It would seem that  is not showing any avid users:    I am guessing that this is a bug so I am here reporting it.
All beta sites (e.g. ) are appearing with 0 Q/D and 0 avid users.  is unaffected.  In the Q&amp;A spirit, my question is: Who borked the stats?
My question is about one particular usage of static keyword. It is possible to use static keyword to cover a code block within a class which does not belong to any function. For example following code compiles:  public class Test {     private static final int a;         static {         a = 5;         doSomething(a);     }     private static int doSomething(int x) {         return (x+5);     } }   If you remove the static keyword it complains because the variable a is final. However it is possible to remove both final and static keywords and make it compile.   It is confusing for me in both ways. How am I supposed to have a code section that does not belong to any method? How is it possible to invoke it? In general, what is the purpose of this usage? Or better, where can I find documentation about this? Troubleshooting advice for: -bash: cannot execute binary file: Exec format error I have a mining rig and am trying to run a program ./garlicoind  but I get this error:  -bash: ./garicoind: cannot execute binary file: Exec format error   Is this a common problem? What does it indicate? I have the following code:  \documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{article} \usepackage[margin=2cm]{geometry} %showframe \begin{document} \tableofcontents \newpage \section*{Abstract} \section{Introduction} \newpage \bibliographystyle{apacite} \bibliography{references} \end{document}   And when I create the table of contents it adds the "References" in the TOC, how can I remove this to not be included in TOC? So far I have tried something like   \bibliography*{references} I'm running Bash scripting, but sometimes I get confused which of these commands I use belong to who. Sometimes man xxx works, sometimes doesn't, so I use --help or info, mostly one of these works to show description of the command. Can anyone tell me how I would know what command belongs to what? Bash builtin, GNU utility, etc. Are there philosophers who examined the reasons for believing in the existence of other people? While I am familiar with Descartes and the oft-quoted idea, I think therefore I am, I am not familiar with any philosophy that actively sought to rationalize that anybody else exists.  Are there philosophers who analyzed this question? Or is it taken for granted that it is (im)possible for anybody to validate their own existence to somebody else? Film where aliens looking like humans are waiting in an airport closed due to snowstorm I saw the movie 6 - 7 years back on cable tv, from the looks of it it seemed to be made in the late 1990's or early 2000's. Unfortunately I could not see the complete movie. The story goes like--   Some people are waiting at a small airport because snowstorm activity has cancelled all flights in and out. There are two children in the group as well (one boy and a girl). Somehow they discover there are aliens looking like humans among them. They decide to check passengers through baggage scanners (checking the skeletal structure via x-ray). They find and kill 2 aliens.   and the big twist:      5. They then realize the two children are also aliens.   any ideas what the name of the movie is ??? Volume of the torus with an integral Requesting review of technically inaccurate answers Some answers are plain wrong, or even harmful. Usually these get spotted pretty quickly and either fixed or deleted by the poster, on the basis of comments/votes.  Sometimes though these slip under the radar - the OP ignores the downvotes/comments, or nobody even picks up on it the first time around.  I've always assumed that VLQ flags in the 10K queue for answers that are technically flawed, but otherwise OK were effectively "request for review by somebody knowledgeable in this area". It seems though that .  How should answers like this be handled instead if VLQ is not appropriate? Is there a mechanism for requesting further review? Raising them in chat is sometimes an option, but not always appropriate.   The useful actions that might happen as a result of increased visibility:   Edits by domain experts Downvotes to hide the poor answer Less flawed answers by experts Delete votes by 20K users   Would a "technical issue flag" that pushes to a tab in  /review help? Add notes under the table I'm using the latex package  because the  package isn't using APA style version 6 yet.  Now I'm trying to add a table with notes right underneath it, like in this table for instance:    Since the \caption{} is used as a title above the table, I have to add an extra row for the notes that goes over the whole table width. The problem is that the notes won't fit into one line so I need multi-line cell. How can I accomplish that? Or am I doing it totally wrong and there is a much easier way? I guess footnotes don't work here.  \documentclass{apa6e}  \begin{document} \shorttitle{} \begin{table} \caption{title} \begin{tabular}{cc} foo &amp; bar\\ \hline \multicolumn{2}{l}{Notes. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Cras lacus orci, porttitor et posuere sit amet, tempor non justo. Ut quis aliquet turpis. Ut dictum nulla eget purus elementum a lacinia libero varius. Donec malesuada nulla ut odio rhoncus convallis. Aenean faucibus sollicitudin sapien, a vestibulum ante rhoncus sit amet. In vitae mi justo. In arcu metus, porta et lacinia ut, ultricies sed eros.} \end{tabular}  \end{table} \end{document} I know this is a very common corollary of the class equation. And I know how to do it by using class equation.   But can you do it bu using group action, maybe find a nice set for G to act on? Is a NVIDIA GeForce with Optimus Technology supported by Ubuntu? string array with garbage character at end I have a char array buffer that I am using to store characters that the user will input one by one.  My code below works but has a few glitches that I can't figure out:   when I execute a printf to see what's in Buffer, it does fill up but I get garbage characters at the end it won't stop at 8 characters despite being declared as char Buffer[8];   Can somebody please explain to me what is going on and perhaps how I could fix this? Thanks.  char Buffer[8]; //holds the byte stream int i=0;  if (/* user input event has occurred */)  {         Buffer[i] = charInput;         i++;          // Display a response to input         printf("Buffer is %s!\n", Buffer);  }   Output:   tagBuffer is 1┬┬w! tagBuffer is 12┬w! tagBuffer is 123w! tagBuffer is 1234! tagBuffer is 12345! tagBuffer is 123456=! tagBuffer is 1234567! tagBuffer is 12345678!  tagBuffer is 123456789! Is it safe to use oil at its smoking point? Teflon toxicity and second degree burns aside, are there any health issues related to cooking with oil at or past its smoking point? Googling a bit I found one article that went so far as to say you should always "discard oil that's reached its smoke point, along with any food with which it had contact". Other searches showed pages suggesting cancer risks.  I've never given it a thought before and I often use peanut oil at smoking point to brown meat. return eats exception I found the following behavior at least weird:  def errors():     try:         ErrorErrorError     finally:         return 10  print errors() # prints: 10 # It should raise: NameError: name 'ErrorErrorError' is not defined   The exception disappears when you use return inside a finally clause. Is that a bug? Is that documented anywhere?  But the real question (and the answer I will mark as correct) is: What is the python developers' reason to allow that odd behavior? Why is the speed of light defined as 299792458 m/s? Why is the speed of light defined as $299792458$ $m/s$? Why did they choose that number and no other number?  Or phrased differently:  Why is a metre $1/299792458$ of the distance light travels in a sec in a vacuum? What's the fastest way to find mineshafts? , and one place I'm fairly sure I can find them is a mineshaft.  Which leaves me back at square one, how do I find a mine shaft?  It seems they were made substantially harder to find between 1.8 and 1.0.  What's the fastest way to find a mineshaft? I'm looking for a 90s (or early 2000s) scifi (mini)series where a boy and old man chase a black guy in metal suit. I think they were going through different dimensions. I remember part of it, but I don't think I ever saw how it ended. I remember my friend telling me there was a twist at the end. I think they were trying to find something and he was always ahead of them.. A generic question across most board games: once a player has taken their turn (taken their finger off the piece they are playing), should they be allowed to change their mind?  Similarly, if a player forgets to take a privilege, such as an occupied building in Puerto Rico giving an extra worker, or plantation, if they remember a few moves later, should they be allowed to take the privilege?  Very few rules explicitly express how these events should be dealt with, so they are generally left up to the group. However, my group's rules will change depending on the personality of the players playing (not all members are available each time we play). I would like to make this consistent, and would appreciate feedback on how others deal with this scenario. Split a plane into smaller plane objects I just started using Blender and I'm trying to cut a plane in equal squares and have each square be its own separate object. My main goal is create the plane and add a displace and decimate modifier to create a low poly terrain. By cutting the plane in equal squares I'll be able to tile them in a 3D maze game I'm working on. If anyone know a better way to approach this it would also be greatly appreciated. Add something to crontab programmatically (over ssh) I have a deployment script, it must add something to a user crontab (trigger a script that clean logs every XXX days), however this must only be done during the first deployment, or when it needs to be updated.  (I can run xxx.py deploy env or xxx.py update env)  so I have to do this:  Check if my cronJob already exist Put my cronJob if it does not already exist or update my cronjob if one of the parameter of the command is different   I don't see how to add/check/remove something to the crontab without using crontab -e or editing the crontab file (download it, rewrite it, re-upload it)  PS : this is a user specific cronjob, "webadmin" is going to do it and he should not use sudo to do it.
