Does the word Vaishnava appear even once in Srimad Bhagavatam? Has anyone come across the term in Srimad Bhagavatam?

With the recent announcement of the PS5 Pro and the reveal that the console won't even include a disk drive at the launch price of "just" $699.99, scalpers have obviously already started cleaning up every stock on the globe in what looks like yet another chapter in Sony pathetic management of i...

It seems that MS-DOS was primarily written in assembly even in its last versions. I understand that new versions of Windows such as the NT-based versions currently in use, and Windows 95 ..

There was today an announcement from Unity that they are canceling the runtime fee (besides some other changes to the payment model). But the article itself does not mention what the runtime fee is/ was.

I can prepare a state $|1\rangle|x\rangle|0\rangle$ using HHL. How do I prepare $|1\rangle|x\rangle|0\rangle+|0\rangle|y\rangle|0\rangle$ or simply $|1\rangle|x\rangle|0\rangle+|0\rangle|0\rangle|0\rangle$ in quantum circuit? Edit: $|1\rangle|x\rangle|0\rangle$ must be prepared with HHL algorith...

It is widely known and reported that the 1963 definition of ASCII had ↑ and ← at positions 0x5E and 0x5F. Soon after these were changed to ^ and _ and so they remain. The first terminal I ever used was a Teletype model 33: The shift-N and shift-O did indeed print ↑ and ←, as advertised on the k...

Sfas Emes begins his commentary on Parshat Noach, according to Sefaria, by saying "I do not properly remember." All the other Parshas begin with some variation of "B'H". Why does he say this here? Is it possible the translation of Sefaria is incorrect?

How does the Torah's command to obliterate Amalek, due to their attack on the Israelites during the Exodus (Shemos 17:8-16, Devarim 25:17-19), align with the principle that "children shall not die for their fathers' sins" (Devarim 24:16)?

I have come up with an sorting algorithm that looks like $O(n \log \log n)$. Could anyone help to find if it is already commonly known or worth anything?

I wanted to ask for help with a concept in quantum mechanics that I don't understand.
