The search functionality is broken, it seems, e.g.  only loads after more than a minute of waiting. This happens on multiple sites, e.g. also on Stack Overflow.
:  Not ten minutes ago, I received this error, twice:  And also an &quot;Oops, something bad happened&quot; error.  I'm also getting question posting errors.  Can we fix this, please?
Is my US visa still valid after change in name? I'm a Malawian national and I got US Visa years back.  Recently, due to some reasons, I had to get my first name partially changed on my passport. I have got an affidavit certificate stating the reason and proof.  Since the visa on my old passport has still not expired, but there is a difference in first name, will I face any problem? SQL Server 2008 R2 SP1  My company uses the Great Plains (GP) financial system with several customizations.  Our Value-Added-Reseller (VAR) for GP has setup most of these customizations in a separate database from the GP data called DYNCUSTOM.  In the DYNCUSTOM database is a View that is merely a SELECT * FROM a table in the GP company database (called PARTS).  I was approached by a user having problems trying to select on this view.  The error he was getting:  Msg 229, Level 14, State 5, Line 2 SELECT permission denied on object 'BM010415', database 'PARTS', schema 'dbo'   I looked at how his login was mapped and he had a database user in the DYNCUSTOM database belonging to a database role that was granted select on the view.  However, he did not have a database user in the PARTS database.    Usually the intent of a view is so that one can grant select permissions on the view without exposing access to the underlying table.  With SQL Server however, if the view crosses databases does it then change the security context being used?  Therefore, the user would also need a database user in the PARTS database as well as granted select access to the underlying table? Meaning of hash symbol in pin name I'm reading the datasheet of a PSRAM (available ). In the top-right hand corner all the pins are listed. Some of the pin names end with a hash, e.g. LB#, OE#.  What does the # notation mean for pins? What is the fastest way to convert float to int on x86 What is the fastest way you know to convert a floating-point number to an int on an x86 CPU.  Preferrably in C or assembly (that can be in-lined in C) for any combination of the following:   32/64/80-bit float -> 32/64-bit integer   I'm looking for some technique that is faster than to just let the compiler do it. Is there an "exists" function for jQuery? How can I check the existence of an element in jQuery?  The current code that I have is this:  if ($(selector).length &gt; 0) {     // Do something }   Is there a more elegant way to approach this? Perhaps a plugin or a function? How do I log in to my personal Windows 10 using a FIDO2 key? I'd like to user a FIDO2 key to log into Windows 10. There are various guides explaining how to add a key to a Microsoft web account, or to Windows 10 sign in options, but neither result in showing up as an option when I try logging into Windows.  How can I configure windows to use my FIDO2 key to log in? What is the smallest convex set includes all smooth unit curves? I try to understand: is there a smallest in area convex set that every smooth curve with length 1 can be placed inside it by translation and rotation?  I only have a upper bound $S \leq \frac14+\frac{\pi}{16}$ because of convex hull of two circles radius $\frac14$ and simple lower bound $S\geq\frac1{4\pi}$.  Does this set exist and what is its length? ESRI has an  from 2004 showing all the symbols available in ArcGIS at the time and their names. I don't need it often but if I'm searching for a certain symbol and don't know its name it's sometimes easier to look at a few sheets of paper than to use the Symbol Selector. It doesn't seem like it's been updated for ArcGIS 10, though. I was wondering if anyone is aware of a new version of this, or if anyone has created one on their own they might be willing to share. "For someone used to the tiny creatures we get in England it was something of a shock."  I think, in this sentence, relative pronouns before some words have been omitted. I know rules of omitting relative pronouns, but in this case I have failed to understand before which words relative pronouns can be placed to understand the sentence perfectly, which has been stated above. Please, explain the rules of omitting relative pronouns with the help of the sentence stated above, so that I can be able to understand this type of sentences easily. You can also use other sentences to explain this fact clearly.  Thanks to everyone. I have a larger, external monitor connected to my MacBook Pro and have arranged it such that the dock is in the external monitor (via System Preferences > Displays > Arrangement, by dragging the white bar to the larger screen). This works fine, except for the fact that every now and then, the dock will suddenly shift back to my MacBook screen, but when I open up Displays to change this back, the white bar is still on the external monitor. So I have to drag it to the smaller screen, and then drag it back to the external monitor.   It's a minor issue, obviously, but I've noticed that it has been happening more and more frequently and it's getting quite annoying. Perhaps there's something I've been doing unintentionally for this to happen?   I'm using Mavericks, 10.9.5. Description list with aligned descriptions is exactly what I'm looking for. I want my description environment to produce this:  Label is long   text  lab2            blalballalaa label3          possible second rule label four      hello world   Someone offered this:  \newenvironment{mydescription}[1]                                                   {\begin{list}{}%    {\renewcommand\makelabel[1]{##1:\hfill}%    \settowidth\labelwidth{\makelabel{#1}}%    \setlength\leftmargin{\labelwidth}    \addtolength\leftmargin{\labelsep}}}   {\end{list}}   Which works great (the parameter is the longest label), except I think the enumitem should be able to do this. Unfortunately, the documentation for it is extremely confusing to me. Could someone show me how to achieve the same result with enumitem? I had Windows 8 installed on my system, which I screwed up, and now I run Ubuntu 12.04. While installing, Ubuntu used all the 461 GB of HDD space (one partition).   Now I want to make a new partition of maybe 100 GB or so, in order to install Windows 7 alongside Ubuntu (with a dual-boot). But I can't even get a partition done. I can't change the partition in GParted either - the option is disabled. I watch a lot of old movies, and I've noticed that American actors of the 1930s and 1940s often spoke in a quasi-generic-posh-British accent.  Katherine Hepburn's accent would be the perfect example. It seems exaggerated, and I imagine it was not common off the stage and screen. What was that? Was it just an accent or was it a dialect? Did real people actually speak that way? Why three-phase power? Why not a higher number of phases? Is there a reason, beyond historical reasons, that three phases has become the dominant number of phases?  I am aware of the advantages against one phase and two phase, namely the reduced amount of conductor needed, and that motors can provide torque when stalled (and less pulsation).  Is this solely due to diminishing returns, with only a small increase in smoothness of torque application, at the cost of increased complexity (increased number of wires (albeit of smaller CSA)).  To be clear, the phases are all evenly distributed, that is, five phases separated by 72 degrees. Cut points and connected space Can internal forces do work? Case of the 'mice problem' for $n=3$ LWC Navigation: "this[f.NavigationMixin.Navigate] is not a function" When attempting to use the Lightning navigation service in my component's base class (.js), I get the following error when functionally testing in the UI:  this[f.NavigationMixin.Navigate] is not a function  I am calling the NavigationMixin function provided by the lightning/navigation module. I have imported the module: import { NavigationMixin } from 'lightning/navigation';  And am calling the function as below: this[NavigationMixin.Navigate]({     type: 'standard__recordPage',     attributes: {         recordId: this.org.Id,         objectApiName: 'Account',         actionName: 'view'     } }); I've used "//" and "\" to create this "W", and have made them into outlines, as I'm trying to give the different layers a colour, as well as having a white space where the lines touch and I would like to remove the top of the second "\".   I'm struggling with the white space at the moment and now I've added a stroke, the fill has decreased. Is there another way I could do this?   I've also tried to use my pen tool to remove the top of the "\" but when using "Path Finder" I cannot find an option to "Minus Forward". I'm a newbie so any advice would be lovely :) I just finished backing up my system and when I try to upgrade to Utopic Unicorn, I get the error "Cannot Calculate the upgrades." I ran the upgrade by sudo apt-get dist-upgrade, sudo do-release-upgrade after the GUI method failed, they all gave the same error.  The feedback gives some recommendations:  This can be caused by:  * Upgrading to a pre-release version of Ubuntu  * Running the current pre-release version of Ubuntu  * Unofficial software packages not provided by Ubuntu    I am not upgrading to a pre-release version nor coming from one, I'm going from Ubuntu 14.04 LTS to 14.10. I have no broken packages and I have unchecked all my non-official software sources in the 'Software &amp; Updates' manager.  My guess left is the Unofficial software packages not provided by Ubuntu. If anyone could give any help as to how to check for unofficial packages using Synaptic or another, my appreciation.  Are there any other factors that may be causing this error and how would I go about checking/fixing those?  Thanks.  Edit: I have no broken or held packages. Everything is up-to-date, and restarting everything or anything has no effect.
