The review queue just presented me with .  Now, the question strikes me as 'opinion-based'. And it really doesn't help to add another opinionated answer. However, the question is out there, not closed, and the answer isn't spam or incoherent.  I wish that the late answer queue had buttons to do things like vote to close or downvote the question.
, I shouldn't need to vote down or flag the answer, because the question itself is a dog.      Users should be allowed to also enable the "I'm done" button by down voting, close voting or flagging the question rather than directly taking action on the answer.    Currently, I have to click on the question's title, close or down vote it in the new tab, then go back to the review page, and click "Not sure" to continue on my adventure.
I recently wiped my computer to have 14.10 as my only OS. It has 160 GB of storage. That was a month ago. Now, I keep getting prompts that the storage is almost full. And when I look it says I only have 543 MB free. How is this possible? I haven't torrented any large files. I do have Variety to autodownload wallpapers and not erase though.

A doubt on the definition of limit of a function definition I want to prove the definition of limit of a function from definition (1) to definition (2).  (1) A function $f(x)$ is said to have $f^*$ as the limit as $x$ tends $x^*$ iff for every sequence $\{x_n\}$ with limit $x^*$, the limit $\lim_{n-&gt;\infty}f(x_n)$ exists and is equal to $f^*$. (2) A function is said to have $f^*$ as the limit as $x$ tends $x^*$ iff for each $\epsilon &gt;0$, there exists a $\delta_\epsilon &gt;0$ such that $|f(x)-f^*| &lt;\epsilon \forall |x^*-x|&lt;\delta_\epsilon$  I am confused about the steps. Suppose I am given an $\epsilon &gt; 0$ and $x^*$. I have to show the existence of a $\delta_\epsilon &gt;0$ such that for all $x$ satisfying  $|x^*-x|&lt;\delta_\epsilon$ I can construct a sequence $x_n$ which converges to $x^*$ and $x_n=x$ for some $n \geq N$. Then I can say that $f(x_n)-f^*=f(x)-f^* &lt; \epsilon$. I think I may have made some mistake about the steps.  My main confusion is the following : Suppose I choose $\delta_\epsilon=\epsilon$. Then if a sequence $\{x_n\}$ converges to $x^*$ then $x_n=x$ (where $x$ satisfies $|x-x^*|&lt;\epsilon$) for some $n\geq N$. Now, $\lim_{n-&gt;\infty}f(x_n)$ exists implies there exists an $M$ such that $\forall n\geq M$, $f(x_n)-f^* &lt;\epsilon$. Now, I need to show that for some $n \geq M$ indeed $x_n=x$. How do I show that ? This $M$ and $N$ are different. Prove that $\frac{ 5^{125}-1}{ 5^{25}-1}$ is a composite number list transparency across non consecutive slides On sites with new responsive theme, word wrap on long titles breaks in the middle of a word Physical meaning of this integral in $k$-space I am trying to solve an integral in $k$-space where I want to calculate the ratio of the average energy of an arbitrary electronic band ($E(k)=k^n)$ to the square of average group velocity of electrons($v_g   = k^{n-1})$ approximately in the form of this expression given by $$L=\frac{\frac{\sum_{\mathbf{k}}k^{n}}{\sum_{\mathbf{k}}1}}{\left(\frac{\sum_{\mathbf{k}}k^{n-1}}{\sum_{\mathbf{k}}1}\right)^2}\;.$$  Now, I want to do this for $d$-dimensions, so I convert this sum to integral.  $$L=\frac{\dfrac{\int_{0}^{k_f}k^{n} d^d k}{\int_{0}^{k_f}1d^d k}}{\left(\dfrac{\int_{0}^{k_f}k^{n-1}d^d k}{\int_{0}^{k_f}1d^d k}\right)^2}$$ where $d^dk  = \dfrac{d \pi^{d/2}}{\Gamma(\frac{d}{2}+1)}k^{d-1}dk$ is the volume element in $d$-dimensional space.  I want to get a simple expression for $L$ and how it depends with $k_f,n$ and $d$. any physical insight into this integral could also be helpful. Fluid filled harmonic oscillator A vessel (preferably circular) filled with water is accelerating unidirectionally such that the level of water is higher on one end than the other. What I want to know is that if the vessel is immediately stopped, the water level will force itself back to the equilibrium point, but in doing so push the other end up. If water is an ideal fluid, what type of oscillation will occur in this situation.   I can tell that maybe the mathematical expression for this oscillation will be complex, but please do let me know if I am thinking this correctly.   I am considering, finding the oscillation equation for infinitesimally small u-tubes(considering a 2-d plane) and integrating it to get the final expression.  Thanks in advance To estimate the time for brute-force attack we need to compute keyspace size divided by hash rate, where the hash rate (hash/second) varies depending on the computer's capabilities.  The website  shows the hash rate for different computers.  Can you explain the following two confusing phenomena?   The hash rate decreases as the message size increases. Core i3 has a higher hash rate than Core i7 for SHAKE128. Awesome WM menu missing Firefox After sudo apt-get install awesome awesome-extra and logging into it (with no previous configuration that I know of), there's no menu entry for Firefox. All my other stuff is there - Mutt, Meld, jEdit, BOINC, etc., only Firefox is missing. I have no ~/.config/awesome/ directory, so there should be no override in place. Is there a way to include all the jar files within a directory in the classpath?  I'm trying java -classpath lib/*.jar:. my.package.Program and it is not able to find class files that are certainly in those jars.  Do I need to add each jar file to the classpath separately?

How do you maximize the cycle count of your battery?  There seems to be a debate between:   Leave plugged in 24/7 but do a full cycle once a month Charge to ~100%, drain to ~10%, repeat.   NOTE: Taking your   Which method is better and why? How much of a difference does it really make?  Here are some of the better sources I've found about battery behavior so far. Even still I feel they don't conclusively answer the question above. See my elaborations below:           Elaborating on Option 1  Now IF Apple engineers were smart and optimized for AC draw when plugged in to not use up your charge cycles, then it seem logical to assume that you are using effectively none of your 1000 charge cycles while plugged in. If that's the case, it would seem that the LiPo drop from holding at 100% would be vastly outweighed by the fact you're not using any charge cycles.  However, this is a purely speculative assumption and I could find no evidence to either confirm or deny.  If this is NOT true, and the AC adapter only goes to charging the battery, then there would be no difference. Your battery would drain to 99%, then back up to 100%, then back down to 99%, etc. Those micro-charge cycles would add up at the same rate as 100% -> 0% -> 100%, and you would get no gain. In this case the negative effect of holding LiPo batteries at 100% would outweigh everything else.  Elaborating on Option 2  There are lots of good reasons why Option 2 is the way it is:   Because of known LiPo chemistry issues, holding a 100% charge for a long time causes the battery to degrade Apple specifically recommends not to leave it plugged in all the time  Draining a battery all the way to zero all the time is bad for the cell (Which is why ~10% is used) Heat is a killer, and when plugged in AND charging, you get extra heat that causes damage.   There are a couple reasons why I'm challenging Option 2:   It seems silly that the most intuitive use case for thousands of people that use their macs as primary computers is wrong. If the hypothesis in option 1 is true, you're just burning unnecessarily through your finite charge cycles. It's a pain to have to remember to keep plugging in and plugging out and be worried about whether or not your device is plugged in. Interesting topics to research in mathematical physics for undergraduates Converting the beta coefficient from matrix to scalar notation in OLS regression Over the time I've been able to vote for closure on SO, I've gotten into the habit of clicking on the reason itself in order to select the radio button corresponding to it. Since the reasons have changed, there are also now links in the middle of the text, which I also happen to accidentally keep clicking on. More annoyingly, these links don't open in a new tab so I have to click back and redo it. This happens most often with the "FAQ" link in the off-topic dialog, which is right there in the top left corner where I normally click.        Basically, those pieces of text now have two functions. One function of it is selecting the corresponding radio button and the other function is loading a new page. Obviously loading the new page trumps simple selection.  This has become even more painful now with the new off-topic messages, where a large portion of the message is a link:        A simple feature request: can the vote-to-close dialog itself not render the links?
