Too uniformly distributed

What do you all check instead of the news?

I’ve realized that I check the news several times a day but not because I’m curious about what’s happening on the grand scheme of things, but because my brain wants to check something that keeps changing with new, evolving information. It fills a slightly different niche than social media, and I don’t watch sports so I...

The recline is needed for overnight flights. On short haul, it’s unnecessary indeed. I think some airline have ordered seats without recline already.

It really depends on the country. France and Belgium, as you wrote. Germany, they expect a tip and look at you angry if you don’t. Italy, they add a service charge at the end that is nowhete advertised. Turkey, they invent a random price at the end, complaints only taken if you’re local. (I’m slightly exaggerating)

You want an answer?

So you’ve probably learned that if u is an eigenvector, then multiplying u by any scalar gives you another eigenvector with the same eigenvalue. That means that the set of all a*u where a is any scalar forms a 1-dimensional space (a line if this is a real vector space). This is an eigenspace of dimension one. The full definition of an eigenspace is as the set of all eigenvectors of a given eigenvalue. Now, if an eigenvalue has multiple independent eigenvectors, then the set of all eigenvectors for that eigenvalue is is still a linear space, but of dimension more than one. So for a real vector space, if an eigenvalue has two sets of independent eigenvectors, its eigenspace will be a 2-dimensional plane.

That’s pretty much it.

Awk has the advantage over Perl/Python/etc. that it’s standardized by POSIX. Therefore you can rely on it on all operating systems. It’s pretty much the only advanced scripting language available that is POSIX – the alternative would be some heavy shell scripting or almost-unreadable sed.

This is incorrect btw. Conjugation is not a special form of declension. Declension does not apply to verbs. The general term for both is morphology.

Let’s do the math. Let’s name the points A B C D, where A and D are separated by 6 feef, and all other point pairs by 6 feet. There fore, ABC and BCD are equilateral triangles of side length 6 feet. This leaves two possibilities for the distance between A and D: either they are the same point, or their distance is twice the height of an equilateral triangle with 6 feet side. Since A and D are clearly distinct, we’ll go with the latter. That makes the distance AD to be equal to 6 feet times the square root of three, giving a value of sqrt(3) feet for one feef.
