bash: syntax error near unexpected token `}' The question Is there any way to automatically scale and put an entire document on an A0 page? The thesis for which this is to be done is available as LaTeX code, as well as PDF output. Of course I know it is possible to do this manually, but I would prefer a LaTeX solution.  A small background Our university introduced a new page limit for master theses. This is not exactly appreciated by the teaching staff as well as students. To make a little joke, we decided to try to arrange an entire thesis (of approximately 200 pages) on a A0 poster, put it up in the hallway, and put a magnification glass next to it with a note saying: &quot;New page limit introduced: 1 page maximum for all upcoming theses!&quot;  The final result As some of you asked for this: below you can see a picture of the final result. (I &quot;professionally removed&quot; some of the sensitiv information.) We presented the poster during my final presentation and everyone liked it a lot! Now, it is on display next to my office and is still attracting some attention once in a while. Changing Locale within the app itself Reproject GeoJSON from EPSG:3857 to EPSG:4326 A problem about wave equation "Was going to" versus "would be" as the past tense of "will" Do you think that "was going to be" or "would be" could be used as past tense of will?     I thought this book was going to be your choice.        I thought this book would be your choice.   Do these two sentences basically mean the same thing or are they slightly different? ffmpeg - how to apply filters without losing quality Minimize the sum of distances between two point and a circle Let's $A$,$B$ and $O$ be random point in a plane, such that they are not colinear. Let's $c$ be a circle centered on $O$, such that points $A$ and $B$ are outside of it. Find a point $X$ that lies on the circle $c$ and the sum $AX + BX$ is minimal.  First I tried to minimize the function:  $$f(x,y) = \sqrt{(A.x - x)^2 + (A.y - y)^2} + \sqrt{(B.x - x)^2 + (B.y - y)^2}$$ with  constraint $$g(x,y) = x^2 + y^2 - r^2 = 0$$  By moving $O$ to $(0,0)$ and do the same with $A$,$B$ so the relative distance will not change.  But these works when we know the coordinates of $A$,$B$ and the radius of the circle. Yet this isn't the right way because the problem is to construct that point.  Later I tried to approach using geometry.  The smallest distance from the point $A$ to the circle is the intersection of the circle $c$ and the ray $OA$, this is the same for $B$. Then we construct circles centered on $A$ and $B$ that are tangent to $c$. If the two circle intersect we'll get a common point for the both $A$ and $B$ and the distance will be minimal. Using computer I find the point X should be somewhere around the intercetion of the circle $c$ and the ray from $O$ to the new point.   Sometimes the optimal point differs just a bit and also this method fails when the two circles do not intersect each other .NET OpenSource projects and strong named assemblies? Is it possible to create .stp 3D model from Graphics3D ？ Mysql crashed, dumped DB's in recovery mode. What now? What is the shortest way to compute the last 3 digits of $17^{256}$? What is the shortest way to compute the last 3 digits of $17^{256}$ ?  My solution: \begin{align} 17^{256} &amp;=289^{128} \\ &amp;=(290 - 1)^{128}\\ &amp;=\binom{128}{0}290^{128} -  ... +\binom{128}{126}290^2 - \binom{128}{127}290 + \binom{128}{128} \end{align}  Computed the last 3 terms whose last 3 digits gave the last 3 digits of $17^{256}$.  Is there any shorter method to do this(which requires much less computation) ? From command line open package installer "Above"/"below" before/after a noun How quickly does the Ultimate Meter fill up? The information on the :     Ultimate abilities are powerful abilities only available to a hero   once their Ultimate Meter has filled. Progress towards an Ultimate   persists through death. The Ultimate Meter fills by killing/dealing   damage to enemy heroes, though Mercy gradually fills hers through   healing with her Caduceus Staff, and Torbjörn's turret generates   Ultimate progress for him. The amount of Ultimate gained appears to   vary between heroes, and kills seem to grant less Ultimate than   dealing damage.   Nowhere does it explain how quickly the meter is gained, and what % of meter corresponds to damage.  I know that in addition to that, meter is also passively gained for all heroes, albeit very slowly. What is the rate of that passive Ultimate meter? How does damage correspond to ultimate meter %? Windows INSERT key anti-functionality accidentally triggers; how to stop it permanently? The locker problem - why squares? There are 1000 lockers in a high school with 1000 students.  The    problem begins with the first student opening all 1000 lockers; next    the second student closes lockers 2,4,6,8,10 and so on to locker 1000;   the third student changes the state (opens lockers closed, closes    lockers open) on lockers 3,6,9,12,15 and so on; the fourth student    changes the state of lockers 4,8,12,16 and so on. This goes on until    every student has had a turn.      How many lockers will be open at the end?   I worked out this problem by doing it for 10 lockers. The pattern was obvious (1,4,9 remained open).It's easy to then say that 31 lockers remain open at the end. I don't quite understand why only square numbers remain open at the end. Is there some deeper reason? I know base 2 and base 10 , MB and MiB, but i'm not understanding the byte counts shown for a directory, by du and by windows explorer The du command shows 43G in use. I'm not sure whether that's base 2 in the sense of 2^30 or if it's base 10, in the sense of 10^9.  But anyhow -   Running this du command from cygwin, to see the size of the windows directory (done from an administrative command prompt - since it seemed to have some issues reading some directories otherwise)  user@comp ~ $ du -sh /cygdrive/c/windows 43G     /cygdrive/c/windows   Windows Explorer  which I understand shows it in 'base 2', (a larger unit for KB,MB,GB than base 10 KiB, MiB e.t.c.), and hence a lower quantity of that larger unit is required to give the same result.    Windows explorer shows      46.6GB  , over 50 billion bytes.    (according to windows explorer)  or  46.8GB  , over 50 billion bytes. (according to windows explorer)  So, du aside.  Even if I multiply the larger figure, 46.8GB  by 1.048576 then I get 49.0733568 that's not over 50 billion. So that's part A of the question,  but then also, part B of the question, why is the du figure so low. Given that$(3x-1)^7=a_7x^7+a_6x^6+a_5x^5+...+a_1x+a_0$, find $a_7+a_6+a_5+a_4+...+a_1+a_0$ Given that$$(3x-1)^7=a_7x^7+a_6x^6+a_5x^5+...+a_1x+a_0$$find $$a_7+a_6+a_5+a_4+...+a_1+a_0$$  Is there anyway to do the question without using binomial theorem and expanding the expression on the LHS?? About free quarks and confinement I simply know that a single free quark does not exist. What is the reason that we can not get a free quark?  If we can't get a free quark then what is single-top-quark?
