I installed the “Network Subsite User Registration” plugin which gives an extra menu point at each dashboard under Users>Registration>allowed There is, however, a glitch as wp-activate.php redirects to the main site in “signup-welcome” and “lead-in” sections that need to be commented out.

After all, I changed to “Profile Builder“, but it had its own problems, missing functions, large overhead, $$$ for extras and strange formatting instead of using the theme definitions.

Finally, I ended up with https://userswp.io , a lightweight user profile plugin that features front end user directory, a registration and a login form. The only modification here is another line in my child theme to suppress the WordPress admin bar.

#wpadminbar { display:none !important;}

In a recent paper (see page 122 ) I have read that an odds ratio OR of 0.7 means a 30% risk reduction which is wrong.

The OR is a measure of association not a risk ratio (which requires random sampling of the population and a slightly different formula).

Let’s have a look on the following table to see why this is all wrong

The odds of an event is the number of those who experience the event divided by the number of those who do not.

Comparing the odds in an exposed and a not exposed group results in the simple odds ratio OR formula.

OR = (a/b) / (c/d)

But the odds is not the risk. The risk (incidence proportion) of an event is the number who experience it divided by everyone in that group – those who do and those who do not.

Risk for the exposed is 42.7%, for the unexposed 50%.

RR = ( a/(a+b) / c/c+b) )

Note the denominators: for the odds it was b and d (only the disease-free), for the risk it is the whole row (a+b and c+d). That single change is the whole difference between the two measures.

The risk ratio is then RR= 0.82 and the risk reduction 18%.

I need to test if a ssl server is likely to respond before doing any forward as I would otherwise “loose” a projection screen.
As the server uses only a self-signed certificate, basically all javascript tricks (iframe on the fly, jsonp, …) failed either due to Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) rules. Even after switching to php the first two methods failed (get header, fsockets) while I finally ended with a simple curl request

$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'https://localhost:8443');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
$response = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
if (curl_error($ch)[0]=="") header('Location: https://localhost:8443');

Add NAS

sudo nano /etc/auto_master
#
# Automounter master map
#
+auto_master		# Use directory service
/net			-hosts		-nobrowse,hidefromfinder,nosuid
/home			auto_home	-nobrowse,hidefromfinder
/Network/Servers	-fstab
/-			-static
/mnt/NAS		auto_nas

Add mount point

sudo nano /etc/auto_nas
Lightroom -fstype=afp afp://username:password@bilder.local/Lightroom

Start

wakeonlan 00:11:32:xx:xx:xx
sleep 30
read -p "Press Enter to continue" </dev/tty
sudo automount -vc
exec sleep 1

Stop

diskutil unmount /mnt/NAS//Lightroom
ssh admin@bilder.local 'sudo shutdown -h now'
exec sleep 1

Stop without password entry

sshpass -p 'password' ssh admin@bilder.local sudo -S <<< 'password' shutdown -h now

This seems to happen for whatever reasons – the server file list is not in sync with the local file list and cannot even be modified manually. This may be a particular problem when you are at 1&1 /ionos with a hosted package. Here is a solution

$path = realpath(dirname(__FILE__));
#exec("php $path/console.php upgrade 2>&1", $out, $result);
exec("php $path/console.php files:scan --all -v 2>&1", $out, $result);
echo "<pre>result: " .$result .PHP_EOL;
print_r($out);

There is a wonderful description at stats.stackexchange.com how science should be taught

Imagine a big family dinner, where everybody starts asking you about PCA. First you explain it to your great-grandmother; then to you grandmother; then to your mother; then to your spouse; finally, to your daughter (who is a mathematician). Each time the next person is less of a layman. Here is how the conversation might go…

This science not by some older science journalists or some younger science slammers but a real expert.

Wenn ich hier die Grafik ansehe, sieht es aus, als hätte ich im Februar 1995 einen der ersten 10.000 Webserver installiert. Selbst 2000 konnte man das noch als Neuigkeit publizieren :-)

Just a few days before public deployment of my new website this error popped up in the terminal. Apache was running fine but my favorite php test server crashed after 5 minutes. Continue reading PHP Segmentation Error 11 →

Just found a plugin from Apple that allows Endnote citations in Pages. So Apple is also interested in the science industry :-)

Just in case you arrive here from Google by trying to reformat footnotes as endnotes. Your cursor needs to be on an existing footnote, only then the formatting menu appears top right.

After digging around in the console, I found some mixed content types – maybe the developers did not work on a https enabled site?
The only solution right now is the “Classic Editor” plugin.
