The Stack Exchange website is a annoying to view at anything but the Stack Exchange Official Window Width. (Which is .) Use a narrow window, and you get truncated text. Use a wide window and you get a lot of blank space. (Except for a few moderator tools which are exclusively available from the otherwise blank left margin and are not visible at all unless you make your window wider than the SEOWW!)  Please let us get a comfortable experience at our choice of window width, chosen to suit our monitor setup, eyesight and window placement habits. Browser window size affects every site you use, so "fixing" it for SE can just break something else.  The window width is a user choice, not a site choice.   was declined, apparently on the basis that if you have a wider window than the SEOWW, it's not too bad. But for those of us who have a preferred window width narrower than the SEOWW, it's much worse: there's some stuff we have to keep scrolling horizontally for, and even stuff that we cannot access at all.  A lot has changed since that request was made in 2009 and declined in 2013, and it's time to revisit this issue.
When will SO stop wasting real estate of my screen by having static width layout?  EDIT  It would be very interesting to hear how does Joel, being UI specialist, feel about this. JoelOnSoftware site has fluid layout...
A more specific question about a tricky redirect case I am wondering if there is anything in Marvel comic book canon or in the MCU that says that the Infinity Gauntlet has the power to make someone fall in love with the person wearing the Infinity Gauntlet, or that the wearer of the Infinity Gauntlet can use the Infinity Gauntlet to make two strangers fall in love with each other? Perhaps the combined power of the Mind Stone and the Soul Stone would make two people fall in love. Fix for Hibernate error "Use of the same entity name twice" How you fix the following Hibernate error:  What does "Use of the same entity name twice". If light rays obey to the wave equation, why can they be thought as straight lines? I'm a newbie with physics but I'm wondering how a ray of light can essentially be represented. I have always known that a ray of light proceeds in a straight line until it encounters another object (or material) that refracts/reflects it. But a light ray should be part of an electro-magnetic wave, is this correct? If it is so, it should obey to the  and this doesn't seem to me to describe a straight line ray.  I'm having problems visualizing how light is emitted and how it relates with the wave equation. Can someone with a clear understanding of the problem explain it to me in simple terms? Tools to measure the nonrandomness of database I was working on historical data looking for anomalous patterns that we would not expect to occur at random. I'd like to create a scheme to analyze data and markets to test for statistical significance and consistency over time.  Question : Are there some tools we could use to evaluate the nonrandomness of a database? What do we use usually to say that something is random or not (statistically)? Figure we work with change in some value over time. What does the operator "<<" mean in C#? How to define orbital angular momentum in other than three dimensions? Where is the denoise option in 2.90? Definition of "pepper" in hash functions To be truly standards-compliant, must all functions in C (except for main) have a prototype, even if they are only used after their definition in the same translation unit? How to know the types of windowing system, window manager and desktop environment of a Unix-like OS I've been reading a Wikipedia article that describes the symptoms of rabies in various species, and I want to add a clarification note about which species (or species) a specific paragraph refers to. How can I make it clear that I'm referring either to the singular or plural of the word "species" when the singular of this word is the same as its plural? "Species or species" is the only grammatically correct way that I can think of, but it seems redundant and confusing. Is there any better way to contrast the singular of "species" from the plural of "species"? If $f^2$ is Riemann Integrable is $f$ always Riemann Integrable? Cards entering the battlefield simultaneously and "Enter the Battlefield" effects I find myself constantly looking up the syntax of  find . -name "FILENAME"  -exec rm {} \;   mainly because I don't see how exactly the -exec part works. What is the meaning of the braces, the backslash and the semicolon? Are there other use cases for that syntax? Order of redirections I don't quite understand how the computer reads this command.  cat file1 file2 1&gt; file.txt 2&gt;&amp;1  If I understand, 2&gt;&amp;1 simply redirect Standard Error to Standard Output.  By that logic, the command reads to me as follows:    concatenate files file1 and file2.  send stdout from this operation to file.txt. send stderr to stdout. end?   I'm not sure what the computer's doing. By my logic, the command should be   cat file1 file2 2&gt;&amp;1 &gt; file.txt   but this is not correct. A new Victorian-set British novel begins sentences containing h-dropping with lower-case e's, as in " 'e took my money, 'e did." This seems incorrect but I'm at a loss to find the rule. Cross-thread operation not valid: Control accessed from a thread other than the thread it was created on Is there an infinite amount of wavelengths of light? Is the EM spectrum continuous? The electromagnetic spectrum is a continuum of wavelengths of light, and we have labels for some ranges of these and numerical measurements for many.  Question: Is the EM spectrum continuous such that between two given wavelengths (e.g. 200nm and 201nm) there is an infinite number of distincts wavelengths of light?  Or is there some cut-off of precision with which light might exist (e.g. can light only have wavelengths of whole number when measured in nanometers, etc.)? FileReader.js nothing happens in IE9
