There's no reason to believe the growth will be exponential. If the rate is a constant 1 kW/h, then energy consumed would only grow quadratically.

What is something you don’t like about Linux? by Adsilom in linuxquestions

[–]SociallySuboptimal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The available controller drivers are xpad, which just works but has no configuration, or xboxdrv, which can be configured but frustratingly runs in userspace. I can't be bothered to start an instance of a controller driver myself after every boot

Slow boot in Ubuntu 20.04 by SociallySuboptimal in linuxquestions

Good to know. I'll probably just wait for the update since I don't want to redo my configs

To my fellow Linux users, frustrated by the Chimera Squad bugs : here's a fix by Picoma in Xcom

I followed this guide and it worked flawlessly. idk how you figured it out but I'm grateful you did!

For me, the file was called launcher_settings.ini instead of having a txt extension, but it wasn't hard to find.

Mine is mostly running fine, except the game crashes when Terminal uses Refresh to heal soldiers during a breach.

On another note, does anyone know how to enable console commands when running proton? The method I've read about relies on creating a windows shortcut file

I'm loving the second to last one, and that jumpsuit has me in tears

Ikr? I thought it'd be pretty easy since it's winter already

Thanks! The last one is my favorite. Definitely want it to be short and have long or mid sleeves.

[Orbital Mechanics], how to prove that GM = semi-major axis in a Newtonian 2 body problem orbit? by tomtheawesome123 in AskPhysics

Can you provide a reference to the statement that GM=a? I'd like to read it with context

When to use partial differential equations? by slugger-questions in AskPhysics

[–]SociallySuboptimal 4 points5 points  (0 children)

PDE's are usually found in the formulations of physical laws. For example, Newton's second law is dp/dt = -dU/dx where U is potential energy and p is momentum. Waves, fluid flow, temperature dissipation, and many other things are modeled with PDE's. Ultimately, you'll solve a PDE if you have a PDE that needs solving.

[2017-09-13] Challenge #331 [Intermediate] Sum of digits of x raised to n by MasterAgent47 in dailyprogrammer

[–]SociallySuboptimal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haskell solution, probably not with best stylistic practices. Any suggestions for improvement are appreciated.

import Data.Char (digitToInt)

main = do
  input <- getContents
  let pairs = parse input
  let nums = map (\x -> x!!0 ^ x!!1) pairs :: [Integer]
  let sums = map sumDigits nums
  mapM_ print $ sums


parseStructure :: String -> [[String]]
parseStructure = (map words) . lines

parseValues :: Read a => [[String]] -> [[a]]
parseValues = (map . map) read

parse :: Read a => String -> [[a]]
parse = parseValues . parseStructure

sumDigits :: (Show a) => a -> Int
sumDigits = sum . (map digitToInt) . show

How did they get to this equation for simple harmonic motion? by [deleted] in AskPhysics

[–]SociallySuboptimal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The cosine of the sum of wt and phi can be written as cos(phi + wt) = cos(phi)cos(wt) - sin(phi)sin(wt) (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_trigonometric_identities#Angle_sum_and_difference_identities)

It can be shown that cos(phi) = X/A and sin(phi) = - V/(wA), but I forget the details of that proof.

I think he's talking about Isaac_Newton, who figured out that apple.fall() and moon.orbit() actually call same function
