I just realized that I (and all previous mods) were still listed as owners.
I don't think that should have been the case, so I removed myself together with the old mods.

In the aviation world, they don't use AM/PM times. Instead, all times are assumed to be AM unless they're labeled NOTAM.

Local start-up did an oopsie:
lost control (unclear exactly how) of their blimp and as a consequence the airport (that was downwind) got closed for a few hours.
airport is not happy.

fully agree.
that's also why I try to find the original, don't want to reward click-baity behaviour

quick terminology question: when having an equation with a plus/minus sign (think the quadratic solution), how can I easily refer to the version using the sign on the bottom?
Is it ok if I say "lower solution"? Or should I explicitly refer to it as positive/negative?

I am having an accuracy issue.
Given point A and B on the WGS84 ellipsoid, I solve the indirect problem.
Given the indirect problem solution, if I try to find B from A, I end up a couple hundred meters off (AB geodetic distance being about 335km in my case).

I am using Vincenty's formulas given in http://www.ngs.noaa.gov/PUBS_LIB/inverse.pdf

Of course this comes from the truncation of the series.
Can I ask if there are better/more accurate solutions around?
Should I ask on the main site, or is this off topic for the site?

This question is similar to: Arc Length of an Exponential Function. If you believe it’s different, please edit the question, make it clear how it’s different and/or how the answers on that question are not helpful for your problem. — Anne Bauval 28 mins ago

Oct 7, 2024 10:55
can someone explain me this? how is parametrization and arc length computation equivalent? why is that question being suggested as duplicate?

fair, but I don't need that level of detail
Federico
Oct 16, 2023 15:33
sure, but to simplify (i.e. ignoring the different OS), running the same code will take longer if you can only do 10 operations per second vs if you can do 1000. I'd like to have some real values instead of "10" and "1000"
Federico
Oct 16, 2023 15:29
if you want some backstory: I need to convince people that have no formal nor practical education or experience in the CS field. And I need to help them visualize (with actual values) that the performance they get on an i7 can't be the same they get on a powerPC.
Federico

this chat channel seems to be somewhat active, so I am asking here (I'd ask on the CS.SE channel, but the last message there was 90 days ago)

I need some numbers to quantify the difference in computing power between different CPUs (across very different architectures)

Where should I ask "how to do that"? I am not asking for someone to make the "ranking" or give me the numbers, but how to get such numbers.
I guess one would compare the Flops? Are they published anywhere? Or people compute flops by other means?

I hope it is ok to ask here.
I am looking for a sci-fi (adjacent) building/craft to replicate in minecraft for a project of mine.
Ideally it is something with proportions close to 1x1x2, with the "2" being the height.

For the moment I have considered a WH40k necron (doomsday) monolith, but I'd like to hear, if possible, other alternatives.

thanks
