I know that because of type erasure, all generic parameters are erased during compilation so if we have the following methods  public void addToList(List&lt;Orange&gt; list){} public void addToList(List&lt;Apple&gt; list){}   They will both end up looking somewhat like this after type erasure   public void addToList(List list){}   And this is all understandable until you take into consideration that the compiler won't let you do this  public static void addToList(List&lt;Orange&gt; list){} public static void main(String args[]){       List&lt;Apple&gt; list = new Arraylist&lt;&gt;();       addToList(list); //Error: passing a list of apples to a list of oranges }   If we attempt to do something like this, the compiler won't let us, which means that the compiler knows the generic type of our lists. So I'm confused as to why the compiler is more than willing to throw errors at us, but pretends like it can't tell the difference between two overloaded methods?
What is the concept of erasure in generics in Java?
Select Input Texture file name as parameter/node I am trying to create a material node group for triplanar mapping, but I am not sure how I can parameterize the image texture name.   I have 3 image texture nodes, which all use the same file with the same settings, the only difference is the vector input.  Is there a way I can make it so that I only have to select the texture name once, possibly as a input for a group? How do I create an immutable Class? What are the left and right ideals of matrix ring? How about the two sided ideals? Does "Delete Local Content" retain save files? If you remove a single player game installation with the Delete Local Content option from the Steam Libary, in general will save files be deleted or retained? Deriving Newton's Third Law from homogeneity of Space Is there a function whose inverse is exactly the reciprocal of the function, that is $f^{-1} = \frac{1}{f}$? Is there a function whose inverse is exactly the reciprocal of the function? That is $f^{-1} = \frac{1}{f}$.  We know that the inverse of a function is not necessarily equal to its reciprocal in general. According to the microtype manual, Kerning, Spacing and Tracking are not enabled by default in pdftex (>= 1.4). What are the reasons for this? Two different solutions to integral When asking a new question and typing in the title we get a list of similar questions named     Questions that may already have your answer     That suggestions contains posts across all tags. Like the example in the screenshot it returns similar questions for Python, jQuery, SQL, C#, Java, C++, ...  This makes the list less useless unlikely people find a question that already answers theirs. If people actually find a similar question in that list many duplicates could be avoided.  So can tags I entered below the question be considered to update the list? And can the tag textbox maybe put above the question title?

I can't see anything - Teams banner and cookie toaster obscure my whole screen There have been  for a while, but this is ridiculous. It reminds me of , but this time it's network-wide.   The banner must be scrolled past (or dismissed) on every page unless both first-party JavaScript and first-party cookies are enabled. If first-party JavaScript is enabled, and the banner is visible, the rest of the page jumps up and down every so often.  Under certain circumstances (not quite sure what they are, yet – a direct link to an answer, maybe? I'm seeing it ) the entire page jumps up and down a line every few seconds even when the banner is off-screen.   The cookie banner keeps coming back unless both third-party JavaScript  are enabled (and  is solved). The cookie box occludes the “Learn more about Teams” link in the banner (with default Firefox window sizes) and the Job / Teams link in the sidebar.  As it stands,  – a site for hobbyists and researchers, whose audience is not very likely to purchase Teams – is much, much harder to use, for no benefit that I can see. Can you roll back this change, please? I am coding a small Python module composed of two parts:   some functions defining a public interface, an implementation class used by the above functions, but which is not meaningful outside the module.   At first, I decided to "hide" this implementation class by defining it inside the function using it, but this hampers readability and cannot be used if multiple functions reuse the same class.  So, in addition to comments and docstrings, is there a mechanism to mark a class as "private" or "internal"? I am aware of the underscore mechanism, but as I understand it it only applies to variables, function and methods name. Let K={(1),(12)(34),(13)(24),(14)(23)} show that K is a normal subgroup of the alternating group of degree A4 and find all the members of A4/K and write down the group table for A4/K.   i know that K is the Klein four group and i have already proven it is a normal subgroup but i need a start on approaching the A4/K part of this question no direct answers are necessary,just ideas thank you! :) I have a text file abc.txt and its contents are:     /lag/cnn/org/one.txt    /lag/cnn/org/two.txt    /lag/cnn/org/three.txt   If I use:  $ tar -cvf allfiles.tar -T abc.txt   I'm getting the tar of files in the list. Similarly is it possible to copy those files in abc.txt to a folder?  I tried this:              $ cp --files-from test1.txt ./Folder   But it is not working.

What Wording Did Witches and Wizards in Other Cultures Use for Spells? The spells that we know about in the Harry Potter world all seem to be either in Latin, derived from Latin, or resembling Latin.  This makes sense for the European World, but there were likely witches and wizards in Africa, Asia, and the Americas.  These cultures would have developed independently, and the magical people in them would likely have still found ways to cast their spells.  Do cultures with languages that did not derive from Latin use the same words and phrases that are related to Latin for their spells?  Or did they have other phrases based on the languages in their cultures?
