I've just found, that if you enter a really long Location name in your profile settings (and, of course, save it), then go to the Profile page, the location name won't break or display as ..., and takes up the full available (and not available) place.  This makes the username, title and the description unreadable.   I've also discovered, that this doesn't apply to 'website link', it creates ellipsis (...) if very long.  Here is a screenshot of the issue:    The screenshot was taken on Stack Overflow, but the issue applies to all SE sites, including this one (Meta SE).
Let me start this with : Very long "About me" text squeezes both the left side (flair) and the right side (the section with location, GitHub link, etc.)  Now, the reverse thing has happened:         put a long text in their "location", and it causes the right section to be overly extended, effectively squeezing the About Me section.  When will the squeezing game end?
How do I get attention for one of my own questions without a good answer? I asked a question almost as soon as I got my account. I got a few decent answers, but none of them helped solve my problem. The question has long since become buried by newer questions, and there's still no accepted answer. Unfortunately, because there are quite a few answers with votes, to a casual observer it probably looks like the question was answered and I just neglected to mark an answer as accepted, and the system does not consider it "unanswered".  Or, I asked a question that was a bit more difficult to answer. After waiting for some time, I received no answers, little or no comments, and only a few views. The question does show up in the "unanswered" list, but no one has answered my question.  In either case, what's the protocol for me to try to get this question answered?  I see several options:   Post the question a second time, possibly linking to the original, to get attention for the original question. This is encouraged on sites like Reddit.  However, it's probably not appropriate here, since we're encouraged to check for duplicates and not submit a question that's already been asked by someone else, so this probably falls under that heading. Wait for some kind of wiki-like talk page to be implemented, then post a plea on the talk page for input and hope that activity on the talk page bumps up the question. Edit the question, but do nothing further on the Stack Exchange site. If I edit my post to say that I haven't accepted any of the current answers but am looking for more, then the question might get answered eventually by people browsing through old questions to find something they can answer. Post the question on other sites, but link to my original question on Stack Exchange. People will either answer here, or they'll answer on the other site and I can post the accepted answer here myself.  This might be considered spamming, so it might be better to do this without the link.      For more information, see the "" page in the . I recently read that:     What our current level of thermodynamics does tell us though is that if there is such a thing as a Big Crunch, the universe will look a lot different as it heads towards collapse than it did when expanding – the universe started in a state of low entropy and high order and will end in a state of high entropy and   low order.   But shouldn't the order be in a high state and hence entropy becomes a low state in the Big Crunch (assuming a closed universe)?  The reason I write this is because the gravitational forces in a closed universe are so strong they will cause gravitational collapse so the universe will shrink and go backwards, eventually through all the stages of the big bang and become a singularity once more.   It was my understanding that a singularity has a state of high order and low entropy. Have I got this the wrong way round?   If so; Can someone please explain why? Allow rejected editors to be @replied to How do I print all lines of a file with duplicate values in a certain column How do I install drivers for Realtek RTL8812BU? So I've been experimenting with Ubuntu on and off for a while, but I honestly have no idea what the hell I'm doing. So I have a realtek RTL8812bu WiFi dongle that I'm hoping to get working. I did some research, and came across  that a couple people across two threads said worked for them:  At the bottom it said there is a new version . So somewhere it said it was confirmed to work on kernels up to 4.16, so I checked and I'm on 4.15.0. But the problem I'm having, is what am I supposed to do? There is some installation guide at the bottom that is about as clear as mud to me since I don't know much. Increase close vote weight for gold tag badge holders he or she vs their when using 'one' as a pronoun Mindfulness allows one to cope with their daily challenges.   Is "one" correct with "their" here?  I want to know if it is okay to user their (instead of he or she) when using 'one' as a pronoun. Intuition behind logarithm change of base I try to understand the actual intuition behind the logarithm properties and came across  that explains the multiplication and thereby also the division properties very nicely:     Suppose you have a table of powers of 2, which looks like this: (after revision)      $$\begin{array}{rrrrrrrrrr} 0&amp;1&amp;2&amp;3&amp;4&amp;5&amp;6&amp;7&amp;8&amp;9&amp;10\\ 1&amp;2&amp;4&amp;8&amp;16&amp;32&amp;64&amp;128&amp;256&amp;512&amp;1024 \end{array}$$      Each column says how many twos you have to multiply to get the number in that column.  For example, if you multiply 5 twos, you get $2\cdot2\cdot2\cdot2\cdot2=32$, which is the number in column 5.      Now suppose you want to multiply two numbers from the bottom row, say $16\cdot 64$.  Well, the $16$ is the product of 4 twos, and the $64$ is the product of 6 twos, so when you multiply them together you get a product of 10 twos, which is $1024$.   I found that very helpful to understand the actual proofs for this property.  I still struggle to get the idea behind the change of base rule. I'm familiar with the proof that goes like:  $$\log_a x = y \implies a^y = x$$ $$\log_b a^y = \log_b x$$ $$y \cdot \log_b a = \log_b x$$ $$y = \frac{\log_b x}{\log_b a}$$  But can somehow provide a explanation in the style of the quoted answer why this actually works? The curious case of Dmitri Valtane Prove that equation has exactly 2 solutions What programming languages can I use in Blender? What version of Python does Blender use and are other languages available? Also, does Python work the same in Blender as when you write console applications or when working with Pygame or are there any differences? If so, what are the main differences? I am installing Ubuntu 16.04 in an Intel NUC computer with UEFI enabled. I am using an SSD from another computer. During the installation I chose Erase the disk and make a new full install  At the end of the process I see:  grub-efi-amd64-signed failed installation /target/ Ubuntu 16.04    And the system does not boot.  I tried to use boot-repair but apparently it does not solve the problem. Help me understand the oddity of percentage gains and losses? If you start with $100K, and you get a 50% gain, it's $150K.  Then, you get a 50% loss: now it's $75K. Reverse the order (i.e. lose 50%, gain 50%), it's the same thing (a 25% loss).  So, 50% up then 50% down, or 20% up then 20% down, you don't get back to "even"; it's a loss.  My question is: how can one make this notion work to their advantage, instead of to their disadvantage?  I'm wondering if you have any strategies/thoughts/ideas on how to make this effect work for you, instead of against you. Or is my thinking on this as a strategy somehow incorrect?  The effect seems to diminish with lower swings in returns.  E.g. the +20% / -20% case, results in a 4% loss.  I.e. 100K -> 120K -> 96K.  Not clear what the formula for it is, but it's not linear. How am I to "[u]se induction to show that $n$ straight lines in the plane divide the plane into $\frac{n^2+n+2}{2}$ regions"? It is assumed here that no two lines are parallel and that no three lines have a common point. Further, this is not a non-Euclidean problem, but I wouldn't mind a discussion on the non-Euclidean nature of the problem.  I was thinking it might be easier to show using the unit sphere.    A GOOD REFERENCE I FOUND THAT WILL BE USEFUL TO ANYONE COMING ACROSS THIS PROBLEM IS Concrete Mathematics, Graham, Knuth, Patashnik pp. 4–8. How do I hide posts matching my ignored tags? Where and how do I go about hiding the posts that match any of the tags on my ignored list? I'm trying to print types like off_t and size_t.  What is the correct placeholder for printf() that is portable?  Or is there a completely different way to print those variables? From some comments in the answers for  (now deleted, 10k only), there's confusion around the usage of I vs. me:  While the sentence, "the other attendees are myself and Steve," is agreed to be incorrect, there's confusion about whether the correct form is "the other attendees are me and Steve" or "the other attendees are Steve and I."  (I've always used the heuristic of removing the other people from the sentence, so I always thought "the other attendee is me" would be correct, instead of "the other attendee is I." Is this true, or am I using a flawed heuristic?) PostgreSQL execute a default query when no row are returned I need to calculate the average score of a list of userId.  I have a table user_place_score:  (user_id, place_id, score)   Sometimes I do not have the score (no row for (user_id,place_id) in the table) so I need to fetch a "default" score from the table default_place_score:  (place_id, score)   Is is possible in PostgreSQL to do this in one query? For a given list of users and one place_id, select all their scores in the user_place_score and if no row is found then take the score found if the default_place_score table?  Basically I want to avoid doing this kind of stuff:  for (Integer userId : userIds) {   score = (query to fetch the score for this userId)   if (score == null)     defaultScore = (query to fetch the default score for this PlaceId)    total = total + defaultScore }  //return the average return total/numberOfUser How did the Swooping Evil Venom infused rain affect the magical community?
