Setup SSH Key to connect to server securely

Step 1: Generate keys in your local computer
ssh-keygen -t rsa

Step 2: Copy your public key (which you have just generated in the previous step) to the server you want to connect to
cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub | ssh username@server.example "mkdir -p ~/.ssh && chmod 700 ~/.ssh && cat >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys"

Done!
Now you can login to the server from your computer through SSH Keys (no need to enter password each time)

Optional (for server administrators): disable ROOT login through password for security once you have setup logging in with SSH keys successfully.

Random variables

A random variable is a mapping from a sample space to real numbers $\Omega \rightarrow \mathrm{R}$ At a certain point in most probability courses, we don't see the sample space, but it's always there, lurking in the background. For example: Let $\Omega = \{(x,y); x^2 + y^2 \leq 1\}$ be the unit disc. Consider drawing a point "at random" from $\Omega$. Outcome: $\omega = (x,y)$. Examples of random variables: $X(\omega) = x$, $X(\omega) = y$, $Z(\omega) = x + y$

SAXParser: too many exceptions for invalid XML character..

I'm working on my Similarity Search project, in which I have to implement the Tree Edit Distance and Traversal String Edit Distance. Trees are all represented in XML format and I'm using SAXParser to parse those XML files in java. I've used it a lot of times before but still, I don't quite like. So my first step is to create a valid XML database. However, "valid" to be parsed using SAXParser is complicated!! Here is what I get again and again: File Read Error: org.xml.sax.SAXParseException : The content of elements must consist of well-formed character data or markup. org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: The content of elements must consist of well-formed character data or markup. The reasons can be different, like: - Tags cannot contain number (e.g., is an invalid tag) - Tags cannot contain some symbols, like {, ., ?, etc. ("_" or "-" is fine) - Tags cannot be empty However, in my database, all of the tag are numbers.. To make it a valid XML fi...
