I've seen a few posts on the topic of "How to Increase Your Reputation" (e.g.  ), which say that editing is an important reputation-affecting factor, for example:     For users who don't have a lot of experience in programming and rarely answer questions, try editing posts.   However, I can't find any detail on that. I see that we get 2 reputation points when a suggested edit is "accepted" (approved), but I have some question apart of that:   Does the +2 rep apply to any edit that I do to someone else's question, answer, or comment? Does editing (or deleting) my own questions/answers/comments affect my reputation? In terms of reputation, why is it important to "Edit, But Don’t Edit Too Much"?  As far as I know the only action of mine that can readily reduce my reputation is down-voting someone else's question/answer/comment...?

Can't unhide grayed out objects After some searching on stack / google I decided to ask this here, this is the second time I'm facing this issue this time with blender 2.8, previously with 2.7 and without a clue to how I got here.  Some of my objects appear hidden(10/12), and I can't seem to find a way to unhide them.  Solutions to the most common rookie mistakes seems to be   In local-view solved by pressing numpad / hidden by pressing H or Shift + H, unhiding with Alt + H   I'm not in local view, I can toggle visibility for 2/12 objects with Shift + H &amp; Alt + H, but the rest stays gray in the collection.  Last time I solved this by exporting the whole model as STL and importing it back again, I then had to re-group all the pieces but there must be a more simple solution.  Here's the .blend if someone wants to have a go at it: Highlight a word with jQuery I'm trouble with exercise 1.8 of Carroll's Space-Time and Geometry:     If $\partial_\nu T^{\mu \nu} = Q^\mu$, what physically does the spatial vector $Q^i$ represent? Use the dust energy momentum tensor to make your case.    First of all, since the momentum energy tensor of dust $T^{\mu \nu}=\rho U^\mu U^\nu$ is symmetric, one has the energy-momentum conservation law $$ \partial_\nu T^{\mu \nu} = \partial_\nu T^{\nu \mu}  =0.$$ A vector $Q$ is constant in any frame related by a Lorentz transformation, while this isn't the case for the components $Q^\mu$. But here $Q=0$ and hence $Q^\mu=0$ also for every component $\mu =0,\cdots,4$?   Even if a straightforwardly apply the equation: $$ Q^i = \partial_\nu T^{i \nu} = (\partial_\nu \rho) U^i U^\nu + \rho(\partial_\nu U^i)  U^\nu + \rho U^i(\partial_\nu  U^\nu ),$$ doesn't seems to yield something...   Is my first reasoning right ? Otherwise: can someone give me a hint ?  Thanks Pandas Merging 101 Shear transform a "box" Using the graphicx package, I can make any arbitrary box rotated using the \rotatebox{...}{...} command. Is there a comparable command in any package that lets me shear a box, i.e., producing a kind of general slanting? Replace HTML page with contents retrieved via AJAX I have an HTML page with a typical structure:  &lt;html&gt;   &lt;head&gt;    &lt;script src="..." &gt;&lt;/script&gt;    &lt;style&gt;...&lt;/style&gt;   &lt;/head&gt;   &lt;body&gt;    content   &lt;/body&gt;   &lt;script&gt;     var success_callback = function(data) {       // REPLACE PAGE CONTENT &amp; STRUCTURE WITH "data"     }     ajax(url, params, success_callback);   &lt;/script&gt; &lt;/html&gt;   Do you think it is possible ?  I've already tried to give the html tag an id and doing $(id).replace(data); with no success.  Don't ask me why, but that is what I need (I'm working with a special "mashup builder" site... it is a long story).  EDIT : I forgot to say that scripts in the received content have to be executed, even external scripts included using &lt;script src="..."&gt;. Having just  from any of the queues, it was reviewing close votes; however, this audit was flawed in that I didn't even cast a close vote.  Often I press the Close button to preview greater detail and sentiment of the closure, spawning the Why should this question be closed dialog box:    Especially for duplicates, where functionality is solely dependent on spawning this dialog.  From Closing > Duplicate, I can search or view selected duplicates:    Although, I realize general closure reasons are summarized on the page:    This question had 6-upvotes, but seemed very localized referencing subjective query is "taking too long" and even had a sqlfiddle link.  Maybe overly broad regarding performance tuning, the OP was posting like a forum with two answer posts to his own question  and  with one of those answers asking follow-up questions.    Wanting to gauge community response, current closure totals struck my curiosity.  So, I pressed the Close button and boom - oh, the humanity!  I failed, and didn't even cast a close vote.    Votes are not cast until a reason for closure is selected and Vote to Close is pressed.  Taking any review very seriously on this site, it only seems fair that my review quality is tested through actionable steps instead of clicking for more detailed information, leveraging the functional design of the close vote user interface.  Sure, it's complex to seed fake vote totals, and then there's controversy of mindless voting in the majority or people who simply cherry pick 4-vote questions.  Still though, it seems unfair I should hesitate to review further information of vote totals and duplicates before skipping due to the implementation of this audit. Determining the dimension of span$\{AB-BA : A,B \in M_{n \times n}(\mathbb R) \}$ Let $S$ be the subspace , of  $M_{n \times n}(\mathbb R)$ (the vector space of all $n \times n$ real matrices ) , generated by matrices of the form $AB-BA$ , where $A,B \in M_{n \times n}(\mathbb R)$ , then how do we prove that $\dim S=n^2-1$ ? The only thing that I can determine is that the trace of all matrices of $S$ is $0$ . Please help Say I want to automate making extruded-text or a 3d logo from an image.    An answer that uses extruding a monochrome image of the ubuntu logo to an arbitrary number of units with a python script taking only the number of units and the monochrome image as a starting point will receive extra this was awesome re-posts from me.  This could be useful for lots of things. Limit $\lim_{n\to \infty} \frac{1}{2n} \log{2n\choose n}$ Recording iPad screen using QuickTime I need to record a demo on my iPad's screen where I narrate what's going on but I also want the sounds from the iPad to be in the video. It seems that choosing the Mac Built-in Mic option causes only my voice to be in the video while choosing the iPad Mic option cause only the sounds from the iPad to be in the video. What can I do to put both in the video? I have just bought a new computer and I have everything migrated over except for my Steam games.  I looked in Program Files/Steam/ and I found a folder full of the games I have downloaded, but I do not know if it is safe to just copy these folders from one computer to another (seeing as a lot of other applications will not work if you do this), or is there another recommended way?  I don't really feel like re-downloading all my games. I don't have the time nor bandwidth to download 20GB over a 1.5mbps connection.  Is it possible to contact Valve and get a disk with the games on it? Why do Unix man pages use double backticks in place of double quotes? I've noticed that man pages and other documents formatted by Unix utilities often use double backticks `` followed by double single quotes '' to wrap quoted phrases instead of the double quote character ". Single quotes are similarly replaced. Why is this?  Here are a couple examples, from the man page for grep:   To find all occurrences of the pattern `.Pp' at the beginning of a line:         $ grep '^\.Pp' myfile   The apostrophes ensure the entire expression is evaluated by grep instead  of by the user's shell.  The caret `^' matches the null string at the  beginning of a line, and the `\' escapes the `.', which would otherwise match  any character.   The grep utility is compliant with the IEEE Std 1003.1-2008 (``POSIX.1'')  specification. Allow moderators to refresh a user's network profile Currently, moderators have the ability to reset a user's username and/or profile text, and propagate that to the rest of the network, resetting it everywhere. However, often, the user's stackexchange.com network profile will also need to be reset, and this is currently only possible to do by either the user in question or staff.  Instead of bothering staff every time, moderators should have something available similar to chat, where moderators can change a user's parent site and have access to a "refresh profile" button, which will fetch updated information such as username and avatar from the parent site.  Currently, the only thing that moderators can do on stackexchange.com is to see hidden accounts. It would make sense for moderators to be able to refresh profiles there, like chat, and avoid pinging CMs every time this comes up. The following is an excerpt from Folland's Introduction to Partial Differential Equations:  Let the open set $\Omega\subset{\mathbb R}^n$, and $k$ be a positive integer. $C^k(\Omega)$ will denote the space of functions possessing continuous derivatives up to order $k$ on $\Omega$, and $C^k(\overline{\Omega})$ will denote the space of all $u\in C^k(\Omega)$ such that $\partial^{\alpha}u$ extends continuously to the closure $\overline{\Omega}$ for $0\leq|\alpha|\leq k$.  As I understand, an extension means that there exists $\widetilde{\partial^{\alpha}u}$ which is defined on $\overline{\Omega}$ and $\widetilde{\partial^{\alpha}u}|_{\Omega}=\partial^{\alpha}u$. And "extends continuously" means $\widetilde{\partial^{\alpha}u}$ is continuous with respect to the relative topology on $\overline{\Omega}$.  Here are my questions:        How do people usually do such extension?   When does such extension exist and when does not?   Let $\Omega$ be an open subset of ${\mathbb R}$. Is there any   non-trivial counterexample such that   this kind of extension does not exist? I don't see the gear button next to the Sign in button at the login screen. I have Nvidia drivers installed (for Nvidia 730 GT card). Ubuntu boots into Xorg as seen from the terminal with echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE which outputs x11.  How do I switch to Wayland? What is the difference between $* and $@? Let $R$ be a commutative ring with $1$. Suppose that all ideals $I \neq R$ are prime. Prove that $R$ is a field.   Help me some hints.  Thanks a lot. Opacity problem over white object in Illustrator I have a problem. I'm working with an object at 50% opacity. When it's over the artboard itself the color looks great, but when I put a white object behind it I get this weird color that doesn't look accurate.  This happens with every object and only in CMYK. I'm pretty sure this never happened to me before so maybe I changed something in the settings or I don't know.  Does anyone have any idea? Is there a way to include an entire text file as a string in a C program at compile-time?  something like:   file.txt:  This is a little text file  main.c:  #include &lt;stdio.h&gt; int main(void) {    #blackmagicinclude("file.txt", content)    /*    equiv: char[] content = "This is\na little\ntext file";    */    printf("%s", content); }    obtaining a little program that prints on stdout "This is a little text file"  At the moment I used an hackish python script, but it's butt-ugly and limited to only one variable name, can you tell me another way to do it?
