It wouldn’t have been very customizable. The mechanism uses gear trains with shared gears. The are physical constraints to what gear ratios work in addition to the constraint of integer tooth counts. The interdependency is inherent to the d

This new paper still references the Egyptian calendar ring (365 days grouped as 12 x 30 + 5). Budiselic et al propose a 354 day Lunar calendar).

What is interesting to me is that he shows that the craftsman that fabricated it were familiar with the techniques. This was not a one off wonder device. Numerous copies were probably made and they’re buried somewhere just waiting to be dis

Dark Matter is an unfortunate term. The intent was simply to say that observations did not match predictions in a way that seemed to imply that a galaxy had more mass than it seemed from existing measurements. That wasn’t even so controvers

I’m going to admit that I only got partway through the abstract when I was distracted by the pleasing font used for the body text on the website (HardingText-Regular-Web).

I have discovered that the previous documentation is still available in a “documentation archive” complete with banner warnings about how it is out of date and unsupported. It is almost impossible to find topics except by using google searc

When I first learned iOS ten years ago I thought the documentation was outstanding. It had good API level documentation as well as a large number of guides that showed the right way to use the API to implement particular features. I recentl

They say linear in time for increasing circuit depth not increasing qubits. They also don’t address the classical algorithm being exponential in memory as well.

The Bullet Cluster observations are commonly misunderstood. There is indeed a missing baryonic mass problem for MOND but this is also a problem for ΛCDM too.

The post was intended to educate the general public. Physicists already know about this problem. Most pop science, even the ones featuring physicists, present speculative ideas as if they were well established facts. (Hello string theory) F

There is no direct evidence for dark matter. It is a placeholder for observations that don’t match theory. There are many current experiments trying to detect proposed particles but so far none has been detected.

Isn’t a mystery disease wiping out dogs (and cats) the cause for the original Planet of the Apes?

This is almost completely inaccurate. [qoute]The Serbs quickly learned that opening fire on Hogs with AAA or SAMs made them both obvious and high-priority targets. Serb air defenses attempted to plan their missile and AAA shots to maximize

The paper has an interesting perspective but much of it felt wierd. I looked in my old Basic Circuits textbook and the phrase fundamental circuit element isn’t used at all. From an EE perspective, the usual basic groupings are passive and a

The problems will come when it is claimed that some other thing is really just an API, and also subject to this ruling. Is public inheritance and interface implementation no longer allowed in Java? I can think of several ways to duplicate p

There is not scientific consensus on this issue. I would recommend reading another expert on this issue for comparison. https://tritonstation.wordpress.com Dark matter and Lamda-CDM have some fundamental problems.

There is not scientific consensus on this issue. The article is written as if particle dark matter is the only viable option. I would recommend reading another expert on this issue for comparison. https://tritonstation.wordpress.

6502 assembler on C64 is basically what taught me how to program. It was just as important to learn the memory map so that you could access low-level features by reading and writing at special memory addresses. The Compute! books were espec

In my experience it can also be an ACK signal. Not a yes or no just a periodic acknowledgement that they are following what you are saying as you say it. There are forms of this in many cultures.

I think the parent maybe have been attempting a joke. I also could not find any languages where Hotz means thief. Interestingly it means cold in Basque and hotspot in Estonian.

I think the crucial problem is that the cost is borne by the Air Force but the benefit goes to other branches. This is a classic externality in reverse.

I wonder how soon radar reflecting paints will start being used on roadways and barriers, etc. That seems like it would be a general benefit to all brands of cars with auto drive. At the end of the day we want to know if the autonomous syst

Five days after the crash doesn’t seem unreasonable. I wonder if some kind of inerting compound can be developed for lithium batteries for use by firefighters and the like.

It’s funny looking back at what we used to call software development methodologies. Booch and Rumbaugh were primarily focused on modeling. Any talk of process meant a dynamic description of the program. Jacobson was a little more method foc

My experience is that a good team does a good job. A bad team doesn’t. I think the focus on methodologies is to get a good result from an uneven team. Companies desperately want to treat programmers like standardized workers that can be mix
