Truly, you never really know which pair of particles came from a specific decay, and which come from some other processes and just happen to line up with the mass/energy you're looking at. Fortunately, for most particles, the comb

I've been a software engineer for the better part of a decade now. My areas of focus during that time have been NLP, messaging, teaching, politics, and now data analysis and processing around criminal justice.

The answer is you don't measure the particle directly, but instead measure its byproducts. I spent my graduate career studying the Upsilon meson, which is a particle dominated by two valence bottom quarks. The Upsilon exists for a simi

Quick feedback: the text of the main button on the page to sign up is too long on mobile. It wraps the button itself around (not just the text inside the button) and partially renders over itself on mobile, making it hard to read.

Two things to note: 1) This is due to power consumption while idle, not overall power consumption. Nor is it a new regulation. [1] 2) This isn't just California. These same regulations apply in Colorado, Hawaii, Washington, Oregon, and

I use a vertical mouse and I've mapped the extra buttons on it to allow for easier navigation without using the keyboard. It has two buttons near the thumb rest. I've mapped one to be shift so I can hold it to make the scroll whee

I've had an on-again-off-again relationship with Habitica. Having other party members really helps with motivation. However, I fell off once our party lead stepped back and quests stopped. I did use it while ignoring the game part for

I'm not even sure it's that. The stated metric is how much prices have risen since May 2020. So it is the year-over-year change, but the baseline is a very weird covid-May.

Agreed! I have a keyboard full of OS-level macros and I've rebound the extra buttons on my mouse to ctrl+c, ctrl+v, and enter. If I'm leaning back and browsing through docs, I want to be able to move text around and execute comman

Think about it this way: every time Google shows that to you, it's taking a bit of PU's budget that's not being spent on a receptive audience.

These things are anything but distraction-free. There was a MASSIVE ecosystem around TI games in my high school. I definitely spent multiple classes playing Tetris on my calculator. Or running a drug empire.

Maybe the very NW is lucky and can use St Paul. I know that places like Madison and Plattville go to MKE and back. It seems we did indeed close the Madison sorting facility in '14 as well as other supporting regional facilities. As par

I think most of them did since the same issue would be marked on the tracker for multiple days in a row. In reality, FB is just being highly transparent with issues and I should applaud them, but that's a lot of yellow and red.
