I got and installed Steam a few months ago in my system drive. And then I got a backup of Dota 2 and installed it. It was fine till a month ago before my lap top got broken. With passing problems and finally getting my new pc and recovering a small amount of my past laptop data I found out that my Steam client has been removed.    Now the problem is that I have my Dota game folder (it's not the backup file) but I don't have my Steam client and I should reinstall it. After that am I gonna be able to play Dota again? Or should I download it from the beginning? It may not be an important thing in developed countries but in mine it is. 12GB is a huge amount for downloading!
I have a failure to transfer my game from one HDD to another, and one PC to another. I copied the entire Skyrim folder from one HDD to another. And told where to find it also. Steam did a huge check of my HDD.  But it ended up downloading most of the files anyway. It took a week to download Dawnguard, Hearthfire, and Dragonborn files along with my Hi-Res textures.  I did ask about it in chat. But I feel this could help me or somebody else.  This is the screen I am looking at after transferring my entire hard drive to to new one. Steam downloaded my games, including Skyrim even though my Skyrim data folder had all the data files for Dawnguard, Hearthfire, Hi-Res and Dragonborn.  I have my copied files and have got rid of everything not steam related. I just have my DLCs and they include my hires files.  This is what it looks like.    But I still get this :     What could be causing this? How can I rectify? And in future when one is migrating to a new PC, how can this be avoided?  EDIT::::::::::::::::: Removed everything : Here is how it looks :  Still the prompt as before Steam Error 15  (Side Note : I transferred all my Origin games just by copy/pasting. This really is not nice.)    EDIT 2 :::::::::::::::::::::  And one more EDIT  I tried getting game cache up to speed, but this is prompt I am getting. But I played the game, it was working, I could pick out my character and all, and escape from Helgen.  EDITED 3 :::::::::::::::::  How does one transfer a Steam game? A game that is heavily modded, will the backup a Steam Game option suffice?

In this role, I am part of ’s organization.   Our team is continuously making improvements to the ads experience on our sites. One of the changes we’re excited about sharing is the new Report this Ad feature now available on some of our sites. We want to continue to give our communities more native control over their ad experience. We needed a quantifiable way to receive feedback and this feature will allow that.  We enforce strict  on the types of advertisers we work with but cannot fully control what is shown due to how advertising delivery works. However, being able to hear from our users about problematic ads will be a huge benefit as we can address those problems faster and with more accuracy. The Report this Ad feature will allow us to quickly see and investigate ads reported by you which matters to us because we want to hear your thoughts.  Furthermore, this new feature ensures that the members of our communities have a built-in way to report ads they consider problematic when we test any new ad formats/solutions.  We are launching this feature on 5 sites initially (, , , , and ) to get a good understanding of what we can expect in terms of numbers of reports whenever launching this to the entire network. Prior to launching it network-wide, we’ll share general results we’ve seen here.  What happens once an ad is reported?  All reports will be consolidated into a dashboard that the team will look at several times per week to spot irregularities in terms of the total number of reports, report categories, and on an advertising campaign basis. We will not be replying to individual reports, but we will reach out to our advertisers, to share feedback or notify them if the ad being reported does not fit our guidelines. We may also evaluate our policies in response to large numbers of reports not covered by them. Since we don’t have a baseline for the number of ads that are going to be reported using this new feature, we will consider reevaluating the process if the current process doesn’t scale.    We’d like to share an update on the progress of this feature:   We've launched this feature on 5 SE sites (Server Fault, Database Administrators, Arqade, Game Development, and Unix &amp; Linux) initially for logged in users only, and for anonymous users afterward. The report this ad button was shown several million times (of which roughly 65% paid ads and 35% house ads). We showed several dozens of different ad campaigns. So far we have received 0 reports. We've tested the feature several ways, found some minor bugs (which have been/are being fixed), however, in the vast majority of the scenarios the feature works well (we’re happy to be ).   We’re currently graduating this feature and are releasing it network-wide this week. Feel free to comment below if you have any questions/comments. What's the fastest and easiest to read implementation of calculating the sum of digits?  I.e. Given the number: 17463 = 1 + 7 + 4 + 6 + 3 = 21 Why must the eigenvalue of the number operator be an integer? My apologies if this question has already been answered. Using the notation of Sakurai, we have an energy eigenket N and an eigenvalue n.  $$N | n \rangle = n | n \rangle$$  For the number operator $N = a^\dagger a $. My question is precisely why does n have to be an integer. I do understand that it must be positive definite due to the norm condition on $ a | n \rangle $:  $$\langle n | a^\dagger a | n \rangle \geq 0$$  I can see that we can show:  $$ a | n \rangle = \sqrt{n-1} | n-1 \rangle $$ and similarly for $a^\dagger | n \rangle$  Sakurai argues that the sequential operation of $a$ operators leads to the form which he does not write, but I will write here for clarity:  $$ a^k | n \rangle = \left(\sqrt{n}\sqrt{n-1}...\sqrt{n-k+1}\right) | n - k + 1 \rangle $$   Since  $$ a|0 \rangle = 0 $$  the sequence must terminate, but can only terminate if n is an integer. How can we make that jump? Is there a formal mathematical proof that the sequence $\left(\sqrt{n}\sqrt{n-1}...\sqrt{n-k+1}\right)$ will terminate if and only if n is an integer? Conventions for function notation I'm in year 11 right now and I just had a brief discussion with my maths teacher about function notation in trigonometry.  For a test, I wrote this,   sin(50)^2   I assumed that would be interpreted as sin(50)*sin(50)  But I was told the correct notation for this is is  sin^2 (50)   or optionally  (sin (50))^2   I'm curious if that is the 'proper' mathematical convention, or just how things are taught in high schools?  I'm Australian, in case there are some regional differences.  Thanks for the help! Start ubuntu without a desktop environment but start an X application I want to do a small computer just for internet browsing. I dont want to load a desktop environment to keep RAM, CPU and GPU ussage as low as possible. The computer is going to run on a ARM CPU. I dont care with Distro I use, I thought about good old plain Debian. Why does my pilot light keep going out? My furnace pilot light keeps going out so I changed the thermocouple. Now the furnace will come on and heat up to the degree set on my thermostat, then the pilot light will go out and the furnace will not come back on.    Could the thermostat be bad and cause the pilot light to go out? Is it okay to use my US visa after a name change? Textbook approach to modeling non-proportional hazards in the Cox model In Cox models with time varying coefficients, the effect of covariates on the hazard is allowed to change through time. In cases where a coefficient has a linear relationship with time, I am aware of at least two text books ( and an Appendix to ) that advocate for the following model, first in R code:  coxph(Surv(time, death) ~ disease + disease:time)   And now in mathematical notation:  $$ h(t|X) = h_0(t) \exp(\beta_1X + \beta_2X_T) $$ Where $h(t|X)$ is the instantaneous hazard rate at time $t$ given covariates $X$; $h_0(t)$ is the baseline hazard rate; and $T$ is the censoring or event times. $\beta_1$ represents the log hazard ratio for individuals with $T=0$ (which is sort of nonsensical since you can't have $T=0$ in the data), while $\beta_2$ is harder to interpret... $\beta_2$ shows how the log hazard ratio depends on censoring/event times, but that is circular because event times are also the response variable (this point is made in Terry Therneau’s vignette “”).  According to Therneau's vignette, to correctly specify a time varying coefficient, you need to use the following model, first in R code:  coxph(Surv(time, death) ~ disease + tt(disease), tt=function(x,t,...){x*t})   And now in mathematical notation: $$ h(t|X) = h_0(t) \exp(\beta_1X + \beta_2X_T) $$  The difference is that the time interaction is with $t$ in the model rather than with the event times $T$ in the data. The resulting parameters are easy to interpret: they are the intercept and slope of the linear relationship between the log hazard ratio of $X$ and time. This approach seems like the proper way to model a time varying effect.  Can anyone justify or advocate for the first approach to modeling non-proportional hazards in the Cox model? If it is really incorrect (as I suspect it is), what are the practical consequences of using this approach? Whenever I try to do a fluid simulation, the fluid domain remains visible.  I have tried:ctrl+a-scale, turn on/off visibility for render/viewport  Here's a video demonstrating my problem:   Here's the blend file in case I have messed up some settings:   Thank you for any help! Cut points and connected space pip: AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'SSL_ST_INIT' Does option "-h" for "ls" display size in MB or MiB and is it consistent over Unix-based systems? Erasing elements from a vector I want to clear a element from a vector using the erase method. But the problem here is that the element is not guaranteed to occur only once in the vector. It may be present multiple times and I need to clear all of them. My code is something like this:  void erase(std::vector&lt;int&gt;&amp; myNumbers_in, int number_in) {     std::vector&lt;int&gt;::iterator iter = myNumbers_in.begin();     std::vector&lt;int&gt;::iterator endIter = myNumbers_in.end();     for(; iter != endIter; ++iter)     {         if(*iter == number_in)         {             myNumbers_in.erase(iter);         }     } }  int main(int argc, char* argv[]) {     std::vector&lt;int&gt; myNmbers;     for(int i = 0; i &lt; 2; ++i)     {         myNmbers.push_back(i);         myNmbers.push_back(i);     }      erase(myNmbers, 1);      return 0; }   This code obviously crashes because I am changing the end of the vector while iterating through it. What is the best way to achieve this? I.e. is there any way to do this without iterating through the vector multiple times or creating one more copy of the vector? Get latest Flash player on Ubuntu I know, it's been asked before but I couldn't really get a satisfying answer for some details/backgrounds and I guess it's an important question for many.    Some application seem only to be running with Adobe Flash 15 (or at least I know it does, because I have that version on my Windows Partition).  The official Adobe website says:     NOTE: Adobe Flash Player 11.2 will be the last version to target Linux as a supported platform. Adobe will continue to provide security backports to Flash Player 11.2 for Linux.   Some search on the web like "Ubuntu Adobe Flash 15" or similar does not return any good websites.  I found something that says   (using a "pepper-based version"), and  .   Is it impossible to use this for Firefox too? Would it be a privacy risk?  Are there no alternative projects (I know it's closed source but there are so many so very bright people out there using something similar to wine but just for the plugin....)?  How about the Mac-Version? Shouldn't someone be able to port that one to Linux? This is the profile of the object I'd like to wrap...    Here is the object's profile after being wrapped...    Is it possible to prevent the distortion? The following post here:  did not affect my object. It seemed very promising, maybe I'm missing something?  Note: I have applied the scale to both my object and curve.
