How can I change my username in Minecraft 1.6 or later? , but that method doesn't work anymore since the way the game launches has completely changed. Is it still possible to set your username using a command, script, or anything else?  (Solutions tailored to Mac OS X specifically are appreciated.)
This post pretty much summarizes my question :   I know for a fact that Mac and Linux are both Unix based  And the commands for Linux should work for Mac, but with limited knowledge for programming I couldn't get it to work.  EDIT: Just saw this -  currently working on it

Problem using wildcard with apt When I run this command :  apt install libkf5*   I get the following error :  Unable to locate package libkf5*    I'm sure that the packages whose names start with libkf5 exist (tab-completion says so) . So the problem is not about the absence of those packages.(Note the asterisk at the end of that error message , the wildcard's not working at all) I use apt v.1.9. Thanks in advance. Why are we scared of singularities? I often hear people say that general relativity predicted its own demise because of the singularities it predicts. If I'm not mistaken, this is also a problem in QFT. I wonder why singularities garner so much hate. To me, it seems like negative or complex numbers: we used to hate these things but now they are more generally accepted. Why can't it be that nature just has singularities? We might not get it, we might not like it, but it may be so. delete vs delete[] operators in C++ Which answer is correct?       Tony _______to have children until his little daughter was born.

It would be nice, if it did something like below : How does a lurker gain reputation to receive privilege for commenting? The motivation for this question is in my answer to this post :       (1) If I take $A$, $B$ and $C$ three groups such that $A\times B$ is isomorphic to $A\times C$ then do we have $B$ is isomorphic to $C$ ?   In the post a counter example is given when $A$ is an infinitely generated group. However I cannot get a counter-example when $A$, $B$ and $C$ are assumed to be finite groups. Note that there is no reason a priori if $\phi$ is an isomorphism from $A\times B$ to $A\times C$ that $\phi(A\times\{1_B\})=A\times\{1_C\}$.   In the case of finite groups it is true because of the Krull-Schmidt theorem : .  A slightly more general question is the following :     (2) If $B$ and $C$ are two finitely generated groups, can I always find a finitely generated group $A$ such that $A\times B$ is isomorphic to $A\times C$?   If $A$ is not assumed to verify any property but to be a group we can take :  $$A=B^{\mathbb{N}}\times C^{\mathbb{N}} $$  Furthermore replacing :$ \prod_{\mathbb{N}}$ by $\bigoplus_{\mathbb{N}}$ (or more likely the restricted product for groups but I am not sure of a well known notation, it is the subgroup of the product with all but a finite number components being trivial) will give you the same result for countably infinite groups.   $\underline{\text{Edit}}$ : To be clear about what I am asking. (1) is kown to be true for finite groups whereas (2) is known to be true when we are considering groups without restriction (even just for countably infinite groups). Let us pretend we are working on the smaller class of groups : the finitely generated groups. Is there any counter example to $(1)$? Is there any counter example to $(2)$?   $\underline{\text{Edit 2}}$: Here is a partial answer, from the classification of finitely generated abelian groups $(1)$ is always true if all groups are assumed to be abelian finitely generated groups. Now assume that $A\times B=G=A\times C$. Then you have (derived groups) :  $$D(G)=D(A)\times D(B)=D(A)\times D(C) $$  So the abelianizations verify :  $$A^{ab}\times B^{ab}=A^{ab}\times C^{ab}$$  Because we are now in the realm of finitely generated abelian groups we get :  $$B^{ab}=C^{ab} $$  So $(2)$ cannot be true in general for instance you can take $B:=\mathbb{Z}$ and $C=\mathbb{F}_5$, those two groups have different abelianizations.

However, would a staging SE help solve some of these issues like community overlap. I understand , but how can someone not yet a part of a community know to do so. Some of the point of SO is that you often don't know what to ask exactly, and we help clear that up. So, I wonder, rather than &quot;playing hot potato&quot; would it be useful to have a site that's simply for temporarily holding questions and such.  It would be the alternative to migrating to another site where you dump all responsibility on that site. This area, all communities are responsible for. It would be a good place to ask a question if you don't know where to ask. The blog I linked talks about phrasing to a specific audience. For someone that doesn't know, the audience is better at selecting which questions are directed at them. As SE grows, the amount of communities will mean more overlap. Right now it may be reasonable to expect people to be able to predict the best community, but will it always be that way?  Some restrictions:  It would be accessible by all communities. The question could be edited, but not answered. The question could be exposed to more easily tracked/understood/etc. automated janitorial work.

Another weird thing when i change this:    To this:     The posts list loads correctly... Most efficient way to see if an ArrayList contains an object in Java I have an ArrayList of objects in Java.  The objects have four fields, two of which I'd use to consider the object equal to another.  I'm looking for the most efficient way, given those two fields, to see if the array contains that object.  The wrench is that these classes are generated based on XSD objects, so I can't modify the classes themselves to overwrite the .equals.    Is there any better way than just looping through and manually comparing the two fields for each object and then breaking when found?  That just seems so messy, looking for a better way.  Edit: the ArrayList comes from a SOAP response that is unmarshalled into objects. How do I get started playing Dungeons and Dragons 4th edition by myself?
