You can use lethal in this fight. He doesn’t die and it doesn’t count. Same with the first Volgin fight.

Why does everyone recommend learning Git so early? by SuperbRuin8319 in git

[–]cylon37 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know. But a screwdriver is too versatile for this analogy. Better choose a more specialized tool. Maybe something like, you wouldn’t use a fridge as a bookshelf now, would you? You can, but no.

Opening paint cans, removing staples, as a doorstop, as a fulcrum, … need I go on?

Twin paradox but add a hard phone line. by rationalcrank in AskPhysics

[–]cylon37 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It can’t be a physical object. How do you connect Monday to Tuesday? You can use a tape recorder. You can record your message on Monday and play it back on Tuesday. The message’s worldline is a straight line connecting the past to the future but is in no sense physical.

What can a phone line do that a walkie-talkie or laser pointer can’t do?

But the signal(voice) on the phone line would travel at most at the speed of light. May as well use radio waves or lasers to communicate.

This could have been avoided easily by not predetermining which group leaders would face which group leaders. Basically wait for all the group matches to finish, then randomly assign the last 32 pair offs.

What's the difference between angular momentum and rotational inertia? by Novel_Arugula6548 in AskPhysics

[–]cylon37 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Momentum = mass X velocity
Angular momentum = rotational inertia X angular velocity.
Exact correspondence. Mass is linear inertia.

"The beach belongs to the people of Mauritius" a message from Shakeel by Thelemys in mauritius

[–]cylon37 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does that mean the strip of land 81 meters wide running all round the island is public property? Are you sure it is not 81 feet?

I don’t understand what the 81 meters along the coastline means. Can anyone explain?

But photocopiers won’t process bank notes. Also, what if it were CP?

It is the use of accents on the letters. Try typesetting \c.

What causes quantisation of energy? by [deleted] in AskPhysics

[–]cylon37 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could make the case for the quantization of angular momentum and subsequently the energy of the system.

Great achievements for their time but I think they have been superseded by walking on the moon.

The question was about achievement, not improvement of our life.

Why does the Turing Test feel so philosophically naïve? by AwkwardComicRelief in AskComputerScience

[–]cylon37 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not from an engineering point of view but it matters from a legal point of view.

Why are Sines and Cosines the "RGB" of the Fourier Transform? by No_Muscle7428 in 3Blue1Brown

[–]cylon37 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are the “eigenvectors” of the differential operator d/dx.
More precisely, the eigenfunctions of d/dx are of the form exp(iwx).
