The user friendly Chess UI! Exactly what you would expect from a GNOME Project package. But also packs some punch via the Universal Chess Interface, e.g. Stockfish just works.
Period-doubling bifurcation is a phenomenon observed in dynamical systems where a stable periodic orbit becomes unstable, leading to the emergence of a new periodic orbit with double the period of the original one. This process can occur in various contexts, including mathematical models in science and engineering, and is particularly relevant in the study of nonlinear dynamics and chaos theory.
Official demos: github.com/KhronosGroup/glTF-Sample-Assets These are visible at: github.khronos.org/glTF-Sample-Viewer-Release/ with a JavaScript viewer present at: github.com/KhronosGroup/glTF-Sample-Viewer TODO can you load models on the web?
Supports animations, e.g.:
gltf-viewer.donmccurdy.com/ is based on doesn't work with those examples because they have separate asset files.
f3d just worked for it.
Chaotic hysteresis refers to a nonlinear phenomenon observed in certain dynamical systems where the response of the system is path-dependent and can exhibit unpredictable or chaotic behavior, especially in its hysteretic loop. Hysteresis itself is the lag in response exhibited by a system when subjected to changing external influences, often seen in magnetic, mechanical, or electronic materials.
The "Blue Sky Catastrophe" refers to a concept related to catastrophic risks that are difficult to foresee, plan for, or mitigate. The term combines the idea of a "blue sky," which signifies a clear and optimistic view, with "catastrophe," indicating a sudden and overwhelming disaster. In discussions about risk management, it suggests scenarios where people and organizations may not consider low-probability, high-impact events, leading to inadequate preparation for such occurrences.
James H. Ellis is most notably recognized as a British mathematician and cryptographer. He is best known for his pioneering work in the field of public key cryptography. In the 1970s, Ellis developed concepts that laid the groundwork for modern encryption methods, including the idea of public-key cryptography, which allows secure data exchange over an insecure channel.
They actually carry atomic clocks in them.
Globalization reduces the power of governments by
Ciro Santilli 37 Updated 2025-07-01 +Created 1970-01-01
While Ciro Santilli is a big fan of having "one global country" (and language), which is somewhat approximated by globalization, he has come to believe that there is one serious downside to globalization as it stands in 2020: it allows companies to pressure governments to reduce taxes, and thus reduces the power of government, which in turn increases social inequality. This idea is very well highlighted in Can't get you out of my head by Adam Curtis (2021).
The only solution seems to be for governments to get together, and make deals to have fair taxation across each other. Which might never happen.
Git tips Oh, but there are 2 trees: local and remote by

Oh but there are usually 2 trees: local and remote.
So you also have to learn how to observe and modify and sync with the remote tree!
But basically:to update the remote tree. And then you can use it exactly like any other branch, except you prefix them with the remote (usually
git fetch
origin/*
), e.g.:origin/master
is the latest fetch of the remote version ofmaster
origin/my-feature
is the latest fetch of the remote version ofmy-feature
A bifurcation diagram is a visual representation used in the study of dynamical systems to illustrate how the qualitative behavior of a system changes as a parameter varies. It provides insight into the stability and behavior of solutions to differential equations or iterative maps as a specific parameter is adjusted, often revealing transitions between different states or behaviors in the system.
The WNBL (Women's National Basketball League) is the premier women's professional basketball league in Australia. It features teams from various cities and is known for showcasing some of the best female basketball talent. The league was founded in 1981 and has continued to grow in popularity and competitiveness. WNBL records typically refer to statistics and achievements within the league, such as: - **Most Points Scored in a Game:** This includes individual player performances.

Welcome to the OurBigBook Project! Our goal is to create the perfect publishing platform for STEM subjects, and get university-level students to write the best free STEM tutorials ever.
Everyone is welcome to create an account and play with the site: ourbigbook.com/go/register. We belive that students themselves can write amazing tutorials, but teachers are welcome too. You can write about anything you want, it doesn't have to be STEM or even educational. Silly test content is very welcome and you won't be penalized in any way. Just keep it legal!
Intro to OurBigBook
. Source. We have two killer features:
- topics: topics group articles by different users with the same title, e.g. here is the topic for the "Fundamental Theorem of Calculus" ourbigbook.com/go/topic/fundamental-theorem-of-calculusArticles of different users are sorted by upvote within each article page. This feature is a bit like:
- a Wikipedia where each user can have their own version of each article
- a Q&A website like Stack Overflow, where multiple people can give their views on a given topic, and the best ones are sorted by upvote. Except you don't need to wait for someone to ask first, and any topic goes, no matter how narrow or broad
This feature makes it possible for readers to find better explanations of any topic created by other writers. And it allows writers to create an explanation in a place that readers might actually find it.Figure 1. Screenshot of the "Derivative" topic page. View it live at: ourbigbook.com/go/topic/derivativeVideo 2. OurBigBook Web topics demo. Source. - local editing: you can store all your personal knowledge base content locally in a plaintext markup format that can be edited locally and published either:This way you can be sure that even if OurBigBook.com were to go down one day (which we have no plans to do as it is quite cheap to host!), your content will still be perfectly readable as a static site.
- to OurBigBook.com to get awesome multi-user features like topics and likes
- as HTML files to a static website, which you can host yourself for free on many external providers like GitHub Pages, and remain in full control
Figure 2. You can publish local OurBigBook lightweight markup files to either OurBigBook.com or as a static website.Figure 3. Visual Studio Code extension installation.Figure 5. . You can also edit articles on the Web editor without installing anything locally. Video 3. Edit locally and publish demo. Source.
