I have helped my cousin with homework. The homework goes: $6$ machines do the work in $210$ hours, how long will it take $10$ machines. Assuming the work is linear. I have solved that it is $0.6 \times 210 = 126$, as they will be working $40$ percent faster, therefore making the same in $60\%$ of...

The function $x\mapsto f(x)$ defined as $x+1$ for $x\geq 0$ and $x$ for $x<0$ has a jump at $x=0$. The derivative of $f$ is equal to $1$ on each sector and so $f$ is differentiable at $x=0$ and there is no gap in the slope of tangent lines. However the two tangents at $0^-$ and $0^+$ are not the ...

[EDIT] : modified the value of cutoff frequency to 4.8kHz after reading the answer of Andy aka. I need to build a LC high-pass filter that cuts at 4.8kHz with a fixed L value of 2.5 µH.

I have a random variable $\xi : \Omega\to\mathbb{R}$ which distribution function has a density, so by definition I have that the probability measure of each $(-\infty,x]$ can be calculated by: $$F_\xi(x)=P_\xi (-\infty,x]=\int_{-\infty}^x f_\xi(y)\mathrm{d}y \quad (1)$$ where the integral above i...

There are three horses in the race. You know the following information about them: Horse A will finish the race in 50 or 60 seconds with both events being equally likely. Horse B will always finish the race in 55 seconds. Horse C will finish the race in 53 or 57 seconds with both events being eq...

I need to write a topology expression involving the interior of the closure of a set. For the interior of a (not simple) set I'm using the macro \widering from yhmath package and it works fine if I write the closure with \overline. But I'd like to use instead \bar if the set involved is simple. H...

What could make a good equivalent to late 1700s/early 1800s riflemen in a near future setting? The The important qualities are that they're elite, use long range man portable weapons, & have it make sense to have them employed on the scale of battalions/companies primarily built around them & are...

Can there exist an interacting part of the Hamiltonian with odd number of fermionic operators? In other words, can we have a vertex which couples an odd number of fermions (there can also be 1, 2, or arbitrary number of bosons)? It seems that none of the theories I know of satisfy this condition:...

I'm trying to use a SD card with my ESP32 in order to save some variables in a txt file. Each variable uses 1 byte, so they can be represented by an 8 bit extended ASCII character. The issue is it seems that the SD.h library has only 3 open modes (Read only, FILE_WRITE, FILE_APPEND), and I cannot...

I have a fuel burner (fuel oil) that heats water and provides my home with baseboard heat. I have two thermostats and zone valves, both by White Rogers (and both pretty old): one set for the downstairs and one set for the upstairs. I assume that each zone valve + thermostat pair is part of the sa...

We need train & test data, so what do x and y mean? Does it mean that it divides 15% to the 'x_train', 'x_val', 'y_train', 'y_val' ? x_train, x_val, y_train, y_val = train_test_split(x, y, test_size=0.15, shuffle=True)

Chapter 1 takes place in 1953. A girl is kidnapped. She manages to write a note to her friend (they both go to school together but the boy has moved). The letter is destroyed. Her friend is the protagonist. I wanted a good 'hook', which it is, but the protagonist is only 9 years old at the time o...

I need to test a site in different browsers. Clearing browser cache deletes cache for all sites. How to clear or reset cache for a particular site in different browsers?

Wondering if any languages use words, particles, or other speakable markers to represent punctuation like periods, commas, hyphens, quotes, parentheses, question marks, exclamation marks, or potentially others (colons, etc.). For example, I think I may have read of a language (maybe Chinese) whic...

In one of the episodes of The Big Bang Theory (Season 12, Episode 12), when Raj gets a call from his dad, there are some comics on his table one of which had the title "The Coronav___"; maybe thats why it caught my eye (images below, click to enlarge). I was curious and tried to find this comic...

I am practicing RF. I have looked at an FM transmitter circuit in a video. I went on to analyse it. When the analysis got to the tank resonant circuit, I could not get it. This parallel LC circuit is a pass-band circuit. This means it will increase the impedance when the frequency of the signal ...

One of my favorite Italian sayings is Non tutte le ciambelle riescono col buco (literally "Not all donuts come out with holes"). It usually gets a smile from another Italian speaker, because it's a nice way to conclude (even serious) discussions about things that are complex and not working 100...

I recently bought a red and blue flashing light to wear on my helmet when I cycle into work in London. I abide by road rules, cycle safely, never cycle on footpaths, obey stop signs and traffic lights etc, so my intent here is not to dash through red traffic lights whenever I want. But it is incr...

Log4shell is making the news. A vulnerability in the widely used logging tool Log4J is putting many servers and even some desktop applications at risk of remote code execution. How does this vulnerability work? What sort of mistake makes it possible? It is something about format strings and ${jnd...

How to position the second label above the second axis? In the MWE below, simply declaring \pgfplotsset{compat=newest} solves the problem. However, I would like to control the label position locally in a document where the compat bounds cannot be set (think of it as temporary workaround). Is ther...

I think one of my clients (let's call him Stan) is actually doing client work for someone else (let's call him Fred) (who I thought was their business partner), and holding my work out to be their own and charging even more for it. I am a developer with a pretty strong software development backgr...

I have a transistor circuit where I wish to determine the transistor dimensions W and L, such that \$V_{out} = 1.5\text{V} \$ I have defined W and L for the two NMOS transistors. I have set L = 1u in the PMOS transistors and then I am sweeping through W to find a suitable value, such that \$V_{o...

In the United States, police must read your rights regarding police questioning as shown below1: “You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to an attorney. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be provided fo...

Is their some way of removing these useless tool buttons below the axis viewer. They are so often in the way. In viewport gizmos one can toggle navigate but that removes all of this.

I'm trying to learn some theory about the Petroff and was reading about the 3.d4 d5 sideline. Eventually, the position below is reached. [FEN ""] 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nf6 3.d4 d5 4.exd5 exd4 5.Qxd4 Qxd5 6.Qe3+ Qe6 7.Bb5+ Nc6 8.Bxc6+ bxc6 9.Nc3 What I can't wrap my head around is that Stockfish says tha...

UPDATE: Big thank you to all those who gave me advice! It led me to believe that there was nothing really wrong with my new tire, rather with my method of putting the tire on. There was no need to return the tire and exchange it for a smaller one - I used a "trick" of putting only half of the tir...

In Bathe's Finite Element Procedures 2014 P346, the Jacobian is defined as follows: \begin{equation} \mathbf{J} = \begin{bmatrix} \frac{\partial x}{\partial r} & \frac{\partial y}{\partial r} \\ \frac{\partial x}{\partial s} & \frac{\partial y}{\partial s} \end{bmatrix} \end{equation} I need to c...

We have a journal paper that got correction requests and need to be resubmitted. The changes need to be highlighted in the manuscript. How do you mark the changes? Is changing the text color enough? What if the reviewer/editor does not have a colored printer? or has color blindness? I tried under...

Fixing three real numbers $a,b,c>0$ determines a triangle with side-lengths $a,b,c$ (if admissible). Therefore, the area of a triangle is a function in $a,b,c$. Due to the geometry of a triangle, we know that the area is a symmetric function in $a,b,c$. Indeed, Heron formula shows that $$area(a,b...

This is the screenshot I took from a video on Linear regression made by Luis Serrano. He explained linear regression step by step (scratch version). The first step was to take a random line. The question is do we actually draw a random line. Or we do some calculation like taking an average of y ...

So I'm loving the asset browser in 3.0 but I have a question. Say you've created a character, marked it as an asset and saved the Blend file in your designated asset folder. However, after employing it in a couple of other Blends, you go back to the original asset file and add, for example, a few...

I have: \begin{equation} \int_{-\infty}^{\infty}\frac{x^2}{(x^2+1)(x^2+9)}dx \end{equation} and I want to solve it using a complex closed contour on C. I do the following: \begin{equation} \int_{-\infty}^{\infty}\frac{z^2}{(z^2+1)(z^2+9)}dz \end{equation} which clearly has 4 poles, $\pm i,\pm3i $...

I've come upon this sed command and I cannot figure out what it is doing. I understand that it is changing a file in place using -i, that it is using a script -e and that the script is $a\, but what is this script doing? sed -i -e '$a\' filename

How I understood it, the equation for the public key is defined as so K = k * G With K being the public key, k the private key and G the generator point. Now my first question, is G a constant? (as far as I read, it is a constant) And if it is, how is it not possible to simply do K/G = k? And i...
