I've used both, though I'm not sure I can compare them directly, since it has been a year or more since I switched from Hacker's Keyboard. Unexpected Keyboard works well for me when using Termux, possibly even better than Hac

If you want to be specific, specify the solid angle [0] captured, in your prefered units, e.g 4π steradians = 41253 square degrees = 1 spat. [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid_angle

I'm not sure if eddyg had a different idea, but I think the following sums it up: - base16 is a specification of how different UI elements map to colors [1], and also some tooling, configuration files, etc. to automate setting this

Not to nitpick (I only stumbled upon this recently myself), but the mechanism driving a Crookes radiometer (which I presume is the type you're talking about) is not photon pressure, but interactions with the low pressure gas in the bul

That was sort of my point. If we use a definition of "touching" that is relevant to the atomic scale, whatever that definition is, we can reasonably talk about what "touching" means at an atomic scale. If we use a colloq

To be somewhat pedantic: "touching" is a word. The extent to which it is or is not an "exact science" depends on what is meant by "touching", and by "exact science". The definition I gave of "tou

I disagree, as long as we're talking in ratios instead of absolute amounts. The difference between "a pinch of baking powder" vs "5 grams of baking powder" is about a factor of 20. I think the main differences betwe

How about this: two objects are touching when the interaction forces between the objects are of similar magnitude to the interatomic forces within the objects. Very generally speaking, this will happen when the distance between the objects

That is the common interpretation in the field, and in fact the phrases "strange metal" and "non-Fermi-liquid" are used somewhat interchangeably. I'd point out that there is another interpretation of resistivity tha

The understanding of strange metals, and more broadly, systems (i.e. materials) where strong (often quantum) interactions are important is one of the main general research areas of modern physics. This is motivated partly by the interest in

Minor but perhaps significant nitpick: the title of the article is "Quantum Weirdness in New Strange Metals Bends the Rules of Physics", and in this case "Strange Metal" is a technical term. If the title is to be edite

4ad's comment has the right general idea. To explain in more detail: They compared pulsed light to continuous light with the same average power [1]. This means that the light intensity within the flux was much higher than the intensity

As a condensed matter physicist (working in the same field but not on altermagnetism specifically), I would say this is being much more picky about the language than most people in the field tend to be. Moreover, I'm not sure you'

To be fair to jaquesm, it looks like nanna's comment used to say '80 years ago' and was edited, so the correction was more significant. See comment by kitd.

It has been a while since I read it, but I recall Cryptonomicon taking place mostly in south-east Asia. Are you thinking of Snow Crash? It's set on the west coast of the US (if I remember correctly). Both books are great.

Is there really such thing as a bird or a dog? (Might I remind you, that there is no such thing as a fish?). Why not do away with all abstractions? Perhaps it's because abstractions are often useful.
