I am quite aware of  for editing questions and answers, but there are several cases that I would find useful to just copy the raw text of another question/answer. Some examples are:  Complex  entries about math formulas that I might want to integrate, modify, or copy. On the spot quick reminder of a special uncommon attribute (e.g., HTML)  Is this an already existing functionality?
Once a post has been edited, you can go into the revision list, and click "View Source".  If a post has not been edited (and I don't have the edit privilege) is there any way to see the raw Markdown?  The reason I ask I because of  - it's impossible to see the source markdown, and how it's different from the rendered Markdown.  Not exactly a huge issue, just curious!
What's the best way to use SOAP with Ruby? A client of mine has asked me to integrate a 3rd party API into their Rails app.  The only problem is that the API uses SOAP.  Ruby has basically dropped SOAP in favor of REST.  They provide a Java adapter that apparently works with the Java-Ruby bridge, but we'd like to keep it all in Ruby, if possible.  I looked into soap4r, but it seems to have a slightly bad reputation.  So what's the best way to integrate SOAP calls into a Rails app? $ a\in \Bbb Z_n$ is invertible $\,\Rightarrow\gcd (a,n) =1$ Every season near the trade deadline, we see teams that are out of it trading expensive players and/or free agents-to-be, typically for younger players or prospects.  For example, Matt Garza, set to become a free agent after the season, was traded to the Rangers for a few prospects.  It made sense for the Cubs to trade Garza, because he wasn't under contract any further than this season, and thus doesn't have much value to them.  Compare Garza to someone like Mike Trout, who is likely the most valuable property in baseball, given his skill and inexpensive cost over the next several years.  There's no way the Angels would trade him, because he'll be the cost-controlled centerpiece of the team for years to come.  However, with the Angels out of it this year, what if they wanted to trade Trout to a contender (say the Pirates), but only for the remainder of this season?  That is, they'd get several top prospects now, and would have an agreement with the Pirates that they'd trade him back in the offseason (for something pretty worthless, say for a journeyman minor leaguer).  The Pirates get Trout for the stretch run and are happy to give up a few prospects.  Trout doesn't have much value to the Angels this year, but he has a ton of value for next year.  So they get a few prospects for him, in exchange for the part of his career which has very little value to them.  So in effect, the Pirates are renting or borrowing him for the remainder of 2013.  Why don't trades like this happen?  Are there any rules prohibiting trades like this? If you provide 0 as the dayValue in Date.setFullYear you get the last day of the previous month:  d = new Date(); d.setFullYear(2008, 11, 0); //  Sun Nov 30 2008   There is reference to this behaviour at . Is this a reliable cross-browser feature or should I look at alternative methods? Can any one help me out , based on quote line items can we create a layout like by prepopulating items, price &amp; qty and next 6 qtrs. Example below 2 part numbers are  in quote line items, also default the price from quote line item.  Upon saving ,it should save as detailed record for each quarter. Creating a custom object  and calling them in Visual force page or by using JavaScript and CSS .Any suggestions plz.I shall appreciate your help.  i tried previously in this way   &lt;apex:page standardController="CustomLineItem__c"  sidebar="false" showHeader="false"&gt;  &lt;apex:form &gt;   &lt;apex:pageBlock &gt;     &lt;apex:pageBlockButtons location="top"&gt;       &lt;apex:commandButton value="SAVE" action="{!SAVE}"/&gt;       &lt;apex:commandButton value="SAVE&amp;MORE" action="{!SAVE}"/&gt;       &lt;apex:commandButton value="CANCEL" action="{!CANCEL}"/&gt;     &lt;/apex:pageBlockButtons&gt;     &lt;apex:pageblockSection title="Schedule"&gt;       &lt;apex:inputField value="{!CustomLineItem__c.ProductPartNumbers__c}" label="Product"/&gt;        &lt;apex:inputField value="{!CustomLineItem__c.Year__c}" label="Year"/&gt;        &lt;apex:inputField value="{!CustomLineItem__c.PricingRequestsQuarterNos__c}" label="Quarter"/&gt;        &lt;apex:inputField value="{!CustomLineItem__c.Quantity__c}"/&gt;        &lt;apex:inputField value="{!CustomLineItem__c.Price__c}"/&gt;    &lt;/apex:pageblockSection&gt;   &lt;/apex:pageblock&gt;  &lt;/apex:form&gt; &lt;/apex:page&gt; Recursively copy files from one directory to another I have all my music in a folder /media/kalenpw/MyBook/Music/ABunchOfOtherFoldersWithFilesInside. I want to copy all of the mp3s to /media/kalenpw/HDD/Music so I used:  cp -R /media/kalenpw/MyBook/Music/*.mp3 /media/kalenpw/HDD/Music   however this only copied the mp3s in the root music folder and did not open any of the artist subdirectories and copy those files.  I was under the impression -R would recursively copy all the files. How can I achieve said goal? How to revert to GNOME Classic Desktop? I'm used to GNOME Classic and personally don't want to change to anything else, but it seems there is no more GNOME Classic in the Oneiric release. After apt-get installed gnome-session and all, though there comes back the GNOME Classic option in the session listbox, however, after logged in, it seems not the expected one.  There is no System menu in the top bar, and I couldn't customize panels at all. I want to change the appearance(theme), but I can't find Appearance menu at all. And much more differences to my previous experience of GNOME classic shell.    There are multiple valid answers for this question spanning over several versions of Ubuntu. For your convenience an index of each below:    and up      &amp; Browsing Quora, I saw the following  with contradicting answers.  For the :     The bits are represented by certain orientations of magnetic fields   which shouldn't have any effect on gravitational mass.   But,  contradicts that one:     Most importantly, higher information content correlates with a more   energetic configuration and this is true regardless of the particular   type of storage... Now, as per Einstein's most famous formula, energy   is equivalent to mass.   Which answer is correct? How did Enrico Fermi calculate the classical Fermi Problem? From Wikipedia: Fermi was known for his ability to make good approximate calculations with little or no actual data, hence the name. One example is his estimate of the strength of the atomic bomb detonated at the Trinity test, based on the distance travelled by pieces of paper dropped from his hand during the blast. Fermi's estimate of 10 kilotons of TNT was remarkably close to the now-accepted value of around 20 kilotons, a difference of less than one order of magnitude.  I have not been able to find any references explaining how he made this calculation. Please provide a reference or an example calculation.  See also: When I launch an app, the focus doesn't move to the opened app Let's say I have Gthumb open, and then launch Nautilus from the Unity launcher (in 12.04). Why does it sometimes not focus the mouse on Nautilus, which I just launched? Instead, the focus remains on Gthumb while Nautilus opens in front of Gthumb (and not being focused on).  Is this correct behaviour? There is some behavior I can't understand in the Unity Desktop.   Open nautilus via. clicking in the launcher onto the home-button Navigate to for example the windows-partition in nautilus Minimize nautilus Click on nautilus in the launcher doesn't open the nautilus with windows-partition, instead it opens a new window with the home folder.   Is there a workaround for this strange behavior?  Regards, Arthur Constants and compiler optimization in C++ I've read all the advice on const-correctness in C++ and that it is important (in part) because it helps the compiler to optimize your code. What I've never seen is a good explanation on how the compiler uses this information to optimize the code, not even the good books go on explaining what happens behind the curtains.    For example, how does the compiler optimize a method that is declared const vs one that isn't but should be. What happens when you introduce mutable variables? Do they affect these optimizations of const methods? Let $G$ be a finite group and $N$ a normal subgroup of $G$ of index $4$. Prove that $G$ has a subgroup of index $2$ (hence normal) and if $G/H$ is not cyclic then $G$ is equal to the union of three proper subgroups.   I understand that $G/H$ is isomorphic to $\mathbb{Z}_4$ or $\mathbb{Z}_2\times \mathbb{Z}_2$. Let $K^*$ be a subgroup of $G/H$ of order $2$. Then $K^*\cong K/H$ for some $K$ such that $H$ is normal in $K$ and hence $[G:K]=[G/H:K/H]=4/2=2$.  If $G/H$ is not cyclic then $G/H\cong \mathbb{Z}_2\times \mathbb{Z}_2$. I don't know how to prove $G$ is the union of three subgroups. Could it be true that as $G/H$ is the union of three proper subgroups $K_1^*,K_2^*,K_3^*$ then the corresponding groups $K_1,K_2,K_3$ have union equal to $G$? Would anyone give me a hint to prove this?  Thank you. Why use iterators instead of array indices? Take the following two lines of code:  for (int i = 0; i &lt; some_vector.size(); i++) {     //do stuff }   And this:  for (some_iterator = some_vector.begin(); some_iterator != some_vector.end();     some_iterator++) {     //do stuff }   I'm told that the second way is preferred. Why exactly is this? What sources of randomness can be made with commands in Minecraft? I want to make a mini game in Minecraft were I need a random command generator for 9 commands. I need a random command to give the player a random item. I can't do the command block in the dispenser any more because it will just drop out instead of being placed. What different ways are there for generating randomness in commands, and which one would be best for my use? This question is similar to the one about , but I am specifically attempting to get randomness when using commands - the redstone solutions do not apply here. Writing to NTFS drive in Linux Proving $f' = - \frac{\partial{F}/\partial{x}}{\partial{F}/\partial{y}}$ I am trying to prove that, if $f:\mathbb{R}\rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ and $F:\mathbb{R}^2\rightarrow\mathbb{R}$ are differentiable, $F$ satisfying $F(x,f(x))=0$ and $\partial{F}/\partial{y}\ne 0$ then $$f'(x)=-\frac{\partial{F}/\partial{x}}{\partial{F}/\partial{y}}$$  This appears in a section on the chain rule for many-variables functions, but without knowing the details of $F$ I find it very hard to prove much about it.  To the best of my ability to reason about it, I suppose I could say  $$ \frac{\partial{F}}{\partial{x}}=\frac{\partial{F}}{\partial{x}}\frac{\partial{x}}{\partial{x}} + \frac{\partial{F}}{\partial{y}}\frac{\partial{y}}{\partial{x}}$$  but for more than one reason I doubt that what I have written is correct.  Yet I'm not exactly sure what's wrong about it, nor can I guess what else I could do.  I tried finding the partial with respect to $y$ but got nothing more useful looking than this.  I also tried writing out limit definitions and saw no useful path forward through that. MySQL strip non-numeric characters to compare Display maximum possible count of sites in footer I have to prove the  by tomorrow and I am really unconfident about what I did:  $$\sum_{n=1}^\infty a_n\text{ converges } \iff \sum_{n=1}^\infty 2^n a_{2^n}\text{ converges}$$  I did the following:  Let $(b_n)$ be a sequence as follow: $b_{2^k+m}:=a_{2^k}$ with $k\in\mathbb N_0$ and $0\leq m&lt;2^k$.  It's $a_{n+1}\leq a_n$ and so $0\leq a_{n+p}\leq a_n$ for all $n,p\in\mathbb N$.  So $\sum\limits_{n=1}^\infty b_n$ converges by the majorizing series $\sum\limits_{n=1}^\infty a_n$. And it's $\sum\limits_{n=0}^\infty b_n=\sum\limits_{n=0}^\infty\sum\limits_{m=0}^{2^n-1}a_{2^{n+1}}=\sum\limits_{n=1}^\infty 2^{n-1}a_{2^n}$ so $\Rightarrow$ is done.  For $\Leftarrow$ consider $c_{2^k+m}:=a_{2^k}$ with $k\in\mathbb N_0$ and $0\leq m&lt;2^k$.  It's $|a_n|\leq c_n$ and $\sum\limits_{n=0}^\infty c_n=\sum\limits_{n=0}^\infty\sum\limits_{m=0}^{2^n-1}a_{2^{n}}=\sum\limits_{n=1}^\infty 2^{n}a_{2^n}$ and so $\sum\limits_{n=1}^\infty a_n$ converges by the majorizing series $\sum\limits_{n=0}^\infty c_n$.  Is this in form and content correct?
