When the solar system formed, the gas cloud collapsed along the shortest axis first into a spinning disc and then formed the planets and sun. This naturally aligns the largest bodies in most systems along the astral axis.

The character after the Y in YInMn is an I (uppercase i), not an l.

That's exactly what's done most of the time, but it should be noted that it's convention and assumption.

While "death ears" sounds like a great metal band name, the correct expression is "deaf ears" :)

Listening to the piece at the end of the article is somehow incredibly exciting. Aside from the fact that I'm deeply interested in digital music synthesis, just the fact that this recording exists and you can literally hear the human e

Except that people would often select the wrong license as it's a human controlled process.

Yeah. Lots of things that were uploaded to this cloud service were transcriptions or complete rips of sheet music of in-copyright works. Sheet music is also copyrighted and when the music industry found out about the service, it got strong

They did. OP also neglected to mention that this was forced by the music industry threatening to sue them into oblivion if they didn't put it behind a pay wall.

If anyone is interested, this is a project you can use to generate a nice template for a compilable common lisp project for Linux that uses sbcl, which really reduces the initial setup pain for new projects: https://github.com&#x

This is a similar topic to the first paper I worked on that got published! We built a system that allowed ants to do compass straightedge construction. Paper link is here: https://cs.gmu.edu/~sean/papers/alife16-ge

Does soil continue to break down over time or does it permanently sequester into peat/coal/oil? As far as I knew, basically all of the tree's cellulose eventually gets released over time into CO_2 via biological activity.

That only "fixes" climate change as long as the trees continue growing and do not die. When dead, trees release their CO_2 that they've sequestered back into the atmosphere due to decomposition. Therefore, assuming those fore

That would depend on contract, but, assuming you have a decently sane contract, you'd have to hand over the script, but not the software itself. However, it now sounds like you've landed your first paying customer for a license fo

I'd assume to limit how much transaction costs for microtransactions from many users. Credit cards are awful for small transactions, so you buy a bulk of BAT every month to reduce transactional overhead and then let creators cash out w

As someone with a linnstrument, I have to say that I absolutely adore it. It's among my best purchases I've ever made and is completely intuitive to me (who has much more time on stringed instruments than keyboards). I don't

There's a bug in the lambert code: var lightPoint = scene.lights[0]; this should be var lightPoint = scene.lights[i];

While this is neat website, I'd like to see the logo or source of the colors by the swatch. How did you get the colors, manually or did you do some automated mining?

It looks like from what we know, 2 high energy (it's much less common with low energy) photons collide and change direction: from what I understand, they don't split into low energy photons. It'd be basically impossible for a

They're already using a heuristic, I gave them another one to try. It's easy to discretize random samples to a grid.

Look into RRT, it works way too well for how simple it is, and it's great for reducing search complexity for pathfinding.
