Everyone in my (US) family slams doors to close them, it drives me nuts. The whole building shakes. I blame the spherical door knobs, their design and appearance invites just pushing/pulling the door without gently grabbing and turning

This 2003 paper shows a very close match based on ESO Paranal observations: https://www.eso.org/public/news/eso0307/ and this paper from 2016 also has very close mass estimation (see table 1) https:/&#x

It will take 4 months to be effective, and there will be lots of lawsuits and obstacles. We'll see what happens. On a personal note I had the most insane experience moving from California to Colorado and being offered a most extreme no

I ended decades of hayfever crises by breathing in deeply and repeating a mantra that I accept the cosmos. Used to get annual steroid shots since childhood, then tried antihistamines tablets for a few more years, but both had nasty side eff

In case you wonder how landlocked Switzerland would be so involved in such marine work, ABB is a Swedish-Swiss corporation and the pictures were clearly taken in the Baltic Sea (in the Gulf of Bothnia or Gulf of Finland).

There is a dreamlike quality to the exuberant color of their flowers. I fell in love with LA in parts because of that. The trees in some streets line long stretches. Every year I'm stunned. When I told that to an old-hand Hollywood wri

Yes, it's better to stay put for quite a while, the roads and highways will be stupidly full as almost everyone rushes to leave the moment totality is over. Then party through the night after the eclipse, share with others what struck

We plan on being in low-population SW TX (somewhat NW of the path), and the evening before we'll evaluate and pick an optimal sunny location to view totality; we'll have hours to drive a bit South or a bit East to get to the right

Rust's "enum" mechanism is really an algebraic data type, and corresponds to Ada's enumeration types when applied as discriminants in variant record types . But Ada's enumeration types have a wider context of use,

Ada has excellent enumeration types, and subtypes, and compile-time checking of case statement coverage for enum values, and an optional representation mechanism to control the binary value for each (symbolic) enum value. I'm not awar
