Sram says that their quick links should only be used once. I've installed new chains, had to shorten them and have broken the link more than once doing so. I've also continued to reuse them when doing things like removing the chain for a deep cleaning without any problems. I'm wondering if this...

I am using \sim as a binary operator and was wondering which of the following two was correct: \documentclass{article} \begin{document} \[a \sim b\] \[a \mathrel{\sim} b\] \end{document} which prompted the more general question: how to know if \mathrel is needed with a particular symbol...

This is a simple hash table I've written in C. It is a closed-addressing hash table with TABLE_SIZE number of buckets.

We are given that $A$ is symmetric and positive definite, and $B$ is such that $A-B-B^T$ is also symmetric and positive definite. We are asked to show that $C=-(A-B)^{-1} B$ has spectral radius less than 1, i.e. its eigenvalues are all between -1 and 1. I know that positive definite implies all e...

Someone posted this excerpt on social media: Freedom in Judaism is defined by the ability of the soul to rule over the body, the capacity of the mind to channel the emotions of the heart.

In ChemFig, the "bond join=true" option does not work with "cram" bonds (see A, it is zoomed at join).

In thermodynamics, it is frequently said that work and heat are path functions with inexact differentials $\delta Q$, $\delta W$, so one can not talk about a change in work or a change in heat since they are not state properties of the system. If so, why do I usually find power defined as the der...

Why can't we see light from beyond the observable universe? I've done a lot of research on this and all I've found is unsatisfactory answers and straight up nonsense.

Most airplanes have a rudder on top of the tail. When it is turned to the left, it causes the plane to yaw to the left.

Since the time it takes for the earth to complete one rotation about itself (i.e., the time we call "day") is not constant, then the angular speed is also not constant, that is, there is a non-zero angular acceleration. What is the corresponding torque(s) causing this angular accelaration?

I'm having some doubts that I cannot solve about this "conundrum", if I can call it like so. Consider $f(x) = \sqrt{x}$. Now we all know that $\sqrt{0} = 0$, hence the square root is well defined at $x = 0$. $f$ is continuous at $x = 0$ because $\lim_{x\to 0} \sqrt{x} \equiv f(0) = 0$. But now I ...

So the old woman explains that in place of her dead husband her kid has been helping. Then she says the kid won't settle into a home much but I assume この時節 in "these occasions" but how does なほうだろうと here actually work? I take something is being omitted

Question on focus and landscape. So how come when some people take photos of the landscape, why do they not use like a low f Stop like f32 because wouldn't you want everyone in focus because it's a landscape? But quite a lot of people use fstop like f16 and f11, so it wouldn't all be in focus ? I...

Let $X$ be a noetherian regular scheme over $\mathbb{F}_{p}$. Then by Kunz's theorem, the absolute Frobenius $F: X\rightarrow X$ is flat and integral. Can it be written as a projective limit of finite flat morphisms?

Because I read several times some questions about "XYZ Math & Geometry Nodes", I decided to answer my own questions with this small post. Since a couple of time I´m working on a project to generate parametric objects, based on mathematical equations in Blender Geometry Nodes. As a mathematical du...

Suppose someone is involved in a self-defense altercation where the other party ends up dead. As far as I understand this could result in one of the following outcomes: The police investigate and a DA determines that no crime occurred unofficially (the issue is dropped) The DA issues a Nolle pr...

Intuitively it seems that to get a function back that was integrated, you would take the derivative. Instead, with the Fourier Transform we take an area under a curve of a modified function, and to get the function back we again take the area under a modified resulting curve. I am trying to more ...

Do doctors earn merit on a regular basis as a result of their good acts of treating and curing illnesses of their patients? Is their profession an excellent one because of their chance to earn merit?

I have a question about the proof of lemma 2.14 in Macdonald's paper The Poincaré Series of a Coxeter Group [1], where he used induction on $l(w)$ to prove that if $|E|=|R(w)|$, then $E=R(w)$. The induction step writes $w=w's_\beta$ for some $l(w')=l(w)-1$ and $s_\beta$ is a simple reflection. Ma...
