the used before the word work? It seems that the work is specified by on the building.  Another example is,     Construction of the building will start next week.   I understand construction here is something like putting up the building, and so the construction isn’t general in meaning. But the definite article isn’t used here, either.  I’ve asked about this several times, but none gave me a good answer.

Netgear WNA3100 wifi dongle not recognized I was up late working with my red LED headlamp on and when I was looking at the black part of my LCD (Apple Retina Macbook Pro) screen I noticed this interesting diffraction pattern. I'm confused because all I can think of that would cause this are Fourier and Fraunhofer patterns which I thought required more advanced optics the light to be collimated. One friend suggested it might be the polarizer. Any thoughts?  Unfortunately, the picture doesn't show this, but along the x and y axes there were discrete points not a continuous streak.
