素になった途端に一回もニコリもしないの何? The character revealed his true personality, and one of the other character commented this. My reading is "After becoming honest/exposing your true personality, you didn't smile once" I suppose in contrast to before where he smiles a lot. But what function does の何 here adds?

SULFNBK.EXE is an executable file that came with Windows 98 and Millennium, and is known for sporting a pretty… interesting icon in the former: It has also become pretty infamous for being subject to a virus hoax directing users to delete the file; the virus claim was likely prompted by the unus...

I am thinking of perhaps the earliest direct quotation of it, or reference to it by name or at least in some manner in which it is clear that the Talmud itself is being described. Essentially, I am curious as to what the earliest evidence there is for someone having direct external knowledge of t...

Fill in each square of the grid with a number from $1$ to $16$, using each number exactly once. Numbers at the left or top give the largest sum of two numbers in that row or column. Numbers at the right or bottom give the largest difference of two numbers in that row or column.

I made some changes that, after testing, I decided not to use for now. Thus I don't want them in the main branch. However, I don't want to discard them altogether (maybe I will need them later?) What should I do? The easiest option is to commit them and immediately revert (don't laugh). I suspect...

I came across many definitions of the precision of a measuring instrument such as, "a precise measuring tool is one that can measure values in very small increments" and "The precision of the instrument that is used to take a measurement is reflected in the smallest measure that the instrument ca...

We are currently self payers for medical services. We found that many providers have trouble dealing with this and in particularly it's very difficult to get proper documentation of the services rendered and the payment received for it (which honestly should be a no-brainer).

I am build an inverter with the EGS002 board, which has a SPWM carrier frequency of 23.4 KHz. In my mind the logic is that the transformer winding, material and size should be calculated using the carrier frequency, not the 60Hz that it will output since the variations on the magnetic field will ...

Let $F$ be a field and $A$ a finite abelian group. You can ask: does the regular representation $F[A]$ of $A$ split as a direct sum of 1-dimensional representations? This is equivalent to the following question. Write $(-)^\vee = \hom(-, F^\times)$ for the dual abelian group; then the question is...

The standard text of a credit card agreement implies American express can terminate the agreement at any time. Problem is, you already gave credit. As an example, if I give someone a loan, I can't "take back" the loan. A line of credit is no different from a loan. If a customer has a line of cred...

I am currently working on the differential equation: $$ x \frac{d^2y}{dx^2} + \frac{1}{2} \frac{dy}{dx}+ \frac{1}{4} y = 0 $$ During a brief discussion with an expert, I was advised to try expressing the solution in the form $y=f\cdot g$, where $f=x^n$. The suggestion was to rewrite the equation ...

Here's what the person was saying: The combo led+resistor will use LESS energy compared to a led only, for the same applied voltage. (Because energy is proportional to power which is current times voltage). Imagine a very simple circuit that just had a 3V battery and an LED that could handle up...

Let's say someone said "This film (from Studio A) didn't have the same magic as other (Studio A) films", do they mean if that movie was all the same like other films with no charm, or that movie was worse than other films with charm?

So too the Jewish people are like gold that needed ...

In David Tong's Lecture "Quantum Field Theory" - Lecture 2, he said that "In Quantum mechanics, position is the dynamical degree of the particle which get changed into an operator but in Quantum Field Theory, the position will be just considered as label" So, I was wondering why?

In my email, there is this sentence: We wish you a very safe and healthy start to 2024. Start here is a verb, and wish is a verb too, but there isn't a conjunction word between them. So how to understand this sentence? How about We wish you a very safe and healthy from 2024?

I am trying to understand why large amounts of censoring (ie. many patients are censored) is undesirable in Survival Analysis.

Following the recent revelations about the absurd practice of insisting that zero is an even number (ha!), I have just learned, to my utter disbelief, that so-called mathematicians define a fraction using the symbol m/n where m and n can be any integers!!

If a man is cursed like Cain or Canaan, can he have righteous sons? Did Cain have righteous sons?

I've been pondering some stuff on Shtetl Optimized where Yedidia and Aaronson construct Turing machines that will only halt if (e.g.) the Riemann Hypothesis is false, or Goldbach's conjecture is false. The significance is that if you took the number of states in one of these machines, and knew t...

If I have a range from 0-N (0,1,2,3...N) and I want to cover that set with some number of Sidon sets, is there a tighter bound than N for how many sets I would need.

For decision vector $x$, I have a constraint that either $x\leq0$ or $x\geq5$, that is, all positive entries must be at least 5. Is there a way to cast this under LP? The problem is already a mixed-integer program, so introducing binary/integer auxiliary variables are ok, if necessary. I tried to...

I'm planning a return trip from Latour-de-Carol to Toulouse next week.

Rice's theorem asserts that as soon as $f$ is non-trivial (i.e., non-constant), and extensional (i.e., $f(M) = f(M')$ as soon as $M$ and $M'$ are codes of Turing machines with the same behavior, in the sense that both halt and return the same output or both don't halt), $f$ is uncomputable.

Torsion tensor $T$ associated with an affine connection $\nabla$ on a smooth manifold is defined as a (0,2) tensor field as follows: $$T(X,Y) := \nabla_XY-\nabla_YX-[X,Y]$$ I understand that this is set to zero by the choice of the Levi-Civita connection, but I've read that the following conditio...

In English, diphthongs are single phonemes, and monolingual English speakers hear them as a single vowel. However, this does not mean that English speakers will hear all diphthongs in other languages as single sounds. Is there any research on which diphthongs English speakers perceive as single s...

In the Schengen visa application, we've mentioned that we'll travel to Iceland for 7 days. However, the visa issued is for almost a month's duration. We're returning from Iceland via Switzerland (layover as per original plans), but since the visa is valid for a month, we thought it would be nice ...

Let $X$ be a Banach space and let $Z$ be a closed subspace of $X^*$ such that $Z\neq X^*$. Suppose $Z$ separates the points in $X$, that is, if $x \in X$ and $x^*(x) = 0$ $\forall x^* \in Z$ then $x = 0$. Prove that $X$ is not reflexive, i.e. that the canonical injection $J_X$: $X$ $\rightarrow$ ...

In summery I have a Netgear GS724TPv2 switch that has a support PC attached to port 1. I have a Trunk line coming into the switch via port 23 (T) which sits across VLAN 131, 132, 133. Currently I have port 1 untagged "U" on VLAN 131, 132 and 133 (all VLANS sit across the same subnet range), howev...

I was hoping to remove the mouldy silicone from the edge of my shower tray, but once I started to remove it have discovered that it’s actually filling a very large gap between the tray and the tiled wall. I don’t think I can dig it all out - but have started to remove it already. What do I do?

Let $F:\mathbb{R}^m \to\mathbb{R}^m, F:=(F_1\dots F_m)$ be a regular map, i.e. with components $F_i$ that are polynomials. Assume further that each $F_i$ is an odd degree (say $d$) homogenous polynomial. We denote this by saying that $F$ is a homogeneous, odd degree, regular map of degree $d.$ Qu...

I use Parmesan rind in my sauces and soups – it adds a wonderful depth. My problem, particularly with the chunky tomato sauce I like to make, is removing the rind before serving. The rind doesn't disintegrate – sometimes it holds its' shape and is easy to pick out but often it breaks up into blob...
