Hi all. I have an old Fuji and there's a bolt that holds the crank in place. It fell out and is lost unfortunately and I am looking for a new one. Does anyone have any ideas? I'd really appreciate it!

I want to make the filling between lines 2 and 3 semi-transparent so that the viewer can see there is another filling between lines 1 and 3 in the background. How can I do that? Thanks in advance. LogLogPlot[{8/x, 6/x, 4/x}, {x, 3, 5}, Filling -> {{1 -> { {3}, Cyan}}, {2 -> { {3}, Yellow}}}]

While looking at USB 3.0 Host Controller reference design, I came across this circuit: They used LL4148 diode in this design. Note: PONRST goes directly to the Host Controller IC. I'm trying to understand the idea behind why is this circuit used. To my understanding, when when 3V3AUX_in = 3.3V, ...

I have recently learned (in shock!) that it is impossible to predict the moment a macro defined via defmacro is expanded (i.e., its code is run in order to generate the expanded form which will in turn run when the macro is invoked). For instance, when you run the macro (defmacro report-ca...

I have a UART that I'm trying to protect from a few different fault conditions, including short-to-rail (12V), negative voltage, and ESD. I'd typically use TVSes to protect against ESD, and a clamping diode configuration to ensure that the UART RX/TX lines stay within the expected voltage range; ...

Let $R$ be a commutative ring and consider the ring of polynomials $R[x]$. Let $D:R[x]\to R[x]$ be the formal derivative. For any element $a\in R$ we also have an evaluation homomorphism $\varphi_a:R[x]\to R$ defined by $\varphi_a f=$ "$f(a)$". Suppose we have polynomials $f(x),g(x)\in R[x]$ sati...

Google tells me it is John McCarthy. Who did it for lisp 1959, but the video I was watching on C mentions the lack of a garbage collector and says that when Dennis Richie invented C in 1972 computers where decades away from a garbage collector.

I was replacing the sink plug. It did not screw in, but rather fall into the plug. And now it's stuck, not moving. As you can see, the plug lever is fully pushed in and is not raising the plug.

In the 1800s, ten-pin bowling was invented as a way to circumvent the ban on nine-pin bowling that was placed by all states except Texas. However, ten-pin bowling was not banned by any state.

Is five years the usual length of a UK Parliament? Then why were some only four years long, such as from 1997 to 2001 and from 2001 to 2005? Did the Prime Minister call for these early elections, and is there a reason why Prime Ministers often support elections one year earlier?

How can I use this type of marker for this? Plot[{x + 3, x^2 + 1}, {x, -5, 5}, PlotStyle -> Thickness[0.01], Epilog -> {Red, PointSize[0.03], Point[{2, 5}]}] I would be nice if the colors are added automatically from the two curves.

I was just thinking about what good 'know thyself' means.

The bicyclops are half man half bicycle - a bit like a centaur. They do not have legs because the lower part of their body is mostly bicycle.

The Kobold 5th level ancestry feat Grovel has two key benefits. The first of these is straightforward enough - it allows the Kobold to feint from a 30 foot range - an unambiguous and clear advantage. The other component however, is a bit less straightforward - it causes the feint to work against ...

There are many statements in abstract algebra, often asked by beginners, which are just too good to be true. For example, if $N$ is a normal subgroup of a group $G$, is $G/N$ isomorphic to a subgroup of $G$? As an experienced mathematician, we see immediately that there is no reason for this to b...

It is common in quantum mechanics textbooks (e.g. Ballentine page 15) to define the trace of an operator as the sum of its diagonal elements in an orthonormal basis in particular.

Of the designs of species that have evolved, I am curious why a 360 degree rotation, like a joint that can spin, does not seem to have evolved, for example wheels or a propeller.
