    I just recently learned about Dorico's VST support and was considering trying it out as an alternative to the workflow I'm using now (compose in musescore, export to logic and then…

    I just spent a couple of hours playing with the nolly trial and it's awesome, lots of fun. Definitely getting some 5150 vibes from several of the presets, I believe it

    awesome, thanks for the breakdown! Any experience with Plini? It seems to be the closest to Nolly, and from a cursory look it seems people generally like it better. I suppose I'll …

    wow, I was literally just about to download the trial for the archetype nolly (after being iffy on whether the fortin nameless was right for what I wanted), what are the chances it…

    Agreed, at some point I've used something from all three of those and they're all great! I've seen a surprising amount of great stuff from smaller universities too iirc, if you goo…

    Even better is to look up the undergrad/grad curriculum from a university and then look at the course webpages (many universities still publish their course materials available to …

    Ah yup you're right, I read your sentence too fast, whoops. The most likely location is at the nucleus, but the most likely radius (integrating over all angles) is at 1 bohr radius…

    Are you forgetting a Jacobian? The maximum probability isn't inside the nucleus for an s-orbital. E.g. for hydrogen, the maximum probability for the electron is one bohr radius awa…

    I think it's pretty typical, at least in physics. Every offer I had/that I have heard of was around 30k, I've only heard of one that was around ~24k iirc

    FYI they are totally different "singlets", a singlet exciton refers to the spin state of the particle (as opposed to a triplet exciton, which has a different total spin). A singlet…

    There are definitely papers in physics that are well-known to be wrong. I know of results published in high-profile journals where the authors have stated (in person, but not offic…

    Just FYI, the idea that Nature Communications is inherently "untrustworthy" is completely unfounded, you can't take a quick look at rankings or briefly skim a wikipedia page and ge…

    It's a chalcogen vacancy, a very common type of defect in these materials. These materials are called transition metal dichacogenides, so they have the form MX2, where M is a metal…

    By promoting hard-hitting contact sports to youth, and issuing equipment that doesn't do a good job at protecting the head? Even considering the underreporting with young, high sch…

    Pretty sure that no one will see this, but just to make a correction in case someone does, the new battery was totally covered even though the machine was out of warranty, and I dr…

    So far I've had a good experience with Kubuntu on an old Lenovo ideapad from ~7 years ago, after throwing a new SSD in to replace the old HDD. Everything so far has worked out of t…

    Never heard of this before, but from what I just listened to it sounds pretty great, very ambient. It's kind of weird that it's so old, it was published on vinyl in 1970, and accor…

    Definitely a great resource, but (thankfully) it's almost completely redundant in a lot of fields. I'm willing to bet almost no one in my department has ever actually used it, or e…

    Okay, I'm familiar with that. I get it, everyone's got their own limits on what they can make light of. And sure, ditto.

    I know several people who fit that criterion. I didn't say it wasn't rude, crass, impolite, or ignorant. I said that I don't think it counts as a hate crime, and that it doesn't fi…

    Oh okay, I actually misremembered what I had seen, I thought it was just the saluting thing. I just checked the original again[1], and that being said I still don't see how this is…

    To be honest I know nothing about law enforcement in the EU, but the one thing I have heard about in recent memory is that guy who made a video of his girlfriend's dog saluting hit…
