Inspired by the accepted answer to "Is there a logic behind the naming of the Rebel Alliance's starfighters?" I want to know in universe why the Rebel Alliance fighter names are based on Latin alphabet characters, and not, for example Aurebesh (one of the more common in-universe alphabets). From...

First, apologies if I'm asking this the wrong way. Am attempting to open an old device cover (an adapter) and it has these screws (pls see attached image, sorry for the bad quality, I couldn't get better focus than this.) Would really appreciate if someone could guide me identify it and/or poin...

Standard Haskell is lazily evaluated, so if myCondition then someValue else doSomeLargeComputation x y z will avoid evaluating doSomeLargeComputation x y z if myCondition is true. My question is, if I enable the language extension XStrict then will doSomeLargeComputation x y z now be evaluated ev...

What is the difference between 2/4 and 4/4 when it comes the accented beats? I have been taught that 2/4 is popular in faster music like polka. I also see some hymns written in both 4/4 and 2/4. 4/4 is strong-weak-less strong-weak. 2/4 would probably strong-weak or a bar divided into eight notes...

How do I delete this pesky dmg? I never asked for it and never uploaded or downloaded it. When I try to "Empty Trash" it is much to clever and says "it is in use."

The setting I'm interested in would involve a cold planet (cold enough for most bodies of water to be frozen - I'm thinking of an average global temperature of -20C or below). The simplest way would have to have the planet far away from its star. However I'd rather not deal with the low-light asp...

How do you say 3 ↑↑↑ 3? English is my second language and I'm not sure how I should read it.

One of the advantages of cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin that is often repeated is how hard it should be to manipulate past transactions. The reason that is often stated is that you would have to re-calculate all the headers with all the hash values of the whole chain which is practically un-doable...

As I've contemplated the future over the past year, I have returned over and over again to the idea of becoming a doctor -- specifically, a neurosurgeon. However, I recognize that as a 28 year old Physics BS who would need to take a year of postbac courses before even applying to medical school, ...

Rust has 128-bit integers, denoted with the datatype i128 (and u128 for unsigned ints): let a: i128 = 170141183460469231731687303715884105727; How does Rust make these i128 values work on a 64-bit OS? How does it do arithmetic on these? Since, as far as I know, the value cannot fit in one regi...

On the account of Jesus' encounter with Nathanael, this is written: Joh 1:47  Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward him and said of him, “Behold, an Israelite indeed, in whom there is no deceit!” (ESV) Εἴδεν ὁ Ἰησοῦς τὸν Ναθαναὴλ ἐρχόμενον πρὸς αὐτόν, καὶ λέγει περὶ αὐτοῦ, Ἴδε ἀληθῶς Ἰσραηλί...

I haven't read the comics, only seen some Spider-Man movies and The Animated Series, so I wonder if that ever happened.

In the final paragraph of Otiluke's freezing sphere it states: You can refrain from firing the globe after completing the spell, if you wish. A small globe about the size of a sling stone, cool to the touch, appears in your hand. At any time, you or a creature you give the globe to can throw ...

I've seen people mention how eggs shouldn't become white after they are dropped in the pan.This keeps happening to me even though I use the "water test" and my eggs keep sticking to the pan (I add oil after the pan heats enough).The eggs are already brown around the edges while the top is still l...

In one of Heinlein’s stories, a character awakes after having been in suspended animation for many years and catches up on what he’s missed by spending a few hours reading a history book, then remarks on how much time he would have wasted had he read a newspaper every day for all that time, readi...

Let's say we have the following: p is prime n > 1 (n is an integer) p = nq (I.e. p is a multiple of n) It can be proved that p = n. I've seen that Mathematica has some basic theorem proving capabilities (see the theorem-proving tag) via functions like Reduce. Can Mathematica prove the abov...

Distances in our world (classically at least) can be defined by considering our world to be a model for the Euclidean normed three dimensional space. But how can we set the notion of time on a firm footing? What are the first principles here? Because almost everywhere in physics, we want to see ...

Otiluke's Freezing Sphere has an interesting "delayed blast" feature, which involves creating and handling a physical globe containing the spell's energy: You can refrain from firing the globe after completing the spell, if you wish. A small globe about the size of a sling stone, cool to the ...

In the following picture, XY = YZ. The angle a = 40 degrees, and the length opposite is 5. The problem asks to compute XY We immediately dropped the dotted perpendicular and get two right triangles. The length of the bottom is 2.5 in each right triangle, and therefore $a/2 = 20^\circ$ $\sin...

This style of drawing always fascinates me but I can't find what this category is. Here is another example from Eric Mahler: And another one from Tom Gauld: Line Drawing doesn't quite fit. Is there a better name for this common style?

In Star Wars, there's some shots where Jedi deflect lasers with their lightsabers. I know there's a law that says you can't go faster then the speed of light and lasers are light, so what is the smallest change in physics to make it so that you can deflect the lasers? This is challenging because ...

She took a factory job working from sun-down to sun-up. (Source : Drifting ) I think sun-down expression seems to have been made from "the sun is down", but what I want to know is what is the rule that I can make such an expression. For example, if I want to express the time when the moon i...

Suppose, a Rogue with Use Magic Device wants to attack an Undead, perhaps an Incorporeal one. They can use a Wand of Cure Light Wounds for that since it does require an attack roll. The Rogue somehow gets their Sneak Attack: the Undead is flat-footed, flanked, or something like that. Now, the s...

Let $G$ be a finite abelian group. Suppose $G\approx \mathbb{Z}/p_1^{i_1}\mathbb{Z}\times\dots \mathbb{Z}/p_m^{i_m}\mathbb{Z}$. Is it true that there is an injective homomorphism $G\rightarrow S_n$ if and only if $p_1^{i_1}+\dots+p_m^{i_m}\leq n$?

What is it mean by the statement "X and Y explained a greater proportion of variance in Z than X alone " More generally, what is it meant when the model "explains more variation" in the dependent variable -- certainly this is not equivalent to "this explains the variable" more? Thank you for ...

I’m a little confused about the sorcery point system, mainly where I keep track of them on my character sheet. Should I keep track in the “attacks and spellcasting” box, or is there somewhere else I should put them in particular?

Below is a list of ten countries, with one missing. Find one attribute (for example, the population) of each country, so that if you take the first number or first letter of each country’s attribute, in the order shown, it forms a familiar ten-character number, word or phrase.

In Star Wars (again), one of the most recurring characters is R2-D2. Even though he's in most of the movies, I (personally) have never seen him charging. I've seen him do a lot of power consuming activities, like shocking baddies, but I've never seen him charge. What kind of battery (existing or ...

One reason I prefer classical western dragons over wyverns is that they aren't totally handicaped on the ground. However, those forelegs are only supposed to be for better locomotion on ground and lack the power to be directly used in combat. Wings, on the other hand have much more muscle behind...

$y[n]=T{x[n]}=\displaystyle\sum_{k=n-n_{0}}^{n+n_{0}} x[k]$ it is some sort of moving summer which computes $n^{\text{th}}$ output sample by adding all samples lying within length $n_{0}$ around some point $n$ on $k$ -axis (where k is dummy variable) so even if we shift input by amount $n_{0}$ t...

I talked to a critique partner not too long ago about an angel in my book. I said, he was a subversive character, in the way that he wasn't 100 % pure and good, like angels in theory are supposed to be.

The first deck...

How to prove that vectors are parallel iff their unit vectors are equal? $$\mathbf{u} \parallel \mathbf{v} \iff \hat{\mathbf{u}} = \hat{\mathbf{v}}$$ A vector can be written as a scalar multiple of its magnitude and unit vector in its direction: $\mathbf{u}=\|\mathbf{u}\| \hat{\mathbf{u}}$. Int...

Back in the 1970s my father self-published a newsletter, and I'm trying to figure out what the printing process was that he used. He laid everything out by hand (of course) and then there was a step that looks like a photographic negative and another step (not sure which came first) on a metalli...

When taking the Short-Time Fourier Transform of the speech signal, windowing is applied to taper away the signal frame at both ends and mitigate introduced artifact at expense of the maximum obtainable resolution. Window design is then motivated controlling the trade-offs or spectral-time resolut...

I am planning a short trip to northern Europe (time is scarce), and have 2 days for Stockholm. I probably have time for just one museum, and the Vasa Museum is by far the #1 most recommended museum in the city, by every travel guide, blog, etc. However, from what I saw and read, it's all about a...

I'm planning on putting an electrical box in my sink base with a split outlet, one for the dishwasher, the other for the garbage disposal. I was thinking of running 12/3 MC from the wall gangbox (metal box + metal cover with knockout) to another metal box in the sink base. Is this a legitimate ...

If I run StreamPlot[{a, b}, {a, 0, 10}, {b, 0, a}] the kernel hangs, and I have to restart it. I also get the error message StreamPlot::strmpts: Automatic is not a valid StreamPoints specification. If I try to manually specify StreamPoints, the kernel still hangs, and the error message ...

I am reading in a few blogs like this that the first page of the novel is really important if it has to get published. Is this true? Can a good story not compensate for an ordinary first page. I have a first page which is the introduction of my characters in a pub, is it advisable to bring up th...

I am having trouble with deriving a proof for the first difference property for the Fourier Series. Here is my attempt at the derivation: $$ y[n] = x[n] - x[n-1] $$ Fourier Series Representation: $$ a_k - a_ke^{-jk\omega_0} $$ Fourier Series: $$ y[n] = \sum_{k=<N>}(a_k-a_ke^{-jk\omega_0}...

Whilst wishing no disrespect to any religion, various "basic concepts" are easily found summarised or explained in introductory texts or online. For example: Buddhist metaphysics would have to do with death and rebirth, karma and Nirvana Christian concepts of theology could by summarised by tal...

I'm reading through Ishikawa Taiga's memoir 『僕の彼氏はどこにいる？』, and I've come across a passage that has me quite confused as far as grammatical structure goes, specifically the role of 自分が in following passage: 自分が初めて男のコに気持ちが動いたときのこと、学校でのこと、中には「元彼のことが忘れられない」なんて発言も飛び出して、まだ「生のゲイ」に出会ったことのないボクは、ただ感心する...

We removed some river-pebble-effect tiles in our hall, and found period (1910ish) tiles underneath. We have an area of about 2m², still with lots of the adhesive from the overlaid tiles. Otherwise the tiles appear to be in fairly good condition. How do we remove the adhesive from the top of th...

My professor put this on the slides but gave us very little context. It is meant to be an overview of how it works at a high level. I have a programming background and I get the general idea of attacks like Chosen Plaintext Attack. Be warned I am terrible at maths! Request: I hope someone can...

I would like to learn more about concatenative programming through the creation of a small simple language, based on the stack and following the concatenative paradigm. Unfortunately, I haven't found many resources concerning concatenative languages and their implementation, so excuse me in adva...

In a KP-K endgame, if the enemy king is in front of the pawn, is it always a draw? I've tried it in various positions, yet my opponent always is able to get in front somehow and promote the pawn. I hear it's always always a draw. I've been playing for so many years, and never figured out how t...

This question is just to satisfy my own curiosity. I play mainly guitar, and some piano. Both are chording instruments so I study chord structure and arpeggios as part of my education process. I found myself wondering whether students who study on instruments that cannot chord spend any time stud...

When someone fastens a "clasp bracelet/necklace", will it be natural to use: She clasped her necklace/bracelet. (I feel this sounds okay) She latched her necklace/bracelet. (Maybe this sounds a bit off.) She hooked her necklace/bracelet. (Maybe this sounds a bit off too) Or will i...

I tried to check what function shift-right is bound to which extends the region right by a character by default. But C-h k says: <right> (translated from <S-right>) runs the command right-char (found in global-map), which is an interactive compiled Lisp function in ‘bindings.el’. If S-right do...

Let $rS^{d-1}$ denote the sphere of radius $r$ in dimension $d$ (centered at the origin). I'm interested in the number of lattice points on the sphere (not inside). More precisely, let $$ N(r,d):=\text{number of lattice points on the sphere of raduis } r=\#\{x\in rS^{d-1}: x\in \mathbb{Z}^d\}. $...
