I have an older HP netbook and am looking for a 32-bit version of Ubuntu 18.04 desktop. Can you advise if one is available?
As mentioned in the , Ubuntu 18.04 LTS will not have a 32 bit Desktop Image Installer. But in the  it has  32bit Desktop Images.  This is little off topic, but I'm confused.

How to set security options for a PDF using pdflatex Finding the fallacy in this broken proof Today, a friend gave me a "proof" of $1=2$ and challenged me to find the fallacy.     $1 = 1$      $1 = 1 + 0 + 0 + 0 ...$      $1 = 1 + 1 - 1 + 1 - 1 + 1 - 1 ...$      $1 = 2 - 1 + 1 - 1 + 1 - 1 ...$      $1 = 2 + 0 + 0 ...$      $1 = 2$   My answer was that once you turn the initial $1 + 1$ into a 2, everything is offset so a $-1$ is always left at the end no matter how many times it is repeated. This negative one balances out the $2$ at the beginning so $1=1$ still holds true. I.e.  $$1 = 1 + 0 + 0 + 0 ... = 1 + (1 - 1) + (1 - 1) + (1 - 1) = 2 + (-1 + 1) + (-1 + 1) - 1$$  However, my friend claimed that my answer only applies if the $+ 1 - 1$ repeats for a finite number of times. He argues that because the sequence repeats infinitely and things work differently when working with infinity, my answer is not valid.  Can anyone enlighten me to the true fallacy in this proof? I accidentaly forbid SSH connection to a remote server... What's next? Let's say it again, we all make mistakes, and I have just made one.  A brief history: I was doing some stuff on a VPS (Debian) I'm renting, when I noticed some strange behaviour. Using the netstat command I saw an non-authorized connection through SSH. I didn't know what to do, so I decided to close his connection using iptables:  iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport ssh -s IP -j DROP   But I am tired, and I wrote  iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport ssh -j DROP   and I kicked myself (and everyone else) out...

Optional Android notifications for reputation changes I would like to get a notification if my reputation count has changed. I think there is already some internal API for that.

I'm working with jQuery and looking to see if there is an easy way to determine if the element has a specific CSS class associated with it.  I have the id of the element, and the CSS class that I'm looking for.  I just need to be able to, in an if statement, do a comparison based on the existence of that class on the element. How can I distribute a native executable for a Python program? Lately all of my work has been in Python (and Ruby), and I'm in love with those two languages. There are many libraries for game development on Python but the problem I see is that many of those frameworks don't cover the "distribution" aspect of game creation. I'd like to code my game on Python (and any other pure Python extra libraries I need) and be able to distribute an executable for the main PC platforms (Windows, Mac and Linux).  Any options out there or what are the best combinations for this?

They said it's messy and hard to navigate, therefore I'm asking questions here in name of my girlfriend who will need to transit through this airport.  My girlfriend (Canadian national) traveling from Toronto (YYZ) to Istanbul (IST) for a couple hours (~4 hrs, so transiting) in order to come to Pristina (PRN). I would like a quick guideline on how to pass through this airport seamlessly without facing any trouble or delay.  Her tickets are both with Turkish Airlines. She purchased it via a third party (Flighthub.ca). It's only one booking and it includes both flights in it.   Once my girlfriend departs, she's obviously required to follow the signs and go to the transit area. Once she's there, will she be required to present a ticket? Where does she get that ticket? Does she get it in YYZ or does she need to visit a counter in IST and get it? After she's got the proper ticket, what does she need to do exactly? Wait in line to have her passport checked? Will they also control her carryon?  After this step, does she simply go to the PRN flight gate and that's it?   We're simply worried about Istanbul Atatürk Airport because of the recent things that happened in Turkey (coup attempt and ISIS attack) and she doesn't wanna somehow end up locked up there. I've read that the airport is a mess lately and a lot of people will be there waiting in line. So, another question: Are 4 hours enough?  I would appreciate a step by step guideline on how she needs to navigate and what she needs to do in that airport to have a smooth experience without facing any delays. Also some misc information on Istanbul Atatürk Airport would be appreciated. How do you close windows/tabs in 2.8? I've tried a lot of stuff, but always end up opening up more.

A book with two twins and a difficult relation, a room where time flows slower than the outside and a mysterious monster coming from a sink There was this pocket book, back when I was a teenager (20 years ago), with these two twins discovering a room (it was something like a tool shed) where time flowed slower (1 hour inside was equal to 1 minute outside if i remember correctly).   Inside the shed there was a sink and a strange snake-ish metallic monster was slowly coming out from it.  One of the twins, the one with the "less marked" personality, decides to spend one year (during a whole night) inside the room in order to get out older than his twin.  I don't remember what happens with the monster, I think they destroyed the whole shed in the very end. How important are headings in SEO I have a website that sells music artists posters. Each artists has a page containing a small bio, and a list of posters we are selling representing the artist.  Currently our HTML looks like that  &lt;h1&gt;{Artist name}&lt;/h1&gt; bio &lt;h2&gt;Posters&lt;/h2&gt; &lt;ul&gt;   &lt;li class="poster"&gt;...&lt;/li&gt;   ... &lt;/ul&gt;   We are redesigning this page, and we have a new template that we really like. Problem is that in this new version the &lt;h2&gt;Posters&lt;/h2&gt; does not appear anywhere on the page.  As you might expect, a significant part of our traffic comes from people typing something like : "{Artist name} poster" on Google.  I fear that, by removing the word "poster" from the page, we will reduce our chances of getting these people to come to the site, since Google might down rank us.  I see several options here :   Give Google a slightly altered page that contains the H2 tags. But I think this falls into the "Black Hat SEO" category. And I don't want that. Put the heading. Hide it with CSS. Everyone wins, including accessibility tools which can determine the structure of the page using the "invisible" heading. But I do not know if this is considered a good practice. Forget about the heading, and find other ways to tell Google that we really are about posters. (via keywords, but do they really have the same "weight" as an H2?) Adapt the design to our SEO need, and find a way to put that heading nicely.   Are there webmasters out there that have been facing the same issue, how did you resolve it? Port error while changing chrome extension from manifest v1 to v2 How to avoid noisy renders in Cycles? I know that this question is a bit old or maybe overdone, but I'm running the latest edition of Blender and when I use the Cycles engine I get really fuzzy results and I can't find a simple, non-compromising solution to the quality.  I don't know exactly what I'm doing wrong here, but I'm sure others share my frustration.  Leaving everything in default settings, I started a new project and switched to the Cycles render.  I duplicated the cube and set colors for two Diffuse BSDF shaders, then went ahead and made walls and a floor all sharing the same diffuse shader.  I made two windows to emit blue light.  The screenshot has gaps between the walls because of the setup:  I'm aware that it's considered very incomplete and many have come to terms with some amount of noise, but is this normal?  Furthermore, with default settings or not, I can't change the amount of noise produced.  Supposedly, using "progressively refine" in the rendering tab should make it refine itself indefinitely, however Cycles only counts to 10 refines and then stops, creating a render which is a pixel-perfect match of the ordinary rendering method when it's completed.  I understand that there are tricks that can be used to reduce noise, but at the cost of extra processing time and usually small quality conflicts, like blurring.  My question essentially boils down to is this Cycles' current limit? Reading input from text file to array in c++ Today I had some time and felt like writing a relatively good answer on Stack Overflow; explaining both the underlying mechanisms and good practices, unlike usual declarative answers in a "do that" style.  It took me like an hour of time, $50 if I were free lance. It'll bring me nothing but 3-5 occasional views, and - if I get lucky - some ignorant comments.  You know, it's quite discouraging.  Instead of pride for the job that was done, I feel frustrated. I know, this answer may offer help to the OP, if he ever notices it (being already satisfied with other answers).  So the only fate the answer will meet is to sink forever, below thousands other questions, falling like snow.  So, being a programmer, I am thinking of efficiency. It's a waste of time to spend so much effort to answer one question when there is no way to [actually] reuse it. So, I wouldn't do it again but just turn back into short answers mode without explanations.       Seeing other answers, I don't think I am only one with such feeling.  The current policy is driving knowledgeable and educational users away, yet it attracts inexperienced ones in numbers. Ones who will tell you to use [some technology] which they never have laid their hands upon. Ones who write answers just because they have learned some "good practice" from other questions, and this "knowledge" becomes an endless source of rep points.  The idea of Stack Overflow is rotten. It was excellent when trees were high and traffic was low.  It turned bad now; it has become a honeypot for all the "enthusiast programmers" of the world, eager to share their 2 cents faster than you can say the word "close".  You're killing a great resource. Despite all the nice words and proper declarations, it discourages the reuse of the knowledge. And encourages fast on-site answers.  Of course, the rules will tell you contrary. It's all nice and proper (if you don't mind it's strict mutual exclusivity). But mechanically, technologically it works in the way I described.  I tried to write a tag wiki. You know, it was biggest waste of time in my life. As a matter of fact, it is not a wiki at all; you can't even link to a certain section. Not to mention that nobody ever has the idea to read tag wikis.  Reference questions? Don't make me laugh. There is no good mechanism to store and categorize links. Favorites, although intended for the different purpose, are a chunk of crap when you want to use it as a reference. So, you can't compete with 30-seconds answers: a question will get 5 answers before you can even find an appropriate link.  Okay, I can organize links myself but, there are some problems:   I am just a human. I cannot remember everything I am just a human and I cannot answer questions at rate of 1 qpm. One person cannot fight the Tide. It's helpless. When technology makes people writing fast [incomplete] answers -  no good will of proper declarations can do a thing.  Even if a question gets finally closed, it won't hurt anyone - the hydra grew two more already.   You'll call me a brute for insulting honest users and innocent volunteers, but that's fact: There are much more inexperienced users than experienced ones. And inexperienced users have much more spare time to hang over than experts who have their job to do. So, from that fact we can conclude that most of the answers on Stack Overflow have a low quality. Nobody cares. But I do.   There should be a technical way to limit the activity of not-so-knowledgeable-yet-eager-to-answer users. There should be a technical preference for the closing a question over answering it (have a silly answer for the silly question? welcome to comments). There should be a technical solution to accumulate and structure knowledge, a system that lets you choose a good answer instead of writing it by hand.   That's the only way. Otherwise Stack Overflow will remain an automated dispenser of bad practices.  Well, I just felt like letting it out again. Thank you for reading.
