Right now I have Chrome set up in Desktop 1, Terminal in Desktop 2, and Spotify in Desktop 3.  If I command+tab to Spotify, it changes the order of the desktops, so now Desktop 3 is Desktop 2 and Desktop 2 is Desktop 3.  This is frustrating because I expected them to stay put.  What I would like to have happen when I command+tab to Spotify is have it go to Desktop 3 and not reorder the Desktops.
You may have encountered a situation in which Mac changes the order of desktops based on some events like alerts on a program or a web page in browser. How could I disable this logical change? Note: I'm using El Capitan, but I had this problem since Mavericks.
There are many (duplicate) questions about the acceptance, popularity and history of singular they (and their, them and themself) around here, it even got a tag of its own. If I didn’t miss anything, however, the proper verb form hasn’t been questioned yet.  As we all know, English third person singular pronouns (it, she, he and one, +body), names (Alice, Bob, …) and nouns (student, teacher, …) demand the +(e)s suffix be added to the finite verb form in simple present, where some auxiliary verbs have a “special” form (is &lt; *bes / *ares and has &lt; *haves). All other subjects don’t, including plural third person pronoun they.  When the plural you replaced thou (with thee, thy / thine), the other marked verb form that had remained in English – i.e. suffix +(e)st or +t – vanished, too. The first and second persons only ever appear as pronouns (I, we; you), not names or nouns, so there was no strong inclination to keep the verbal inflection.  The second person precedent would suggest that singular they be used with uninflected verb forms which is how it’s usually encountered in the wild. Assuming that they someday replaces he and she (and maybe it) it would lead to disagreement with the words the pronoun stands in for:        Alice         goes to her   place  by herself.   Bob           goes to his   place  by himself.   Alice and Bob go   to their place  by themselves. – (common)   Alice and Bob go   to their places by themselves. – (separate)                  She  goes to her   place  by herself.   He   goes to his   place  by himself.   They go   to their place  by themselves.   They go   to their places by themselves.                  They ?goes to their place  by themself.   ditto   They  go   to their place  by themselves.   They  go   to their places by themselves.                  They ?go to their place  by ?themselves.   ditto   They  go to their place  by  themselves.   They  go to their places by  themselves.      So why doesn’t singular they afford s on present-tense verbs like all other third person singular subjects do?   I learned about singular they only long after I had been taught English as a second language in school. That’s why it’s still a conscious decision to use it and hence I could easily adapt to use s forms with it, but would that sound and look funny / strange / wrong to native speakers? I want to loop over the contents of a text file and do a search and replace on some lines and write the result back to the file. I could first load the whole file in memory and then write it back, but that probably is not the best way to do it.  What is the best way to do this, within the following code?  f = open(file) for line in f:     if line.contains('foo'):         newline = line.replace('foo', 'bar')         # how to write this newline back to the file Smoke shows on render, Fire doesn't Good day! I am having a problem wherein fire does not render. I followed a . Followed everything in his tutorial. However, the fire in my scene does not render at all. I wanted it to look like rocket thrusters. As of now, this is what I currently have for my Smoke Domain material.  I temporarily set the smoke to 0 because it may be blocking the flame. I've provided the screenshots where the smoke is enabled and disabled. (Forgive the quality of the rendered images, I lowered down the samples to quickly render the image.  And for my scene, this is what it looks like.  I am rendering it using GPU compute. If there's anything missing in the  current scene setup, just ask for it and i'll provide the necessary requirements. I tried searching for solutions but nothing worked out for me. Thank you and have a nice day! Stack Exchange's heavy reliance on external scripts Idiom or expression criticizing people who ignore you right after getting what they wanted/ were after How it this possible? Even if the gif is fake, the Mythbusters did it and with a large sail it really moves forward. What is the explanation? In FreeBSD and also in Linux, how can I get the numerical chmod value of a file? For example, 644 instead of -rw-r--r--? I need an automatic way for a Bash script. I know how to use the subfig package to fit many subfigures (each with its own caption) into a larger figure (with a general caption).  I know how to use the sidecap package, the put a figure's caption on the side of the figure.  What I do not know is how to display a caption inside the figure, as if it were a subfigure.  More precisely, I have three subfigures that I would like to fit on a 2x2 layout, with the remaining quadrant used for the caption.    Is that easy to achieve? In Inkscape when I apply a dash stroke, then set a mid marker shape, it does not show anything. A student prepares for an exam by studying a list of 12 problems. She can solve 9 of them. For the exam, the instructor selects 7 problems at random from the 12 on the list given to the students. What is the probability that the student can solve 5 of the 7 problems on the exam?  I am really confused by this problem. My first initial thought was to do:  (5 chose 7)(7 chose 0)/ (12 chose 7)  I am not 100% sure about this though. Theorem style with name as argument Is there some way to get a theorem type which will make a theorem with the name passed as a parameter? In other words, is there a way to define "named" such that   \begin{named}[NAME] text \end{named}   will print   "NAME: text"?  I tried using the definition \newtheorem*{named}{}, but that results in   "(NAME): text", which is quite different from what I am trying to do.  I know that I could also create a new instance of \newtheorem for each named theorem I want to use, but that is clunky and inconvenient. Is there a better way? Preserving signatures of decorated functions Suppose I have written a decorator that does something very generic. For example, it might convert all arguments to a specific type, perform logging, implement memoization, etc.  Here is an example:  def args_as_ints(f):     def g(*args, **kwargs):         args = [int(x) for x in args]         kwargs = dict((k, int(v)) for k, v in kwargs.items())         return f(*args, **kwargs)     return g  @args_as_ints def funny_function(x, y, z=3):     """Computes x*y + 2*z"""     return x*y + 2*z  &gt;&gt;&gt; funny_function("3", 4.0, z="5") 22   Everything well so far. There is one problem, however. The decorated function does not retain the documentation of the original function:  &gt;&gt;&gt; help(funny_function) Help on function g in module __main__:  g(*args, **kwargs)   Fortunately, there is a workaround:  def args_as_ints(f):     def g(*args, **kwargs):         args = [int(x) for x in args]         kwargs = dict((k, int(v)) for k, v in kwargs.items())         return f(*args, **kwargs)     g.__name__ = f.__name__     g.__doc__ = f.__doc__     return g  @args_as_ints def funny_function(x, y, z=3):     """Computes x*y + 2*z"""     return x*y + 2*z   This time, the function name and documentation are correct:  &gt;&gt;&gt; help(funny_function) Help on function funny_function in module __main__:  funny_function(*args, **kwargs)     Computes x*y + 2*z   But there is still a problem: the function signature is wrong. The information "*args, **kwargs" is next to useless.  What to do? I can think of two simple but flawed workarounds:  1 -- Include the correct signature in the docstring:  def funny_function(x, y, z=3):     """funny_function(x, y, z=3) -- computes x*y + 2*z"""     return x*y + 2*z   This is bad because of the duplication. The signature will still not be shown properly in automatically generated documentation. It's easy to update the function and forget about changing the docstring, or to make a typo. [And yes, I'm aware of the fact that the docstring already duplicates the function body. Please ignore this; funny_function is just a random example.]  2 -- Not use a decorator, or use a special-purpose decorator for every specific signature:  def funny_functions_decorator(f):     def g(x, y, z=3):         return f(int(x), int(y), z=int(z))     g.__name__ = f.__name__     g.__doc__ = f.__doc__     return g   This works fine for a set of functions that have identical signature, but it's useless in general. As I said in the beginning, I want to be able to use decorators entirely generically.  I'm looking for a solution that is fully general, and automatic.  So the question is: is there a way to edit the decorated function signature after it has been created?  Otherwise, can I write a decorator that extracts the function signature and uses that information instead of "*kwargs, **kwargs" when constructing the decorated function? How do I extract that information? How should I construct the decorated function -- with exec?  Any other approaches? How to get a list of appendices? How to get a list of appendices like the list of figures and list of tables? How to set it on a separate page, like the list of figures and list of tables? What is the difference between the displace socket and a bump map? Aside from the fact that you can control the bump mapping per shader with a bump node, are there any differences between these materials?      As far  as I can tell, they are the same. Is the displacement socket just a convenience thing? Is there a performance advantage? Is it possible to play FIFA 2015, 4v4 on 2 Consoles? I've the following situation: My friends and I, we're 8 in total, want to play Fifa 15 4v4. I know that the Playstation 4 just supports 4 controllers and thats why we think about a 2 console + 2 TV's setup, so 4 players per console.   So my question is: Is it possible or is there a game mode available were we could play such a setup?  Update: After I got the first answer I've to add that I know that the only way to play on 2 consoles would be through the psn online features. So we did not plan to play on Lan. We just want to sit in the same room with 2 consoles and play against each other over psn. New Graphics Card Preventing Boot Up What is "offset null" in IC 741? What is Offset null in 1st and 5th pin in IC 741 (Op-Amp)? Why it is used, though it is not used in many circuits? Give me explanation regarding the offset null! Why offset voltage was formed in IC 741? Does a photon in vacuum have a rest frame? Quite a few of the questions given on this site mention a photon in vacuum having a rest frame such as it having a zero mass in its rest frame. I find this contradictory since photons must travel at the speed of light in all frames according to special relativity.  Does a photon in vacuum have a rest frame? Is there a particular reason why vote times are omitted in the data dump?  IMO this could be a very useful data-set. Is this one of the steps that was done to anonymize the data, or does it simply not exist? This would be a very good addition to future dumps to help build time-based relationships, which are currently very rigid and full of assumptions.
