On my iphone 5 I could make apps "disappear" by double clicking on the home button and then temporarily remove the ones in regular use by holding finger on them until the shook then cancelling by pressing the cross.This preserved battery power. On the iphone 5s this system doesn't work. Anyone have an answer?
In iOS 6 and below I could double tap the home button, tap and hold an app, and  click the red - to close an application(s).  In iOS 7 this does not work. How can I restart an app that's exploding without resetting the entire OS?
From the TV Show Krypton, Dru-Zod is the son of Seg-El and Lyta-Zod. In S02E05 'A better yesterday', Lyta-Zod's throat gets slit by Jax-Ur leading to Lyta's death. How is Dru-Zod still alive? Shouldn't he be wiped from existence? How do I check if a list is empty? For example, if passed the following:  a = []   How do I check to see if a is empty? How should different sized RAM be added to iMac? I have a mid-2011 iMac which came with 4GB RAM (2x2GB). I just bought 8 GB (2x4GB) and added it to get a total of 12GB. The current configuration is as follows:    Given that the RAM is a different size, do I have the optimal locations for the different RAM chips? At the moment what I did was to simply add the 2 new sticks of RAM in the two empty slots. It would be nice to update the profile page from within the app.  Perhaps not many people update their profiles more frequently, but when required to do so, I would prefer to do it from the app instead of the mobile browser. Units in gravitational $N$ body simulations I read a book a while ago ( read many years, maybe a decade ago, it was at least 20 years old then) about a watery planet ruled over by a monstrous overlord sea monster thing.   The hero rallies some of the floating villages to fight the monster and they make iron weaponry out of iron from blood as far as I can remember.   Beyond this I can't remember much about the book, but I'm sure at least one other person out there must have read it.  Edit for more potential details: I think the village folk were reluctant to trust the hero, he was maybe a stranger to them and a lot of them didn't want to upset the status quo.    The iron weapons were maybe to pierce the hide? A harpoon seems familiar, something to trap him with the aid of nets. $\{a_n\}$ be a sequence such that $ a_{n+1}^2-2a_na_{n+1}-a_n=0$, then $\sum_1^{\infty}\frac{a_n}{3^n}$ lies in... Let $\{a_n\}$ be a sequence of positive real numbers such that   $a_1 =1,\ \  a_{n+1}^2-2a_na_{n+1}-a_n=0, \ \ \forall n\geq 1$.   Then the sum of the series $\sum_1^{\infty}\frac{a_n}{3^n}$ lies in...  (A) $(1,2]$, (B) $(2,3]$, (C) $(3,4]$, (D)$(4,5]$.   Solution attempt:   Firstly, we figure out what $\frac{a_{n+1}}{a_n}$ is going to look like. We get, from the recursive formula, $\frac{a_{n+1}}{a_n}=1+\sqrt{1+\frac{1}{a_n^2}}$ (remembering the fact that $a_n&gt;0$, the other root is rejected).   We know that, if $\lim_{n \to \infty}\frac{a_{n+1}}{a_n}&gt;1$, then $\lim a_n \to \infty$.   Further, $(a_{n+1}-a_n)= \sqrt{a_n(a_n+1)}&gt;0$. (Again, the other root is rejected due to the same reason).   Hence, $(a_n)$ increases monotonically.   Therefore, the largest value of $\frac{a_{n+1}}{a_n}$ is approximately $1+\sqrt{1+\frac{1}{1}} \approx 2.15$  Now, the sum can be approximated as $\displaystyle\frac{\frac{1}{3}}{1-\frac{2.15}{3}} \approx 1.3$ (In actuality, $\mathbb{sum}&lt; 1.3$).  So, option $(A)$ is the correct answer.   Is the procedure correct?   I have been noticing a handful of this type of questions (based on approximations) lately, and the goal is to find out where the sum / the limit of the sequence might lie.   Is there any "definitive" approach that exploits the recursive formula and gives us the value, or does the approach varies from problem to problem? What should be done with questions that have been resolved as a comment instead of an answer? I'm trying to go through and provide answers to every unanswered question (search &quot;closed:0 answers:0&quot;), somewhat following the spirit that was blogged about at  .  However, I'm finding this much more difficult than it needs to be, as many of the questions have already been answered without the use of an &quot;answer&quot; - but instead, in the form of a comment by either the OP or another poster. I wouldn't mind reading through and skipping these, as long as there was some appropriate action I could take to at least assist with preventing these questions from being seen again from the same query - either by myself or another SO member.  Is there such an appropriate action?  Should we vote to close?  If so, using what reason? Even if I vote to close, what are the chances that 4 other users will also view the question and also vote to close?  (i.e., will my individual vote even do any good?  Is there any report to show recent close votes, so that others may also review and contribute supporting close votes?) Should we post some sort of an answer - even just something to the effect of &quot;this was already answered by the OP's own comment to his answer (above)&quot;? Would something like this be appropriate to flag for moderator attention, and let the moderators deal with it?  (Or would this be considered too trivial?) Should we rename the question title to something standard that can be used in a search exclusion?  (Maybe &quot;SOLVED:&quot;?)  Basically, how can I help to denote questions as &quot;This question is no longer in active search of an answer - though better answers may still be appreciated.&quot;? I've already reviewed , which was closed as a duplicate of  - but this requires effort on part of a user who may very likely no longer be active. Otherwise, is there something I should be doing to improve my search to filter out these types of questions? I've run across this many times, so I don't consider it to be a rare issue.  However, the last question like this I just ran across, prompting this question, was .  In this case, the question was self-answered by the OP in the form of a comment, this question is the OP's only question, the OP has no other visible activity on SO, and the OP hasn't been seen on SO since he registered and posted the question 5 months ago. Another one I just ran across is .  However, here the &quot;answer&quot; comment was posted by a reputable and recently active SO member.  Should I leave a comment directed at him, asking him to re-post his comment as an answer, or should I post my own answer echoing his comment?  (Or something else?) Yet another is .  Interestingly, the OP actually self-edited the question to include the &quot;SOLVED:&quot; prefix on to the question, instead of posting his resolving comment as an answer (and ideally accepting it) as he was asked to do by another comment.  This brings up another good idea - is there a &quot;standard&quot; we should use to rename the titles on these &quot;resolved but unanswered&quot; posts that could be used as a search exclusion?  (Also added to the above list.) I recently read the .  This book had the idea of the time you live as something that can be used to pay for things. When you run out of "money" you die.  I was wondering is this the original source for this idea? Or does anyone know of an earlier book with the same idea? Explain what is a transistor in plain English!

Thank you SF short story ID, written 40s—60s, primitive aliens who are much smarter than us I'm looking for a story that was probably written somewhere from the 1940s to the 1960s. I think I read it in an anthology, possibly in the 1970s.  A group of human explorers landed on a planet with primitive aliens, living in hunter-gatherer villages. They hoped to make a profit from trading our goods for—well, I'm not clear on what they wanted from the aliens.  The native people learned the human language before the explorers could learn theirs. Then the natives suddenly started producing technological innovations far beyond what they originally used. I remember that wooden sailing ships suddenly replaced their canoes. All the natives had to do was hear a story once from the explorers before copying the technology in the story.  Finally, the explorers realized that the natives were much, much smarter than us and that Earth faced a serious problem.  I'm fairly certain that it wasn't a Heinlein story, but I remember that it had some qualities similar to his work. Proof that if $s_n \leq t_n$ for $n \geq N$, then $\liminf_{n \rightarrow \infty} s_n \leq \liminf_{n \rightarrow \infty} t_n$ This is half of Theorem 3.19 from Baby Rudin. Rudin claims the proof is trivial. What I've come up with so far doesn't seem trivial, however, and is probably also wrong (my problem with it is pointed out below). This makes me wonder whether I'm overlooking some useful fact and/or using an unprofitable approach.  Theorem. If $s_n \leq t_n$ for $n \geq N$, where $N$ is fixed, then  $$ \liminf_{n \rightarrow \infty} s_n \leq \liminf_{n \rightarrow \infty} t_n. $$  Proof. Suppose that $s_n \leq t_n$ if $n \geq N$, but that  $$ \liminf_{n \rightarrow \infty} s_n &gt; \liminf_{n \rightarrow \infty} t_n. $$  Let $E_s$ denote the set of all subsequential limits of $\{s_n\}$, and let $E_t$ denote the set of all subsequential limits of $\{t_n\}$. Then  $$ \inf E_s &gt; \inf E_t. $$  This implies that there exists some $x \in E_t$ such that $\inf E_s &gt; x &gt; \inf E_t$, since otherwise $\inf E_t$ would not be the greatest lower bound of $E_t$. Hence some subsequence of $\{t_n\}$, say $\{t_{n_i}\}$, converges to $x &lt; \inf E_s$.  Lemma. (from Rudin) If $x &lt; \liminf_{n \rightarrow \infty} s_n$, then there exists an integer $N$ such that if $n \geq N$, then $s_n &gt; x$.   By the lemma, there exists an integer $N_0$ such that if $n \geq N_0$, then $s_n &gt; x$.   Now, let $\epsilon = \inf_{n \geq N_0} \{s_n - x\}$. This is where I think my proof breaks down. Can't $\epsilon$ be zero? Then, since $\{t_{n_i}\}$ converges to $x$, there exists an integer $N_1$ such that if $n_i \geq N_1$, then $|t_{n_i} - x| &lt; \epsilon$. But this means that, if $n_i \geq \max\{N, N_0, N_1\}$, we have both  $$ s_{n_i} &gt; t_{n_i}, $$  as well as $s_{n_i} \geq t_{n_i}$, a contradiction. Linear congruence fill in the missing step? Currently working on this problem and I'm having trouble seeing how it goes from one line to the next.    $45x \equiv 63\mod 11$ goes to $x \equiv 8\mod 11$     Any help would be awesome thanks.  Please try to explain how it works to help me see thanks. What is the best word describing the nature of expiring in a short amount of time, connoting "losing public attention"?

Given a convergent sequence $x_{n}$ and bounded sequence $y_{n}$  I need to prove that $\limsup (x_{n}+y_{n})=\lim x_{n}+\limsup y_{n}$, when $n$ tends to $\infty$.  I chose $z_{n}=x_{n}+y_{n}$, we know that $z_{n}$ is bounded as being sum of two bounded sequences, so from the Bolzano-Weierstrass Theorem, we know that there is a  subsequence of $z_{n}$, let's call it $z_{n_{k}}$, that converges to $\limsup (x_{n}+y_{n})$. $y_{n_{k}}$ is bounded as well, so there is a convergent subsequence $y_{n_{k_{j}}}$. All this gives me that  $\limsup (x_{n}+y_{n})\leq \lim x_{n}+\limsup y_{n}$,  What can I do for getting the other inequality?   Thank you and Good evening.
