Honestly, its just a pick one and power through. I just look at the company backing it, the stars on Github, throw in a prayer, etc.

Tech: deploy as a VM. For starters, allow the client to configure the VM network interface before downloading it. (On the fly, mount the VM with qemu nbd or whatever and write to t…

!!!! My understanding went up several orders of magnitude! Thank you!!

Clinically, I can state that I am a live and let live person. Am not quoting that as a boon or bane. I suspect most people are. And this lot, while they can dig themselves out of p…

Kidney stones. Never again!

E = h*nu

You can say that again. The other day I was looking at proving the Pythagorean theorem in R_n. Merely starting the problem formally is non-trivial. :-(

Unless you have a background in solid mechanics, this is difficult to explain. On the outset, there are different failures possible, tensile, warping, etc. Under a load distributio…

Think about this: how should you fake it till you make it?

That is what I meant. I wanted to point out that sqrt is more expensive compared to squared and you could just square the whole thing without affecting the results too much. cos(th…

I am not thinking this through but since cos is monotonous between 0 and pi/2, you can avoid the square root by squaring the numerator and still have a good similarity indicator. T…

Dimples on golf balls help in inducing turbulence, not the other way. Turbulence in this case reduces drag significantly. This is a well known counter intuitive result in flu mech.…

Stressing each part of that sentence separately, I got five different meanings. English is a strange language.

Specifically with high energy light sources outside of the visible spectrum, how will the human driver know?
