I was playing with the Fibonacci sequence in binary like so (note that the binary representations are written here from smallest bit to largest bit): 1 1 1 1 01 2 11 3 101 5 00...

I have some shadowed symbols. How do I list all the contexts that they are in? For instance, consider symbol x which is in contexts: package1, package2 BeginPackage["package1`"]; x["package"] := "package1"; EndPackage[]; BeginPackage["package2`"]; x["package"] := "package2"; EndPackage[]; attemp...

I have a paint thinner that contains 60% toluene and 40% acetone. I would like to obtain some more-or-less pure toluene. Considering the big difference in boiling points (110°C toluene vs 56°C acetone), and because I only need the toluene and not the acetone, I just tried to pour the paint thinne...

How to find $\lambda_3(A)$, where $$A = \{ (x,y,z) \in \mathbb{R}^3 | z^2 < \frac{x^2}{4} + \frac{y^2}{9} < 2z \}$$ I know that measure of set A is given by $\int_A 1 d\lambda_3$. I suppose that here I should use Fubini Theorem, however I can't figure out how to get the limits of integration. Wh...

I have written a python script to do global optimisation on interatomic potential (IP) using Metropolis Monte Carlo. I have attached the part of the script which is the Metropolis MC part. I have plotted the plot: IP energy (no Coulomb interaction in the energy) as a function of step number (from...

I am trying to solve partial derivatives on Mathematica cloud. I checked the tutorial provided by Wolfram. And it says I can input differentiation variable by ctrl + _. However, whenever I am trying this chrome shortcut is working and just pressing control is not giving me any reaction. Is is a p...

*Disclaimer - I have very little knowledge of semantics, and I am mostly just a phonetics enthusiast. Thus, my question and the way I explain it may be unprofessional or may lack linguistic rigor. I'm a teenager, and I'm from the American Midwest. One feature famously characteristic of discourse ...

As I mentioned in the question title, I want to generate specific uniformly distributed samples. I need them to model a real world scenario. For my real data, I estimated a function, which approximates the auto-correlation function by a e-function. I also modeled a distribution model for my real ...

All I can remember is these small characters doing battle in some cyberspace on small flying ships, only to find their way out into the real world by flying out of the hard drive and proceeding to battle through a house.

Looking at pictures of Titan rockets with solid rocket boosters, the bell is at an angle. Why would they do that? https://historicspacecraft.com/Rockets_Titan.html https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Titan_%28rocket_family%29 https://www.enginehistory.org/Rockets/RPE06/RPE06.shtml

I'm trying to install python-is-python3 like I've done many times in the past successfully, but I'm getting the following error now: pip install python-is-python3 ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement python-is-python3 (from versions: none) ERROR: No matching distributi...

In Haskell (and probably some other languages or something) zip is a function which takes two lists, and produces a list of tuples by pairing elements at the same index: zip [1,2,3] [6,5,4] = [(1,6),(2,5),(3,4)] If there are extra elements on one of the input lists those are trimmed off and don'...

A colleague just asked me about a file on my computer, and I answered him that the file is not a virus, but I'm doubting if I did it correctly. Let's compare with the sentence "There are no viruses": English Dutch French There are no viruses Er zijn geen virussen Il n'y a pas de virus I...

The book I am working with (Microeconomics Theory by A. Rubinstein) states that: "In the case that preferences are represented by a utility function, preferences satisfying monotonicity (or strong monotonicity) can be represented by an increasing (or strongly increasing) utility function". Can it...

I am trying to obtain a random selection of polygons (e.g., 100 polygons out of 400) with the condition that the selected polygons are not adjacent among each other. Any suggestion on how to achieve this result in QGIS?

For debugging purposes, I need to automatically load a large number of URLs (successively) in a given Firefox tab. More precisely, my goal is to load URL1, URL2, etc., as if the user had typed these URLs in the URL bar and typed return, always in the same tab, and log the network traffic that is ...

I know Anaphora is repetition of a word or expression at the beginning of successive phrases, clauses, sentences, or verses and Epistrophe is repetition of a word or expression at the end of successive phrases, clauses, sentences, or verses. But what would the figure of speech or poetic device be...

This question is motivated by a comment discussion from my previous question. From this article that was linked in a comment: “Perspectivism, or scientific relativism, is never relative to a subject: it constitutes not a relativity of truth but, on the contrary, a truth of the relative.” (Deleuz...

I am currently in the process of handing over my business that is a Waxing spa located in Portland, Oregon to my 18 year old daughter. However, she has decided that our logo needs to change, for the fact it may be offensive to non binary clients and feels that is the reason for declining numbers ...

I have written a two-row equation in this way: \begin{eqnarray}\label{cov} a \\ & =& b. \end{eqnarray} with as a result If I write (\ref{cov}) I get "(10)". Do you know how to create a cross-reference to equation (11) instead? Thanks.
