Thanks for the link, to save anyone else the trouble, it seems that the rate for Bhutan is 89 out of 423 (21%) in country overstays. Average overstay rate for non visa waiver countries is 2.2%.

Okay, so I don't really understand what you're saying, but let me take a stab at it. Somebody named GI Gurdjieff wrote a book "Meetings with Remarkable Men" in 1923, and in that book there was a kind of story in the intr

The paper says: > Joseph Fourier (1768–1830) was attracted by the problem of heat diffusion because he wanted to find the ideal (soil) depth to build his cellar so that the wine remained stored at the perfect temperature in the course of

I appreciate that others may not have got much out of this, but let me say that as someone who knows about statistical modeling, but has no physics training, this made Fourier transforms very clear. There was another comment that referred t

Massive protests have occurred due to obvious government corruption. In particular the housing allowance for a month for a parliamentarian is now ten times the minimum wage for a month. https://www.theguardian.com/world&#x2F

In the full text, they did not appear to study the false positive and false negative rates. Their references to "sensitivity" were referring to the fact that they could detect even very small concentrations of the biomarker. This

Thank you for providing this very helpful and needed context. I was indeed getting very excited.

The second point the grandparent made was that they were using dbplyr , which allows you to avoid having the data take a round trip between the R process and the database.

I was very surprised by your comment and by the article you linked that the name Aditya cannot be represented in Unicode. I think it can be represented: আদিত্য. I am not a Bengali-speaker, but I am familiar with the class of scripts to whic

I also had these in my elementary school in Sault Ste. Marie. Mine were also used for games only, never programming. I remember a game where you played the role of a colonial farmer in Canada and you got to decide what to plant every season

A good way to address your point would be to compare the situation to Canada. In the province of Quebec, where we have a highly vaccinated population, the intensive care units (ICUs) in all hospitals will be full within two weeks, if the ra

I laughed out loud (and was pleasantly surprised) when I found out how much you understated your expertise. I have only read a small bit of your dissertation, but so far it is informative and interesting.

Can anyone help me understand why gears with prime numbers of teeth would not be mechanizable? For Venus the original designer faced a dilemma: the known period relation (5, 8) was very inaccurate, whereas the accurate (720, 1151) was not

There is a command-line program called "file" that attempts to determine the file type (format). It uses a series of known formats and returns the first matching one. I have found it useful to reverse engineer proprietary formats.

His marriages really were disastrous, and his second wife really did say that. She (and he) even really might have felt that way, despite the immense problems in their relationship. Just to give you a sense of the problems in their famous r

I thought I was the only one! When I look around at the code examples using openCV it is clear that nobody knows how to use it. God help you trying to get your GPU working on Python.

I think the English translations of the Hindi and the Bulgarian are mixed up. The Hindi should be "Their destination was secret", and the Bulgarian should be "Nobody knew where they went". Also, the Devnagari script is n

In North Ontario, Canada, and in some parts of the East coast, many speakers use the words "up" and "down" to refer to elevation rather than direction. So you would say "I'm going up to the store" only i

I am the same way. Sometimes, when I hear someone get excited/interested about something I know a lot about, I try and shut up and just listen to them talk about it. It is really a great experience.

In some senses, I share your distaste for Word. But, honestly, after having written my dissertation in LaTeX, I must say that it was a terrible experience. I really wanted to love LaTeX. In the worst possible way. I wanted to sneer at peopl
