When do I use "I" instead of "me?"
I'm having trouble understanding the simple voltage regulator that can be built using a zener diode (from section 2.04 in the Art of Electronics).  I know that it would be better to use amplifiers, et cetera, but I'm just trying to understand how this circuit works.      I don't really understand how the circuit works, but I am guessing that when a load is applied to the output, it drains current from the source (Vin) and thus causes the voltage to drop?  How does the zener diode help to maintain the voltage and thus make this circuit act as a regulator? What are these three references from episode 9? How do I disable "Link Preview" in Chrome? Could anyone explain why the number of legal or reachable combinations of a $3\times 3\times 3$ Rubik's Cube is $1/12\mbox{th}$ of the total. I understood the logic behind the total number of combinations: $8! \cdot 2^{12} + 3^{12} \cdot 12!$. What I am not able to understand is why do we divide this quantity by $2 \cdot 3\cdot 2$. I don't have any idea about parity or group/set theory. Is there another possible explanation for it? Mobile SE sites not allowing edits to edits When you have less than 2K rep and your edit goes in a queue, you are usually allowed to revise your edit while it is being reviewed, by clicking the edit button again on the question page. However, when on mobile SE sites, the edit button disappears when you have submitted an edit for review.    Editing  by  into the question: It seems that the cause of this is when the mobile site hides the edit link (when there is a pending edit), it doesn't check who is making the edit, which means that it hides it for your own as well as other's edits. can't create a jobs user profile I'm stuck on this page even after linking stackoverflow and github accounts. What are the advantages of using the optical viewfinder over live preview to take photos on a DSLR? Forgive this novice question, I am basically a complete newbie to photography.  Really, all I've ever used for most my of short life have been point-and-shoots; I've only recently started to pick up some curiosity.  Anyway, from what I've gathered, reading through many of the  questions, most serious photographers use the optical viewfinder as their primary tool to determine what makes a good shot.  Live-preview isn't used much at all; it seems its help is to primarily set up the shot.  Reading a Wikipedia article seems to confirm this view, adding that      [l]ive preview in DSLRs does not typically serve as their principal means of framing and previewing before taking a photograph, with this function still being mainly performed with optical viewfinder. While initially largely a novelty feature, live-preview functionality has become more common on DSLR cameras...    My questions are:   What are the myriad advantages of using the viewfinder over live preview, what does it help one accomplish in achieving the goals of photography? What are some interesting ways serious photographers use live preview to take better shots they might have otherwise missed? How do I get a module path? I'm creating a module in Drupal 8 and I need to define a relative path to mymodule to pass it on a JavaScript file like this.  $scope.getPlatformIcon = function (_platform) {      var modulePath = "/modules/mymodule"      switch (_platform) {          case "youtube":          case "twitter":          case "instagram":          case "facebook":              return modulePath+"/img/"+_platform+".png";      }      return false; };   In Drupal 7 I could use the following.  var modulePath = Drupal.settings.mymodule.basePath;   For the Drupal 8 root directory, I could use the following.  drupalSettings.path.baseUrl   I didn't find how to get the module path.  How can I do it with Drupal 8? If a function is a combination of other functions whose derivatives are known via composition, addition, etc., the derivative can be calculated using the chain rule and the like. But even the product of integrals can't be expressed in general in terms of the integral of the products, and forget about composition! Why is this? Skins that cannot be in mystery gifts? Yesterday I had a discussion with some of my friends while playing league. It was about the contents of the mystery gifts and while I said there are restrictions, they were convinced that you can get absolutely every skin from a gift (including victorious, and really old ones).  Now while I'm pretty sure that there are restrictions (Triumphant ryze for example), I'm not really sure on which skins they affect.   What about the victorious, riot, legacy, pax and completely removed skins (Rusty BC, Black Ali, Urf WW)? Can you get those with a mistery gift or is it impossible to get those right now? Sorry for the vague title--I don't want the title to be a spoiler.  I've seen the movie three times, and the last two times I looked specifically for clues to this question, but found none.  The final scene in  shows       Cobb's top spinning, as he goes off to be reunited with his children.  The top continues to spin, then the movie ends, without telling us if the top topples--and therefore revealing whether he's in the "real world" or still in a dream. Do we know if he was in a dream at the end of the movie?   I'm assuming the answer is that we simply cannot know.  But did I miss anything?  Were there clues that I missed? Upon trying to upgrade from 10.10 to 11.04 all seemed to go well until the restart. This error message is what comes up:  Kernel Panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)   How do we fix that? SQL query to convert columns into rows Adding Favorites to the Stack Exchange global inbox We're considering adding favorite notifications to the global inbox, and are looking for feedback on the idea (as we're not completely sold on it).  But first, some history.  Favorites are kind of like bookmarks, in that they're kept in a handy centralized place.  They also follow you across browsers.  Ok, ok... "bookmarks, on the internet" is not the most compelling feature, but Favorites also opted you into notices for those questions as if you were the owner (edits and new answers, at least).  This was probably the most confusing part (though a  feature) of the old envelope behavior judging by erroneous bug reports, so a way to opt out of this .  Now, favorite updates go nowhere.  But we could* put them into the inbox.  Here's how we envision this feature working:   Every current user has their "notify me on favorite changes" preference cleared (new users start with it cleared). The first time someone favorites a question, they're prompted to opt-in to favorite notices. Whenever a question is commented on or answered (or, possibly, edited) a new notice is pushed into the inbox of users who have favorited it, and have opted in.   Opt-in would be per-site, and it would remain possible to opt-out from your profile page.   This is not a final design, but the basic idea is correct  As I mentioned above, we're not 100% sold on this idea.  We've had a policy to date that nothing goes into the inbox that isn't specifically targeted at a user; this would be tweaking that policy.  *We could also put changes into their tab on the user page, but that reduces their visibility.

I'm doing an add-in that gives me the name, birhday and photo property of all user in user profiles    I tried with this code   var siteUrl = _spPageContextInfo.siteAbsoluteUrl;     Console.log(siteUrl);     $.ajax({         url: siteUrl + "/_api/SP.UserProfiles.PeopleManager/GetMyProperties",         method: "GET",         headers: { "Accept": "application/json; odata=verbose" },         success: function (data) {             console.log(data);         },         error: function(error) {             console.log(error);         }     });   but I only get current user profile properties, what I need is all user profiles properties for all users, how can i achieve that?  Thanks in advance! Changing colors of lightning-button How can I change the colors of lightning-button?  I tried doing this in my css:  .my-button {     background-color: #14a6bc;     color: #ffffff; }   and applying that class to my &lt;lightning-button&gt; and removing the variant but I still get the base colors? I am trying to use these examples: Can all real polynomials be factored into quadratic and linear factors? So I understand how to do integration on rational functions with a linear and a quadratic denominator, and I understand how to do a partial fraction decomposition, but I was wondering what happens if the polynomial is higher degree and can't be factored. Later in the page, it says this:     However, it can be shown that any polynomial with real coefficients is a product of linear and/or irreducible quadratic factors with real coefficients.   And I was wondering, how do we know this and is this definitely true? Is it safe to eat potatoes that have sprouted? I'm talking about potatoes that have gone somewhat soft and put out shoots about 10cm long.   Other online discussions suggest it's reasonably safe and the majority of us have been peeling and eating soft sprouty spuds for years. Is this correct?
