I'm trying to obtain a white background for a render using the workbench render engine. I have set the &quot;Viewport Display&quot; inside World settings to white but the background renders light grey. What is the correct procedure?
I am using the 2D Animation preset and so far every new scene I made had the same bright white background. Now my two latest scenes (created with 'copy settings') have a light grey background even though they are set to white. There's also no difference in surface, nodes or strength.  There are apparently exist different background shades with an off-white color but selecting the white one doesn't help either
In , I used quotes to demark specific terms, but after I posted the question, I wondered if I'm doing it right.  Usually, when quoting something a person says, the quotation mark goes after the comma or period, like so:     "This is my opinion," she said.   However, I sometimes use quotes not to represent something said by anyone, but instead for delineating a set term or phrase to make it clear that those words go together and none of them should be mistaken for a part of the rest of the sentence. Like this:     Should I say "stand up", "standup", or "stand-up"?   This looks weird to me:     Should I say "stand up," "standup," or "stand-up"?   ... but maybe I'm wrong about the rules.  Is it correct to use quotes in this way? And if so, are the quotes positioned correctly relative to the other punctuation marks?  Are there other alternatives for delineating terms without the use of quotes? paragraph numbering I am using the paragraph section head, i.e.,   \paragraph{This is a cool paragraph}    I would like it to compile with numbering. If I change the secnumdepth (i.e., \setcounter{secnumdepth}{4}) this will work, but produce the "wrong" type of numbering, i.e.,      1.1.1.1 This is a cool paragraph      1.1.1.2 This is another cool paragraph etc.   What I would like is      1 This is a cool paragraph      2 This is another cool paragraph   or, if not,      1.1 This is a cool paragraph      1.2 This is another cool paragraph   where the first 1 indicates the section number and suppresses the subsection and subsubsection numbers. Can this be done? Battery mAh meaning What exactly does mAh rating means? I know that it means the milliamperes supplied by the battery in one hour but i need a more conceptual and practical definition/example.   How does mAh rating tell the current supplied to the load? How does it vary with the load specification.   Also, suppose a mobile phone's battery has 3000mAh, if i supply it with 1000mA, then does it mean that the battery will be fully charged in 3 hours?   And will a 3000 mAh battery deliver a current of 3000mA for 1 hour to a load? Will this rating degrade in a practical scenario. Please explain. Is there a proof from the first principle that for the Lagrangian $L$,    $$L = T\text{(kinetic energy)} - V\text{(potential energy)}$$  in classical mechanics? Assume that Cartesian coordinates are used. Among the combinations, $L = T - nV$, only $n=1$ works. Is there a fundamental reason for it?  On the other hand, the variational principle used in deriving the equations of motion, Euler-Lagrange equation, is general enough (can be used to to find the optimum of any parametrized integral) and does not specify the form of Lagrangian. I appreciate for anyone who gives the  answer, and if possible, the primary source (who published the answer first in the literature).      Notes added on Sept 22: - Both answers are correct as far as I can find. Both answerers were not sure about what I meant by the term I used: 'first principle'. I like to elaborate what I was thinking, not meant to be condescending or anything near to that. Please have a little understanding if the words I use are not well-thought of. - We do science by collecting facts, forming empirical laws, building a theory which generalizes the laws, then we go back to the lab and find if the generalization part can stand up to the verification. Newton's laws are close to the end of empirical laws, meaning that they are easily verified in the lab. These laws are not limited to gravity, but are used mostly under the condition of gravity. When we generalize and express them in Lagrangian or Hamiltonian, they can be used where Newton's laws cannot, for example, on electromagnetism, or any other forces unknown to us. Lagrangian or Hamiltonian and the derived equations of motion are generalizations and more on the theory side, relatively speaking; at least those are a little more theoretical than Newton's laws. We still go to lab to verify these generalizations, but it's somewhat harder to do so, like we have to use Large Hadron Collider. - But here is a new problem, as @Jerry Schirmer pointed out in his comment and I agreed. Lagrangian is great tool if we know its expression. If we don't, then we are at lost. Lagrangian is almost as useless as Newton's laws for a new mysterious force. It's almost as useless but not quite, because we can try and error. We have much better luck to try and error on Lagrangian than on equations of motion. - Oh, variational principle is a 'first principle' in my mind and is used to derive Euler-Lagrange equation. But variational principle does not give a clue about the explicit expression of Lagrangian. This is the point I'm driving at. This is why I'm looking for help, say, in Physics SE. If someone knew the reason why n=1 in L=T-nV, then we could use this reasoning to find out about a mysterious force. It looks like that someone is in the future. Encouraging people to explain downvotes Canonical vs. non-canonical terminal input I am studying for an exam and I am confused as to how canonical vs. non-canonical input/output works in Unix (e.g., curses).  I understand that there is a buffer to which "line disciplines" are applied for canonical input.  Does this mean that the buffer is bypassed for non-canonical input, or does it simply mean that no line disciplines are applied?  How does this process differ for input and output operations?  In the curses programs I have worked with that demonstrate canonical input, the input typed by a user is automatically entered either after a certain number of characters have been typed or a certain amount of time has passed.  Are either of these things considered "line disciplines" or is this something else entirely? setTimeout and "this" in JavaScript I have a method that uses the  function and makes a call to another method. On initial load method 2 works fine. However, after the timeout, I get an error that says method2 is undefined. What am I doing wrong here?  ex:  test.prototype.method = function() {     //method2 returns image based on the id passed     this.method2('useSomeElement').src = "http://www.some.url";     timeDelay = window.setTimeout(this.method, 5000); };  test.prototype.method2 = function(name) {     for (var i = 0; i &lt; document.images.length; i++) {         if (document.images[i].id.indexOf(name) &gt; 1) {             return document.images[i];         }     } }; Can a Stack Exchange association bonus be lost? I recently hit 200 rep on Stack Overflow and got a big 100 rep bonus. Most know this as the 'association bonus'.  If I offer a bounty of 50 points and thereby lessen my 'base' score, do I lose that association bonus?  What if I offer a 150 point bounty and then work my way back to 200? apt-get build-dep is unable to find a source package How to write a Hello World application in Java? __NSArrayM insertObject:atIndex:]; object cannot be nil How to create an index map of atlas features in QGIS 3? I realise that this question has been asked before (), however I am still unable to figure out how to create an index map of atlas features in the QGIS map composer.  Basically, I have a line and I have five atlas maps showing the extent of the line, and to show where which map corresponds to the line a I need five overviews on a map with numbers on them, which will look similar to below:    I've created five overviews, but as all of these must be set to correspond to the main map frame, all of them show the overview for which ever atlas feature is selected at the time, rather than appearing as separate index tiles.  Can anyone tell me where I am going wrong? Matrices A+B=AB implies A commutes with B PHP parse_ini_file work on URL? Ubuntu 17.10 windows' menu in panel I installed the latest version of Ubuntu (17.10) , but the problem is, I can't find the menu bars of applications in the GNOME panel.

However I am getting:     We could not complete your update   There is not enough disk space available to install the product.   I have got 14.22 GB free space. How much do I need?

I need to find all group homomorphisms of $S_n\to\mathbb{C}^*$ (for $n\ge2$), and also all group homomorphisms of $A_n\to\mathbb{C}^*$ (for $n\ge2$).  Someone on this site, two years ago, seems to have already asked the same question (). I understand what the questioner says there, but I don't understand it when he says:     Therefore there is exactly one $g:\mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z}\to\mathbb{C}^*$, so all elements of $a\in\mathbb{C}^*$ give us $\operatorname{ord}(a)\mid g[\mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z}]$, so $a$ can only be $-1$ or $1$. Now we know that $f:S_n\to\{-1,1\}$ &hellip;   What is he saying there? And how to go on from there? (I do not understand the answer given either &hellip;)  I hope that someone here can help me further. (And if I'm not allowed to ask this question because is has already been asked two years ago, please tell me what to do instead).  Thank you in advance! The importance of a factor depends on how importance is defined.   The word importance has a fuzzy nature open to different   interpretations and the importance of a factor depends on how   importance is defined.      In other words, importance is ...   How can I complete this sentence with one word?   Edit:  I prefer to use a neutral word without negative connotations, since I'm not against having different interpretations in this case. Rather, I mean depending on how importance is defined, we need a different method. Thought Experiment - Poking a stick across a Black Hole's Event Horizon The classical explanation of a black hole says that if you get to close, you reach a point - the event horizon radius - from which you cannot escape even travelling at the speed of light. Then they normally talk about spaghetti.  But here's a thought experiment. What if I have a BH with event horizon radius R such that the gravitational gradient at the event horizon is far too weak for creating pasta. I build a Ring with radius R+x around the BH. Then I lower a pole of length x+d from my ring towards the BH, so that the tip passes beyond the event horizon.  Now what happens when I try to pull the pole back? Title of 80's movie: future-era timetraveling humans go extinct and rescue/kidnap todays air crash victims What is the title of a 80's (i believe?) movie where humans in the far future are going extinct, and are aquiring new humans by going back in time to todays world, kidnapping air travelers that are known to have died that day, from the flying passenger aircraft just before its crashing.  A key visual:    Inside a hangar, a time portal opened, and a tail of a (flying) passenger aircraft extruded into the hangar where a stairs provided access to the back door of the aircraft.  The kidnappers made sure the surviving passengers remain seated and would forget about the whole ordeal. Kidnapped humans got replaced by lookalike dummies, including things they had on them. They tried hard not to alter the timeline.
