There, FTFY.
I agree. Also, if you gave tons of compute power and DNS using Navier Stokes, it may feel that with CFD provides an answer; although it is approximate, it is a decent one. To me, the issue is every single time we do practical CFD of a whole city or an automobile etc. , we need specialized models that fit the flow regime. Even with petascale compute power that most supercomputers in the world are equipped with, once we simulate Navier Stokes + a turbulence model + some custom boundary condition + other microscale model, the approach is not generalizable and needs deep knowledge.
What is the turbulence problem, and when can we say it’s solved?

Baseball's Mysterious Rubbing Mud - FYFD

Rheology of rubbing mud reveals that it is "shear thinning". It rubs like lotion and fills in the holes.
Great if it is done right. This will put a stop all those screenshoted memes from Fediverse.
The witch trial which explains duck typing perfectly.
Yeah, deal with it, Copilot/LLM plugin!
FWIW, I agree with you, partly because the last panel is uncomfortable to look at the anxiety of getting ragged in the public and also because recirculates the stereotype that "X for Humanities" courses are somehow inferior.
Isn't that the plot of a Black Mirror episode.
Simple, replace sin with 1/cosec everywhere!

IIUC, copying over RustPython parser is an interesting detail, but that change happened earlier (2023!) when they were building Ruff, so it is old news. This piece of code called red-knot seems to be mostly original work, as far as I can tell.

Actually, it was invented by Douglas Engelbart in Stanford in the 60s

Xerox (re)made it for the PC in the 80s.
I agree to a certain extent; at least elementary school should and remain device free.

It is not great, but however with WebEx, at least it comfortably runs in the browser without consuming all the CPUs.

Matrix being federated and interoperable from day 1 was pushing for this and there was a blog post on this:
Agree! It can only act as a reference. I like the approach taken by distributions like Yunohost where all the details are abstracted away.
Which CD ripper utility did you use in the 00s?
I remember using Audiograbber at one point and was surprised to see it was still maintained.
I think it can be configured and it depends on the client to allow it or not.
So...like Lemmy?

How AI models are transforming weather forecasting: a showcase of data-driven systems | ECMWF
Developments in machine learning are continuing at breathtaking pace, both inside and outside of weather forecasting. To help assess machine learning weather forecasts from different sources, we now show a range of them in ECMWF’s charts catalogue.
Swimming often results in water getting stuck in our ear canals. The narrow space, combined with the waxy surface, is excellent at trapping small amounts of water. If left in place, that excess flu…
TLDR: To remove by shaking one would need accelerations high as 24g, which can damage the ear. A couple drops of vinegar or alcohol in the ear will lower the surface tension and make the fluid easier to remove

Hi all! I defended my Ph.D. thesis back in 2019 and I also served as the creator and moderator for the subreddit r/FluidMechanics for a long time. I think with that I have gathered enough experience and courage to answer some of your queries. Some broad topics that I can answer questions on are:
- computation fluid mechanics
- scientific programming and HPC
- nonlinear shallow water equations
- statistical description of turbulence: spectra, energy budget etc.
- experimental methods: PIV
- stratified turbulence
- academia
- navigating your career pre- and post-Ph.D.
Ask away!
Can someone explain how different sorting orders in Lemmy work?
