I'm on Ubuntu 16.04 and I downloaded and installed Etcher for Linux x64 (64-bit) (AppImage), a standalone application to make bootable usb drives. Supposedly, to uninstall the application I simply havee to remove it. However, on first use a message popped up asking "Should a desktop file for /home/myhome/Downloads/etcher-electron-1.4.4-x86_64.AppImage be installed?" I selected yes, and now I can't get the message to come back. I deleted the AppImage file and extracted a new one from the downloaded zip file, but the message will no longer pop up. This seems to indicates that the application has not completely removed. How do I completely remove it?  For those claiming this is a duplicate, the answer to the provided "duplicate" does not apply here because this is a standalone application. Please read more carefully next time.
I've searched the net for such information and found different command lines, like these ones:  sudo apt-get remove application sudo apt-get remove application*  sudo apt-get remove --purge application sudo apt-get remove --purge application*  sudo apt-get purge application sudo apt-get purge application*   So, what is the correct way? Is it necessary to use that "*"?  After that, I also found these commands:  sudo updatedb sudo locate application sudo rm -rf (file/folder name)
IList vs IEnumerable for Collections on Entities When I have entities in my domain with lists of things, should they be exposed as ILists or IEnumerables? E.g. Order has a bunch of OrderLines. What's the difference between "I love singing" and "I love to sing"? I would like to know what the difference is between "I love doing something" and "I love to do something".  For example:        “I love singing.”      and,        “I love to sing.”      When I was young, I was told that "love doing something" is right, but one day, I found Jessie J wrote "I love to sing" on her Instagram. A singularity, by the definition I know, is a point in space with infinite of a property such as density.  Density is Mass/Volume.  Since the volume of a singularity is 0, then the density will thus become infinite because Mass/0 = undefined  However, is it possible to have a singularity with a mass of 0? 0/0 is indeterminate, but would it be possible for a singularity to exist even if its mass and volume were zero? Why can mathematical equations describe this world? Since I want to understand the world, I learn physics from textbooks. But I feel there is a gap between the textbook and the world. I do not know     why the equations in the textbook can control the whole world? How can I bridge the gap? In research, how can one distinguish whether what we do is meaningful in reality or not?   Any help or suggestions or comments will be appreciated. find and echo file names only with pattern found Browser back leaves page after going fullscreen in stack snippet Opening a Stack Snippet in full screen should use history.pushState() to add an entry to the browser history stack.

We are using Nginx to serve static files on a development platform. As it is a development platform, we'd like to disable caching so that each change is propagated to the server. The configuration of the VHost is quite simple:  server {   server_name  static.server.local;   root /var/www/static;    ## Default location   location / {     access_log        off;     expires           0;     add_header        Cache-Control private;   }  }   When we access an HTML file (http://static.server.local/test.html), we have no issue: the server returns a code 304 Not Modified as long as the file is not changed, and a 200 OK response with the modified file when the file is changed. However, it seems to behave differently with a Javascript or a CSS file. Once the file is changed, we get a 200 OK response as expected, but with the old text. Is there an internal cache mechanism in Nginx that could explain this behaviour? Or some configuration that we should add?    As a side note, here is the header returned by Nginx when the file has been modified (it seems correct):  Accept-Ranges:bytes Cache-Control:max-age=0 private Connection:keep-alive Content-Length:309 Content-Type:text/css Date:Fri, 13 May 2011 14:13:13 GMT Expires:Fri, 13 May 2011 14:13:13 GMT Last-Modified:Fri, 13 May 2011 14:13:05 GMT Server:nginx/0.8.54   Edit After trying different settings with the expires directive and Cache-Controlheader, I made some further investigations. In fact, the server is installed on a VirtualBox guest Ubuntu, and data are read from a shared folder that is on the Mac OSX host. If the file is edited from an IDE (NetBeans) on the host, it seems that changes do not appear whereas if I edit it directly on the guest (using VIM), it is refreshed. The strange thing is it does not behave similarly with HTML files. Quite puzzling.  Edit 2 (ANSWER) Indeed, the origin of the issue was more on the VirtualBox side. Or rather a conflict between VirtualBox and the "sendfile" option of the server. This link  gave me the solution: switch the sendfile flag in the server configuration to off:  sendfile  off;   Hope this could also help other person using VirtualBox for development. :) There are some additional information on the . $[K(\zeta_n):K]=\phi(n)$? Is it true that $[K(\zeta_n):K]=\phi(n)$ where $\zeta_n$ be primitive root of unity and K be field of char zero?  I think it should be equal to the degree of cyclotomic polynomial which has degree $\phi(n)$.

Nautilus not generating thumbnails in 13.10 How do I get an array of repeated characters from a string using LINQ? I have an HSA that allows me to invest the money in the account in the stock market. Any money not invested is available to be used for health expenses. I currently have ~50% of the total balance of the HSA invested, with the other ~50% on hand for expenses.  I've run into a situation where the ~50% on hand for expenses does not cover all of my current expenses. To cover the remaining costs, should I sell off my the HSA investments or should I leave those as is and use money from my savings account?  I'm trying to determine if the tax advantages of the HSA combined with the returns the invested money is seeing is worth me leaving that money alone - and instead, take the money from my savings account to cover the costs. Conclusively stop wake timers from waking Windows 10 desktop Matrix representation of linear transformation I am making the check for update script for my theme  I have 2 text files. First one is called "current.txt" and contains the current version. There is 4.1.1 string in that text file.  Second one is called "latest.txt" and contains the latest version. There is 4.2 string in this text file.  So here is the code  echo "Checking update"; x=$(cat ./current.txt) y=$(cat ./latest.txt) if [ "$x" -eq "$y" ] then        echo There is version $y update else        echo Version $x is the latest version fi   What it mean is if current.txt is NOT the same with latest.txt then it will say "there is version 4.2 update". If not, it will say "version 4.1.1 is the latest version"  But when I try to run it. I get this error  Checking update ./test.sh: line 4: [: 4.1.1: integer expression expected Version 4.1.1 is the latest version   So what am I doing wrong with this? I keep reading articles about CCD vs CMOS image sensors. What is the difference between these two types? What exactly do these sensors do in terms of photography?  Is a CCD-based camera going to be able to compete in the future? If I buy one, can I count on using it for some years or would it be better to upgrade to a camera with a CMOS based sensor?
