RC-Code if I have a generator matrix for a specific code how do I get the distance to the dual code?

$ \mathcal{R} \mathcal{S}_{6, 3}$ and $ a_{i} \in \mathbb{F}_{11}$

G=\begin{pmatrix}1&1&1 &1&1&1\ 0&1&2 &3&4&5\ 0&1^2&2^2 &3^2&4^2&5^2 \end{pmatrix}

G=\begin{pmatrix} 1&1&1 &1&1&1\0&1&2 &3&4&5\ 0&1&4 &9&5&3 \end{pmatrix}

I now have to determine the distance to the dual code.

Any clue how to accomplish this?

Thanks for any help.

Find WordPress sites hosted by specific hosting provider

I’m looking to potentially upgrade my WordPress hosting to improve performance. I’ve read through How to find web hosting that meets my requirements?. However, before moving my site to a new provider, I’d like to "test" the hosts’ performance prior to signing up.

I know that it’s possible to lookup who hosts a particular domain, but are there any tricks to doing this in reverse? I.e., is it possible to look up what domains are using WordPress hosted by a particular hosting provider?

GnuPG – connecting to specific card reader when multiple reader available

Currently I can use

$   gpg --card-status

to interact with smartcards that run the OpenPGP applet. Through trial-and-error, it seems that only the first card reader will interact with gpg. Using options that pass to scdaemon seem to be deprecated:

$   gpg --reader-port  1 --card-status gpg: WARNING: "--reader-port" is an obsolete option - it has no effect except on scdaemon

Is there a way to interact with an OpenPGP smartcard that is not connected to the first card reader?

Do racial features which grant advantage on specific ability/skill checks provide a benefit skill checks made with different abilities?

The rules for making skill checks are usually cut and dried. If a character is making a check to see if they can swim against a current, this would usually be a Strength (Athletics) check.

But the rules allow for unique circumstances to require skill checks with atypical abilities.

For example, if you have to swim from an offshore island to the mainland, your DM might call for a Constitution check to see if you have the stamina to make it that far. In this case, your DM might allow you to apply your proficiency in Athletics and ask for a Constitution (Athletics) check.

Certain races afford the character advantage on specific checks (most commonly Wisdom (Perception) checks that involve smell or vision).

I can imagine a situation where a DM might request an Intelligence (Perception) check to see if a character is able to identify which of two glasses of wine is poisoned or a Constitution (Perception) check to see if a character can keep their eyes on something flying very close to the sun without squinting.

In these atypical scenarios, does the creature’s racial benefit still give them advantage on the check in spite of the fact that the fundamental ability being used with their skill is not the one explicitly cited in the description of their racial feature?

Algorithm to get the number of iterations needed, if possible, to get an specific 2 element array

I am fairly new to algorithms and I am dealing with a problem I cannot fully translate into mathematical language.

So, I am given the array [1,1] and I can only perform one sum between their numbers per step. Thus,

0: [1,1] 1: [2,1], [1,2] 2: [3,1], [2,3], [3,2], [1,3] 3: [4,1], [3,4], [5,3], [2,5], [5,2], [3,5], [4,3], [1,4] ...and so on.

The goal is to know how many steps are needed in order to get a given [x,y] array.

This far, I know that

if (min(x,y)==1) --> steps =max(x,y)-1  if (x%2 ==0 and y%2==0) (both even) --> steps= not possible if (max(x,y)%min(x,y) == 0) (one is multiple of the other or x,y are the same ) --> steps= not possible if (x%3 ==0 and y%3==0) (both divisble by 3) --> steps= not possible

Also I plotted for each pair (x,y) how many steps are needed, and I can see a pattern happening for every multiple of x or y, but I can’t write it as a mathematical function when x or y is >= 5.

Any guidance will be much appreciated.

Steps needed per (x,y)

Understanding proofs Lemma 11 & 10 in this specific Computer Science Scheduling Paper

I’m having a hard time wrapping my head around the proofs Lemma 11 and Lemma 10 (Pages 10 and 11) in this paper called: Preemptive and Non-Preemptive Real-Time UniProcessor Scheduling.

Generally the proofs have very few steps in between and I can’t seem to understand how the author continues from one step to another. Therefore, I would be very gratefull in a more step by step detailed explanation of the proofs mentioned.

Thank you in advance!

What is the lowest-level spell combo to give disadvantage to an enemy’s specific save, without running into follow-up concentration issues?

What I’m trying to do is debuff an enemy’s stat so that I can hit them with a “save or suck” spell like dominate monster, and be more likely to succeed.

The problem is, I’m running into concentration issues because most spells that debuff a single stat like Bestow Curse use concentration, and thus I cant use them in conjunction: The moment I cast Dominate Monster, Bestow Curse is removed.

Hex also will not work because it only impacts ability checks, and not saves.

To clarify, I am a Warlock who wants to cast powerful disabling spells only when they have a high chance of success (so typically Wisdom has to be the weakened modifier). However, I am open to answers outside of that class, as well as any spell combos that specifically function as

  1. Weakening the the ability save for the second spell without utilizing concentration, and

  2. The second spell being a powerful, one-save spell of concentration.

What spells would be the best for this kind of combo, given that only I can cast the spells?

make modification of add_to_cart button specific to single page

I am using woocomemrce for the ecommerce part of my wordpress site.

When using the add_to_cart button i want it to say “read more” on a specific webpage only. So far i have found the code to change the button text: 

add_filter('woocommerce_product_single_add_to_cart_text', 'woo_custom_cart_button_text');  function woo_custom_cart_button_text() { return__('Read More','woocommerce'); }

The question is, how do I make this apply to the appearance of the add_to_cart button on a single page of my website? The page is not a shop page. It is a normal webpage where is have description of products and the associated treatment. The button is there to take them to the product page.

Thank you
