How can I force the ubuntu 16.04 to use all the cores to compile or make opencv 3?  I have found a website to change a cmake file called OpenCVFindLibsPerf.cmake, on this blog   But it did not work! Maybe because I have already TBB  Any idea?  thanks
Quick question: what is the compiler flag to allow g++ to spawn multiple instances of itself in order to compile large projects quicker (for example 4 source files at a time for a multi-core CPU)?
"My wife and I's seafood collaboration dinner" I am considering buying my first DSLR.  How do I know whether I need a 18-200 lens, 17-85, or 18-55? Or something else? Two similar limit problems I have two limit problems which are quite similar, so I've put them both into this post.   $((4^{10}+2^{n})^{\frac{1}{n}})$ $((3n^{2}+n)^{\frac{1}{n}})$   Attempt:  For 1, I'm not sure if this is permissible. I know that $\lim_{n \to \infty}(x^{n}+y^{n})^{\frac{1}{n}} = \max\{x,y\}$. Obviously $4^{10}$ is a constant so it's not quite in the same form, but I believe it is still okay to use this result, and so the limit is $2$.  For 2, I've got $((3n^{2}+n)^{\frac{1}{n}}) = (n(3n+1)^{\frac{1}{n}})$, but then I'm not too sure how to proceed.   I also thought of taking the log and proceeding that way, however in the notes I'm learning from they haven't covered l'hopital yet, so I'm trying to not use it.  Thanks. I have a good intuition that $A$ is independent of $B$ if $P(A \vert B) = P(A)$, and I see how you can easily derive from this that it must hold that $P(A,B) = P(A)P(B)$.    But the first statement is not normally taken as a definition; instead the second is.    What is the intuition, or even derivation behind defining $A$ and $B$ as independent iff $P(A, B) = P(A)(B)$?    The kind of explanation I am looking for would be one similar to that given by Jaynes for the definition of conditional probability in the first chapter of Probability: The Logic of Science, or even a Kolmogorov axiomatic explanation would help. I was wondering if there were any two integers $a$ and $b$ where $a^3=b^2$. Get rid of the question ban on Meta; suspend actively harmful users manually appears to have been question banned because of two unpopular Meta suggestions. (He says so in )  Look at the two contributions that appear to have gotten him banned. Like those of many others, they may not be of perfect quality, but they are not actively harmful to the site, either. As it stands, you can get question blocked on Meta simply for asking questions that aren't popular with the Meta crowd.  Why does the team insist on keeping the question ban active on Meta?  Why can't real problem users be dealt with through manual moderator action? Don't tell me it's a problem of scale; as far as I can see, actually toxic users are very rare on Meta.  People will frequently complain that Meta actively discourages the expression of unpopular viewpoints and suggestions. With the threat of question bans in place, I find those complaints difficult to refute. I hate that. How do you make a torus 'telescope' open? So I have a torus, and I need it to "telescope" open -- kind of like Pacman's death animation, but with a torus instead of a sphere.  I'm very new to 3D modeling/animating so I really have no clue how to tackle this problem.  Any advice to help me get pointed in the right direction would be most appreciated :) I am a permanent resident (U.S) and I'm crossing the border into Mexico and taking a flight to Mexico city. The passport from my home nation is expired and I'm trying to avoid the last minute 500 mile+ trip to the nearest embassy. My question is, can I get on the plane with my green card or state license? or my expired passport and birth certificate? also, can i get the FMM/tourist card with my drivers license? all the official information says i need a valid passport, but other travelers have had different experiences, does it just depend on the officer? I already purchased my flight! Where do files go when you AirDrop them on iOS? Where do AirDrop files go when I transfer them between an iPad, iPhone and iPod? I AirDropped some Google Docs from my iPad to my iPhone but nothing happened; where did my files go? The file was a list of tools. Given three matrices $A$, $B$ and $C$ such that $ABA^T C$ is a square matrix, the derivative of the trace with respect to $A$ is:  $$ \nabla_A \operatorname{trace}( ABA^{T}C )  = CAB + C^T AB^T $$  There is a proof . However, I was not able to understand the second line of the proof. it says something like this:  $$ \nabla_A \operatorname{trace}( ABA^T C )= \nabla_\bullet \operatorname{trace}(f(\bullet)A^{T}C) + \nabla_\bullet \operatorname{trace}(f(A) \bullet^T C) $$  Where  $f(A) = AB$  I tried searching the proof or any hint using google, but I couldn't fine anything. Could anyone please help me with this second line. I cannot sleep. I am obsessed with this proof. Meaning of the word "axiom" Thus, axioms are propositions we assume to be true and we use them in an axiomatic theory as premises to infer conclusions, which are called "theorems" of this theory.  For example, we can use the  to prove theorems of arithmetic.  This is one meaning of the word "axiom". But I recognized that the word "axiom" is also used in quite different contexts.  For example, a group is defined to be an algebraic structure consisting of a set $G$, an operation $G\times G\to G: (a, b)\mapsto ab$, an element $1\in G$ and a mapping $G\to G: a\mapsto a^{-1}$ such that the following conditions, the so-called group axioms, are satisfied:   $\forall a, b, c\in G.\ (ab)c=a(bc)$, $\forall a\in G.\ 1a=a=a1$ and $\forall a\in G.\ aa^{-1}=1=a^{-1}a$.      Why are these conditions (that an algebraic structure has to satisfy to be called a group) called axioms? What have these conditions to do with the word "axiom" in the sense specified above? I am really asking about this modern use of the word "axiom" in mathematical jargon. It would be very interesting to see how the modern use of the word "axiom" historically developed from the original meaning.   Now, let me give more details why it appears to me that the word is being used in two different meanings:  As peter.petrov did, one can argue that group theory is about the conclusions one can draw from the group axioms just as arithmetic is about the conclusions one can draw from the Peano axioms. But in my opinion there is a big difference: while arithmetic is really about natural numbers, the successor operation, addition, multiplication and the "less than" relation, group theory is not just about group elements, the group operation, the identity element and the inverse function. Group theory is rather about models of the group axioms. Thus: The axioms of group theory are not the group axioms, the axioms of group theory are the axioms of set theory.  Theorems of arithmetic can be formalized as sentences over the signature (a. k. a. language) $\{0, s, +, \cdot\}$, while theorems of group theory cannot always be formalized as sentences over the signature $\{\cdot, 1, ^{-1}\}$. Let me give an example: A typical theorem of arithmetic is the case $n=4$ of Fermat's last theorem. It can be formalized as follows over the signature $\{0, s, +, \cdot\}$: $$\neg\exists x\exists y\exists z(x\not = 0\land y\not = 0\land z\not = 0\quad\land\quad x\cdot x\cdot x\cdot x + y\cdot y\cdot y\cdot y = z\cdot z\cdot z\cdot z).$$ A typical theorem of group theory is  which states that for any finite group G, the order of every subgroup H of G divides the order of G. I think that one cannot formalize this theorem as a sentence over the "group theoretic" signature $\{\cdot, 1, ^{-1}\}$; or can one?

Point to be noted: Wireless access points aren't the same as ad hoc networks. They differ significantly. In short, ad hoc networks aren't supported on newer devices and most Android, Windows Phone and Blackberry devices (and maybe iOS devices too), whereas AP mode Wi-Fi hotspots are. To get an idea about AP mode hotspots, ad hoc networks and their difference, refer to . $A,B,C$ are three $n\times n$ matrices such that $A$ has $n$ distinct eigenvalues, $AB=BA$, and $AC=CA$.   We need to show $BC=CB$.  Let $A$ be diagonalizable with eigenvectors say, $v_1,\dots,v_n$, so there exists $P$ such that $PAP^{-1}=D$. What more I can say from the information? Please help.
