Why does this print False in Python 3  &gt;&gt;&gt; 1 == int False   Thanks for your help!!!!
What is the best way to check whether a given object is of a given type? How about checking whether the object inherits from a given type?  Let's say I have an object o. How do I check whether it's a str?
Typical software & tools short-list for *manual* QA specialist (tester) working environment For QA workstations preparation (Windows-based PCs) our IT department uses typical batch deployment tools. I'm not at all interested in the details of such process, but IT guys ask me:  What typical set of software you need for everyday manual testing tasks? We could include these in our deployment so that you guys could save more time for testing, not for environment prep &amp; tuning.  Sure thing we do test various range of projects, from web applications to standalone solutions, and each application requires its own set of tools for manual testing, e.g.:  Browsers Virtualization utilities DB clients Screens capturing tools FTP clients XML editors etc.  However, and that's for sure - there's a list of tools every QA MUST have installed on its PC, regardless of project types under testing. My area of experience is mostly standalone / complex web apps, that's why my vision on the task is a bit subjective. So, your suggestions of what are tools / software an average QA specialist can't live without will be highly appreciated. 2 assumptions:  Manual testing is a point of interest. Let's limit the list to not more than 15 (better 10) items.  Thanks in advance! My brother owns Skyrim on steam. We use Steam Family Share, but we were wondering how both of us could play it at the same time? How to compute the  formula $\sum  \limits_{r=1}^d r \cdot 2^r$? Given $$1\cdot 2^1 + 2\cdot 2^2 + 3\cdot 2^3 + 4\cdot 2^4 + \cdots + d \cdot 2^d = \sum_{r=1}^d r \cdot 2^r,$$ how can we infer to the following solution? $$2 (d-1) \cdot 2^d + 2. $$   Thank you How put color in all math mode? The general consensus on a similar question,  is that "highly significant" is a valid, though non-specific, way to describe the strength of an association that has a p-value far below your pre-set significance threshold. However, what about describing p-values that are slightly above your threshold? I have seen some papers use terms like "somewhat significant", "nearly significant", "approaching significance", and so on. I find these terms to be a little wishy-washy, in some cases a borderline disingenuous way to pull a meaningful result out of a study with negative results. Are these terms acceptable to describe results that "just miss" your p-value cutoff? What does "All things X" mean? I've seen the expression in some company names; for example , .  Is the expression "All things X" a parody of some other popular phrase, or does it have its own meaning? Or is it just a misuse of grammar? Prove that two distinct numbers of the form $a^{2^{n}} + 1$ and $a^{2^{m}} + 1$ are relatively prime if $a$ is even and have $\gcd=2$ if $a$ is odd.   My attempt: If $a$ is even, let $a = 2^{s}k$ for some integers $k, s$ Then, $$a^{2^{n}} + 1 = 2^{2^{n}s}\cdot k^{2^n} + 1$$ and $$a^{2^{m}}  + 1 = 2^{2^{m}s}\cdot k^{2^m} + 1$$ To prove that they're relatively prime, we need to show that their gcd = 1. And I was stuck here, how could I prove that gcd of two numbers is $1$?     A hint would be sufficient. Thanks.

Print lines between (and including) two patterns CSV API for Java Can anyone recommend a simple API that will allow me to use read a CSV input file, do some simple transformations, and then write it.  A quick google has found  which looks promising.  I just wanted to check what others are using before I couple myself to this API. What does NOEXEC flag mean when mounting directories on RHEL? I am trying to understand the NOEXEC flag when mounting.  I am having an execution issue within the /tmp directory on someone elses machine that I cannot access atm where the /tmp directory is mounted onto a different drive than '/' and NOEXEC is present.  I wanted to try and recreate this scenario on my machine, but I do not have a second hard drive.  I tried doing the following command:  mount --bind /test1 /test2   I then removed the bind flag and added NOEXEC in /etc/fstab.  Then, I created a file in /test2 called test.sh where it just echos 'hello world'.  I try and run it and it said 'permission denied'.  I then ran chmod 777 test.sh and was able to execute the file just fine.  I thought that the NOEXEC flag should not allow me to execute anything?  Is mount --bind /test1 /test2 not the same as mounting from a completely different physical drive? As in /test1 and /test2 are on different drives? I'm getting frequent inaccurate location as the same location, can I make this stop? scope of clause within complex sentence If I said, &quot;I will run, not if it is snowing, if I my shoes are comfortable.&quot; Does the &quot;if my shoes are comfortable&quot; modify the &quot;I will run&quot; clause? I agree the sentence would be clearer with the addition of &quot;and&quot; in place of the comma. However, without the &quot;and&quot; is it still clear that the &quot;if my shoes are comfortable&quot; clause modifies the &quot;I will run&quot; clause? Can older cards that refer to a player/opponent ever be used on planeswalkers? 'find' utility does not output all files when using wildcards Running:  $find . -name *.exe   gives:  ./MakeItSo_1.2.2/MakeItSo_1.2.2/MakeItSo.exe ./MakeItSo.exe   but those are not the only exe files in the directory. For example, running  $find . -name ATLTester.exe   gives:  ./Debug/ATLDmoVexaTester.exe Compute the Riemann integral  $$\int_0^{\frac\pi2}\frac{\mathrm d \theta}{\sqrt{\sin \theta}}$$  It seems very difficult, I don't know how to go ahead.  Thank you very much for your help! Is there any way to increase the drop rate of items? Some items in Terraria drop only very rarely from certain enemies. It's a pain having to farm so many enemies to try to get these rare items. Is there any way to make them drop more often? Shortest path from points in one layer to points in another layer via roads in QGIS I have gotten as far as to create the bootable usb, booting into that bootable usb and getting to the install options however i quit because I had some concerns.  I currently have a Samsung 850 evo 1tb that has win 10ninstalled. I want to dual boot with Ubuntu 18.04 by installing it on a brand new unformatted uninitialized Samsung 860bevo 250gb. Should i format the brand new ssd as a new volume in win 10 and then proceed with the Ubuntu install on this volume. What else should i do? Im a first time Ubuntu user and installer.  Any and all help is appreciated.
