I was discussing this at work with a colleague today, which form (or both) is grammatically correct when referring to dates? &quot;on the 5th of November&quot; vs &quot;on the 5th November&quot;
A friend of mine, native EN speaker, told me that the following is correct written like this:      We met on the 1st of June.   Is that really true? I cannot see any reference that these are used in written text.
Step to reproduce  Answer a question; Answer gets accepted or upvoted; Receive notification in the app; Change the title of the question; Notification is duplicated with updated title.  Expected behavior When going into notifcations you should see only one entry for that reputation event. Actual behavior You get two notification entries. In the screen notice the two entries for the same question, the one related to EF. After answering I have changed the name to make it more searchable for future questions and i've noticed it.      App Version: 1.6.1.2 Device: iPhone 6s OS Version: Version 10.1.1 (Build 14B100) I need to generate random numbers within a specified interval, [max;min].  Also, the random numbers should be uniformly distributed over the interval, not located to a particular point.  Currenly I am generating as:  for(int i=0; i&lt;6; i++) {     DWORD random = rand()%(max-min+1) + min; }   From my tests, random numbers are generated around one point only.  Example min = 3604607; max = 7654607;   Random numbers generated:  3631594 3609293 3630000 3628441 3636376 3621404   From answers below: OK, RAND_MAX is 32767. I am on C++ Windows platform. Is there any other method to generate random numbers with a uniform distribution? Currently, for all my commands that require root access, I have to type them out on a command line.  I would like for the GUI to prompt me to key in my password, when sudo is required, instead of having to type out the commands from command line.  Is there any way to enable this? Previously one version of Ubuntu desktop had this feature out of the box.  This version of Ubuntu (that I am now running) I upgraded from a server installation.  I will add, my user account is already added to sudo group. Thus I can run commands such as sudo gedit or sudo apt-get but I'm not able to install software in the Ubuntu Software Center. FFmpeg lossy compression problems How to create two partitions? Why is there no last activity message? Too many SE sites causes confusion have already been created through .  have already completed their beta stage and are waiting for launch.  are in public beta stage.  are in commitment phase in   proposals are listed in   Now it is really confusing to find a suitable site to ask a question. As an example - I host a blog using . Now I have a question about this hosting. I want to post it in a . Where will I post? I have 2 options available now.     Are developers trying anything to solve this confusing matter? How much money did Harry Potter have? So, we know Harry . By descriptions from the books, it looks like he had enough money to spend during his school years with plenty to spare for later life.  Is there an estimate on how much money he had? How much would that be in muggle money? Was he extremely rich?  I'm thinking here that he could have received more than just an inheritance. For example, anonymous supporters could have given him money through the bank while he was a baby, or when he was about to go to Hogwarts, and he wouldn't have known (not even Dumbledore would have known). Interpreting the 'metric' column in routing table I'm a little confused about the output I'm seeing in my routing table, particularly the 'metric' column:  $ route -n Kernel IP routing table Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface 0.0.0.0         192.168.0.1     0.0.0.0         UG    0      0        0 wlan0 172.16.35.0     0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0 vmnet1 192.168.0.0     0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U     9      0        0 wlan0 192.168.82.0    0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0 vmnet8   According to the man page, metric indicates the 'distance' to the target. I was a little confused about what exactly "target" was. I assumed it was my router (it goes to gateway 0.0.0.0, which then goes to my router at 192.168.0.1). Thus, I expected the metric to be a single hop to my router. However, it's 9! Why is this so number high? Are these intended activities legal to do in the USA under the VWP? I'm a British citizen traveling to the USA next month with an ESTA to see my fiancee. I'm traveling there to plan our wedding, talk about a location to get married, and probably finalise a date and a booking with my fiancee (US citizen). This is the primary reason for my trip to the USA. Am I allowed to do this as a tourist? I would like to know for when the CBP officer asks me if this thing is allowed.  Am I allowed to enter the USA, on a separate trip (probably later this year), for the sole purpose of marrying my fiancee, provided I can persuade the CBP officer I intend to leave at the end of my trip? My fiancee and I are moving to the UK next year. How should I deal with becoming discouraged as a graduate student? I am a third year (starting fourth year in the fall) PhD student in mathematics. I've passed all qualifying exams and am currently doing research. As far as I can tell, I am not doing poorly. I have the good fortune of having a great advisor, being in a very supportive department, and having friends and family who genuinely care about my success.   The fact is research is hard. It appears to consist primarily of staring at a problem for days and days and days without getting anywhere. Sometimes, rarely, I do figure something out and that feels wonderful, but the overwhelming majority of my time appears to be spent banging my head against a mostly figurative wall. I am not complaining about the material being hard, and I am not averse to putting in hard work, but I get frequently discouraged when I realize the vast volumes of mathematics that I yet know nothing about (and probably never will). It's very hard to quantify progress - in particular, there are too few tangible returns after too many hours worked. I find myself thinking along the lines of "Oh, if only someone actually smart were thinking about this problem they would have solved it in moments" and so on.   I've talked about this to some number of people; here is some advice I have received:   Take a day off. Putting in hours upon hours of trying things doesn't magically lead to a solution, particularly if the brain is tired and just wants to sleep. Have a hobby. Since math research doesn't exactly provide instant gratification, a hobby might provide some instead.  Talk to other graduate students. Realize that many graduate students go through this.   I'm interested to know how other folks have dealt with being discouraged as a graduate student. Does it get better with time and experience? Is this a sign that research is not for me and that I should seriously consider a life outside academia?

How to identify a downvoting stalker Possible Duplicate:          Yeah I got a deranged stalker that keeps downvoting me.  Anyone know how going about identifying such individuals?

Batch Processing Quick Query I have like 50000 records that meet my condition for batch processing. My batch process begins at say 10:01 AM and ends at 10:10 AM. I set my batch size to be 200.  Can someone tell me what would happen  a) If an user creates a record at 10:03 AM that meet my condition...will this record be also be processed or not ?  b) Will the records which are getting processed during Batch 1 are technically locked till that particular batch is processed completely ?  c) What will be the behaviour if a record in Batch N does not meet my condition anymore but that particular batch has already been started to process ?  d) Is it possible to create a parallel processing of sorts such that Salesforce (instead of running one batch at a time) it will start processing parallely with multiple batches ?  I searched online and I could find manual/instructions with respect to how to run batch apex but I am not able to get clarity with respect to these specific cases. Getting "Not found" message when running a 32-bit binary on a 64-bit system I have currently a strange problem on debian (wheezy/amd64).  I have created a chroot to install a server (i can't give any more detail about it, sorry). Let's call its path /chr_path/. To make things easy, I have initialized this chroot with a debootstrap (also wheezy/amd64).  All seemed to work well inside the chroot but when I started the installer script of my server I got : zsh: Not found /some_path/perl (the installer includes a perl binary for some reasons)  Naturally, I checked the /some_path/ location and I found the "perl" binary. file in chroot environment returns :  /some_path/perl ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.2.5, not stripped   The file exists, seems ok, has correct rights. I can use file, ls, vim on it but as soon as I try to execute it - ./perl for example - I get : zsh: Not found ./perl.  This situation is quite understandable for me. Moreover :   I can execute other basic binaries (/bin/ls,...) in the chroot without getting errors I have the same problems for other binaries that came with the project When I try to execute the binary from the main root (/chr_path/some_path/perl), it works. I have tried to put one of the binaries with a copy of my ls. I checked that the access rights were the same but this didn't change anything (one was working, and the other wasn't) Why am I getting 50V at a light when the switch is off? How do I reset my main keychain and completely delete the old one? I changed my password and its been coming up with all of these popups asking for my new password when I first login. If anyone can help with updating my keychain I would appreciate it or you can just help me completely delete and reset it. $_POST empty on utf-8 characters Dual boot with windows 7!
