I have seen a number of articles suggesting the use of a query string to force refresh of a cached file. For example, style.css becomes style.css?ver=134, and you update the "version number" whenever you change the file. Are there any potential problems with this method? If so, is there an alte...

As I understand, the DFT of a signal $x$ is a representation of this signal in the basis $$ \{ e^{j2\pi kn/N} \}_{k = 0, 1, \dots, N-1}$$ Is it possible to form a base of such discrete complex exponentials but with different frequencies ? ($\{ e^{j2\pi f_i n} \}$) Why did we choose these $\frac{k...

I used to play with a small X program dealing with symmetry groups. In a window you selected a symmetry group from a display, in another window appeared a grid of symmetry cells, drawn in thin red lines, you then draw a segment using the mouse and your segments were replicated in all the cells. Y...

It is said by a boss before a battle begun in a video game. Does the こんかい mean 'now' in this phrase? Does it share the same meaning with 「かかってこい」(bring it on)?

After upgrading to TeX Live 2022, I found a lot of my previous code broken due to the clash between newtx and fontspec. Here is a minimal example (The engine is XeLaTeX under Windows): \documentclass[11pt]{article} \usepackage{xeCJK} \usepackage{newtxtext} % !!! \usepackage{newtxmath} % !!! \usep...

I'm reading "The Mechanical Universe" (Frautschi et al.) to brush up my understanding of physics. So far, I can solve all the exercises and I have no problems with the mathematical parts. But, being about half way through the book, I have the impression that I don't really "get" some basic conc...

In Abstract Algebra: Theory and Applications, every non-zero element in a field has an unique multiplicative inverse. However, on Wikipedia the definition has dropped the unique term. For example, is $\mathbb{Z}_{18}$ a field? For example, $ 3 \cdot 6 = 3 \cdot 12 = 0 \ \text{mod 18}$ so 3 has at...

On this page explaining godel numbers (https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/goedel-incompleteness/sup1.html) it says "for simplicity, let us assume that ¬,→ and ∀ are the only primitive logical symbols, and that ∧,∨,↔ and ∃ are defined with the help of them". But I cant find how symbols like the ex...

I read that Le Pen is courting Melenchon (the 3rd place finisher) voters for the upcoming runoff election against Macron. However, I thought Melenchon was the socialist candidate, so won't all of his voters tend towards Macron in the runoff?

I was reading about slip ratio controlled anti skid system and had this one particular question in my mind. In addition to the wheel speed data, slip ratio controlled systems need a ground speed reference to estimate and control slip ratio. Going through the relevant literature, I came across mu...

If there is a one-variable function, we can f/@{a,b,c} to get {f[a],f[b],f[c]} What to do with it if it comes to a binary function f[#1,#2]&, and a list {a,b,c} and we want to "Map" it into a list funtion {f[#1,a],f[#1,b],f[#1,c]}& I have found a strange way: MapThread[f,{Table[#,3],{a,b,c}]& th...

We know TCP socket is port numbers and IP addresses. Is TCP socket connection is 3-way handshake:the SYN packet, the SYN-ACK packet, and the ACK packet? Is TCP socket connection follows TCP stack? And is TCP connection follows the TCP stack for data transmission? My question is how TCP stack, TC...

I have a question related to parameterize Lennard-Jones interaction to get sigma $\sigma$ and epsilon $\epsilon$ to include in amber force field to do the Molecular Dynamics. I searched a lot, they always said you should do scan between two atoms and then fit with Lennard-Jones Equation, but they...

What is the reason behind the multiplication of the function's derivative with the step size (and the subsequent addition) in the numerical Euler method? $$ y_{n+1} = y_n + hf(t_n, y_n) $$ I can't figure out why exactly this would work for generating a new value. How can scaling the output of the...

Usually, when starting my car, as soon as I turn the key all the way around, the car instantly starts revving and then springs to life. For some reason, today, when starting my car. I turned the key in the ignition and nothing happened. My dashboard's lights turned on, however, no sputtering or n...

I will be driving in the US with a rental car, and going through some toll roads. In my understanding there are some roads which accept only electronic payment, so in that case how will it work for us tourists from abroad? As far as I know, there's a transponder in each rental car, but how do I m...

I am trying to retrieve metadata of custom Tab from a profile with SFDX It should be logically something like that in metadata: <tabVisibilities> <tab>standard-Calendar</tab> <visibility>DefaultOn</visibility> </tabVisibilities> but cant retrieve anything using sfdx sfpowerkit:source:pr...

I just saw that C++23 plans to deprecate both std::aligned_storage and std::aligned_storage_t as well as std::aligned_union and std::aligned_union_t. Placement new'd objects in aligned storage are not particularly constexpr friendly as far as I understand, but that doesn't appear to be a good rea...

When I'm in side view, I now see the sides of the object instead of it being flat like it was before. I've downloaded the most recent version of Blender, and now it's stuck like this, and I can't change it back. Thanks

Consider a quantum channel $\Phi$ that maps from density operators $\mathcal{S}(\mathcal{H}_A)$ to itself, that commutes with any unitary channel $\mathcal{U}$ on $\mathcal{S}(\mathcal{H}_A)$, i.e. $\Phi(\mathcal{U}(\rho))=\mathcal{U}(\Phi(\rho)),\,\,\forall\rho\in\mathcal{S}(\mathcal{H}_A)$. Is ...

The scene in which Faromir is leading a battle and Denethor is eating the tomato while Pippin sings. What is the significance of that? Ostensibly it's to show that Denethor isn't interested or has already given up on Faromir, but why was it shown that way in particular, with Pippin singing and th...

I’m looking for an episode of a childrens’ cartoon featuring a young (teenage?) astronaut. As far as I recollect, he was flying a red-white striped rocket (not unlike Tintin’s rocket, but my memory might conflate things a bit.) I seem to remember that his name was Archie or similar, and that he b...

I'm wondering whether angular momentum is just a convenience that I could hypothetically solve any mechanics problems without ever using the concept of angular momentum. I came up with this question when I saw a problem in my physics textbook today. In the problem, a puck with known velocity hits...

Can the characteristic impedance value of a single-ended transmissions line be omitted when the two transmissions lines of a differential pair are routed differentially (not two isolated lines)? I ask this because up to now when dealing with a diff pair, I've always first calculated the required ...

I am solving the Kuramoto model on a random graph $G(n,p)$, plotting the synchrony against the coupling parameter, as follows, n = {300}; tmax = 100; evaltime = 10; SeedRandom[Nosc]; rg1 = RandomGraph[BernoulliGraphDistribution[n[[1]], 6/n[[1]]]]; rg2 = AdjacencyGraph[AdjacencyMatrix[rg1]]; Nosc ...

I'd like to write a curved arrow along a line, like this one. How can I write it?

My colleague and I work together on a project. We generally get along well on a personal level, and he makes good contributions to the team. His opinions are often valuable and highlight things we might not have thought of. Recently we've started butting heads. Basically if he can't see why a cer...

I want to install ntpdate as usual on CentOS8. However, it is not available: # cat /proc/version Linux version 4.18.0-240.1.1.el8_3.x86_64 ([email protected]) (gcc version 8.3.1 20191121 (Red Hat 8.3.1-5) (GCC)) #1 SMP Thu Nov 19 17:20:08 UTC 2020 # yum install -y ntpdate Last m...

I have a CSV file with lat/long points and dates associated with the points. The points were recorded locations of PIT tags in fish on certain dates. I'd like to be able to confine the points to path tool to another line layer (stream flowline paths). Right now, if I run the points to path, grou...

What are the main differences between the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) and the Number Theoretical Transform (NTT)? Why do we use the NTT and not the FFT in cryptographic applications? Which one is a generalization of the other?

I find on some companies' websites they use the word "disciplines" to mean different areas/types of jobs. One of their job descriptions says "You will work across the company with other product groups, as well as across the aisle with other disciplines." I look up the word discipline and the clos...

Client wants to hide file name extensions to avoid removing them by mistake when renaming files. I used Finder preferences to uncheck the "Show all filename extensions" option. This only hid a extensions from some files. Most files in various locations still show the extension, including in newly...

Short version How do believers in modern apostles rebut Don Stewart's article Are There Still Apostles Today? ? Longer version I'll enumerate key points and include relevant quotes from Don Stewart's article: The Gift Was Foundational to the Church (Ephesians 2:19-20). The foundation was laid l...

I have a data set, consisting of positive and negative patients (virus infection). If the patient is negative, it has 0 as outcome (y), if it is positive it has a positive value, up to 100. The input (x) values are numeric too and I want to predict the y values just out of the x values. x consits...

On a fictional planet far away from our own, there is a part plant, part animal creature of truly massive proportions embedded in the sand of a desert-like portion of the planet, kinda like a cross between Dune's sandworm and Star War's sarlac. Its mouth remains closed, sitting just below the sur...

I created a new weapon for the barbarian of the party I am DMing. They are in the 2nd tier of playing, they are all at level 7, in a couple of session they will level up. I would like to give the barbarian a ranged weapon thematically close to her fighting style but also related to some past eve...

This year (5782) Acharei Mos won’t be read until a few weeks after Metzora, due to Pesach falling on Shabbos (and outside of Israel on the next Shabbos as well). Do the Poskim discuss whether one may start reading the parsha of Acharei Mos before Pesach, or rather if one should wait until the wee...
