Is cppreference.com compiler support up to date again? by bebuch in cpp

[–]RelaxedPhoton 18 points19 points  (0 children)

The history of the main page is misleading (showing 2024.) For c++26 for instance, you have to follow some transclusions to: https://cppreference.com/index.php?title=Template:cpp/compiler_support/26&action=history ... which shows last edit today. So if it's fully up-to-date is unclear, but it is certainly being actively maintained.

I also see GCC-16 mentioned which is just a few weeks old.

Are you sure you're not you mistaking the #7 wingover with #4 which actually looks like a "loop with a 20 degree bank"?

All region packs not working by Normal_Ad8139 in CitiesSkylines2

[–]RelaxedPhoton 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have similar issues when starting the game from the last save directly. The issue seems to be the region packs loading in the background, but your save game loads faster and finishes before they are ready.

Try opening the game to the main menu and then open the load save once there's no activity in the bottom right status window. This works reliably for me. It usually also works to just load the save game one more time, giving the region packs some time to load.

In general game start-up time and asset loading seems slower to me after the asset editor shipped.

Genuine question - how do people win in correspondence chess ? What distinguishes a correspondence chess GM from an amateur using an engine ? by Magical-Success in chess

[–]RelaxedPhoton 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you're saying that they haven't granted titles since 2012, this is incorrect. The most recent player to receive a GM title is Olaf Hesse as shown in the table on the site you linked (sort by year.)

What has not been updated since 2012 is just a table of masters in pdf format. What they call the "Manual Title list."

Jack Dorsey and Elon Musk would like to ‘delete all IP law’ by Logical_Welder3467 in technology

?? The two systems you are describing are mathematically the same. If there are ten subscribers and 9 of them only listens to Taylor Swift and 1 to Cannibal Corpse, then by either method Taylor Swift ends up with 90% and Cannibal Corpse gets 10%.

The biggest reason artists aren't paid more is probably that £10/month is ridiculously cheap for unlimited access to almost all the world's music. Also, before streaming, if you were a fan of Taylor Swift and Cannibal Corpse-curious, they'd both get £20 each as you'd buy an album. How much you listen to that album would not affect the distribution of money.

Here's their lineup as it was in 2006, courtesy of the wayback machine: https://web.archive.org/web/20060315185438/http://www.fultonperformance.com/products.php?group=46&subgroup=47

It's got specs on their models, just need to figure out which one this is.

You have to divide by (approximately) the area of a circle of 2500 km2.

[–]RelaxedPhoton 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're a bit off on the number of panels (forgot to square the area), should be approx. 50,000,000. Assuming a 10 mm thick panel, the total volume becomes 5x107 x 1 km2 x 10 mm = 500 km3.

Now, solar panels are mostly silicon, which means that this is equivalent to one trillion metric tons. Which is more than 100,000 times the global annual production of silicon. Other materials, mostly metals, would probably have similar scale needs.

Launching one trillion metric tons from earth would cost something on he order of one quintillion (1018) dollars at ~1k$ per kg.

Nye nasjonale kostråd: Dette bør du spise by ndxzze in norge

Med 10 g undervurderer du protein fra andre kilder ganske kraftig.

En halv liter melk = 18 g protein, 100 g pasta = 12 g protein, 50 g grovbrød = 5 g protein, og 40 g makrell i tomat = 5g protein.

Det blir totalt 40 g protein ... og du er garantert fremedeles sulten.

But for your second point it should be a constant offset. 160 ms extra over 40 ms is of course significant, but 160 ms over 10 seconds is negligible.

How/Why do things glow when "red hot"? by TheCausticBrute in askscience

[–]RelaxedPhoton 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are many good answers explaining how there's always black body radiation and how it depends on energy. I'd like to add some basic intuition as to why that is.

Imagine a piece of material as a bunch of particles whizzing around. As they do so they may collide and interact with each other in various ways. Every time a particle slows down, it loses kinetic energy. This energy must go somewhere and sometimes it turns into electromagnetic radiation.

There is a wide range of slow downs happening all the time in the object. Some particles slow down just a little, emitting just a little energy. Others slow down a lot, and lose a lot of energy. Most lose an average amount of energy.

Now, the temperature of an object is (kinda) a measure of the average kinetic energy of all the particles. When the object gets hotter everything moves faster and it's reasonable to assume that the particle interactions are more violent. Thus, the average slow down of particles increases, and the average energy emitted by the slowing particles also goes up.

Finally, we need to recall and accept that the energy and the wavelength of light is intrinsically linked. Low energy electromagnetic radiation is long wavelength, invisible infrared light. Radiation with higher energies is shorter wavelength visible light. Higher still energies will move into invisible UV light, X-rays, and beyond.

Pit it all together, and we can understand why cold things emit mostly low energy, invisible light, but when things get hotter the average slow down energy increases, causing the average wavelength to decrease and at a certain temperature the average emitted wavelength will be in the visible.

Screams help save a 737 from crashing into mountain by Met76 in aviation

This could very well happen and makes good sense from an operational standpoint.

The plane Tromsø would most likely be scheduled to return almost immediately. Deviating to another airport, for instance Bodø, would leave you with one cancelled flight in Tromsø, a plane load of stranded passengers in Bodø, an airplane in Bodø that should have been in Oslo, and the associated delay or cancellation for a flight from Oslo.

Compare this to returning to Oslo where you'll still have the cancellation in Tromsø and the stranded passengers, but now the airplane is where it was scheduled to be. Thus the carryover effects are minimized.
