Why do multiple people have to review an edit, when I have edit privileges anyway?  Should it not just automatically apply if I approve it?
I already have the "Edit Questions And Answers" privilege. Yet, if I approve someone else's edit, I'm told that more votes will be required before the edit is accepted.  This seems a bit peculiar to me, since I could just copy the edited version and paste it myself.
Is there a $(6,9,3)_2$ code? Does there exist a $1$-error-correcting binary code with block length $6$ and $9$ codewords?   The Hamming bound says that for any code $C$ with those parameters, $|C| \le \frac{2^6}{1+6} \approx 9.14$. So, we can't rule out the existence of such a code using the Hamming bound. The Singleton bound says that for any code $C$ with those parameters, $|C| \le 2^{6-3+1} = 16$, so we can't rule out the existence of such a code using the Singleton bound. Also, this can't be a linear code, since $\log_2 9$ isn't an integer. That rules out the possibility of just enumerating the possible generator matrices.   I feel a bit silly asking this, but the direct approach (assume $000\ 000$ is in the code, then all others must have Hamming weight $\ge 3$, ...) becomes unmanageable quickly. How else can I go about this? Getting absolute path of a file Does infinity exist in physical systems? Can I travel to Germany from a country different from the one I got the visa from? I was going through fluid dynamics and I came upon this section on the shape of a liquid surface in a rotating cylindrical vessel. The working in the book is something like this:   It considers a mass $m$ of water on the surface of the rotating liquid at a distance $x$ from its axis of rotation .It takes into account a pseudo force ($m \cdot x \cdot \omega^2$) radially outwards and its weight force ($mg$).It then proceeds to calculate the net force and the angle it makes with the vertical.From there through basic integration it gets the equation of the surface of liquid  i.e. $y= \dfrac{(x^2 \cdot \omega^2)}{2g}$ .  I get this working.  But if I were to view the same rotation through an inertial frame,how would I proceed? I mean, there wouldn't be any pseudo force, rather a centripetal acceleration of same magnitude radially inwards.This is where I am facing certain doubts.  The forces on the liquid would be  the centripetal force inwards and the weight force downwards.The net force would therefore be in a different direction,and consequently the slope of the surface at that point would be in a different direction.How is it possible for the same surface to have two different shapes in two different frames?   I would be obliged if someone could help me out by pointing out the flaw in my understanding. How many generator has a cyclic group of order n? OSGi/Felix Declarative Services: How to filter the services to be bound? I am using Apache Felix and its Declarative Services (SCR) to wire the service dependencies between bundles.  For example, if I need access to a java.util.Dictionary I can say the following to have SCR provide one:  /** * @scr.reference name=properties interface=java.util.Dictionary */  protected void bindProperties(Dictionary d) { }  protected void unbindProperties(Dictionary d) { }   Now, I have more than one Dictionary service available, and I want to filter them using the "name" service property (I only want "name=myDictionary"). I can do that with code (using a ServiceTracker), but I'd rather specify the filter in the @scr annotation instead.

Check if file is already open "Since", "until", "from", "to" on invoices or date ranges of a form Which is the correct form on an invoice, or a general date range in a form, and why?

I am interested in both British and American English.  Until now I've been using since+until, yet some articles explicitly say they may not ever be used together, while some people and some other articles get deep into grammar rules which I can't really apply on the context of invoices and forms.  Here's a recent article saying since and until can never be used together (last paragraph):   Edit: The date range can start in the past or in the future, and can end in the past or in the future. However, at the time of issuing an invoice or rendering a form, you cannot know when the document will be read or how the form will be filled. Is there anyway to find and remove ligatures from tex file? Sometimes when I copy/paste a text to Winedt, it shows perfect, but when I compile it to Pdf, some issues appear, e.g. finding becomes nding.  I am wondering if there is any way to search and find these characters?  Here is an example file (needs utf8 encoding).  \documentclass{article} \begin{document} ﬁ \end{document} I have a button created by my script.

Define "~" in $S$ by "$\{s_k\}$ ~ $\{t_k\}$" to mean that $d(s_k,t_k) \to 0$ as $k \to \infty$. Let $X'$ denote the set of equivalence classes of $S$ and let $s'$ denote the equivalence class of $s = \{s_k\}$.   I know $\phi(s',t') = \lim\limits_{k \to \infty} d(s_k,t_k)$ is a metric on $X'$.   Show $(X',\phi)$ is complete.  For $x \in X$, define $x'$ to be the equivalence class of the constant sequence ${x,x,...}$. Show that the function $x \to x'$ is an isometry of $X$ onto a dense subset of $X$.   If anyone can share a proof, or steer me in the right direction, maybe tell me what it is that I need to prove specifically, that would be great. Does changing your Compute Device, change all computes of Blender? So, I have recently moved from using Blender, on my family's Nettop PC, to my personal, gaming PC. And with this move, came to option to use CUDA instead of CPU.  Which leaves the question, if I move to CUDA, does that change all computing, for like physics baking, or only for rendering?  Just a nooby question that I wanted to know, and yes, I know you can specify GPU rendering separately. Time Expressions with "in" I have seen some examples about using "in" with time expressions. They give some examples as shown below:     I will leave for vacation in a month. (Exactly one month from now I   will go on vacation.)      We’ll be there in an hour.  (Exactly one hour will go by and then we   will arrive.)   But these comments confused me. Then I looked the usage of "in" up in a dictionary and it says about usage of "in" with time expressions :"before or at the end of a particular period". I think the comments and the definition in the dictionary contradict each other?    I have examples of mine:     1- Dinner will be ready in ten minutes. (Maybe dinner will be   ready at the 5th minute? or 8th. Does it strictly mean dinner will be   ready at the end of the ten minutes?)      2- My letter arrived in two days. ( Does that mean it took   exactly two days to arrive? or Could it be just one day because he/she   doesnt remember the exact time?)      3- Imagine you are on the first day of a month and your friend says:   I will be going outside the country in this month. (Does that mean he/she could go tomorrow or ten days later or at the end of the   month?)      4- He can run a mile in 5 minutes. ( Does that mean he has to   spent entire 5 minutes to run a mile? Could it be 4 or 4.5 minutes?) Consequences of a master thesis with errors I finished my master thesis 6 years ago, since then I gained a lot of experience on my field and also in academia. I can say that in that time I was a "child" , very inexperienced. I think that also my advisor did not help a lot, and I tried to do  a lot of things by my own, without someone to really review my things. Despite that, I still received a good mention by the master committee on final results.   Some days ago, I just decided to read part of master thesis, and I just realized a big nightmare coming. I identified a lot of typos, some references errors, and some improvements that I should do, but I did not. The worst thing is that I wrote a paper to a conference with my master thesis results (and some errors are there). The conference is not a high impact conference, but still the paper has my name and is available for everyone...   As I am finishing my PhD studies for now, I am concerning a lot that situation. My dream and goal is to pursue a Professor career. So, my questions are: What are (or could be) the consequences of a master thesis and paper with errors (some minor and some major) in academia? Revoke degree after years by errors in master is possible ( I am concerning a lot this situation that I thought on it)? How can I minimize it (I thought that I can put a fixed version of my thesis and paper in the future, for instance on my personal website)? How those errors can impact me in a Professor recruitment process?  Sorry for the long text, I am blaming myself all the time, and really afraid about the possibilities since I know that Academia career is really competitive. Value of having done applied math research when applying to PhD programs in pure math I will be a second year math under-grad in September, and currently doing an internship at applied math research institute. Most probably, I will come up with a research paper at the end of the internship.  However, my interest after my bachelors is to do PhD in pure math from a top math school.My question is this:     Would the admission committee consider my current research since it is in applied math?    In addition, if anyone can suggest me some ideas on how can I bridge the gap between my paper in applied math and my interest in analysis, I would be extremely grateful.  P.S.:  is a related but different question also of mine. I get this error message   NMI watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#2 stuck for 23s!
