I've been having an ongoing debate with various developers in my office on the cost of an index, and whether or not uniqueness is beneficial or costly (probably both). The crux of the issue is our competing resources. Background I have previously read a discussion that stated a Unique index is...

I've been watching triathlon videos lately and I couldn't help but notice that, with the exception of Ironman Competitions, only road bikes and not time trial bikes are being used. Is there any reason for that?

I may be starting a new position soon, and one thing I've wondered about is whether or not I will be able to keep my standing desk.

I'm just getting into FPGA's, and if I understand correctly, you are connecting logic gates together using code. So if I design a CPU in Verilog, it should connect some logic gates together and work, but how do I know how fast my DIY CPU can run? What does it depend on?

I just had my credit card canceled because of fraud. This is actually a perfectly normal occurrence for me, which is the impetus behind this question. The card in question was only about 1.5 years old, because that is how long it has been since my card was last stolen. Over the past decade I wo...

The 9th level spell "foresight" says that the spell immediately ends if you cast it on another target before the duration is up.

I have a datasheet that calls for "a 15 pF capacitor with Self-Resonant Frequency in the 1800/1900 MHz range". It then recommends a capacitor (Murata GRM1555C1H150J) that (so far as I can tell) from the datasheet doesn't specify it's SRF. I'd like to use a different, slightly larger SMT capacit...

I feel like this should be self-explanatory, but I'm not quite sure how it works. Is it essentially a secondary DC that is 5 less than the initial DC? I can not seem to find an example of it anywhere, so one would be appreciated.

I've been working on a story for the last 4 years. It's just a personal project now and I've gone really in depth to clean up any plot holes I can readily see (thanks Cinemasins).

The reason I ask is this: Suppose you draw a large sample from normally distributed population. And just by chance all samples have exactly the same value--not very likely but not impossible either. The sample mean is of course the identical value of each sample drawn. But the sample variance...

I'm currently trying to implement an ECS system, but I've sort of ran into a problem trying to fetch all of my entities that have a specific set of components.

If a company runs a service as "one who arranges, holds, and executes planned events", what's the term of it?

Leomund's tiny hut can protect against magic, objects, and creatures from entering. A dragon's breath weapon is not considered magical, but has to be an object at least - which should be blocked by the hut. Sage Advice, however, rules that a dragon's breath can pass through the hut. I typically...

What powers the air required for pneumatic brakes in large airliner aircraft? Is it bled from the engines, or do they have a separate motor and pump?

This was read pre-1994 (most likely pre 1990). I do not know if it was old or new. It was a novel but most likely under 60,000 words -- so probably read by 7th, 8th or 9th graders. It felt like a quick read. It is possible that I could be mixing a few different stories today, but... I specific...

This is a book that is probably more than 20 years old. It would be pre-2000 (most likely). It has diamond in the title (I believe). I also think of the word satellite or space station. It has two political groups that are against each other or at least at odds with each other. There is an arr...

I would like to understand the topological type of a link of a singularity in a simple example. Consider for instance the cone ${xy-z^2=0}\subset\mathbb{C}^3$. If we set $x = x_1+ix_2, y = y_1+iy_2, z = z_1+iz_2$ then this corresponds to the $4$-dimensional real subvariety of $\mathbb{R}^6$ given...
