Can somebody explain: do singularities / blow-ups in solutions have any relation to physical phenomena in fluid dynamics or are they purely artifacts of how the N-S equations may not accurately describe what actually happens in the phy

It just feels like there are so many (life) lessons to be learned from the characters and especially from Chris. From his readings and interpretations, but also from his interactions with other characters. I remember his patience with Mauri

Thanks for the recommendation, I'll definitely add "Local Hero" to my list. I like Doc Martin. If I had to think of anything recent that would perhaps have a similar feel it would be "The Detectorists" and (very rec

I read about this. I watched it on Amazon UK where it was included with a Prime subscription until recently. I never found out it if it had the original score for all episodes, if it didn't I thought it wasn't too obvious. Coincid

I have never seen M.A.S.H. but I agree the human moments were unique to this show. I didn't mind the jokes- I thought they kept it light, almost a reminder of how it didn't take itself too seriously.

This episode is just one of the gems and if I remember correctly Maggie eventually returns the washer because she misses the social interaction. I'd have to respectfully disagree and feel the show holds up surprisingly well when you st

I had the privilege to watch this show last year for the first time and I was completely blown away by it. I still think about it from time to time and it is easily my favourite show ever. Every actor is great and every single character in

The Playdate seems an ideal device for busy dads and mums who would pick it up to play a few games here and there and are into programming and maybe would like to teach their kids how to program. I've had a quick play with the tools a

Yes- in the Netherlands the term 'fatbike' is pretty much synonymous with the battery powered bikes only (I presume elsewhere this may be different). They are mini motorcycles really- but exempt from all the rules and regulations

They are routinely modified to exceed legal speed limits and owned by 10 year old or younger kids. Going nearly 30mph on a footpath whilst holding a mobile phone. I think they are also unregistered.

This seems to be concerning but as a Dutch person who has lived in the UK for a long time the relatively recent home-grown 'fatbike' issue seems to be a much more pressing problem for Dutch road safety than this and isn't bei

This is a great idea except for me (and for the author I suspect) I regularly come across attachment of Imgur hosted images on sites (like a post on a DIY forum but not all of them) so it wouldn't solve my issue unless I were to use yo

This is great thank you.

> The new syntax avoids having to do that "double" declaration. Yes, that's right. It is in other words a way to access the compile-time generated backing field for auto-implemented properties. It is quite nice to be hones

I usually feel ambivalence with announcements of new C# versions. Yes, a lot of great features have been added over the years. But it also introduces some amount of cognitive load and confusion. Take the first new feature in the example: &g

An incredibly beautiful visualisation but I felt the same. As well as being confused by the threshold map, at first the text seems to suggest that the 'binary' image is the input to the dithering algorithm in order to 'flip&#

I'm interested in starting out like this, I have a bunch of 2.5" SSD's I'm not using- do you have any tips on what cube to get? Are you concerned about power usage at all especially if this is always on?

Same here (on a Pixel 7). Apart from there being absolutely no reason to upgrade, really, even with the generous trade-in values offered by Google around the time of release. I kind of miss the time when a new smartphone release was excitin

Could anyone more across the detail of this chime in on what this means for the 'average' .NET developer? I rely heavily on LINQ calls in a .NET (Core) Web App, should I replace these with Zlinq calls? Or is this only helpful in c

Thanks for the thoughtful comment. I love the integration with iOS and so I should probably try again and expect a somewhat steep learning curve due to muscle memory coming from Windows. TBH I expected the monitor to 'just work' s

I owned a M1 MacBook Air and I was similarly impressed by everything mentioned in this review. MacOS coming from Windows, not so much. A menu bar 'orphaned' from the application window? A 'File Explorer' (Finder) lacking

I remember Flight Unlimited. Besides what you mention I remember it having very impressive world graphics for its time. What you are looking for seems fairly niche to me especially on console, the only game that comes to mind is Star Wars S

In my experience this also uses tabulated data or simplified equations based on some geometric parameters (such as the exposed surface area). For the purposes of simulating flight, ball park figures are sufficient to get a reasonably accura

I always find it fascinating that what you are seeing is a 1500 year old `close-up' of the nebula as that is how long (approximately) it took for the photons to get here.

Can anyone explain why Htmx is such a big deal? I really don't get their 'motivation' section on their landing page. I mean, for example, the first motivation it lists is 'Why should only <a> and <form> be ab
