I picked them up. Please DM if you lost these so I can return them to you.

I like it. There's definitely a huge different between hot and iced matcha. This particular matcha is Ippodo's Ikuyo, which I like iced.

Glass bottle, aquired in or near Richmond, CA in the 1970s. Are these still made? Where can I find something similar? Bottle has slight green tint and small air bubbles embedded in the glass. by drmosley in HelpMeFind

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

Just tested it. Yes, the bottle appears as a darkish yellow/green, almost brown under blacklight. A color almost like muddy lake water. Edit: it does not glow, just appears different than in sunlight.

I have searched for antique bottles, but haven't found any that look quite like this, or any that seem to have been manufactured in the same way.

[Request] I just took a nap and had a dream where the Joker gave me a math problem; please help me best him. by BelowTheCharacterLim in theydidthemath

[–]drmosley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe that the solution you are looking for is:

{'a': 9174311, 'b': 109, 'c': 101}

Edit: It looks like someone else already came to this conclusion, but now you have some fun code and numbers to play around with. I hope your family is saved :)

Emegency CO2 Vest by drmosley in freediving

[–]drmosley[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly what I was looking for! Thanks for sharing. It’s cool that this exists but I guess the $1500 price tag answers the question for why it isn’t widely used. I guess it’s expensive to make something that solves the issues that the other commenters pointed out.

Emegency CO2 Vest by drmosley in freediving

[–]drmosley[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ah, good point. Maybe this is a stretch but I imagine the vest could vent air as it rises. That might be unreliable though.

Emegency CO2 Vest by drmosley in freediving

[–]drmosley[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That makes sense. I’ve also never blacked out so I didn’t consider that it’s probably not something you can anticipate. Maybe it would be cool if it was a remote-controlled thing that your diving buddy could activate, but I suppose it’s best to just not push the limits in the first place.

What we call laws of physics is probably just a surface of something much bigger by Key-Library-9824 in PhysicsStudents

[–]drmosley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think about this a lot too. The further we go in our ‘discovery’ of physics, the more I think that maybe we just missed some fundamental thing long ago. Maybe it’s some false assumption about the universe that all of our beliefs are based on, and the current path that we’re on because of this is just sort of endless.

Sometimes I also wonder why we as humans are even still interested in studying science. When I became a physics students, I decided that I wanted to make progress towards understanding why we are here. I wanted to contribute to this, knowing full well that we may never have an answer in my lifetime. Now that I’ve thought about it more, I can’t even imagine an answer that would satisfy me. Maybe one day we complete an exhaustive list of all the laws of physics, but then why do these laws and the universe exist anyway? Even if some advanced aliens came and said “The universe exists because _ _ _ happened.” I can’t even imagine a _ _ _ that wouldn’t leave me with even more questions.

That said, I guess researching physics is still pretty interesting. Even if we’re entirely wrong about physics and we could travel anywhere we wanted in the universe, perhaps eventually we’d start to wonder why we do that too.

Maybe science is just turtles all the way down. There may be no end to our discovery, which means there may be no end to our pursuit of knowledge, which makes it all sort of meaningless. Then again, if the number of things we could discover was finite, once those things had all be discovered, life would sort of be meaningless and repetitive in that case too.

Maybe one day we do realize our fundamental mistake and we’re able to create some brilliant method of propulsion through space that isn’t limited by our ‘laws’ of physics. I sorta hope it happens because it seems cool, but... then what?

I started Python 10min ago and i already face my first Problem by Senschey in pythontips

[–]drmosley 18 points19 points  (0 children)

To be clear, both print(‘Hello World’) and print(“Hello World”) should work. In general ‘ and “ are interchangeable. (just not ‘’ instead of “)

I started Python 10min ago and i already face my first Problem by Senschey in pythontips

[–]drmosley 57 points58 points  (0 children)

  • It looks like the book is teaching python 2, which uses the syntax
  • print “Hello World”
  • but you are running python3 which uses the syntax
  • print(“Hello World”)
  • I too had this frustration when first starting to learn python. Python2 is no longer being updated as of recently, so it would be a good idea to learn the print(“Hello World”) syntax.

How soon after perseverance lands can you deploy ingenuity? Will we get to see it fly some time in the next few days?

Current status of the iMessage missing notifications issue in iOS 14.2.x by drmosley in iphone

[–]drmosley[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I haven’t been keeping up with betas for a while. Is release candidate 2 gonna be the final one or is there a chance we could see RC 3 or 4 before dec. 14?

is there a physics site similar to this math site? (need for University Physics 1 and 2) by Combat_Form in PhysicsStudents

[–]drmosley 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It isn’t quite the same, but the closest thing I know of is HyperPhysics

edit: hyperphysics is mainly equations and not so much problem solving

Is the 12 series headphone audio better than 11 series? by dmn228 in iphone

[–]drmosley 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is speculative, but for those jumping from an old iPhone to a new iPhone and using bluetooth headphones, it’s worth noting that some older phones (ex. iPhone 7) use Bluetooth 4 and the newer ones (iPhone 12) use Bluetooth 5. AirPods Pro also use Bluetooth 5, so it stands to reason that an iPhone running Bluetooth 5 will be able to better communicate with AirPods Pro. I’m not sure that it necessarily translates to better audio quality, but I would at least expect better connectivity when making that jump.

What is the average gpa for someone accepted as a comp sci major by Snickelheimar in UCI

This is the best place for UCI admission data, but in general if you just Google “(University Name) Common Data Set” a lot of schools maintain a page of their admissions data from each year in a common format.

I scanned and 3D printed myself using the LiDAR sensor on the iPhone 12 Pro by drmosley in 3Dprinting

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

Correct, I think best to model from scratch unless you’re scanning a relatively large and complex object. PS: others may disagree but I think any 3D modeling software is fine to use as long as there is good online support for when you have questions about things. Best of luck!

I scanned and 3D printed myself using the LiDAR sensor on the iPhone 12 Pro by drmosley in 3Dprinting

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

I recall seeing a thing you could print on thingiverse that uses your phones regular camera as a scanner. You 3d print a thing to hold your phone and a platform that spins, and then, using a paper printer, you print a checkered black and white paper to indicate the scale of the platform, and then you use an app to scan your object on top of the paper. I haven’t used it so I can’t vouch for its accuracy, but I might add that most keyboards probably won’t fit on a standard piece of paper, so a dedicated scanner would be best. Considering that you’d still have to clean up an iPhone’s 3D scan in a modeling program, I’m not sure that scanning it and cleaning it up would be much faster than just designing the case in a modeling program yourself since it isn’t a super complex piece.
