That’s just the standard partial derivative in multivariable calculus. This one I have no trouble to understand. My question is about "at constant something" as used in thermodynamics, where "at constant something" is cl

I still don’t understand what "at constant something" means. I mean formally, mathematically, in a way where I don’t have to kinda guess what the result may be and rely on my poor intuitions and shoot myself continually in the foo

As French, our dual-branch judicial system for a long time seemed very weird to me — I didn’t really see the point of it. I must thank the US to provide a clear example why it is in fact so useful. In France, the law would be typically writ

Presumably you have backups for both the primary database and the message queue (or maybe no backup for the later). If a disaster happens, requiring you to restore backups, how confident are you that your system as a whole is behaving as ex
