The thing is, back when Kazakhstan was a Soviet republic, Kazakhs (and other muslims) only accounted for about a half of population, the other half was made of christian Russians, Germans and Ukrainians. [1] Now demographics has changed an

Kazakhstan is NOT an "muslin republic", never was, and the current unrest has absolutely nothing related to religion.

Mine too, but you cannot solve that one in one tweet, so it does not fit the subject.

That was the first thing I noticed too. Apparently, the reason for that is to have these nice properties: > This set of five dice is similar to other sets of dice we have seen, in that we have a chain where Blue>Magenta>Olive>Re

Two questions: who is Travis Downs, and why he decided to re-implement 'size' method with different name 'count_nodes' and O(N) complexity?

You just cannot stick with version 10 when your major competitor goes all the way to 11 ;)

Nah, too close, they will go farther north, I think. Point Reyes is my bet.

Russian “gorchitsa” was mentioned in the article and even named a personal favorite: > Zakuson Gourmet Mustard The actual name is "тещина горчица" = "mother-in-law mustard", it's not for the weak of heart indeed

You shouldn't stop reading - they are mentioned in 5th paragraph, literally (as in "income" and "savings")

Quite strange that the article does not mention Clarke's Rendezvous with Rama (which were published just 2 years before that "summer study", by the way) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rendezvous_with_Ram

The last time I studied chess in any serious way was like 40 years ago. All I can answer is which side has their turn to move in "returned" position, but the fine details of whether they have to make that move or can claim a draw

That's not a sin graph, though, but 2 semi-circles.

Rob is right that in RGB cube 3 points always form a triangle. However, that color space does not include "true" purple (or violet), which is defined as light with shorter-than-blue wavelength, it only includes magenta = red + blu

According to what I could google, red sensitivity curve does have a left bump: https://www.researchgate.net/figure/Normalized-spectral-sens... So this is not a misunderstanding, but the real reason why magenta (red+blu

When I try to visualize 3 types of sensors (without left hump), I get a straight line not a triangle - that is technically still a (zero area) triangle, but inherently NOT "cyclic". Looks like you are mixing together magenta (red+

Apparently, the diagram on Wikipedia page is not correct (either outdated or oversimplified). According to what I could google, the research does show a hump in L-cones sensitivity at violet colors, for example: https://www.yorku

by Miiko 5y ago
Ok, think I got it, the confusion is how we define "purple". Yes, if we define it as "magenta" = mixture of red and blue, then it is pretty obvious that it would be closer to red than green and, of course, the left hump

You got me confused. In the original comment you wrote: > I disagree with the reasoning that purple looks closer to red than green because of the "left hump" but now you argue: > The red cones are stimulated because of that

by Miiko 5y ago
> Red green and blue form a triangle, which is essentially cyclic. But the question then - why wavelength R=700, G=550 and B=450 form a triangle? For your answer on Quora, it says "Hue is cyclical rather than linear" without an

by Miiko 5y ago
Not sure I follow your arguments. Red sensitivity curves on the page you linked do have "left hump" (and 2 of answers there directly attribute closeness of red and purple to them). Could you please explain how 3 types of cones can
