I'm from programmer background.  I would like to mimic the color scheme used in most Google Android app such as GMail, Google Analytic, to use them in my own app.      Those color looks   Elegant Harmony Comfortable   I was wondering, usually, for a designer, how does they generate such color scheme?
I'm a web developer, started to become a web designer. However, I think my understanding of colors is not practical yet. There are tools out there that can give you color harmonies, and more stuff, like , but they don't give you the start point. I mean, how should I know that for this web site, I'd better use green and for that website, choose red. How should I know that?  I think color selection is more like an art, instead of being a science, and I'm like "you should become an color artist, in order to become a web designer".  How can I improve my color selection skill?
What's with the Japanese SO's stats? I took this screenshot just now, and  about the new . I refreshed the page, went back, and nothing changed.    And, here's what I find odd:  It clearly isn't almost 2014 years old. That's more likely when it was started.  How can there be 8.7 questions a day, while there are 0 visits a day? That's kind of impossible.   I'm hoping here that it's not just me. I know very limited Japanese, not even enough to hold a conversation with a toddler. I'm merely observing. I'm on Ubuntu 16.04.1 at the moment, and system windows like the Files window, Terminal or System Software open behind the Unity launcher, which means they are partially hidden behind it. I can move them with Alt+F7, but I'd like a more permanent solution to this problem. Adding an [AuthorYear] block at the beginning of bibliography entries I want to add a block at the beginning of my bib entries of the form      [Lastnameauthor(s) Year]   When the shortauthor field is defined it should use this field +Year instead. The following example is fairly minimal:  \begin{filecontents*}{test.bbx} \ProvidesFile{test.bbx}  [\abx@bbxid $Id: test.bbx,v 0.9d 2010/09/03 20:11:58 lehman beta $]  \RequireBibliographyStyle{authoryear}  \DeclareBibliographyDriver{article}{%   \usebibmacro{bibindex}%   \usebibmacro{begentry}%   %---add something here---   \usebibmacro{author/translator+others}%   \setunit{\labelnamepunct}\newblock   \usebibmacro{title}%   \newunit   \printlist{language}%   \newunit\newblock   \usebibmacro{byauthor}%   \newunit\newblock   \usebibmacro{bytranslator+others}%   \newunit\newblock   \printfield{version}%   \newunit\newblock   \usebibmacro{in:}%   \usebibmacro{journal+issuetitle}%   \newunit   \usebibmacro{byeditor+others}%   \newunit   \usebibmacro{note+pages}%   \newunit\newblock   \iftoggle{bbx:isbn}     {\printfield{issn}}     {}%   \newunit\newblock   \usebibmacro{doi+eprint+url}%   \newunit\newblock   \usebibmacro{addendum+pubstate}%   \setunit{\bibpagerefpunct}\newblock   \usebibmacro{pageref}%   \usebibmacro{finentry}}  \endinput  \end{filecontents*} \begin{filecontents*}{MeineBib.bib}   @article{example,  author={Firstname Lastname and First Last},   title={Title},  journal={Journal},  year={Year},   pages={Pages}, }    \end{filecontents*}  \documentclass[12pt,ngerman,    ]{scrartcl} \usepackage[ngerman]{babel} \usepackage{filecontents} \usepackage[babel,german=quotes]{csquotes} \usepackage [bibstyle=test]{biblatex} \bibliography{MeineBib}  \begin{document} \tableofcontents \cite{example} \printbibliography\end{document}   I'm guessing the solution lies here  DeclareBibliographyDriver{article}{%       \usebibmacro{bibindex}%       \usebibmacro{begentry}%       %---add something here---       \usebibmacro{author/translator+others}%   but I can't find out how. It should look like this  which is an existing style (natdin) in BibTeX, but not in biblatex. What does ;; do in sh? Which features of a wizard's familiar, if any, are considered magical? The  spell has a duration of instantaneous, which implies that the familiar itself is not an ongoing magical effect. However, the spell provides a number of ongoing features that are definitely supernatural:    The familiar disappears when it drops to 0 HP. The wizard can temporarily or permanently dismiss the familiar. The wizard can communicate with the familiar telepathically. The wizard can observe through the familiar's eyes and ears. The familiar can deliver touch spells on behalf of the wizard.   Which of these features are considered magical? For example, would any of them show up to a detect magic spell or be suppressed by an antimagic field? In addition, is my assumption above correct that the familiar itself is not considered magical? It is known that a superconductor is a material with electrical resistance zero. My question is, it is exactly zero, a theoretical zero, or for practical realistic reasons it is effectively zero? I know that there is no vector space having precisely $6$ elements. Does every set have a group structure? On some user profiles, e.g.  image proportions are broken:        Image on activity tab or on  page isn’t distorted:        The issue is probably related to the old one: [Probability]need help to understand the following expression I have a collection of articles written in latex, and I would like to "merge" them into a larger thesis document, in which each article will be a chapter. I have been looking at include and input, which are great if you start with the meta-document in mind. However in my articles I have sometimes a bit exotic dependencies, such as dot2texi, and using the naive approach fails rather abysmally with all kinds of broken paths.  So I was wondering, do you recommend any "best practices" for merging non-trivial documents -- which packages to look at, or to avoid at all cost, etc.  Thanks Can I use Wubi for manual installation? Is it possible to use Wubi for Ubuntu 13.04? I read that it will not be supported in the official release due to some problems. Is this going to change in the future, and can we expect to see a future release with support for 13.04? How do I programmatically obtain the version in JBoss AS 5.1? Short Story/Novella in Which People Living in What they Think is Small Town Fifties America Find Look Magazine and Don't Recognize Anything in It This is probably from the mid-to-late fifties.  It involved families living in what seemed to be normal, small town America of the time.  But two boys found in a garbage dump or in a nearby landfill a copy of "LOOK" magazine from their time period (1955? 1957?).  Their problem was that they and their families didn't recognize any of the people or events that were reported in the magazine.    The tone of the articles in the magazine matched their actual lives in that the magazine reported world events, trouble spots, celebrities, politics, and had advertisements for cigarettes and TVs, etc. but the facts were completely different. I think the magazine was a magazine from 'real' America and they were living in a 'fake' America, i.e., they had been brought up in a separate isolated environment with everything different but now had found something from the 'real' world. The tone of the story was that they were never supposed to know about any of this. Maybe, just maybe, part of it was a story about Marilyn Monroe but none of the people had ever heard of her. I can't remember much more than that but I have a nagging thought that they were part of some controlled environment experiment by the US Military. Prove that the additive group $ℚ$ is not isomorphic with the multiplicative group $ℚ^*$. Prove that $ℚ^*_{&gt;0}$ is not isomorphic with $ℚ$. How to prove $( A \times B ) \cap ( C \times D ) = ( A \cap C ) \times ( B \cap D )$ ? I have just reinstalled Apache and PHP5 but when I visit my doc root it just downloads a "download" file. And when I try documentroot/index.php it just downloads the PHP file.  I have PHP installed but Apache doesn't seem to want to execute it. People suggested adding a 'Load Module' line to my httpd.conf but I don't have that file. Auto-inserting Stack Overflow affiliate into all Amazon links We have officially discontinued the Amazon book affiliate remnant ads, since despite our best efforts they don't perform well for our audience and cannot be made to perform well.  We've often wondered,   I'm thinking this isn't a problem; it has gotten lots of support historically. So we're going to go ahead and do it, so the company Amazon account is still getting some use, and we benefit a little.   To be clear: from this point on, all Amazon links posted on all sites will automatically be rewritten to add our affiliate link. We have a clever affiliate redirect that geolocates the IP address and redirects to the appropriate regional Amazon store (amazon.uk, amazon.ca, et cetera).  If you have any feedback on this, or suggestions, as they say &hellip; speak now or forever hold your peace! When is it appropriate to use SQL Server Developer Edition? Do you use SQL Server Developer Edition on server-class machines in DEV and STAGING environments?  I am working on a large project where (if it passes the proof of concept stage) we will have several large geographically distributed enterprise class database servers running SQL Server 2012 Enterprise Edition.  We will have a production environment will initially have 3 servers, our Staging environment will have a minimum of 3 servers, and our Development environment will have 1 server (hosting three instances).  I was under the impression that we would only need to acquire Enterprise licences for the actual production servers, and we could get by with developer edition in our developer and staging environments because they are not "production".  Other sources have told me that we need to have an enterprise licence on all of the above mentioned machines, and that the developer edition is only meant for a single developer on their workstation.  Since developer edition has all the sexy features of Enterprise, I can't really see the value of it on a workstation class machine, especially for developing and testing the type of high availability system we are building.  If we have to fork out Enterprise licences for a dev server, that will just about kill our proof of concept stage, thus killing the project.  Forcing an enterprise licence on a staging environment will make management just want to skip staging altogether. `time echo` got no output I just can't seem to figure this one out.  I want to use the command line to connect to a MySQL database residing on another server.  I went ahead and created the username and password for the user.  I have also granted all privileges on that user for that database.  When using the command: mysql -h &lt;hostname&gt; -u &lt;username&gt; -p, I get the following error:  ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user '&lt;username&gt;'@'&lt;local_machine_hostname&gt;' (using password: YES)   The problem is that it keeps appending the current machine's hostname into the username.  Obviously, that user@&lt;local_machine_hostname&gt; is not correct.  It doesn't matter what I type.  For instance, if I type:  mysql -h &lt;hostname&gt; -u '&lt;username&gt;'@'&lt;hostname&gt;' -p   It does the same, only in the error output, it says:  Access denied for user '&lt;username&gt;@&lt;hostname&gt;'@'&lt;local_machine_hostname&gt;'   Is there a setting in a configuration file which is allowing this to happen?  It's really quite annoying.  I need to set up a tikiwiki server, and it cannot connect because during the step where you set up mysql, it keeps appending the local machine's hostname to the mysql login name.
