The third volume of « Three body problem » and its fan-written and author-approved sequel deal with those local physical constants changes !

Whoops. I'm truly sorry for this one indeed, I will revert it. I bought actual font licenses but did not choose an italic yet, and replaced it with underlines, but this of course conflicts with my links..

I am neutral about having maybe contributed to the weights. What would be misguided in my opinion would be to force myself to continue writing those (partly pointless, I agree) little programming explorations without the pleasure of doing s

I agree that we need more human writing. I will simply stop in-public exploratory programming for the time being.

Hey, post author here, just to say that I've appreciated your presence on the forum a lot since I started using Elixir. You are one of those who brought a warm tone there :)

Well (post author here), being solo and thus sometimes feeling pressured for "relevance" since relevance is tied to livelihood, I understand that some people facing this weird era can go that far. I even feel my own writing has ch

Oh, wow. I did absolutely not expect to end up on the front page with this one as it was a lot more personal than the rest of my posts... well, now I'm here and will be happy to chat Edit, for the person whose comment is marked dead un

Thanks, that was so simple ! Just contributed my first missing path.

Hey, a simple question : I would like to contribute not features nor POIs but actual paths. In my region the maps lack a lot of forest paths, and others that are on the map are long gone due to nature closing them. Something like the strava

This kind of nuance is very suited to a mother tongue and I would probably like it in French, but as a non-native speaker who uses english mainly for professional or hobby stuff, claude-speak is becoming a bit off-putting. My only exposure

Thanks. This is the first time I encounter the word "beachhead", and googling a bit made me indeed saw something related to an invasion. But I was so annoyed by the claudeisms that I closed the tab and just asked it to rephrase in

I've had "tractable beachhead" a bit earlier today. Like in "the tractable beachhead was the coupling between X and Y". A bit of googling did not help me, I have no idea what this is even supposed to mean.

Very cool. Are you near Aspet ? I often hike with a friend who lives there. The Cagire is one of my favorite peaks of the Pyrénées.

Sadly not as I exclusively practice visual astronomy. Here is a nebula, NGC7000, drawn by an excellent observer, which appears that way (very wide field, but a bit dimmer than their drawing) : http://www.astrosurf.com/magnit

Thanks for the clarification. I don't think so, my largest eyepiece has a field stop of 39mm, and I'm taking advantage of the fact that edge illumination falloff is not perceptible in visual astronomy when the f/D ratio is lo

I'm sorry, I did not find what you meant by a 220 format frame. Is it a film photography type ?

Very nice, are you documenting this somewhere ?

We still do it ! But the designs have evolved, see : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SWhxCwHVPms I'm planning this kind of build for my 16". It's still a dob, still uses teflon against formica and a wood stru

Well, I could, but checking collimation at 1-2D magnification for an instrument used at 0.16D provides no observable advantage once star collimation was done. My rule of thumb is to star collimate at a higher power than actually used to obs

Hi ! It is quite easy, with 2 tilt screws at the secondary cage, and the primary cell floats on three heavy duty springs. I can shake it and nothing moves, this is my first criteria. I collimate with a cheshire tool but always finish on a s

To me, there are two models that stand out from the crowd : - The Hadley, a 4"1/2 f/9 dobsonian telescope, which is a smaller aperture but easy to build and to find optics for, and very mature : https://www.printab

After this year's Paris marathon, I ran the same per-minute graphs, and they match perfectly the "overall study" graphs with more than 9 million finishes in the article. I also added graphing by age category and gender. I don

There is no rest. There is just (properly done) a continuous output from start to finish, or a very slight increase of output (negative splitting), but effort to maintain it feels exponential. In terms of feeling, it’s a 32km « dynamic run

by chantepierre 3mo ago
Yeah you're right, I hear it more like "this is a week long hike, not a sprint" as if a marathon included rest. In any length of racing there's no tomorrow. But I'm doing tongue-in-cheek pedanticness here and will s

It makes me smile when runners use "X is a marathon, not a sprint" to hint at an effort that accumulates over time and an optimal use of energy. I do it too because it's a common expression, and a marathon is of course longer
