I cannot find a reliable solution to start chrome (in kiosk mode) in Windows 10 at system startup, without showing the desktop environment.  More precisely, i CAN start Chrome in kiosk mode, but it takes a lot of time on our target devices (Industrial tablets) so whenever the device get rebooted, end users can see the desktop environment for 10-11 seconds.  Is it worth to try playing with chrome flags? i tried to disable some unused features but startup time doesn't change that much.  Windows Kiosk mode seems to work only with other browsers (IE) and the app i need to launch requires chrome, so I don't have many choices...  I cannot run chrome with the Windows Kiosk Mode because chrome is not compatible (not UWP), so I am just auto logging in the user, starting chrome at startup with the following flags:  "C:\path\to\chrome.exe" --kiosk --incognito --disable-pinch "file:\\C:\path\to\app.html"
I have a WinXP installation that is used to only connect to another PC with RDP.   A dummy user account gets logged in automatically, then the user must click a link to start the RDP connection with predefined parameters.  Is there a way to run the RDP client without Windows Explorer being accessible?
Is my sugar daddy scamming me Word for the satisfaction of curiosity There is a good feeling you get when your curiosity is satisfied, especially if is about a question you found interesting or important, or have spent a lot of time and energy trying to answer. Depending on how much I wanted to know, this feeling can be quite pleasing. Is there a word specifically for either the satisfaction of a curiosity, or the feeling that results? How do I set up a folder so that anything created in it inherits permissions? doing comparison if else in JasperReports Rights if we possess Carta di Soggiorno? I have searched the internet but could not find specific information so if we have got the following document "Carta di Soggiorno di Familiare di Un Cittadino Dell'Unione" (Residence Card of a family member of a Union Citizen, Italy) issued by the Italian authority, what rights do we possess of working inside Italy and EU? What about travelling? Will we be requiring visas for the states which are are not in Schengen? Implementing a sort of "tightened frenchspacing" By default, (La)TeX adds extra space between sentences. The exact rules are in the TeXbook, a summary by TH. can be found . What follows is is my "executive summary":   After any period (or quotation/exclamation mark) that doesn't follow a capital letter, TeX adds a font's "extra space" to the "normal (interword) space". For Computer Modern 10pt, the normal space is 3.33pt and the extra space 1.11pt, resulting in an intersentence space of 4.44pt (+33% compared to the nomal space, assuming no stretch and shrink). A sentence end after a capital letter is indicated by the \@ command: Ann is learning the ABC\@. To denote that a period after a lowercase letter doesn't end a sentence, one may use \@ as well as an explicit space: Prof.\@ Higgins or Prof.\ Higgins.   Intersentence spacing may be brought in line with normal spacing by issuing the \frenchspacing command. (This is the standard setting for certain languages, e.g. the  (n)german option of the babel package.) With \frenchspacing enabled, there's no need to use the \@ command. One may revert to (La)TeX's default behavour by issuing \nonfrenchspacing.  So, there's the choice between extra intersentence spacing and uniform spacing. What is missing in my opinion is a third option I'll call "tightened frenchspacing": normal (interword) spacing between sentences and decreased spacing after non-sentence ending periods. To be somewhat more precise (while still ignoring stretch and shrink), I envision the following:   Adhering to a font's ratio between "normal space" and "normal space plus extra space" (3:4 for Computer Modern), the intersentence space is set to the normal space. The space after non-sentence ending periods equals the normal space multiplied by the above ratio (resulting in a space of 2.5pt for Computer Modern). As with \nonfrenchspacing in effect, the \@ command is used to denote cases of special punctuation.   How should such a "tightened frenchspacing" option be implemented?  EDIT: Thanks to Mico for providing what may well be a stepping stone to a solution. Here's another attempt at clarification:   Simply reducing the spacing after any period is not what I had in mind. There should be a (tangible) difference between end-of sentence spaces and spaces after non-sentence-ending periods (only that the latter should be reduced instead the former augmented). If adhering to a font's normal space/extra space ratio is not possible, a solution that adds a fixed (reduced) space (say, a thin space) after non-sentence-ending periods will be accepted. For compatibility reasons, I'd prefer a solution that works with the traditional use of \@ (i.e allows "tightened frenchspacing" for existing documents without the need to change the document body). Should it turn out that a different set of "special punctuation" macros is needed, I'll accept this as a solution. Finite Sum of Power? When an option expires does that constitute a buy or sell A similar question recently asked about stock sales and option buys triggering wash sale rules.  If an option expires, is that considered a buy/sale ?  What I mean is: let's assume I have a call option with a target date of August 16. Now I sell the underlying stock somewhere before that (after July 16th). Does that trigger wash sale rules (if the option expires in the money, exercised by default) ?  Is an option expiring out of the money considered a sale ? Calculating optimal number of bins in a histogram I'm interested in finding as optimal of a method as I can for determining how many bins I should use in a histogram. My data should range from 30 to 350 objects at most, and in particular I'm trying to apply thresholding (like Otsu's method) where "good" objects, which I should have fewer of and should be more spread out, are separated from "bad" objects, which should be more dense in value. A concrete value would have a score of 1-10 for each object. I'd had 5-10 objects with scores 6-10, and 20-25 objects with scores 1-4. I'd like to find a histogram binning pattern that generally allows something like Otsu's method to threshold off the low scoring objects. However, in the implementation of Otsu's I've seen, the bin size was 256, and often I have many fewer data points that 256, which to me suggests that 256 is not a good bin number. With so few data, what approaches should I take to calculating the number of bins to use?

EDIT: Sorry I didn't mention it in the 1st place: I use zsh I am using a tikzpicture for plotting. the values I want to plot are typical (X,Y) pairs. The x-value is an uninteresting id-value. I want to order the bins ascending/descending according to the y-value, but how do I do that? The figure seems to automatically take the x-values for ordering, how can I override that? (I am not particularly fixed to tikzpicture - its just the first thing that actually worked and displayed the plot....)

How do I convert the coordinates of a click to a tilemap position? How do you turn a tilemap (produced by TileD) for cocos2d where I can click on individual items and get a callback?  Is it just a case of converting captured touch and finding out where it is on the tilemap and then converting that to pixels  -- but that doesn't say what item was clicked on.

Can Barbarians use 2 two-handed weapons in Diablo 3? Can barbarians dual wield two-handed weapons?  My barbarian character is only a level 50 now, but I'm not sure if I can dual wield two-handed weapons at a later level or not - or is there a special skill I need?  UPDATE It is sweet, that Blizzard have finally updated Diablo 3, so that the Crusader can have a 2-handed weapon in 1 hand ( passive). It is a shame that the Crusader can't dual wield a 2-handed weapon in both hands.
