I launch script.sh and inside it i want to know what is his name   Is there a standard procedure to know the scripts name ? the idea is to be able to extract the name from teh full path + name contained in $0  Thanks
How can I determine the name of the Bash script file inside the script itself?  Like if my script is in file runme.sh, then how would I make it to display "You are running runme.sh" message without hardcoding that?
Can PHP PDO Statements accept the table or column name as parameter? How can I get out of the debt-trap as quickly as possible? I have a credit card with 30% interest and a real estate loan with 11% interest. The amount of debt on my card is lower than the real estate loan.   I want to redeem the installments of the real estate loan, but I can't do it because the credit card debt takes all my money.    What can I do in this situation? How can I get out of the debt-trap as quickly as possible?   I have a 4-room house and 2 cars, and 2 children who have to go to school, that's why there are a lot of fix expenses. Isn't the uncertainty principle just non-fundamental limitations in our current technology that could be removed in a more advanced civilization? From what I understand, the  states that there is a fundamental natural limit to how accurately we can measure velocity and momentum at the same time. It's not a limit on equipment but just a natural phenomenon.  However, isn't this just an observational limit? There is a definite velocity and momentum, we just don't know it. As in, we can only know so much about the universe, but the universe still has definite characteristics.  Considering this, how do a wide range of quantum mechanical phenomena work? For example, quantum tunneling - its based on the fact that the position of the object is indefinite. But the position is definite, we just don't know it definitely. Or the famous light slot experiment? The creation of more light slots due to uncertainty of the photon's positions?  What I am basically asking is why is a limit on the observer, affecting the phenomenon he is observing? Isn't that equivalent to saying  because we haven't seen Star X, it doesn't exist? It's limiting the definition of the universe to the limits of our observation! Why does friction play the role of centripetal force during the turning of a car? I have a very simple question that can be stated without proof. Are all eigenvectors, of any matrix, always orthogonal? I am trying to understand Principal components and it is cruucial for me to see the basis of eigenvectors. How could I write a command in LaTeX, so after compiling it will be shown as a text in PDF and not executed?  For Example, I would write \it This is how you write in italic and the compiled pdf would contain the exact same text between the quotation marks without \it being executed. Reporting Mann-Whitney U-Test without homogenity of variance The Mann-Whitney test requires homogeneity of variance if a median difference is suppossed to be statistically significant.  In case homogenity of variance is not met, but the test is significant:  Which aspects of the test can I report? A Particular Two-Variable System in a Group Suppose $a$ and $b$ are elements of a group $G$. If $a^{-1}b^{2}a=b^{3}$ and $b^{-1}a^{2}b=a^{3}$, prove $a=e=b$.   I've been trying to prove but still inconclusive. Please prove to me.  Thanks very much for proof. Variable with colon dash ${VAR:-} What pressure should I run my Road Bike tyres at? There's a question for mountain bike tyres but I can't seem to find anything on here for road bikes. At the moment I'm running at around 90psi. Is that too much? too little?  Also, am I more likely to get punctures running at higher pressure?  I seem to be getting a lot lately. Quantum Field Theory from a mathematical point of view I'm a student of mathematics with not much background in physics. I'm interested in learning Quantum field theory from a mathematical point of view.  Are there any good books or other reference material which can help in learning about quantum field theory? What areas of mathematics should I be familiar with before reading about Quantum field theory? Symbol for “such that” (not in set) I understand that division by zero isn't allowed, but we merely just multiplied $f(x) = 1$ by $\frac{x-1}{x-1}$ to get $f(x) = \frac{x-1}{x-1}$ and $a\cdot 1 = 1\cdot a = a$ so they're the same function but with different domain how is this possible?  Or in other words why don't we simplify $f(x) = \frac{x-1}{x-1}$ to $f(x) = 1$ before plotting the points. Is it just defined this way or is there a particular reason ?  Note: my book says the domain of $f(x) = 1$ is $\mathbb{R}$ and the domain of  $f(x) = \frac{x-1}{x-1}$ is $\mathbb{R}$ except $1$. A little background:  I do not know what the specifics are, but I've noticed that a quick edit after a post will often times not result in an edit being posted. It's as if there was no edit. Edit: According to Bart this amount of time is five minutes.  The problem:  A user made a really bad post (said that ~ in C# wrt integers was used for deconstruction). I down-voted said post. Post quickly disappeared (I guess poster realized they screwed up and took back the post). Later, I come back and see my down vote but the answer is now correct (that ~ is the bitwise complement operator). I try to get rid of my down vote because it is no longer appropriate. However, it has been about half an hour and there is no edit posted (presumably the poster made an edit within the non-posting edit window) so I can't take my vote back.  Suggested solution:  If post gets edited (even within the non-post edit window) mark all the votes as changeable. I would guess that this would either involve an update on a table of votes or adding a column for last edit time which is not bypassed by the grace period. I realize that this may be an entirely non-trivial change, but unless the non-posting of edits is somehow changed to make sure the edit was trivial it seems this is necessary. This is a problem from Introduction to Representation Theory by Etingof et al. I have no idea how to approach it. My friend wrote a program that uses Gaussian elimination to find a basis, which starts with x, y, [x, y], [y, [x, y]], ... but freezes once it gets to elements with 9 or more occurrences of x, y.  I expect that there is some way to characterize the nonzero elements of this Lie algebra (i.e., elements that are "immune" to being shown to be zero through repeated application of the Jacobi identity) which could be turned into a way to enumerate them. I don't see what it is, though.  It's also totally unclear to me how to show that some set we know spans the Lie algebra (proven using some criterion as described in the previous paragraph) is actually linearly independent, unless we find a faithful representation... but I have no idea how to find a faithful representation for an infinite-dimensional Lie algebra.  Hints would be greatly appreciated.  Edit: After looking at the partial output, we can form the "straightforward" conjecture that:   If $n \geq 4$ is even, then there is one basis element of grade $n$, namely $\mathrm{ad}([x, y])^{(n-4)/2}[y, [y, [y, x]]]$. If $n \geq 5$ is odd, then there are two basis elements of grade $n$, namely $[x, z]$ and $[y, z]$ where $z$ is the single basis element of grade $n-1$.   I also have a different conjecture, which is mutually exclusive with the above: that if we flatten out all nonzero elements into the form ${\rm ad}(e_1) {\rm ad}(e_2) \ldots {\rm ad}(e_{n-1}) e_n$ using the Jacobi identity, then in the sequences $e_1, \ldots, e_{n-1}, e_n$ and $e_1, \ldots, e_n, e_{n-1}$, any span containing two x's must contain at least two y's and any span containing five y's must contain at least two x's, otherwise we can use the Jacobi identity to rearrange the element somehow to show that it vanishes. If this is true, then the long-range behaviour must be:   For $n \geq 8$ there is exactly one basis element of grade $n$, namely $[... [y, [x, [y, [y, [x, y]]]]] ...]$ (the pattern $y x y$ repeats).   I still don't see an approach to proving that none of the elements in this sequence actually vanishes, though.  Edit 2: Here is the hint given by Etingof in an email:     No, there are no published solutions, since these problems are used as   a homework for classes. This is indeed a nontrivial problem.      This is the positive part of the affine Kac-Moody algebra of type   A_2^2, which is the twisted loop algebra for sl(2). So what you need   to do is to relate this Lie algebra to loops into sl(2). I see from   your post that you are on the right track. Is the "Final Release" a "Development Release"? Update  appear to have been updated recently (as of writing this the last update appears to have taken place on 3rd of June) to include the following statement:  The -d switch is necessary to upgrade from Ubuntu 18.04 LTS as upgrades have not yet been enabled and will only be enabled after the first point release of 20.04 LTS.  Also note that .  TLDR (as of 15 Aug 2020):   is the canonical tracking document for the first Focal Fossa point-release (20.04.1). It’s a live document. The Ubuntu release team will be updating it as we work on releasing 20.04.1. […] Upgrades from 18.04 to 20.04.1 are still disabled as we are working through a few upgrade blockers   Edit The answers (so far) do not answer the question. The question is pretty simple. Ubuntu.com points to a &quot;FinalRelease&quot;, which turns out to be a &quot;Development Release&quot;, see evidence below. I'm not asking how and when to upgrade. I'm pointing out what seems to me to be an apparent inconcistency (in semantics, linguistics, logic) in the way Ubuntu names or labels its releases. From an answer to the question I'd except someone to pick up and acknowledge this inconsistency. An answer could start with a &quot;Yes, ...&quot; or a &quot;No, ...&quot;, for starters. (Moreover, a good answer could distinguish between the release being in dev stage and/or the upgrade process (e.g. from LTS to LTS) being in dev stage, if appropriate.) This question, as I see it, is not a duplicate. Futher, I think it is a question which deserves a non-patronizing answer. Thanks.   indicates that today (23rd April 2020) the new Ubuntu 20.04 LTS is to be released.  See &quot;condensed screenshot&quot; here:  Indeed, it seems that that's what happened, see  and :  However, when following the instructions to upgrade (from 18.04 LTS to 20.04 LTS) found  and elsewhere (edit: actually , too!), even prior to the July point release, I'm a bit confused to see that the instruction is to use update-manager -d which also points to the &quot;Development Release&quot; (see screenshot below) rather than the &quot;FinalRelease&quot; (see screenshot and link above). Is the &quot;Final Release&quot; (which I'm after) the/a &quot;Development Release&quot;? Why isn't it called something like &quot;Production Release&quot; or &quot;Final Release&quot;? When will it no longer be referred to as &quot;Development Release&quot;? In July? I'm confused :( Windows executables are started with archive manager I have Wine installed and several Windows applications installed there run fine, if I start them using the right mouse menu "Open with Wine program loader". But if I try starting an .exe file by just double clicking instead, the archive manager tries to open the executable.  How do I fix that?  And something like a bonus question as a former Windows user: Can this be done easily for a single file I currently see in the file manager (similar to the "Open with..." context menu in Windows) and for many file types together (like in Windows, using the menu "Folder settings" in the Explorer)? Is there a way to fix a small chip in a wall's paint? I'm not sure exactly with what I've bumped my wall and caused this this:    Is there anything that can be done to fix this without repainting the entire room?  I've been reading around a bit, and not sure exactly what to call this, hence the weird question title.  The paint is a beige-ish colour, not exactly white. The hole is about 2 x 1.5 cm in size.   I've read a bit about spackling paste, though I understand that's for small cracks and holes.  Here are some picture with a better resolution:  and   Unfortunately, I don't have much experience with this sort of thing. Help please.  Also, this is in the UK, so you can tell what stores I might have access to for materials. Amy: What day is it today?    Tom: It's Monday. Hmm... I like Monday.   Amy: What do you have today?   Tom: We have math, science and art.What about you?   Amy: We have English and P.E. What do you have tomorrow?    Tom: We have art and P.E.tomorrow.    Amy: Oh, great.      I can understand that "What about you" means "What do you have today?"  But I wonder whether "What about you" is an elliptical sentence. If it is, what is the full sentence? If it isn't, how to parse this structure? Duplicate user in reputation league So I understand that this has happened in the past: , but all of the &quot;duplicate&quot; posts are marked as  so here is a new bug report: On the , I am listed twice:  While that's fun and all, it isn't exactly right.
