This does not happen frequently, but see for example:     I'm sorry for this duplication, but is there a better way to put your post on 2 different sites, without this stupid duplication?
Over the past couple of days there have been a few questions about overlapping proposals and questions that could belong on multiple sites:        What is the best practice before / after asking a question if you think your question might be better on another site?  or  If I think my question might belong on multiple sites as per the above posts?
I'm new to Ubuntu. I tried installing it with Windows 8.1, but failed I lost all my files.  I have successfully formatted my PC and installed Ubuntu, but how do I install codecs to play audio and videos files ? How to calculate stays against 90/180 visa rules? Some destinations have a "90/180 rule" which says you can come and go but you must not spend over 90 days out of any 180 days in the area.  concerns this rule.  At least Schengen and Turkey have this rule, probably depending on where the traveller is from and what kind of visa they apply for.  Maybe I'm a dummy but I've always had a lot of trouble trying to add up how many days I've spent in such places when I've entered and left several times over recent months.  Is there an easy way to do this I'm missing or is it difficult for everybody? I'm guessing something based on counting backwards from the end date might be the trick?  Maybe you know of an app or website that can do this for you. How do I evaluate several n-th derivatives of a function at one point? Graph with Cycle and Two-Colorable i think if the graph G has an odd cycle, it's not two-colorable, otherwise it can be two colorable.   i read in one notes that the following is True: we couldent two-colorable any graph G that has cycle.    anyone could clarify me ? Why do bridge non-Captain officers commonly go on away missions? Ever since the days of Kirk, Spock, and McCoy, bridge officers in Starfleet have always had a prominent role in away team missions.  However, it would seem more logical to me that such hazardous (and, generally, specialized) duties should fall to lower-ranking and/or more dedicated teams.  Of course, it wouldn't have made for great TV if every away team was comprised of a bunch of red-shirts.  And it would definitely increase the show's budget to have an extra group of main characters whose sole purpose was to handle the away missions.  Still, I'm curious to know if there's ever been a real in-universe explanation for this practice?  I know it's been brought up a few times, in a few series/movies, that the Captain should not be taking part in hazardous away team missions.  But nothing is ever said (that I'm aware of) of the rest of the still valuable bridge crew or other senior officers. Is it appropriate to use a question mark at the end of a compound sentence where the first independent clause is a question but the second is a statement? For example:     Do you want attribution for that quotation, because I'm definitely sharing it and want to know if I should give you credit?   or      Do you want attribution for that quotation, because I'm definitely sharing it and want to know if I should give you credit.   I suppose this could work, but it's a little niche, as the second clause might not always be appropriate for a parenthetical.     Do you want attribution for that quotation (because I'm definitely sharing it and want to know if I should give you credit)? Test for finite variance? Is it possible to test for finiteness (or existence) of the variance of a random variable given a sample? As a null, either {the variance exists and is finite} or {the variance does not exist/is infinite} would be acceptable. Philosophically (and computationally), this seems very strange because there should be no difference between a population without finite variance, and one with a very very large variance (say > $10^{400}$), so I am not hopeful this problem can be solved.  One approach that had been suggested to me was via the Central Limit Theorem: assuming the samples are i.i.d., and the population has finite mean, one could check, somehow, whether the sample mean has the right standard error with increasing sample size. I'm not sure I believe this method would work, though. (In particular, I don't see how to make it into a proper test.) How long can cooked food be safely stored at room/warm temperature? If I leave fully-cooked food (particularly meat) out at warm temperature - say on the counter or in a crock pot that's been turned off -  how long will it stay safe to eat?  Does it make any difference if I re-cook the food afterward? induction proof: $\sum_{k=1}^nk^2 = \frac{n(n+1)(2n+1)}{6}$ I encountered the following induction proof on a practice exam for calculus:  $$\sum_{k=1}^nk^2 = \frac{n(n+1)(2n+1)}{6}$$  I have to prove this statement with induction.  Can anyone please help me with this proof? Detect if a method was overridden using Reflection (C#) Memory allocation for member functions in C++ I have a Python script which takes as input a list of integers, which I need to work with four integers at a time.  Unfortunately, I don't have control of the input, or I'd have it passed in as a list of four-element tuples.  Currently, I'm iterating over it this way: for i in range(0, len(ints), 4):     # dummy op for example code     foo += ints[i] * ints[i + 1] + ints[i + 2] * ints[i + 3]  It looks a lot like &quot;C-think&quot;, though, which makes me suspect there's a more pythonic way of dealing with this situation.  The list is discarded after iterating, so it needn't be preserved.  Perhaps something like this would be better? while ints:     foo += ints[0] * ints[1] + ints[2] * ints[3]     ints[0:4] = []  Still doesn't quite &quot;feel&quot; right, though.  :-/ Related question: Override iTunes "media" keys (play, pause, etc) for Spotify? "Infamous" for an event I'd like a couple of Atmega328s to run the same program, but they're going to interface with each other and need unique IDs.

I can open the setting where there are an X and Y button and a few other properties, like opacity and distance.  I'm pretty sure the problem is that I need to enter the proper X and Y coordinate here, but I don't know how to get to where it lets you enter the coordinates. Is there a one-liner that allows me to create a directory and move into it at the same time? I find myself repeating a lot of:  mkdir longtitleproject cd longtitleproject   Is there a way of doing it in one line without repeating the directory name? I'm on bash here.
