Direct link to (zipped) PDF: https://www.celnav.de/astro.zip This is probably the most thorough and concise guide to celnav I've encountered, but it leans very technical. Just wanted to share.

Actually, some of the research they base their advice on was performed on elementary school students, and college classrooms which had poor attendance; ie, not the most engaged students. Simple things like giving elementary students an ungr

The book Make It Stick by Brown, Roediger and McDaniel is helpful. tl;dr of it is: - lots of low-stakes quizzing and practice - spaced repetition - reflect on what you've learned and what you could do better next time, and apply thes

Anytime, and thank you for the rec, I just ordered it. I might also suggest to you "Make It Stick" (by Brown, Roediger, and McDaniel) if you are ever in want in another book on pedagogy.

These days a lot of them will nag you if you don't connect them to the internet and only use them as a dumb display.

Sorry, last thing: https://www.starpath.com/catalog/books/1992.htm This is a workbook and records the data used for navigation by sextant to Hawai'i. Good for practice.

All that being said, honestly I'd just review trigonometry a little and pick up a copy of Celestial in the GPS Age and fill in the gaps from there.

Well you can actually go an easier route, it just depends on whether you want to do it kind of mechanically or want to get intimate with all the workings of it. You can use HO 229/249 sight reduction tables and avoid a lot of fuss. Per

Interesting bit of trivia, Greenspan was in Ayn Rand's inner circle and read her drafts of Atlas Shrugged as it was being written, and they were close friends until her death.

Logs are awesome. I started a math textbook from the 1920's a while ago, and all the calculations relied on tabulated logs, where you would convert the number to a log in a table to reduce the operation's degree, then convert back

Good. Intel's equivalent processors have this feature and BS market segmentation is the kind of thing that AMD was historically against. Even if something wasn't officially supported, they didn't go out of their way to preven

There has to be a better way of representing a population than our current system. There is just no way you can represent real, complex, demographics in a fair and proportional way -- there are an unlimited number of ways to categorize peop

A sudden outbreak of common sense. I'm genuinely surprised this was a unanimous decision and that it was being argued by the ACLU, which normally takes a dim view of 2A.

Ridiculous because AMD built their reputation off of avoiding BS market segmentation like this. It's ironic that the equivalent Intel model has this feature. This has implications beyond simply securing against physical access attacks,

Things like this can actually be a good way to nudge a company in the right direction sometimes. Nobody uses those internal review systems, and sometimes their stats are actually important. A handful of users might make up a really big chun

We got the mpreg emoji instead of a chainsaw, which makes me feel like we need an emoji lobbying group for things like sex, drugs, sawed-off shotguns and jury nullification.
