During a solar eclipse the moon covers the sun on some places on the Earth. Now the focal point is a bit above the Earth so the shadow area is about 160 miles. In history the moon was a bit closer to the Earth but could there have been a time that the shadow area was just a dot. (probably for ju...

When I use find /home/user/parentdir -type d -empty -delete it looks recursively for empty subfolders inside /home/user/parentdir and deletes. But if /home/user/parentdir is also empty, it deletes the parent folder, which is undesirable for me. I keep this parentdir to rsync some files to bac...

Why does the ODE $$ \theta^{\prime} = (1-\theta^2)^{3/2}, \quad \theta(0) = 0, $$ have the two (different) solutions $$\theta_1(t) = \frac{t}{\sqrt{1+t^{2}}}, \quad \theta_2(t) = \frac{-t}{\sqrt{1+t^{2}}}, $$ for $t \in (-\delta, \delta)$, whereby $0<\delta <1$? How is this possible, since t...

I just started studying "Analysis" and it appears one of the first topics all textbooks goes through, is making the reader understand that there are "gaps" in Q. Therefore, we need numbers that are irrational to fill in the gaps. And those numbers are ones that we can't express in $\frac{p}{q}$ w...

Let $X$ be a smooth irreducible subvariety of an algebraic group over a field, assume $X$ is invariant under $n$-th power map for every integer $n$ ($n=0$ means the identity element is in $X$). Must $X$ be a subgroup? The motivation for this question is the intuition that if a cone in a linear s...

Let $G = (X+Y, E)$ be a bipartite graph, and suppose we want to find a maximum-cardinality matching in $G$. The Hopcroft-Karp algorithm runs in time $O(|E|\sqrt{|V|})$, where here $|V| = |X|+|Y|$. So if the graph is unbalanced and $|X|<|Y|$, the run-time is $O(|E|\sqrt{|Y|})$. Is there an algori...

In the worst case, Boolean satisfiability (assuming P!=NP) takes exponential time. Nonetheless, modern SAT solvers using variants of DPLL, are able to solve enough instances to be useful in practice.

I am curious, is there a good way to search all columns for a given value? For my purposes, it doesn't need to be at all fast, it's just a 1-off kinda thing, and I don't really want to have to type out every field name. That's precisely what I'll be doing for now, but I think surely there's a bet...

My spouse and I like to sleep with rice bags in the winter, which we microwave to heat up. To avoid having to go back down to the kitchen, we’re considering adding an outlet in our closet and plugging in a microwave on top of some wiring shelving. Is there any reason this is not a good idea / d...

In the US Democratic party presidential primary elections debate a few days ago, candidate Andrew Yang announced his campaign will conduct a 1-year experiment with Universal Basic Income - by paying USD 1000 to 10 families for a year. He encouraged people to sign up for this on his website, which...

I am working as a night delivery driver and when its dark and/or rainy it's almost impossible to read many of the house numbers/names I am looking for. I've heard of Maglite and in fact my friend has a large Maglite which is 680lm and very powerful but it cost him a fair bit and uses huge batter...

I've been having an terrible experience when ever I'm descending to Barcelona. My ears would clog so bad that it would even hurt for a couple of seconds. That it self doesn't cause a problem. The thing that irritates me is that it takes a couple of days to regain my original hearing level, which ...

I can think of several said with proper intentions - for instance, Miriam (Bamidbar ch. 12) wasn’t trying to harm Moshe with her speech; likewise those who told Gedaliah that he was to be killed by Yishmael (Yirmiya 40:14) were trying to save him. Are there any instances in Tanach of people who...

Carroll writes in his Spacetime and Geometry book on page 68 that "[...] in fact, however, we could just as well have begun with an intrinsic definition of one-forms and used that to define vectors as the dual space. Roughly speaking, the space of one-forms at $p$ is equivalent to the space o...

I am closing on a home in the next few weeks. Is there a period of time AFTER closing I should wait before I look for a new job? Is there any process post closing I need to wait for? I assume I would want everything to go through at the bank before changing employment. Thanks!

I am a new DM with one session under my belt and am planning to run the campaign as a "West Marches" D&D 5e campaign. One of my players requested I have some social encounters next time and I am wondering how to have these in a WM game, especially as it progresses and players spend more time away...

I was thinking about casting mage hand while hidden to do things like, for example, pulling a lever behind a guard's back. But if I'm not an Arcane Trickster, the hand is visible and the question is, does it have any kind of “spectral” connection to me as its caster? The spell doesn’t say anythi...

I am writing a Steanpunk novel and am interested in having a "plausible" Union Steam Gun that would help turn the tide in an Alternate History American Civil War. The gun can be either a machine gun type weapon that is operated by two or more soldiers or a hand held carbine or type weapon handed...

Context I work at a mid-sized company, where everything is proprietary. As with all software companies we use distributed version control, meaning all employees have all the code on their computer at any time. Recently the team lead for our mobile product hired a poorly performing junior dev. ...

How would a story flow if I made the secondary characters solely for the purpose of showing the reader how the main character has grown though the years? I'm thinking a 10 year span right now. They would serve as "learning tools" if you will, shaping the character into the man he will be when the...

I've been learning Python for about 1 - 1 1/2 weeks now and just finished my first small project to help solidify what I've learnt. It's a very basic (bad) login / create account system that I run in PowerShell but just wanted someone feedback and thoughts as to how I'm getting on in regards to ...

I was on-board an afternoon flight from the EU, into the United States earlier last month. This flight was delayed by about 3 hours, 30 minutes. As this flight was delayed for over 3 hours, without any explanation provided to me, I contacted the Airline seeking compensation under EC Regulat...

Find the minimum number of lines to draw 111 squares. For example you can draw a single square using 4 lines i.e 2 vertical and 2 horizontal. Similar, you can draw a 2 square grid using 5 lines, and so on. The solution totally depends on how you smartly draw lines because the same number of squ...

I have lately noticed, at both ends of a recent thousand-mile relocation within the USA, that people are increasingly using the verb “do” in ordering food, in place of that “have” which various sites still model or enjoin for English language learners—as in (to a waiter) “I’ll do a Cobb salad.” W...

In Deathly Hallows: “I think you’re right,” she told him. “It’s just a morality tale, it’s obvious which gift is best, which one you’d choose —” The three of them spoke at the same time; Hermione said, “the Cloak,” Ron said, “the wand,” and Harry said, “the stone.” It's obvious why...

I want to decompose one list into sublists (each sublist is given by certain lengh and the sum of every sublist is given by the maximun number in lists). For example: lists={0,1,2,3,4} all the sublists: {{0, 0, 4}, {0, 1, 3}, {0, 2, 2}, {0, 3, 1}, {0, 4, 0}, {1, 0, 3}, {1, 1, 2}, {1, 2, ...
