Is there a builtin mechanism that copies the result of C-x C-e rather than inserting it into the buffer with the non-negative prefix. I think this would have been more useful by default.

The whole sentence is: “笑える! コタってつまんない男だと思ってたけど案外 冗談 通じんじゃん。” I checked on the internet and found “冗談が通じる” which means He or she gets the joke. But in the sentence “冗談 通じんじゃん”. the word “じゃん” is the colloquial contraction of “じゃない” and sometimes it means “actually”. I‘m confused what is the...

I'm talking about the classic paper tea bags (sold empty) that you can buy and then put whatever you want in; sometimes different sizes are available for cups vs teapots, etc. Yes, I do realise most "pre-filled" tea bags like Lipton have bags made from roughly the same material, but I don't know ...

So, I was reading about the Dirac delta function and how its differentiation works.

The question is this, could I protect the city inside a shell of suitable material that uses the ...

I'm struggling to understand what's going wrong here. I'm just really simply trying to use gdal's nofilldata method to fill the gaps in a raster file. Here's the code: from osgeo import gdal from osgeo.gdalconst import * import matplotlib.pyplot as plt import numpy as np filename = "in_raster.TIF"...

I've noticed that many logic textbooks (oriented towards model theory) will require relation symbols to have positive arity. I cannot immediately think of a technical reason why one would require this condition. What are the reasons for doing so? Historical?

I saw a statement about the Riemann hypothesis in Wikipedia, stating the following: $\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{\mu(n)}{n^{s}}=\frac{1}{\zeta(s)}$ holds for $Re(s)>\frac{1}{2}$ is equivalent to the Riemann hypothesis. I tried to find a reference about it but I can't find it. May anyone provide a re...

I.R Baboon got no pants. I.R Baboon got nothing to hide. It has been decades since I watched the cartoon in earnest. I have forgotten most of the lore. One thing I do remember is thinking the baboon is a girl and the weasel is a boy. So I am surprised to read the Wikipedia page that says I.R is ...

I am a DM in a homebrew setting (and system) that I made. We recently started the first big quest and it kicked off with them fighting two enemies. In the fight, they were going to lose, but through the use of clever strategy managed to cause the enemies to use up most of their resources too. The...

$$\mathrm{Speed}=\lvert\mathrm{velocity}\rvert$$ $$\mathrm{speed}=\sqrt{\left(\frac{\mathrm dx}{\mathrm dt}\right)^{\!2}+\left(\frac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dt}\right)^{\!2}}$$ The parametric speed formula is based on the Pythagoras' theorem using a triangle formed by $\mathrm dy$ and $\mathrm dx$, w...

I am trying to use Google Calendar. I have different accounts registered in the Google Calendar Android app. Each of these corresponds to a different phone user in my household or to one of my virtual accounts. What I can't understand, is, why are my calendar events staying the same when I switch...

I'd been following Godot tutorials to add Drag & Drop functionality to Control nodes. They've presumably been created for Godot 3.x, but my project is 4.0. And I can't seem to get it to work, thinking something has changed. To make sure it's due to the difference in Godot versions, I did the exac...

I've recently started a new D&D5e campaign, that is mainly roleplaying focused. One of my players is playing a barbarian gnome, and rolled all of their stats.. and got a 25 for strength (and 18's and 19's for all other stats.) The party is level one. When I asked if they could reroll/balance thei...
