Good morning everyone!  Is it correct to say " I' m interested in him learning French in the future"?
I assume that the following sentences are grammatically correct:   He resents your being more popular than he is. Most of the members paid their dues without my asking them. They objected to the youngest girl's being given the command position. What do you think about his buying such an expensive car? We were all sorry about Jane's losing her parents like that.   I'm still getting used to this possessive gerund structure. It sounded so weird to me at first. Is the structure used in both formal and informal contexts? Are there any alternative structures that result in the same meaning and are more frequently used? (Examples taken from )
Blender for Chromebook How would I be able to run Blender on a Chromebook? The Rollapp is a farce that demands money for free software, and the whole reason I didn't buy a windows laptop is because I hate Windows 10, so is there another option? Illustrator CC: Turn off align objects to pixel grid I have inadvertently created an illustration with the align new objects to pixel grid turned on (not sure why it was on, I did not know or ever turn it on) and want to now scale the image. When I turned it off, I scale and it is still affecting the illustration.  So I copy and pasted it into a new document (Making sure that the option was turned of when I created the new document), and it is still affecting the illustration.  How can I scale this object without it being affected by this option? Stance on repost question instead of editing to invalidate answers? I am running Ubuntu 14.04 from Windows, using virtualbox 5.0. I tried several options to make size of Ubuntu in virtual box larger, but none helped so far.   I am using latest virtual box with latest guest add on installed. sudo apt-get install virtualbox-guest-dkms virtualbox-guest-utils virtualbox-guest-x11 I went to Ubuntu 'software and Updates' and made sure that under 'Additional Drivers' tab, 'using x86 visualization solution...' is active. In virtualbox window, under view->virtual screen 1, all 'resize to' options are disabled.   None of these options helped. This is frustrating. Any comments or help? Can the problem be I am using 64 bit system? Does this problem occurs in earlier/later versions? If not, please suggest a 'good' version of Ubuntu for virtualbox. What's wrong if I fit the auto-regression with OLS? I am doing auto-regress by usual linear regression package. e.g.  $y_t=φx+ε_t$ with $x =y_{t-1}$  My reason is that, Auto-regression does assumes iid errors, same for linear regression. Linear Regression doesn't have assumption on independent variables. What's different is merely that the independent variables is replaced with lagged dependent variable y.  But I see AR always is fitted by specific methods, I am afraid I'm doing wrong. Can you make a seismograph with an accelerometer? Actual seismograph electronics are very expensive. I'm just wondering if a seismograph can be made with a adequately semsitive accelerometer. To be exact I want to bury the accelerometer based seismograph and have it sense footsteps.  So is this possible and what method would you reccommend for my needs and why? Exclamation(!) turned in to question mark(?) in title field I just submitted a question () with an exclamation (!) at the end of the title (with one space between the word and the exclamation) but it turned in to question mark (?).   I removed the space between the word and the exclamation, then it shows normal.   Is this an intended feature? Reese's boyfriend seems to constantly be asleep. When I try and talk to him, she warns me that he's been hard at work all night, but I can't actually enter the shop at night.   Is there any way to talk to him or any benefit for doing so? I've tried to talk to him daily for a week (thinking it was something akin to talking to Sable) but I've had no luck. Trying to come in after-hours doesn't work. Is there a way to change the restrictions passcode on an iPhone without restoring the phone? I haven't forgotten the passocde; I just want to change it. If we disbelieve $H_0$, why quote a p value calculated assuming $H_0$ was true? Hypothesis testing seeks to reject a null hypothesis ($H_0$) on the basis of an assumption made about the sample following a certain distribution. This assumption is conditional on $H_0$ being true. So what is the flaw with the following reasoning?     If I reject $H_0$ in favor of the alternative hypothesis ($H_1$), I   must then assume that (1) $H_1$ is true, and (2) that at the   same time the variable under examination follows the distribution   used to reject $H_0$. Since we also stated that the assumed   distribution is conditional on $H_0$ being true, it appears that $H_0$   has got to be true in order to justify the assumption made about the   distribution. Logically, it would therefore seem that both $H_0$ and   $H_1$ have to be true, which is a paradox, because they are mutually   exclusive! How not to show Universal Access menu Icon in task bar in Ubuntu 18.04? In Star Trek TOS, we see the Defiant disappear to unknown parts  ('The Tholian Web'), and Star Trek: Enterprise revealed that the Defiant went back in time to the mirror universe ('In a Mirror Darkly', parts 1 &amp; 2).   Because of this, one might wonder why (in-universe) the mirror universe didn't obtain (and maintain) technological superiority over the main timeline. (Granted, the out of universe answer is that TOS depicted the two universes as having essentially the same level of tech)  So does any work (whether STO, or a pocket books work) address why the mirror universe didn't simply leap frog the main universe's technology?   (Or to put it another way, why did the mirror universe's technology appear to stagnate for a century after obtaining access to the Defiant's advanced technology?) Social Login adoption vs Traditional Login I have implemented  on my website. I am wondering how important it is to include a traditional login (email/password) system.  I believe there may be a significant percentage of potential users that are either uncomfortable or unfamiliar with social login. These users may not sign up for my site if social login is the only option.  Does anyone know of any data comparing social login vs traditional login and the corresponding adoption rate?  Is there a current best practice? Do I need to give the user an option to sign up using username/password? Or is facebook/google/openID/twitter/MS/Yahoo enough? How can I crack a 16 bit hash/CRC/checksum with a large sample set? Unexpected output of xargs The statement below should print afc abc but it prints abc abc instead. I tried many times but every time same result Don't know why this happens could anyone explain and help me?  echo abc|xargs -i{} echo $(echo {}|sed 's/b/f/g') {} When do we still need the table and figure environments when we don't want the enclosed objects to float? The LaTeX Wikibook :     Please understand: you do not have to use floating tables. It only   looks more professional. If you want to place your tables where they   lie in your source code, do not use table at all! This is a very   common misunderstanding among newcomers.   LaTeX works with an intricate , but I often prefer immediate placement with the H placement specifier (enabled by the float package).  My understanding is that captions and table/figure numbering require the table/figure environments. Is this really so, or are there ways around that? What other reasons are there for using table/figure if we know that we don't want a particular object to float? Deseasonalizing count data I used stl() in R to decompose count data into trend, seasonal &amp; irregular components. The resulting trend values are not integers anymore. I have the following questions:   Is stl() an appropriate way to deseasonalize count data? Since the resulting trend is not interger valued anymore, can I use lm() to model the trend components? Table with actions per row How can I use the "signature" function in Preview on Mac Mini with no camera? I have a Mac Mini with no attached camera. I would like to use the feature of Preview that allows you to insert a signature. This relies on taking an image of your signature using an isight/facetime/webcam. I do not have on.  I do have a MacBook pro on which I use the signature function. Is there a way to copy a file from the the MacBook Pro to the Mac Mini to enable this function on the Mini? Convert a string representation of a hex dump to a byte array using Java? I am looking for a way to convert a long string (from a dump), that represents hex values into a byte array.  I couldn't have phrased it better than the person that posted .  But to keep it original, I'll phrase it my own way: suppose I have a string "00A0BF" that I would like interpreted as the  byte[] {0x00,0xA0,0xBf}   what should I do?  I am a Java novice and ended up using BigInteger and watching out for leading hex zeros. But I think it is ugly and I am sure I am missing something simple.
