I would like to know what is the general logic behind the choice of the rib spacing in the thin-walled load bearing structure of a straight or swept all-metal wing? Is it the global or local structural stability, or the skin waveness tolerance, or something else?

I have completed my master's in mathematics a couple of years ago and due to personal and professional reasons I couldn't get admitted to Grad School. I have a really good background in Number theory. I don't have guidance of any Prof. right now and I want to try working on an open problem. Can...

What kind of Freehub body is this? It looks like an old Uniglide but the threads go all the way down, and it's very short (as I hope you can tell with the ruler). It's on an unbranded hub attached to a DT Swiss X450 rim.

I've recently updated my computer from TeXLive 2019 to TeXLive 2022, and a document that compiled perfectly with the 2019 version raises an error with the new version.

Is it possible to make blender (on timeline) move an object by X distance instead of making him move it from A to B. This way using it would be more flexible and allow for same movement of objects with different origin.

I was debugging a battery. The resting voltage was 10.8, which means either the battery is bad or there is something draining it. So to check the drain I had my multimeter connected to measure current. There was no drain, so I assume it's the battery. I then boosted my car, and I wanted to measu...

I am debugging a query in Oracle 19c that is trying to sort a SELECT DISTINCT result by a field not in the query. (Note: This is the wrong way to do it. Do not do this.)

I was corrected when I said the following. 勉強は大変なのに、諦めちゃだめ。 I was told that 大変だけど had to be used instead of 大変なのに. Although in English, the word “although” works in a similar sentence, it doesn’t in Japanese. Why is のに not appropriate in this case (although studying is hard, you can’t give up)?

I am teaching a unit on sound in my upper elementary science class, and my students are curious about how far air molecules are actually being displaced in a sound wave.

What would be the angular momentum of the particle at position $r_i$ in the diagram above? The vector from the axis of rotation is $R_i$ and the tangential velocity is $v_i$ so the magnitude of angular momentum should be $|R_i|m_i|v_i|$ which gives the vector $R_i \times (m_iv_i)$ since $R_i$ a...

Suppose you are given two sets $\{p_1, p_2,\dots , p_n\}$ and $\{q_1, q_2,\dots , q_n\}$ of $n$ points on the unit circle. Each point $p_i$ is connected to $q_i$ by a line segment. How could we count the number of intersections of all $n$ line segments in $O(n\log n)$? You could also see the pro...

I wonder why they needed the Death Star as I’ve seen in comics and YouTube videos that a few star destroyers can basically destroy a planet though not to the extent of what the Death Star did to Alderaan.

It is well-known that a local ring $A$ with maximal ideal $\mathfrak{m}$ of depth zero is not necessarily artinian (e.g. $k[x,y]/(xy, x^2)$ localised at the origin), but what if we further require that $A$ is reduced? I know (or at least am very sure) the answer is yes, a reduced noetherian local...

There is one rule: Sum of integers must be as close to the sum of original numbers as possible (ideally sum of integers is a rounded sum of originals). You can think about it as of snapping t...

In my institution, the acknowledgements section of a master's thesis may be quite personal so I thought I'd thank my fiancée who is (very) pregnant now, thanking her for carrying the burden of pregnancy. However, the thesis is written by me and my colleague. The problem is obvious, how do I write...

In both the Free Dictionary and the Collins Dictionary, 'in need' means 'lacking something'. So, the proverb 'a friend in need is a friend indeed' should mean 'a friend lacking something is a true friend' literally. How come the proverb means 'someone who helps you when you are in need is a true ...

My story is an urban fantasy tale, set on an alternate Earth where every mythical humanoid that humanity ever thought was real, is in fact real, or at least used to be before going extinct. From vampires and werewolves to elves and dwarves to merfolk and minotaurs, they all came into being becaus...

What am I missing? I want to find out how many files match a given pattern in a directory and assign it to a variable. If I type it all straight on the command line it works fine ls /backups/system\ db\ files/temp/daily/backup_filename_202203*.tar.gz | wc -l (n.b. the * is the date the backup wa...

I have data displayed on a line, I want to present the mean as a horizontal line and a standard deviation as a vertical line. Example to code: Show[ListLinePlot[Mean[analysBeeSumOfVelocity[[1 ;;18]]],PlotStyle->Dashed,PlotRange->{{0,8},{0,10}}, AxesLabel-> {"Repeat","Average velocity(cm/sec)"}...

Does anyone have any really good 'hidden' CiviCRM features / easter eggs that you don't see enough of the community taking advantage of? We just wrote an article about a few we know about and were wondering if anyone else had some even better ones?

According to PhilPapers Survey from 2020 there are 239 philosophers who identify as accepting or leaning towards Physicalism and yet reject consciousness of future AI. To me this seems very puzzling, what is the difference between brains and future AI under physicalism?

I'm doing my PhD in mathematics (Germany) since four years, and I have agreed with my supervisor that I should finish within the next half a year. I am not very confident that this is a realistic perspective. In the past four years, I have worked on various things, but have hardly been successful...

If it’s a family law. In some state, for example, Arkansas. Can I call a witness from a different state? Will court accept him? I’m asking because this witness is from a different state, then the court will not be able to hold him accountable since this witness is from a different jurisdiction. S...

We are asked to find the volume of the following solid: $$x=0, y=0, z=0, x+y+z=2, y^2=1-z, y>0$$ We should compute $\displaystyle \iint_{T}(x+y-y^2-1)dxdy$, but I cannot figure out which is the orthogonal $T$, in which we can integrate. I have tried to transform the above expressions into polar c...

We have nodes that have dozens of fields and have elected to not include the {{ content }} variable as it is tedious and looks messy having something like the following just to not print the fields. We're manually outputting each field as needed like {{ content.myfield }}. The problem is that whe...

I'm putting together some training materials for a workshop on R for spatial data analysis in archaeology, and need to anonymize the true site locations (confidential information) while keeping the spatial integrity of the features within the site's bounding box. My initial thought is to subtract...

I burnt the tree and now the finger reader in roundtable hold won't speak to me (understandable I guess) but I want to trade in some remembrances. Is there any other way I can get them traded for weapons or is that it now?

I am developing a C++ for ARM using GCC. I have ran into an issue where, I no optimizations are enabled, I am unable to create a binary (ELF) for my code because it will not fit in the available space. However, if I simply enable optimization for debugging (-Og), which is the lowest optimizatio...

I have a child who has a few enormous natural talents. Yet the child does not want to pursue any of these gifts and, from an adult perception standpoint, seems to take these gifts for granted. Instead, the child would rather pursue endeavors they are less talented in. How do you balance lettin...

I am moving a noise texture through a mesh for displacement and I want to know where the 4D option would be for the texture. When I move the noise, it moves across X - Y, but I also want it to move across Z. Is this possible?

I love noodle soup and doling out bowl after bowl of it, but I have noticed that ingredients are not evenly distributed between bowls. However I have noticed that the bowls, even when filled to the same level, contain different quantities of solid ingredients, potentially very different quantitie...

While translating a story, I came upon this sentence: "Will you help me catch the troll?" she asked. I translated it as: »Helfen Sie mir zum Fangen den Troll?« fragte sie. But 2 native German speakers corrected me in these 2 ways: »Helfen Sie mir den Troll zu fangen?« fragte sie. »Helfen S...

How can I create the following shape (in 3D, similar to a torus). I only want one of the "circle shapes" (i.e not the two you see overlapping). Any ideas how one might create this? Similar to this maybe (i.e. the difference in thinkness between on side of the ring and the other side not quite as...
