Is there a difference in meaning between the preterite buk, from backen, and backte? If so what is it? Thanks

I cannot read Hebrew and am struggling a great deal to understand Yeshayahu 43:10/43:13. In my English versions, these verse-parts seem very much to suggest that HaShem was Himself ‘formed’ at some point in time. My NIV, for example, has ‘Before Me no god was formed, nor will there be one after M...

In the book Real World Haskell, there's a non-programming-related puzzle in a footnote at the bottom of page 15, in the middle of a simple text-processing problem: ... Find or create a text file; let's call it quux.txt:* $ cat quux.txt Teignmouth, England Paris, France Ulm, Germany Auxe...

I'm having trouble finding how to say "I only speak one which is English." in the following context. Person 1: Which languages do you speak? Person 2: I only speak one which is English. So far I have: Personne 1: Quelles langues parles-tu ? Personne 2: Je ne parle qu'un qui est l'anglais. ...

All of the top five answers to The Martian: Does it really take a supercomputer to calculate spaceflight maneuvers? are essentially "no, orbital mechanics isn't rocket science". Okay I have used some artistic license there, but these days even laptops do gigaflops, and that's not even counting th...

Let’s say fn(x) is a pure function that does something expensive, like returning a list of the prime factors of x. And let’s say we make a memoized version of the same function called memoizedFn(x). It always returns the same result for a given input, but it maintains a private cache of previous...

I am trying to use the Bevel-Object field in the curve object. However the bevelled curve does not match the referenced curve in the X and Y direction (they do match in the Z direction). The scales of both curve objects are at 1.00 for all axis. I think the problem might have something to do w...

I have a virtual disk image file os9000-xibase.img and Windows can't read it nor mount it. With ImDisk Virtual Disk, I'm able to mount it, but not read it, because it is a Random Block File-system disk-image of 'Microware os-9 (which is now maintained by Radisys)'. I was wondering if there was ...

This is a three-dimensional cryptic crossword. The eleven squares above represent the layers of a $11\times11\times11$ cube. Across 21. Tribunal's way to imprison you in the old days (10) 25. Sir Isaac, among others, finishing solution of constant viscosity (9) 27. Refusing to...

Can you think of any domain of application, other than 2D images, where it could make sense to use max pooling or convolution? Because the ONNX format allows for non 2D inputs. On the operators page (https://github.com/onnx/onnx/blob/master/docs/Operators.md#MaxPool) they say dimensions for ...

I just read about how miners have to change the nonce bit in order to find an hash below a certain result. Granted each miner process it the same way, incrementally, adding 1 and hashing, adding one and hashing, what prevents the most powerful computer on the network to snatch all rewards? I fe...

We live in a new build home. My husband hung some Ikea shoe bins on the wall and mounted them in to the studs. I am going to paint the hallway and would like to remove the bins and hooks, patch the holes and have an even coat of paint from floor to ceiling. It is also worth nothing that I would...

I learned that the word "dyadic", a word opposed to monadic, is written with a y. My etymology sources indicates it comes from "Dyad", which means "pair", "couple", "double". However, every other word I know with a "di-" prefix meaning "two" is written with an i. (Dioxyde, division, digram, ... ...

I eventually used a trial and error method to solve it: Assume B1 = 2 C2 and F1 = 4 C3 = 2 F3 = 6 There are no candidates left for A3 This let me set B1 = 4 and hence solve the puzzle. But is there a generic method I could have applied here to solve this?

I turned 37 this summer, and started ridding quite a lot (about 3500km in a little less than a year). When buying my carbon bike, and then aluminium commuter, I was careful to set the saddle height using the same method: putting the heel on the pedal and stretching the leg. That way, my pedal str...

I am trying to find the number or some other identity of a Technic set I remember owning as a child (so it was probably bought in the 1985-1995 year range, more likely in the 80's half of it). Among lots of other (mainly yellow) bricks, it included a large yellow motor. By my recolleciton, the mo...

I understand DC power more than AC power. I know that given multiple DC power generators, easiest way to sum them is by connecting them in series. In paralel you'd need every generator circuit to protect itself from reverse current coming from other generators. But I'm currently learning about ...

I perform very poorly on coding interviews, I believe many people underperform in those interviews, but I feel like I am showing like 20% of what I got. In my last interview, the question was so simple that, I thought there must be a mistake, or tricky point, and spent a good 10 minutes for a que...

Is there a python function that sets ortho view such that X and Y axes are visible - the equivalent of numpad 7? Thanks in advance!

I would like to understand why do I need to add the selbst to the word sich in this sentence: Ergänzen Sie den Steckbrief und schreiben Sie einen Text über sich selbst. In my mind it would be enough to finish this sentence with only ...einen Text über sich. I need examples that suppo...

The intersection of horizontal clines and vertical lines in tables look weird. Here is a MWE: \documentclass[11pt,oneside]{article} %\usepackage{array} \begin{document} \begin{table} \centering \begin{tabular}{c|c|c|c} \cline{2-3} a&b&c&d\\ \cline{2-3} \end{tabular} \end{table} \end{documen...

I've been reading EIA report and this plot captured my attention. I now want to be able to create the same type of plot. It shows the energy productivity evolution between two years (1990-2015) and adds the change value between this two periods. What is the name of this type of plot? How can ...

I have been reading about NativeArray, but I have to admit I do not understand it. From the documentation: A NativeArray exposes a buffer of native memory to managed code, making it possible to share data between managed and native without marshalling costs. I have to admit I do not under...

I'm a PhD student in a math department at a research university in the US. When I started the program I was given an account on the department server with a website and a nice department email address. Now I've found out that the department (or the university?) is doing away with the server and i...

I am looking at the paper Covering homotopy properties of maps between CW complexes or ANRs by Mark Steinberger and James West and a claim is made in the proof of their first main theorem that (slightly rephrased) since $U$ is a contractible subspace of the CW complex $B$, $U$ "is"...

I wasn't sure whether to post this on StackOverflow or here, but since the pros in MuseScore should be on this platform, here it goes: I have a custom build system to create a pdf songbook using LaTeX and I want to include tablature there. I parse ASCII tablatures myself and just need to render ...

I tried both options in Photoshop. Both created their own layers. When double clicked them, both opened the original PDF file in my PDF reader. So what's the difference between them and is their any specific use of each of them?

Are there any 'bright lines' that prevent an administration (not just the current administration, but future administrations as well) from regularly resorting to the national security argument when it can not find congressional support for its foreign policy initiatives?

My passport book and card are expiring in 6 months, and I'd like to renew them, but I have a couple (land-entry) trips to Canada coming up that I'd like to use my passport card for. Is it permissible to renew my passport book separately from the passport card? The official website is unclear: ...
