Consider that a bunch of bad patches[1] introducing vulnerabilities have passed a strict reviewing process and made their way into the Linux kernel. I'd say there's a far more simple and effective way: just answer questions on Sta

You should also try teddit.net: it's a minimal self-hosted frontend (similar to indivious and nitter). I think it's even better than the old design and works well without javascript.

This is not something particular to gravity: you can ask the same in EM and any other classical field theory, I think. You can compute the amount of energy, but where is the energy stored is not well-defined: you can either think it's

Exactly, I believe the term comes from Aristotele's work "τὰ μετὰ τὰ φυσικά", literally "the after the physics", which may have just had a very practical meaning: writings that come after the physics writings.

Exactly, helium is likely bound to exhaustion along with natural gases deposits: the only source of helium, currently. It can't be replaced with another gas, at least not in supercoducting magnets, so it's a problem. In the future

Well, when worker bees communicate[1] the direction and distance of a foraging ground to each other, that seems pretty conscious to me. Saying everything boils down to chemical signals is true but it's probably too reductive. [1]: htt

The protocol (802.1x) is a mean of granting/denying access to a network based on a set of rules. It does authentication, which is itself end-to-end encrypted, but it doesn't provide confidentiality, meaning no encryption. Also, I&

Agreed, the full formula is much more intersting and deep: it shows there is a mapping between the reals and the circle group that preserves the structure (turns addition into multiplication). This concept leads to the very general exponent

Why isn't this approach to calculus more common? Does it lead to more complex proofs or have any serious drawback? I understand the ε,δ way of defining the limit is important because it extends to other context such as continuity in to

Well yeah, it is. The point I wanted to make is that these isomorphism are "exceptional"[1] and only hold for the lower dimensional groups. The general Spin group and quaterions are very different objects. [1]: https://

by rnhmjoj 5y ago
Technically the unit quaterions are not Spin(3), but only isomorphic to it, they are properly Sp(1) = GL(1, H). It's all fuzzy because the low dimensional classical groups are all isomorphic to each other: SU(2) ~ Sp(1) ~ Spin(3).

From a quick search, it seems this "tax" is part of an ancient (roman law) land contract called Emphyteusis[1] that's still recognized as a valid by the italian civil codex, despite not being in common use. I don't think

Exactly, the electron produced by the decay of tritium have an energy that is distributed between 0 and 18.59 keV (the Q value of the reaction), with an average of 5.68 keV (this is pretty low compared to other common radiation sources). Th

No, there's nothing javascript specific in Privoxy, but there's also nothing stopping you from implementing it. You could write filters to inject custom code (like greasemonkey userscripts) or modifying the scripts in tranport.
