I am trying to write an app that will trigger an pkg to open so the user can install this. I have the code and it is working well except for the following.  When I try to open the pkg file using open /tmp/mypackage.pkg in most cases it will open the Finder to the users home folder not the package.  I have checked and the package is present within the specified directory and the application is creating the correct command.  The command i am using to do this is in python:  subprocess.Popen(['open', '/tmp/mypackage.pkg']) application.close()
From the command line is it possible to open a package installer window (not install the application).  I understand I could run the application using sudo installer -pkg ..... -target ....... Instead i would like to open the package in a similar way to if I double clicked the package within the Finder.

Around two years ago I washed and dried my passport by mistake at the laundry room. My ID, my old US student visa and my stamps from european countries are still readable but the pages are not "flat" anymore and the front cover is kind of erasing (some parts of the Brazil symbol is gone).   In April I'll travel to US for a conference, I'll need to get a new US visa (B1/tourism visa) but I'm worried if my passport is not "good to go" anymore because it was "washed and dried". Apparently there is an electronic chip in it and I don't know if it is still working.  Should I get a new passport or can I save some money and time and use this one? It expires only in 2019. How to add a gif file to my LaTeX file? Related:          I have an image file -- a gif file, which is the graph of a function. How do I add it to a LaTeX file? Will it come out OK in the subsequent pdf file? Position of the adverb "substantially" Why does demand for stock rise when a company appears to have high future value? So a company decides to raise money by selling shares of its stock. The stock is offered at an initial price of their determination. The stock is then traded in a market where forces of supply and demand, as well as speculation, affect its price.  When a company performs well (or makes decisions that will likely increase the company's earnings in the future), more people want to buy that stock than do people wanting to sell it. This creates demand for that stock which causes its sell/bid prices rise. When a company performs poorly, the opposite occurs; more people want to sell the stock than want to buy. This creates a surplus that causes sell/bid prices to fall.  Understanding this, people speculate over company performance to determine the future behavior of a stock, and attempt to "buy low, sell high" or "borrow high, return low" in order to make a profit.  But my question is regarding the first part of that process. What is it about company performance that causes the perceived value of its stock to rise? This is especially perplexing since I would guess that most people don't exercise their voting rights, and many stocks don't pay dividends.  It's not like a shareholder has any direct financial gains from increased company earnings (speculative stock pricing notwithstanding).  What is the intrinsic value of the stock?  It seems to me that all participants in a stock market tacitly agree that stock price will have a direct correlation with company performance. So another way of asking the question is, would an opposite agreement hold? What financially (this isn't a question about logistics, communication, or feasibility) stops all participants in a market from agreeing to value a particular company's stock inversely with respect to the company's performance?  Since I feel like I can't quite nail down my question, another form of it would be, why is stock market behavior driven by company performance? $\sum \cos$ when angles are in arithmetic progression Possible Duplicate:          Prove $$\cos(\alpha) + \cos(\alpha + \beta) + \cos(\alpha + 2\beta) + \dots + \cos[\alpha + (n-1)\beta] = \frac{\cos(\alpha + \frac{n-1}{2}\beta) \cdot \sin\frac{n\beta}{2}}{\sin\frac{\beta}{2}} $$ Hibernate is disabled, hiberfil.sys gets recreated at each boot I have Windows 7 running on a small (40GB) partition, with 4GB ram. This means that the hiberfil.sys file created by Hibernate takes up a significant portion of the available diskspace. I would like to remove it.  I am aware that I can disable Hibernate and remove hiberfil.sys by entering powercfg -h off in an elevated command prompt. This works -- the file is immediately removed, and after doing so, the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Power\HibernateEnabled key is (correctly) set to 0.  However, the next time I reboot the PC, hiberfil.sys returns from the dead, Hibernate is reenabled, and that registry key has returned to 1.  I'm pretty much at my wits' end with this. Almost everything I can find online related to removing the hiberfil.sys file simply suggests using powercfg to turn off hibernation, and that appears to work for just about everyone. But it just keeps coming back for me! (Like a vampire, sucking up my disk space.) I did find  from someone who seems to have had the same issue, but none of the suggestions there worked for the original poster (or for me). Still, I have tried everything listed there, including:   Disabling hybrid sleep Disabling Hibernate through the command prompt, through the Power Options GUI, and through both (in both orders) Manually changing the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Power\HibernateEnabled key Pretty much everything else I can think of!   I do want to reiterate that I have no problem removing the file -- that works great. It just comes back after every reboot. I'm about ready to throw in the towel and just run a script on login to disable Hibernate each time, even though that seems like a crazily hacky "solution" . . . but I was hoping someone here could suggest something else, first. Do we say "-1 thing" or "-1 things"?  I am interested in both      two things minus one thing(s)    and      minus/negative one thing(s) What is the function of this circuit?

Right now I manage pdfs and references with Zotero, but I'm still searching for an organization logic for paper documents that allows rapid access and prevents redundant printing and storage.  have suggested organizing by topic, while another approach is to sort by author name. Topical organization has not worked well for me in the past because my research is highly interdisciplinary, confounding my categorization efforts. For a coupled digital-physical organization system I'm considering the following:   Digital documents and references stored and tagged in Zotero Indicator in Zotero whether or not I've printed in the file Physical documents stored in manila file folders labelled alphabetically   What is the most effective way that you've found to maintain both paper and digital document repositories?

New "[tag:" syntax interferes with Markdown links The ^^ notation in various engines Basically, how does the ^^^... notation work in LuaTeX and XeTeX, exactly?  In 8-bit TeX engines (recent TeX, eTeX, pdfTeX, at least), two consecutive identical catcode 7 characters (typically ^), followed by two lowercase hexadecimal digits, are converted before the tokenization step to the corresponding byte.  Namely, ^^6f is exactly equivalent to o: for instance, \sh^^6fw ^^6f will cause TeX to show the letter o.  There is also the notation with two ^ (identical catcode 7 characters), followed by any ascii character (but not two lowercase hexadecimal digits), which is replaced by the character obtained by either subtracting or adding 64 to the character code, remaining among ASCII characters (range 0 to 128).  Unicode-aware engines (I'm thinking of LuaTeX and XeTeX, there are perhaps other less known ones around) also provide ^^^^xxxx and ^^^^^xxxxx for characters whose hexadecimal representation has 4, or 5 digits.  But this does not seem to be done in the same way across engines.  For instance, both LuaTeX and XeTeX appear to accept the notation with 4, 5, or 6 carets followed by the same number of hexadecimal digits, but XeTeX also accepts it for 3, while LuaTeX doesn't. Compiling the following with pdfTeX, LuaTeX, and XeTeX gives different results.  \catcode0=12 \newlinechar=10 \def\loopshow#1{\message{\meaning #1^^J}\loopshow} \loopshow \/   ^^56   ^^^056   ^^^^0056   ^^^^^00056   ^^^^^^000056   ^^^^^^^0000056 {\end\iffalse} \fi} \bye   One weird fact about XeTeX (a bug?) is that  \show ^^^^^^010101   shows the character displaywidth.  My goal (there may be a better way to do this) is to provide a way to test whether passing a given list of tokens through \scantokens is safe.  For that, my plan is to go through the \detokenized token list one character at a time, applying TeX's rule for tokenizing (but no need to fully tokenize), and detecting begin-group and end-group tokens, as well as invalid characters. Can someone give me a short description and comparison of the different road cycling pedal / shoe systems? I am looking at buying a pedal/shoe system as the clips and straps I am using are hurting my feet again.  It's been a long time since I have bought a road pedal / shoe system, and I have forgotten the differences between SPDs, Look pedals and all the others.    Can someone give a short comparison of each pedal system with pros and cons of each? My usage is/will be mainly city street cycling and then road cycling (recreation, not racing).  I'd prefer if people would give the pros and cons of each and not their opinion on the "pedal system war".  :) However, "I use them because I find XYZ and it helps in ABC ways" is very useful.
