In my directory I have two files with space, foo bar and another file. I also have two files without space, file1 and file2. The following script works: for f in foo\ bar another\ file; do file "$f"; done This script also works: for f in 'foo bar' 'another file'; do file "$f"; done But the foll...

Suppose we have binary search tree with $n$ nodes. For each node $u$ we define weight of $u$ is number of nodes in sub tree of $u$ with $u$. if ratio of weight of each internal node $u$ of right sub tree and left sub tree be at least $0.5$ and at most 2, then what is worst case of searching fo...

In the document that I am writing, I regularly need to draw commutative diagrams using tikz-cd (see MWE). I'd like to define a custom diagram environment which has the following properties: no boilerplate code: only the tikz-cd commands are present within the environment centered has its own cou...

The 2-D reals are isomorphic to the complex numbers, correct? So why is it that “connected” is equivalent to “path connected” in the complex numbers, but not in the 2-D reals (as exemplified by the topologist's sine curve)? Couldn't we just construct a topologist’s sine curve in the complex numb...

One of the early events in my story involves a 2x2 mile section of a suburban town that is encased in invisible walls 100 feet high and perpetually subjected to heavy rain at a rate of about an inch an hour. It will keep filling up with water until it goes over the 100 foot walls roughly 50 days ...

Consider a game with $N$ players, each indexed by $i=1,...,N$. Every player $i$ has to choose a $J\times 1$ vector of actions $a_i\equiv (a_{i,1},...,a_{i,J})$ where each $a_{i,j}$ can be zero or one. The payoff of each player $i$ is $u_i(a_i, a_{-i})$, where $a_{-i}$ denotes the actions of the o...

I am going have a finished basement of 1000 sq/ft which includes a theater room of 12X16. Currently I am in process of planning in stalling duct work to my basement.

I'm planning on digging a trench for underground electrical conduit. I recently called my state "call before you dig" underground locating service. They finished marking the locations of underground utilities. They all overlap, perpendicular, to my proposed conduit path. Does this matter? Does th...

I want to solve $x^3=a^2$ for $x$ where $a>0$ and $x$ is real. The answer I want is $$x=a^{2/3}.$$ On Wolfram Cloud, I tried Solve[x^3 == a^2, x, Reals, Assumptions -> {a > 0}] // ToRadicals But this returns {{x -> (-1)^(2/3) a^(2/3)}} It appears that specifing the domain to Reals does not make...

The description of clairvoyance states: When you cast the spell, you choose seeing or hearing. You can use the chosen sense through the sensor as if you were in its space. The wording "as if you were in its space" arguably leaves room for ambiguity. If a creature with innate darkvision -- e.g.,...

I recently moved to another house. My setup's current coax is 50ft/RG8x/PL259 (bought in 2018), but it is not enough for connecting my antenna to where I want to place the radio. I believe that 50ft more will be enough. Should I: Buy an additional 50ft rg8x coax? Buy an 100ft RG8x coax? Buy an...

My question is also about this legal language structure in general: "This law applies to a person if they X and Y." I read this as a strict and, that the law applies only if the person satisfied both criteria. Is that the most common interpretation? Clearly it is a correct natural language interp...

I find the oath Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth? an almost absurd request. It is common-sense that nobody knows the whole truth about anything, so how could one ever disclose the whole truth? (Socrates would certainly be impressed.) I believe for reaso...

I'm essentially asking the counter-question to this one. Is there any historical evidence of Christians openly denying the divinity of Jesus in the 1st and 2nd centuries AD? I know that Arianism became a thing in the 3rd century AD, but what about the previous two centuries?

While disconnecting relay contact, it is recommended that the action should be done at or near current zero. As the contact area decreases rapidly, a spark is generated due to high current density. But what about the time while connecting the relay? The current will be zero before connecting the ...

I understand that the Trojan points are located 60 degrees ahead and behind a planet in its orbit. However, since there are quite a number of Trojans in Jupiter's orbit, they cannot all be exactly at that point. Presumably they orbit around it. So what sort of orbits do they have? Are they circu...

I saw a vampire movie when I was a young kid in the early 90s. I thought the movie was contemporary but it could be older.

I am trying to take the derivative of the following stochastic integral, $$d\left(\int g(S_t) dS_t \right),$$ where $dS(t) = \sigma S(t) dW_t$ and $g(.)$ is some (smooth) deterministic function. My understanding is that we can't just apply the fundamental theorem of calculus, but instead need to ...

For example, the word "Emperor" in IPA on Wiktionary for General American is written /ˈɛmpɹɚ/. But that's kind of cheating because ɚ is basically /ɹ/ as far as I can tell. Yet, when you say the word, you say it in syllable form "em-pr-r", it's almost as if there is a silent or subtle glottal stop...

I'm working on a world that hasn't had an ice age in 250 million years and looking at how to shape the coasts.

I was wondering why I always read that the decay of the ACF of an AR(p) process should be exponential. I am confused because the theoretical ACF of a stationary AR(1) process $y_{t} = \phi y_{t-1} + \epsilon_{t}$, $\mid\phi\mid < 1$ is $\phi^{h}$ where $h$ is the lag. So this is a power law decay...

And when th...

My PI helps to modify my thesis. He keeps changing the degree mark '˚' to '0' as the superscript in a degree centigrade mark. He also changes every 'in the phase' to 'at the phase'. As I searched, superscript 0 was used when initially creating the degree mark. But now ˚ is used in all the degree ...

First I want some space above the text and the horizontal line and want only the titles (top cells) to be middle aligned (vertically). The code I am using i...

So, in this history, they just said "screw it, I'm giving railguns to the army", and they added a machine gun like rifle with big caliber, but low recoil, they carry a backpack with batteries and a lot of ammo. But since I don't really know how much energy a railgun would require to shoot a bulle...

To my knowledge, momentum is conserved when net external force equals zero. In the case of a block $m_1$ attached to a string hitting another block $m_2$, there must be a net force on $m_1$, which would be its centripetal force, pointing inward. Therefore comparing just before $m_1$ hits $m_2$ an...

The xparse documentation says, But that's not what I get when I test s. \documentclass{article} \usepackage{xparse} \NewDocumentCommand{\myfunc}{s}{#1} \begin{document} \myfunc % should return \BooleanFalse; actually returns \Gamma \myfunc* % should return \BooleanTrue; actually returns \...

I’ve reached a point in Horizon: Zero Dawn where I have enough shards to start investing in something other than weapon upgrades and ammunition. And so, we turn to the question of Aloy’s attire. Early in the game, I picked up the Nora stealth armor, and when the opportunity presented, I upgraded ...

I just love the bass, there are youtube channels with bass players that just do bass solo. Is there a name for this. I can't find anything on spotify that resembles for example this:

In a 2014 post of the XeTeX list, the Great Master David Carlisle gives the following code for obtaining the same result as with the \showhyphens command, but with OpenType fonts in XeTeX: \catcode`\@=11 \def\showhyphenspace#1 {% \ifx\valign#1\valign\else #1\vadjust{\penalty\@ne} \expandafter\sho...

While Ingenuity patiently waits for its preflight checks to pass, how likely is it that a wind gust could tip it over? How strong and how rare a gust? Those rotors have plenty of area. (Surely NASA considered this scenario.) For simplicity let's say that prior gusts have already scooted it unt...

I am building a brick wall from concrete blocks. Note that these concrete blocks just provide a facade, don't hold any weight except an additional layer of same bricks above them. The blocks are 4" high, I want to run a 2" pipe through the middle. The 2" PVC pipe should fit snugly. Is there any c...

Would the Hulk be dead because he is a failed super soldier and Zemo shot all of the other known super soldiers. Wouldn't he have shot Bruce too because he is a failed super soldier?

In D&D 4th Edition, one can only get to a state of Dying after getting Bloodied first. If - for example - I have a Feat which gives me the ability A to do something as a Minor/Move/Standard action while I'm Bloodied, while at the same time I'm currently in a Dying state and I have another Feat th...

i.e. could we find a subset $X\subset \mathbb{Q}^2$ such that $\overline{X}=\mathbb{R}^2$ and that for any $x,y\in X$ the distance $|x-y|$ is an irrational number? I'm considering the following assertion of which I'm not sure : Given finite rational points $p_1,p_2,\dots,p_n$ , and an open ball ...

With Scrum you can try to plan longer releases using team velocity. If team velocity is 100 Story Points (SP)/Sprint and the Product Backlog has 1000 SP then you can say you can finish in 10 Sprints. When developing software with Kanban it doesn't have velocity. How can you plan releases with Kan...
