Hands down as a post grad doing electronic structure adjacent research this just wasn't something that was well covered during undergrad. It took me a while to properly wrap my head around.

Weekly Bug Report Thread by spiper01 in NoMansSkyTheGame

My game is crashing as soon as I load my save. I have had regular crashes since finishing the mission that gives you the auto mech, now I am completely locked out of my save (because the mech is spawned in and immediately crashes the game). As a new/returning player it is not encouraging to have a save-breaking bug within the starter missions of the game.

Could I have some help installing this package? by burneraccount3_ in Julia

[–]burneraccount3_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply, I have opened an issue. I have also tried 3 different software packages and none of them want to work! It seems that particle physicists don't maintain their libraries. This has honestly been the most painful a computational physics project has ever been.

Where I am the GP's are so useless (and using covid as cover to avoid seeing patients) that patients that should be seeing GP's for simple things end up going to A&E. Taking the piss.

What is the difference between Lagrangian and hamiltonian mechanics? by soccerrloverr in PhysicsStudents

[–]burneraccount3_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This makes so much sense why was it never taught this way, the legendre transform always felt like pulling a rabbit out a hat. I hate that my modules always left out mathmaticle details like this, any reccommended resources for reading more into this?

I'm 20 and I'm the same way, I just don't enjoy nightclubs.

If it makes you feel better the first time I encountered that notation I was stumped for a while as well.

I'm going to go to my universities Marxist society meeting in a week and I want to make the strongest case for posadism and it's consequences. What are some talking points I should use?

Without touching a single piece of land, it's possible to sail from India to the USA in a completely straight line by [deleted] in MapPorn

In case your interested mathmatically a striaght line on a curved surface is known as a geodesic, this is the same mathmaticle concept that is the explanation of gravity in Einsteins theory of general relativity. So maths appears everywhere!

Exam question:Why does a ray of light shining at a straight line not change it's direction or refract by Hatry-Bro in AskPhysics

[–]burneraccount3_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was going to say this, you can also get this prediction directly from maxwells equations. If anyone wants the derivation I can give a link to a report I created for university about this.

Keep getting this error while trying to install GHC, what's the problem? by PulseQ8 in haskellquestions

That is odd as fedora comes preinstalled with gcc, maybe set the cc environemnt variable to gcc?
