1. Uncertainty in the speed, direction, position. 2. Uncertainty in the model (e.g. influence of external bodies besides the sun and earth). Kinematic motion models are exact but o…

This is typical in other fields of engineering. Details and best methods for running advanced design tools, some of the most advanced engineering knowledge, etc, are not found onli…

This is just an ad for an RSS reader.

Might not be much of a production line. Very big, very slow, sensitive to weather conditions. What do you do about all the scattered light? The guy in the picture is wearing goggle…

The world doesn't revolve around web development. It's not the only use case. Scientific Python is huge and benefits tremendously from the language being faster. If Python can be 1…

Any sort of hardware or software error seems much more likely. Computers are incredibly complex and approximations are used everywhere (in the design of the hardware, in the theory…

> I’m happy enough to be putting books out in the world, making this community better, having a physical space, challenging myself, etc…as long as I don’t lose lots of money, that’…

Their observations of nature and their ability to predict stuff should be consistent with ours. They might not use the same mathematical tools or the same physical models, but they…

Nobody knows, full stop. We can guess and conjecture about what should and should not be possible with respect to the origins of life, but really, we know very little. So it's not …

It's an important distinction. A lot of people would like to think electrons orbit the nucleus like planets orbit a star.

Spherical harmonics are a useful mathematical basis set for eigenfunctions of a Schrodinger equation describing a hydrogen atom like system. There's nothing particularly special ab…

You'd have to also include plain English instructions on how to read the QR code, since the QR code format probably won't be around in the future either. As for reading the instruc…

Once you've got the waveforms as arrays, what do you need the ASCII rendering for? Instead of diffing ASCII-rendered waveforms, save the arrays and diff the arrays (and then use an…

You need more than a first approximation.

For #2: I tried it, downloaded the large file and installed. Then on launch, it couldn't find any JupyterLab install from my Conda environments, and it asked me to find it. I just …

I use JupyterLab professionally and have never been able to get VSCode notebooks working at the same level. For example, simple bracket highlighting doesn't work in the VSCode note…

That didn't end up happening.
