When deleting from the review queue, it's perfectly possible to do so without leaving a form comment:       Add a comment for the author?      Leaving a comment is optional, but can help the author learn how to improve their post or avoid making the same mistake in the future.   I'd like the same option to be available (maybe as a checkbox) when voting to close as a duplicate or using a custom reason to save me the trouble of manually deleting it later.    These comments are already deletable at will, so if I'd rather they not be posted at all in some cases, I should have that option. In both cases (duplicates, custom reasons), IMO they're unnecessary:   the close review already shows duplicates in tabs for custom reasons, they should be shown at the top in review instead of hidden in an editable comment (since the custom reason itself can't be edited). (And the reason is already shown in the close vote dialog anyway, so it's not as if they vanish if the comment is deleted, or, as I am asking, not posted at all.)     TL;DR:  I'd like an option to be made available which would allow me to vote to close without leaving a comment. I'm not asking for this to be made the default, nor am I asking that the comments not be posted at all in all cases for everyone.
As far as I see the "Blatantly off-topic" flag      Blatantly off-topic (this question has nothing to do with %site topic%)    is only available for low-rep users without the close vote privilege.  What is the reason to remove this option for high-rep users? I think it could be very usefull in some cases where now we must select      Other (add a comment explaining what is wrong)    option and waste time to type obvious message for a reason.
What are irreducibles in the ring $R$ of entire functions? What do you call someone who pretends to be your friend but is actually your enemy?  A friend suggested spy for me, but that does not nearly describe the word I need for an English project. The character is very good at manipulating how people see him. He's a good liar. And pretends to be your friend but actually is your enemy. What is the difference between \emph{...} and {\em ...}?  When to use each of them? How do I add SSL to a .net application that uses httplistener - it will *not* be running on IIS Most recent edits in bold I am using the .net HttpListener class, but I won't be running this application on IIS and am not using ASP.net.  This  describes what code to actually use to implement SSL with asp.net and  describes how to set up the certificates (although I'm not sure if it works only for IIS or not).    The class documentation describes various types of authentication (basic, digest, Windows, etc.) --- none of them refer to SSL.  It does say that if .  Is this going to be a one line property setting and HttpListener figures out the rest?    In short, I need to know how to set up the certificates and how to modify the code to implement SSL.  Although it doesn't occur when I'm trying to access HTTPS, I did notice an error in my System Event log - the source is "Schannel" and the content of the message is:     A fatal error occurred when attempting   to access the SSL server credential   private key. The error code returned   from the cryptographic module is   0x80090016.   Edit: Steps taken so far   Created a working HTTPListener in C# that works for HTTP connections (e.g. "" Created a certificate using makecert.exe Added the certificate to be trusted using certmgr.exe Used Httpcfg.exe to listen for SSL connections on a test port (e.g. 8090) Added port 8080 to the HTTPListener via listener.Prefixes.Add("); tested an HTTP client connection, e.g. (") in a browser and receive correct return tested an HTTPS client connection, e.g. (") in a browser and receive "Data Transfer Interrupted" (in Firefox) debugging in visual studio shows that the listener callback that receives the requests never gets hit when the HTTPS connection starts - I don't see any place that I could set a breakpoint to catch anything else earlier. netstat shows that listening ports are open for both HTTPS and HTTP.  the HTTPS port does go to TIME_WAIT after a connection is attempted.  and  don't catch any of the traffic, I guess it doesn't get far enough in the process to show up in those HTTP analysis tools   Questions   What could the problem be?  Is there a piece of .Net code I am missing (meaning I have to do more in C# other than simply add a prefix to the listener that points to HTTPS, which is what i have done) Have a missed a configuration step somewhere?  What else might I do to analyze the problem? Is the error message in the System Event log a sign of the problem?  If so how would it be fixed? Proving a function is bounded Hi i was wondering if  anyone could help me with my revision This is a question of a past paper i'm stuck on.  Let $$f:[a,b]\to \Re$$ be Riemann intergrable. Part (a) is to prove that f is bounded and part (b) is to Give an example of a bounded function f that is not Riemann integrable  my attempt for part (a) is since f is Riemann intergrable then it is continuous on [a,b] which means that it must also be bounded? or is this incorrect i find this topic rather difficult  For part (b) i dont really have a clue i cant recall any function like the one they ask for Not that it's a very good idea to change it, but for fun. According to  post, there are still some problems even after changing entries in /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow, and /etc/sudoers. Any suggestions? Proficiency with specific weapons vs 'simple and martial'? In the PHB on pg. 146 it states that there are two weapon categories in which the players can be proficient: simple and martial.  As per  answer to another question, being proficient in either category makes the players character proficient in using all weapons of the respective category.   However in the race descriptions the players are given proficiency for specific weapons. Dwarfs, for example, have the trait Dwarven Combat Training giving proficiency with battleaxes, handaxes, throwing hammers and warhammers.   How do the two types of proficiencies interact with each other? Consider the following figure from Faraway's Linear Models with R (2005, p. 59).    The first plot seems to indicate that the residuals and the fitted values are uncorrelated, as they should be in a homoscedastic linear model with normally distributed errors. Therefore, the second and third plots, which seem to indicate dependency between the residuals and the fitted values, suggest a different model.  But why does the second plot suggest, as Faraway notes, a heteroscedastic linear model, while the third plot suggest a non-linear model?  The second plot seems to indicate that the absolute value of the residuals is strongly positively correlated with the fitted values, whereas no such trend is evident in the third plot. So if it were the case that, theoretically speaking, in a heteroscedastic linear model with normally distributed errors  $$ \mbox{Cor}\left(\mathbf{e},\hat{\mathbf{y}}\right) = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}1 &amp; \cdots &amp; 1 \\ \vdots &amp; \ddots &amp; \vdots \\ 1 &amp; \cdots &amp; 1\end{array}\right] $$  (where the expression on the left is the variance-covariance matrix between the residuals and the fitted values) this would explain why the second and third plots agree with Faraway's interpretations.  But is this the case? If not, how else can Faraway's interpretations of the second and third plots be justified? Also, why does the third plot necessarily indicate non-linearity? Isn't it possible that it is linear, but that the errors are either not normally distributed, or else that they are normally distributed, but do not center around zero? Mean or sum of gradients for weight updates in SGD I am using single observation to compute losses using neural network implementation in PyTorch. I am confused in a small detail of SGD. If I compute loss and do loss.backward(), I am accumulating gradients.  If I do this on 100 observations and then run optimizer.step(), should I average out the gradients?  This is what I am doing as of now:  def compute_loss(training_data):   for data in training_data:     loss = F.mse_loss(data[0], data[1])     loss.backward()  def optimize(sample):   optimizer.zero_grad()   compute_loss(sample)   optimizer.step()   Should it be rather:  def compute_loss(training_data):   for data in training_data:     loss = F.mse_loss(data[0], data[1])     loss.backward(torch.Tensor([1.0/len(training_data)])) I find in many places mentions of pre-amplifiers being used to boost audio signals prior to feeding to a power amplifier.  Wikipedia's article on  gives some hints at their usage, but it doesn't really explain why it would be necessary to have two amplifiers in series rather than a single one with greater gain.  If a pre-amp is just a power amp with a smaller gain, what's the point, and why the distinction between the two kinds? Is the distinction in function, or simply purpose? Find all solutions to $x^9 \equiv 25 \pmod {29}$ Are there any more Asgardians? Override parent theme translation on child theme I have a parent theme that uses correctly load_theme_textdomain() to load all the translated strings in many languages.  Then I created a child theme that uses load_child_theme_textdomain() to achieve the same thing for its strings.  There are certain translated strings for a particular language on the parent theme that I'd like to replace/override in the child theme.  I know if they were on a template file I could replace the file and simply change the textdomain for those strings, but unfortunately the ones I'm talking about are used in many places and also in the dashboard (so inside some filter/action functions).  So my question is: is there a way to replace those translated strings inside the child theme without having to replace parent template files or functions?  I don't know, maybe adding a parent-theme.mo file inside the languages folder of the child theme with only those strings translated, or something like that. Let $a,b,c>0$ such that $a+b+c=3$, find max/min of $\frac1{a^2+1}+\frac1{b^2+1}+\frac1{c^2+1}$ Let $a,b,c&gt;0$ be real numbers such that $a+b+c=3$, find the maximum and minimum of:   $$\frac1{a^2+1}+\frac1{b^2+1}+\frac1{c^2+1}$$   I've tried using AM-GM-HM, but I can't find the maximum or the minimum.  Using intuition, substituting $a=b=c=1$ should give us one of the optimums, but I cannot prove that it is the optimum. Get three highest values from the array "I have" vs "I have got" I don't know what is the difference between using "I have got" and "I have" For example:      He's got broad shoulders.    Is it possible to say:      He has broad shoulders.    If yes, so what is the difference? According to this , if at least one of the nouns involved is plural then it should take the plural form of the verb. Otherwise, it should take the singular form of the verb. But in the last part it says not all grammars agree to those rules thus proximity rule applies. However, it doesn't explain when to apply the proximity rule and when not to use the former rules. creating model mesh and face explosions on Panda3d and Blender Centrifugal force acting on ring Take for example the case of a rod rotating about an axis passing through its centre of mass and perpendicular to it. It has a ring hung from one of its sides. The rotation of the rod causes the ring to move out wards and ultimately fall off the rod.   I asked my teacher what causes the ring to move out wards and he said the centrifugal force acting in the frame of reference of the ring causes motion. What exactly is the ring reference frame? Is it a rotating frame? How would u visualize motion in this frame of reference? What did Bill do to make Hanzo mad?
