Can other users see exact number of things (edit, votes, review jobs), that I should do, to reach next badge? Or are they only able to estimate this, by looking at my badges ("guy has , but not yet , so he edited between 80 and 500 posts" -- or something like that)?
Is there a way to view your own progress towards certain badges? For example:   Tumbleweed - What value constitutes low views for a week? Fanatic  – Is there a way to view how many days in a row you currently have? Beta – Is it even possible to get this badge anymore?
How do I get the form id of my form? I've just begun to make my modules and I'm at a standstill. I got this code from someone else and am trying to customize it:  function hook_form_alter(&amp;$form, &amp;$form_state, $form_id) {   if ($form_id == 'the form id for the node form') {     $form['#submit'][] = 'my_custom_submit_handler';   } } How do I avoid checking for updates for a specific module? In a current project I have had to patch the life out of a few modules (node hierarchy, workbench access and a few more). These modules are now absolutely perfect for the project's needs and are very unlikely to break with future updates to core.  That being said, when the app is handed over the clients will have full (user 1) access to the system and will therefore be warned when these modules have available updates. And they will update them, no matter how many times I beg them not to (oh how easy life would be without clients!).  Is there a way (perhaps in the modules' .info files) to persuade the update manager not to check for updates for these modules?  EDIT  I'm aware of the project status url key that's available for the .info file so I guess I could set that to a non-existent URL but I'd much rather do this in a clean way if possible. Hot chicken soup takes hours to cool I made a big pot of a very hot chicken soup. I put it in my small extra fridge at 11 PM, and it was still warm 9 hours later, at 8 AM.  Do I need to throw it away? Short example of regular expression converted to a state machine? Using setminus notation with set elements The "correct" way to write a set without a specific element is as follows: $S \setminus \{s\}$  But in some contexts this is cumbersome to write/type or read, and it detracts from the flow of the writing. Is it acceptable to just use $S \setminus s$?  Edit: By "cumbersome" i mean they look bad when you're trying to inline formulas in LaTeX. When a new tag is created, should there be some kind of notification to the user?  This could serve a dual purpose:   To make the user check that this tag is really required.  Is it spelt right? Might there be a more appropriate tag to use instead? - See  To promote the creation of tag wikis.   These are both beneficial to the site.  Making users think twice about their tags reduces the amount of retagging edits that are needed and reduces noise.  Promoting tag wikis means that more new tags would come with explainations, making them more user-friendly for others.  Creating a new tag is a privilidge earned at 1500 reputation.  Hopefully the user has gained a feel for the ethos of SO by this point, and is either enjoying being a contributer or is mainly asking good, well recieved questions.  The user is probably also wanting to contribute to the site further (even if just to gain reputation), and so it makes sense to me that there should be a gentle push towards taking a little bit of time to write a short wiki for the tag you just created.  By no means should this be mandatory, and the precise format of this gentle push is more in the scope of UX guys to think up, but I wanted to see how people felt about some kind of discreet notification.  I thought of two forms this notification could take:  Option 1 - at the time of tagging      Option 2 - after posting      Update: Raphael has suggested in the comments that this could be implemented as a 10K user tool.  While I think that's a good idea on its own, I don't think it should be used instead.  I think that encouraging users with less than 10K to complete wikis for their own tags is likely to get some wikis written because there is a sense of ownership over your own tag, and by giving it a wiki you are giving it a better start in life. As with a child, users will want to equip their tag with the tools it will need to survive in the big wide world. mysterious error: \pdfendlink ended up in different nesting level than \pdfstartlink I ran into the "mysterious"  \pdfendlink ended up in different nesting level than \pdfstartlink   error.  According to , "this happens when hyperref is used under pdftex and a citation splits across a page boundary".  The given solution is to manual fix the citation to not split across the page boundary.  However, this workaround isn't feasible for me, as the documents are automatically generated on a server with no user interaction.  Is there any solution to the problem known, perhaps an experimental hyperref action or a patch to pdftex?  (Probably, one could use luatex to solve the problem, but for other reasons, luatex is not an option in this project.)  MWE:  \documentclass[%draft               ]{article} \usepackage{hyperref} \setlength{\textwidth}{3cm} \setlength{\textheight}{3cm}  \begin{document} Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consetetur sadipscing elitr, sed diam nonumy eirmod tempor invidunt ut labore et dolore magna \href{http://www.tug.org/errors}{aliquyam erat, sed diam voluptua.} \end{document} I am sitting inside a closed room with a cement ceiling just above my head. The pressure of the atmosphere is exerted on the ceiling from above(outside). But solid cement not being a fluid does not transport that pressure into my room. But i still feel the atm pressure which has no way to be transported into the room.I do not boil to death or anything. How does this happen? Upgrade OpenSSH 7.4 to later on RHEL I have a Red Hat Enterprise Linux server (7.5 x86_64). I have OpenSSH version 7.4. I was asked to upgrade it to a later version for security reasons: Nessus states that . However the Red Hat software and downloads does not have the latest package RPM.  I found some clues on where to get the latest package for OpenSSH. I found , however, I do not know on how to upgrade it and trust this website. I do not want the SSH and other configuration to be modified by the ugrade.  I did find links but however they are not useful, for example .  I would like to know how to upgrade OpenSSH without using yum. Bash One Liner: copy template_*.txt to foo_*.txt? Say I have three files (template_*.txt):   template_x.txt template_y.txt template_z.txt   I want to copy them to three new files (foo_*.txt).    foo_x.txt  foo_y.txt  foo_z.txt   Is there some simple way to do that with one command, e.g.   cp --enableAwesomeness template_*.txt foo_*.txt Blender render crash when using subsurf modifiers. Essentially, my problem is that i am trying to render a scene, however, blender crashes on me early during the render. I only have about 14 total objects in the scene. (It's not that complex) I tried to render a different blender file which was bigger than the one that i am having problems with, and the scene renders just fine. There is no difference in the render presets for both of these files. However, i still cannot render the other scene. It gets to preparing scene data, but then it crashes.  Thank you. Can we clarify to the OP that their question is not yet closed and the duplicates are only suggestions? I keep seeing custom flags in the queue from question askers who are incredibly irritated because there is a big, prominent box at the top of their question. It's just a list of other questions which may have the answer they desire, and is only even displayed to them because the question is not closed yet.  This question may already have an answer here: [list]  But to an ordinary user, it is not at all clear that the box is only shown to them, or that it will go away on its own if their question never actually gets closed. Could the text for this notice be altered to make it more clear that:  They are just suggestions for the person to view. Potentially if they agree with one, they should vote to close their own question as a duplicate of it.  Their question is not closed yet. If they disagree with the duplicates suggested, they should clarify their question and explain why it's not a duplicate.   I was thinking of an altered wording such as:  You might be able to find an answer to your question here: [list] If those answers do not fully address your question, please [edit your question] to clarify your exact problem.  I went with a more direct wording for the bolded title. Since the notice is only displayed to the asker, it makes more sense to talk directly to them in the message rather than making it feel like it's supposed to be addressing the entire audience of the site. Emphasize that only that person is seeing it by talking to them. It would also be helpful to append a &quot;More info&quot; link at the end of the message that links them to some further documentation about duplicates, and explains how the notice works - particularly that it will go away eventually or change to a proper duplicate notice if the question does get closed. Configure HAProxy to include host headers for different backends I am exploring the use of HAProxy as a balancer in front of a set of web apis that run on IIS.   node1.myapp.mycompany.com node2.myapp.mycomapny.com   We are currently using Host Headers to correctly resolve the right web application on IIS.  For example, we may have otherapp.mycompany.com running on the same server/port, but using Host Headers IIS knows which one to serve up.  My initial attempt at HAProxy left me with 404 errors, because I was not including the host headers in my request, and so IIS was serving back the default site bound to the given IP, and not resolving by host name.    The fix left me with something like this:  frontend localnodes     bind *:80     mode http     default_backend nodes  backend nodes     mode http     balance roundrobin     option forwardfor     reqirep ^Host: Host:\ node1.myapp.mycompany.com     server web01 node1.myapp.mycompany.com:80   This works great for a single backend, but I am left scracthing my head on how to include the correct host headers depending on which backend is serving up the request:  backend nodes     mode http     balance roundrobin     option forwardfor     reqirep ^Host: Host:\ node1.myapp.mycompany.com     server web01 node1.myapp.mycompany.com:80     server web02 node2.myapp.mycompany.com:80   The above does not work whenever node2 is used because it doesn't resolve correctly in IIS (node2 in this case is on a different server, and therefore different IP.  In fact, if they were running on the same server/ip I suspect the request work "work", but they would all be served by node1 per the host header).     Is it possible to set the host based on the url of the backend used to serve up the request? If so, this implies my checks also need to provide the correct host header based on backend, how would that be done?   Edit: Am using HA-Proxy version 1.7.9 2017/08/18  Let me give this just a little more background.  We used to have just myapp.mycompany.com serving up api requests.  We need to expand it.  Our clients will still call myapp.mycompany.com, but that will just point to the HAProxy, which will balance it out to node1.myapp.mycompany.com and node2.myapp.mycompany.com.  Our current server configurations have us binding a single IP address on each server, so we use host headers to resolve. I am a US citizen and have recently visted the UK  with simply a passport which allowed me to vist for 6months I have heard rumors that I am obligated to stay in the US for a Equal amount of time that I have visited the UK before I am able to return, but I am struggling tour no any proof of this obligation .. Am I missing somthing or is it simply not true Because of the Rule of Two, is/was Sidious the strongest Sith ever? The Sith Rule of Two says: One to embody power, one to crave it. It's like a survival of the fittest.   If the apprentice must kill the master to be the master, that usually means the apprentice is stronger than the master. If this chain went on for many years, does this mean Sidious was the strongest Sith ever, just by the transitive property? How do I disable "you need to format this disk" message in Windows Vista/7? I've started using TrueCrypt to encrypt a partition on an external USB hard drive. I've opted for using a raw partition as opposed to a file container.  But here's the annoyance. Whenever I connect this drive to a computer running Vista or Windows 7, I get the message popup "You need to format the disk in drive J: before you can use it".   The default option is "Format disk", and I'm afraid one of these days I'll accidentally trigger it.  Is there any way to disable this message? Relativistic speed/energy relation. Is this correct? Using fflush(stdin) Basically this suggestion for the Android app:   Many times I'll see that a post has been edited on the Android app. I'll want to see exactly what was edited, and the Android app doesn't show this. Can the revision history be added to the Android app? What are some good examples of a function  $f : \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}$ where its derivative is equal to its inverse? I attempted to find a monomial that satisfied it by starting with $f(x) = ax^b$ and showing that $f^{-1}(x) = f'(x) \implies b-1=\frac{1}{b} \implies b=\phi$ and got $$f(x) = \frac{x^\phi}{\sqrt[\phi]{\phi}}$$ Which seems to work according to WolframAlpha, but I'm having trouble double-checking it. Any other ideas?
