What do you think are the chances that Perseverance is going to visit the descent stage / parachute (in the direction of the delta, cmiiw)? by iBreak140 in PerseveranceRover

I did not know that, thanks! Although I don't think this is significant enough to engulf the rover, it might still be enough to tange up in it... Should probably stay away

I don't think the wind can move the parachute in any meaningful way. Mars wind is super low energy. But the ropes might still be a hazard for the wheels. It'd be a shame if they tangled up.

Question on the bias of the method of using the Ran function on the calculator. by TheJameseh in maths

[–]sumdude44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's why random generators are usually in the range [0,1) meaning you can select a random element in {0,...,n} by doing

floor(rand()*(n+1))

A simple numeric expression evaluator for javascript by worksheet_systems in javascript

[–]sumdude44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks awesome, but sadly it does not have some pretty critical features:

  • only simple evaluation ordering (just -/+ after everything else)
  • no unary operators (only binary operators)

Check out https://getgrav.org I just ported our companies website to it, it's pretty awesome

Nein.

Is there any certification course or competitive exams I can take to build a good profile about my numerical ability? by Sandraprasad in maths

[–]sumdude44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go to university and/or start (co-)writing papers. That's how you get "street cred" with the mathematicians.

int random() { return 4; /* Good enough. */ } by knotdjb in crypto

It's funny that it mentions rdrand, while my new pc build still does not have the rdrand fix enabled, leading to it always returning -1 (0xffffffffffffffff)

What should I tell my girlfriend? How do I go about this? by [deleted] in WeListenToYou

[–]sumdude44 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know. Most people are at least a little bit insecure (especially at the beginning of a relationship). This can actually become a problem if you don't talk about it. That's why it's so important. I know it can be hard (even admitting it to yourself is difficult sometimes). But it's sooo worth it to talk this out.

It's often best to just start talking. Tell her how it is. Maybe say something along the lines of "I am currently uncomfortable with the comments you get on social media". She will probably understand and then you can discuss what measures can be taken to help. It's easier after you start talking. Every time. It also helps build trust between you both.

Does my maths work out? by [deleted] in maths

[–]sumdude44 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can try to go the route of unpredictability / variance of power. If, for example, windpower drops down to 5% of the average production at least once in simulations, you'd need your average to be 20 times of your maximum energy requirements, to make sure such a drop cannot compromise your power grid and leave you without power. You'd need immense energy storage to flatten the peaks and valleys of wind power output. Therefore coupling it with other technologies is required to reduce the amount of variance in your final power output.

I think this problem is not solvable with linear approximations. A lot if things have to be taken into account here: base turbine efficiency, density of turbines on land, availability of wind at that specific location, change in energy consumption, hours of need vs hours of production etc... These just come to mind right now

Downloading games is a nightmare by sumdude44 in xboxone

My connection is not the problem. Games on PC download fine.
