The code provided here (where the workaround for gcd() issue isn't needed anymore, at least in pgfplots 1.18) does: work if the class used is e.g. article, not work if the class used is beamer. Indeed, the compilation of the following MCE: \documentclass{beamer} \usepackage{pgfplots} \pgfplotss...

From the simulation, I have got a region with a shape of a cucumber. Here are the boundary points of this region: points={{-51.8154, -7.87585}, {-51.4981, -9.07511}, {-50.7058, -10.0832}, {-49.6018, -4.74619}, {-48.2803, -11.4124}, {-46.9928, -3.77299}, {-45.6489, -3.47276}, {-44.2639, -3.22...

I'm trying to understand module classes that are defined as the kernels of higher Ext functors (e.g., arising here; as this paper suggests, I'm coming at this problem outside of module theory). One way to do this, of course, is to understand the higher Ext functors and then specialize to the cas...

Actual, recent usage I encountered a new term recently, referring to a person to be (or has been) baptized: the "baptizand". The context is this 2022 video Rebutting Gavin Ortlund on Baptismal Regeneration (minutes 16:38-17:12) where Gavin Ortlund used the term twice in the same paragraph: Two ...

A standard mysqldump will create a table, disable keys, insert the data, and re-enable keys. There are reasons for this. However, when a table is empty, the keys are still disabled and re-enabled.

I've been trying to figure out how to gather or group on a list of nested associated--and flailing. Here is a reduced example. I'm interested in performance as the is for a larger example and the operation will be repeated frequently. Consider: test = { <|"me" -> <|"a" -> 1, "id" -> 2|>, "...

Research suggests that a Mechitza is often implemented in a synagogue to prevent distractions and impure thoughts for men during prayer, which is understandable. However, it raises the question of why we assume that women would not experience similar impure thoughts. This is especially relevant i...

Imagine a civilization that approaches Kardashev II. They are deep into spacefaring, they live on a few less than one-hundred colonized worlds. They've not found evidence of other sapient life, so they believe they are alone in the galaxy. The unfortunate news is that this civilization is dying. ...

I want to use aggregating functions (min, max, mean, ...) on all the attributes (= columns) within a row. In this topic Finding the minimum value of different columns in QGIS, this is done by calling each attribute explicitly, e.g.: min('col_A', 'col_B', 'col_C') This works fine for a small numb...

Are there modern good lecture notes/book about Brill-Noether theory of curves. Most interesting theorems here are proved via limit linear series, which I found no lecture notes on (instead there is the original paper from the 80's which references several older papers and while well written is ha...

Been running a campaign using the ship rules as provided by Ghosts of Saltmarsh, but some confusion recently came up about the ship mounted weapons. While a siege weapon is an object and thus does not take in a creature's dexterity, assuming I am correct about that, is that the same case with a s...

Just as underwhelm/overwhelm exist without any usage of 'whelmed' (generally speaking) I'm wondering if there's any adverb ending in -ly without an adjectival counterpart (or that has dropped out of usage). For example where 'he walked XYZly' is recognisable, correct, or common for this or some o...

I am replacing a Microwave/Oven combo. The circuit is 50 amps and 6 AWG wire runs to the back of the oven cabinet. When the old oven was installed, I assume they used the wiring that came with the oven which was 10 AWG in flexible conduit, wire-nutted to the #6. Was this proper? It was that w...

If we try Sort[] with meaningless order-function like Sort[{3, 2, 1}, True] or, Sort[{3, 2, 1}, False] gives {3, 2, 1}, i.e., Sort[] does not do anything. For the former case, I think it is natural because every comparison of two elements returns True, but what about the latter case? I tried th...

I'm potentially asking quite a stupid set of questions here but I'm wondering if there is some overarching theory about why angles, and "rotational" quantities which deal with them, have such strange properties (to me - I might just have overthought this and confused myself). Firstly, I understan...

Suppose I have the following equation, where r(x) and y(x) are functions of x. r(x)y(x) = y(x)r'(x) My understanding is that we can divide both sides by y(x), only if we know that y(x) != 0 for all values of x. If that's not necessarily the case, my understanding is we need to consider both case...

In ECDSA, if Alice wants to send a message to Bob, she computes $s=k^{-1}(z+rd_A)$. I was thinking that the formula could simply be $s=k^{-1}zrd_A$ and the algorithm would work just as well, and the verification would be simpler, because the recipient would just have to calculate $X=s^{-1}zrQ_A$ ...

Let $G$ be a group acting doubly-transitively on a set $X$. Then the vector space $V_X$ of functions $f\colon X\to\mathbb C$ with finite support such that $\sum_{x\in X}f(x)=0$ carries an action of $G$. Is $V_X$ necessarily irreducible? Is it indecomposable? When $G$ is finite, then there is an...

I have read that the modern tendency is to translate a modern person's personal name into Latin but not his surname. So John Doe would be translated as Ioannes Doe. This seems sensible at face value, for people to understand who you are talking about, but it seems very complicated when you actual...

In a cursory reading of the last part of the chapter 9 in Daniel, one does not see any word that resembles the title "Antichrist"! Yet many prophecy books write about the Antichrist to come, spoken of in Daniel 9. Whole series of sermons are dedicated to this man in modern pulpits, especially pu...

For some mathematics project I'm trying to draw a basket as sketched in the picture below, I've gotten some of the lines of the basket in, see picture below after the MWE, however I'm still struggeling to get some of the shading right, mainly on the handle.

One of the questions in my homework was to draw HSO3-, which I thought to be pretty easy. Sulfer is the least electronegative (except Hydrogen but it can't be the central atom), hence it is the Central atom. Then I drew out the structure with the hydrogen single bonded, 2 oxygen double bonded and...

I just finished refereeing a paper in math. The paper was completely incorrect and unsalvageable. The authors (very senior) made a trivial mistake (confusing two definitions) and the rest of the paper was simply incorrect. I wrote a long and constructive report with some literature to review. Out...

I have noticed HVAC vacuum pumps come in CFM ranging 3-10 (maybe wider). What determines whether you need more CFM, is it the size of your system (tons) or the poundage of refrigerant, the length of lineset or perhaps the vertical difference between the low and high point in your system. Can a sm...

I'm sorry, but I have no idea when I read it. It could be 10-20 years ago. I also have no idea where I read it, thought it was probably an e-book collection called "Polaris Sci-fi CD library" ("Polarisova SF biblioteka CD" in Serbian) from late 90s, but I guess that's not too helpful, and I'm eve...

I have a functioning electronic project I made as a hobby using SN74LS161 4 bit counters and SN74LS08 quad AND gates. I replaced the counters with SN74F161 which are supposed to be faster but have the same logic levels of LS series and yet it doesn't work with the 74LS08 AND gates. Why is that?

Let $0\to F^{\bullet}\to E^{\bullet}\to G^{\bullet}\to 0$ be a short exact sequence of chain complexes of vector spaces. Denote by $v_E$, $v_F$ and $v_G$ the differentials.

A digit addition generator of an integer n is any integer x that satisfy the equation x + s(x) = n, with s(x) being the sum of the digits of x. (We will work under base 10 for convenience.) For example, a digit addition generator for 29 would be 19, because 19 + (1 + 9) = 29. Some numbers have mo...

Let $G$ be a topological (or simplicial) group, let $X$ and $Y$ be $G$-spaces, and let $f,f':X\to Y$ be $G$-maps which are homotopic as maps of spaces. In general, $f$ and $f'$ may (of course) fail to be equivariantly homotopic. For instance, we can just take $X$ to be a point and $Y$ to be any p...
