Let $X$ be a compact Hausdorff space and $\mathcal{A}$ be a subalgebra of $C(X;\mathbb{R})$.

Suppose now that $...

In an experiment I repeat some task $n$ times and count how often the task completes successfully. This gives the number $m$. Therefore the success ratio is $$ r = \frac{m}{n} $$ To calculate the error I just would use $$ \Delta r = \frac{\Delta m}{n} = \frac{\sqrt{m}}{n} $$ but then when I have ...

Is it possible to store the Firefox Primary Password (formerly known as the Master password) using the freedesktop secret service dbus API, in order to bypass the password prompt when Firefox starts and attempts to sync? If this were possible, the primary password would be stored in your local pa...

The TeXBook has the following text on page 40 (emphasis added) Conversely, you can go from a list of character tokens to a control sequence by saying \csname⟨tokens⟩\endcsname. The tokens that appear in this construction between \csname and \endcsname may include other control sequences, as long...

I understand how a rollover works with personal loans. An easy example would be a car. Someone wants to buy a new car, but they still have an outstanding balance on their current vehicle. So the dealer rolls over that loan by adding the old loan balance into the new car loan. Bonds are different ...

Residence Permit valid until 05-2024. She is 18 years old and she became Adult. In 06-2023 she is going to visit Russia (flight throug...

On cppreference, we can see std::optional takes a default value of U&& rather than T&&. It makes me incapable of writing the following code: std::optional<std::pair<int, int>> opt; opt.value_or({1, 2}); // does not compile opt.value_or(std::make_pair(1, 2)); // compiles However, I find there is ...

How can I properly design a symbol, such as \oiint with Tikz? I've found something like this on the internet \usepackage{tikz} \usetikzlibrary{shapes} \begin{document} \[ \oint\iint {\tikz \node[draw, ellipse, inner xsep=-3.6pt, inner ysep=-9pt] {$\displaystyle\iint$};} \] \end{document} Whic...

I am currently reading "Modelling single-name and multi-name credit derivatives" by Dom O'Kane but I struggle at one point that should be relatively easy. Let us consider a Zero Recovery Risky Zero Coupon Bond, that is to say a bond that pays 1 in case there is no default $\tau > T$ (that is the ...

I started a new job as a senior developer five weeks ago. I have worked with a one of my colleagues and two of my managers at a previous company, so I'm not a totally unknown quantity at this new company. Within a few weeks I noticed that their code check-in had a few manual steps, which could be...

In this PDF, I read this line: This means that the bus can be thought of as acting like an AND gate: If any node writes a dominant (0) bit on the bus, every node will read a dominant bit regardless of the value written by that node. What does this mean? Like, the node has already written 0 on t...

I'm asking about a best practice - Salesforce gives us freedom here but we'd like to establish some sort of consistency in our team. Similar to the case size - although Apex is case-insensitive, it's recommended to write it with having camelCase in mind for variables/methods and PascalCase for cl...

IBM Watson's success in playing "Jeopardy!" was a landmark in the history of artificial intelligence. In the seemingly simpler game of "Twenty questions" where player B has to guess a word that player A thinks of by asking questions to be answered by "Yes/No/Hm" ChatGPT fails epically - at least ...

How can I add 1x4 tile steps to the bottom of the front opening in the gazebo model below? The base of the gazebo is a 10x10 octagonal plate (part 89523). I have tried using wedge and round plates but the studs on the base plate are too wide apart to fit the plates. I want to emulate the stair...

I'm designing page that has an alerts panel in relation to healthcare. I'm using a pale red to convey that action needs to be taken immediately, orange to show that something is due soon and green to show that it is up to date and no action needs to be taken. Originally, I had small icons (circle...

Let us consider a product paying an amount of 1 if default (τ<T that is the time of default arrives before maturity time), and 0 otherwise. The payoff of such a product would be given by: $$D(0, T) = E\left(\exp\left(-\int_0^\tau r(t)dt\right) \cdot \mathbb{1}_{\tau \leq T}\right)$$ Knowing that:...

Four forces of magnitudes P, 2P, 3P and 4P act along the four sides of a square ABCD in cyclic order. Use the vector method to find the resultant force. I tried solving this question in two ways and I got two different answers which differ only by a very small magnitude of approximately 0.1. Firs...

Let's say I'm a PC who would be excluded by a hallow effect, but I don't want my party members to know. I've been casting Magic Aura to hide the fact that I'm undead from the paladin. Our cleric has decided to hallow a small shrine, and asked the rest of the party to rest in the safe space. Does ...

My servers are currently have 25Gbps NIC, but switch ( Cisco Nexus 9300 series) has only 400Gbps. I would like to be able to break out the 400Gbps connection into four 25Gbps connections. Is this possible? If not, what are my other options?

I'm replacing a hard drive with a new one, and device I might as well go to a newer Windows 10 22H2 Pro. (I was on 1903..?) These are MSDN ISO's and keys. As I understand it, they are essentially identical to regular retail versions. So I started a fresh install, and turned off EVERYTHING dur...

Every dent is unique so I think it is ok to ask this question once more. I have a Stevens Superflight 2020 which has a dent on a frame: My plan is to create some carbon fiber sleeve around the dent, just to make it a bit stronger. Is it a reasonable solution?

We're just going to run a simple 120v 20amp branch circuit to a shed. 1/2" PVC conduit should be sufficiently large enough for #10/2 plus a #10 EGC. The shed is 140 ft away from a new 240v service panel that'll be installed in the house. We'd like to run stranded through 1/2" conduit. It'll be ...

I have been trying to avoid fast travelling in this game as much as I can, when I tried to leave the depths near Lookout Landing, I attempted to build a balloon vehicle to fly up towards the hole I entered from. Unfortunately the vehicle broke so I could not fly out. Another time I tried to use a...

My eyes widen, and I slowly turn toward the elderly gentleman standing at my side. In this sentence, before "standing", "who" is skipped why?

A Hausdorff space is called extremally disconnected or extreme, if for every open set $U$ the closure $\overline U$ is open, too. The question, whether there are extremally disconnected topological groups which are not discrete seems difficult, see Reznichenko, Evgenii; Sipacheva, Ol'ga Discrete...
