Also watch this please if you ever do plots using colormaps: https://youtu.be/xAoljeRJ3lU About the perceptual uniform, colorblind friendly colormaps in matplotlib since 1.5. Now also adapted by most other plotting tools.

This ja why it is now a language feature. Every python implementation that claims python 3.7 compatability must implement this. The other why around is also true, code that relies on it must specify that it requires python >= 3.7

Missing value treatment is one of the major improvements in the upcoming pandas 1.0, including Integer, boolean and string column types with proper missing value support.

Now with telemetry on windows! Otherwise a much needed standardization effort for model interoperability and serialization.

If you buy goods instead of producing them, the emissions are shifted largely to the producing country. It s therefore important to look at the footprint of imported and exported goods.

Units don't matter for formulas of quantitites. For electrical formulas the unit system matters, but not the units. lambda = c / f Is true for any combination of units.

Because more more and more people realize that using closed source, proprietary programming languages and libraries is not compatible with open, reproducible science.

The assumption is wrong, plain and simple. Nothing behaves like the classical concept of particle or wave. There are edge cases where this is the case, and this is the reason the classical theories were and are still successful. And then th

The mirror has to move out of the way and the aperture must close to the chosen value.

Not a matter of personal thinking. Just read the latest IPCC special report on the oceans.

700g are 700g. So no, the dark matter inside Earth has basically 0 effect on Earth.

There should be and we are looking for it. Several experiments are looking for WIMPs or other proposed particles on Earth or in the solar system. But the amount us tiny, current estimates of the dark matter density in the Milky Way result i

Proven is the wrong word. You cannot prove a theory. Deriving a description of gravity from first principles would be more appropriate

TeX/LaTeX is a rich ecosystem that has grown over a long time. Over the last couple of years, pdftex, xetex and luatex have coexisted and pdftex was the stable choice and the other two were functional but in beta stage. In the last yea

We basically see a blob of light from which we can deduce origin, energy and particle type of the particle that created the air shower. If you have multiple telescopes observing the air showers this gets much better. MAGIC uses two 17m tel

We already did learn that. QED describes a photon perfectly mathematically. There is just now word that maps that to ordinary terms.

For the satellites all data is publicly available as required by NASA. Unfortunately all ground based telescopes until now keep their data private but nothing is thrown away ;) We have several Million air showers recorded. This is going to

This is not really how things work. We are talking about single particles of light having energies between ~ 50 GeV and up to 10 TeV (for this GRB, other sources go even higher). At these energies, the atmosphere is completely opaque and th

Doesn't really make sense to speak of wavelengths at these energies any more. For all intents and purposes, these are particles. The energies we detect go into the hundreds of TeVs and charged cosmic rays have been detected to much, mu

No, not really. We are talking here of the first time a short burst of only a few minutes was detected from a source not previously known. Distant galaxies with super massive black holes in their center are a well known source of this kind
