Well, I have few directories have name contains hashes (#, eg: #abczxy). Now I can't to execute this cd #foo it will redirect me back to the root directory equal with this command cd  The question is, is this possible to do that or is there any tricks allow me do that?  Thanks.
I want to enter the following folder in the terminal:  Milano, Torino (Jan)-Compressed   How should I write the command cd to enter this directory?  Spaces and several other special characters like \, *, ), ( and ? cause problems when I try to use them in the command line or scripts, e.g.:    $ cd space dir bash: cd: space: No such file or directory  $ cat space file cat: space: No such file or directory cat: file: No such file or directory  $ cat ( bash: syntax error near unexpected token `newline'  $ echo content &gt;\ &gt; ^C  $ ls ? (  )  *  ?  \   How do I enter file or directory names that contain special characters in the terminal in general?
How to export a individual layer with a fixed master layer in Photoshop? Let's say I have some layers and a single different one, or a group of layers I want to export merged together, in a way that every single exported layer is merged with a specific layer or group of layers.  In the example below I have some layers which need to be exported into JPG or PNG, merged with the very top layer called "Blurred". In my case, I want to export the layers (Jan 8 + Blurred) and (Layer 10 + Blurred) and so on. Acting as exporting layers merged with a master layer called "Blurred".  My question in a simple way: how to apply a Master layer(s)/Group(s) in Photoshop to be exported with every layer I have? What is the cause for the validity of Newton's third law? What, specifically, causes newton's third law?  For instance, if I push on a wall, why is it that I experience a force in the opposite direction?    I seem to vaguely understand that is has something to do with electronic repulsion or molecular compression (maybe that's completely wrong, I don't know).  As a related question, what would happen if two objects that were /infinitely/ immovable (at the molecular level, it cannot be broken or compressed) collided with each-other? Recently I had a bunch of my own scripts for the thumbnails in Nautilus: , , office documents and so on.  Seems like either I’m doing something wrong (thumbnail generation behavior changed), or custom thumbnailes don’t work in latest GNOME at all, even my previous scripts, which worked smoothly on previous versions of Ubuntu.  I’ve done some research, tried to run a simple script (see below) and it didn’t work out.  My test thumbnailer in /usr/share/thumbnailers/z.thumbnailer:  [Thumbnailer Entry] Exec=/home/maximal/thumb.sh %s %i %u %o MimeType=image/webp;image/x-webp   Where /home/maximal/thumb.sh is:  #!/bin/bash echo $0 &gt;&gt; /home/maximal/thumb.log echo $1 &gt;&gt; /home/maximal/thumb.log echo $2 &gt;&gt; /home/maximal/thumb.log echo $3 &gt;&gt; /home/maximal/thumb.log echo $4 &gt;&gt; /home/maximal/thumb.log   Then, when I remove thumbnail cache rm -rf ~/.cache/thumbnails and restart Nautilus nautilus -q, my log file doesn’t contain anything and ~/.cache/thumbnails/fail/gnome-thumbnail-factory contains all the failed thumbs (looks like corrupted/empty PNGs):    So, apparently, Nautilus even didn’t try to execute my thumbnailer script. When I try to run thumb command itself, it works perfectly. For example convert through cwebp|dwebp package:  convert -thumbnail 256x256 file.webp png:file.webp.png   When I wrap this command to a thumbnailer, it looks like it wasn’t even requested to run by Nautilus.  [Thumbnailer Entry] Exec=convert -thumbnail %sx%s %i png:%o MimeType=image/webp;image/x-webp;   Exactly the same situation occurs with other my thumbnailers: audio waveforms, office documents, photoshop files and so on.  Could anyone help? For which values does the Matrix system have a unique solution, infinitely many solutions and no solution? Given the system:  $$\begin{align}  &amp; x+3y-3z=4 \\   &amp; y+2z=a \\  &amp; 2x+5y+(a^2-9)z=9 \end{align}$$  For which values of a (if any) does the system have a unique solution, infinitely many solutions, and no solution?    So I am getting that it has: infinitely many solutions at: (-1)    No solution at (1)    Unique solution at (-1,1)    AM I RIGHT?? While talking about ships and countries, is it a good practice to use the feminine form?  For example:  "Her economy" - while referring to a country's economy "Her flag (or deck etc)" - while referring to a ship  Is this practice common? Is it used today? I have a sentence that contains a number of long dataset names. I would like to allow LaTeX to break these names at certain positions that I would like to specify somehow just like I can use \- to allow a word break with hyphenation. But: I would like LaTeX not to insert a dash (which could be mistaken as belonging to the dataset name). How can I do this?   (Something similar is realized in the url package so I guess I could just read that code :) I would not like to use the url package here to be able to make a syntactical (and typographic) difference between urls and datset names.) Newton's Law of Graviation: Why $G$ and not e.g. $\dfrac{1}{4\pi G_0}$? How would one go about proving that the rationals are not the countable intersection of open sets? I'm trying to prove that the rationals are not the countable intersection of open sets, but I still can't understand why   $$\bigcap_{n \in \mathbf{N}} \left\{\left(q - \frac 1n, q + \frac 1n\right) : q \in \mathbf{Q}\right\}$$   isn't a counter-example. Any ideas? Thanks! I just bought a Ryanair plane ticket except that I did not see the QR code on the boarding pass, is that normal? the message is &quot;&quot;. thank you. Is it possible for a system to have negative potential energy? difference between "function foo() {}" and "foo() {}" I can define bash functions using or omitting the function keyword. Is there any difference?  #!/bin/bash  function foo() {   echo "foo" }  bar() {   echo "bar" }  foo  bar   Both calls to functions foo and bar succeed and I can't see any difference. So I am wondering if it is just to improve readability, or there is something that I am missing...  BTW in other shells like dash (/bin/sh is symlinked to dash in debian/ubuntu) it fails when using the function keyword. Relativistic Mass and Dark Matter In a question  Ron Maimon comments that "relativistic mass makes gravity, not rest mass."  If so, does that mean that the faster that stars orbit the galaxy the larger the relativistic mass of the galaxy therefore more gravity therefore the stars orbit even faster therefore the gravity gets even more therefore the stars keep on getting faster ...  So the speed of stars and mass of galaxy would be correlated with age and history of the galaxy or galaxy clusters and that's why calculations of galaxies' masses don't add up. Lately I've been seeing this cookie popup that blocks a lot of the screen.  When I try to do the &quot;manage cookies&quot; thing, all it shows me are several categories, with a green oval containing a black circle to the right of each.  Clicking on that oval makes it disappear.  Clicking on the same spot again makes it reappear.  But I see no indication as to which state is off or on. So how can I make this popup go away, never to bother me again?  Or failing that, could you at least provide some indication as to what those buttons do?  Like maybe simple text saying &quot;Off&quot; or &quot;On&quot;? Setting CSS pseudo-class rules from JavaScript Recommend a statistics fundamentals book To give you some background, I have a grasp on the basics of statistics and probability theory and even remember touching Bayes theorem at the university data mining course. But being a few years away from the university made my math got extremely rusty (so much for last-minute pre-exam cramming). While I remember various random basic concepts, there are a lot of gaps in my understanding of them.  What would be a good material (a book, a site, or otherwise equally accessible medium) to revise the fundamentals and go beyond basics? I'd like a book that can be actually read as a book (most statistics books are really dry and are close to being reference material, rather than a book). Prove that $4\sin\frac{2\pi}{7}- \tan\frac{\pi}{7}= \sqrt{7}$ . Prove that $$4\sin\frac{2\pi}{7}- \tan\frac{\pi}{7}= \sqrt{7}$$   I think midway calculations are not easy formulas, I can't find what kind of formula transformation to solve! I think the best solution here is using right triangle . . . I have one solution too, but not pretty . ! The times they are a-changin' Blender 2.78 file size grows and does never shrink I made a huge project, wanted to reduce file size from 1.3GB to below 1GB. Compressing did not help. I removed objects from scene. Also textures. I then realized, the file size even was the same when I delete ALL objects. Why?  Download of sample:   Before deleting all: 1.2GB, after: 1.1GB.
