Becquerel's rays Updated +Created
These must have been gamma rays.
Just before he left Cambridge for Montreal in 1898, Rutherford conducted a simple, systematic experiment to study the absorption of rays from uranium. [...] In 1901 he determined that Becquerel's rays are indeed electromagnetic rays. He called them γ (gamma) rays.
This terminology is used e.g. in Marie Curie's Polonium paper:
Some minerals containing uranium and thorium (pitchblende, chalcolite, uranite) are very active from the point of view of the emission of Becquerel rays.

Interesting "gradual" WYSIWYG. You get inline previews for for things like images, maths and links. And if you click to edit the thing, the preview mostly goes away and becomes the corresponding source code instead.

vscode restore windows after restart Updated +Created
Having multiple windows is generally the only sane way to manage multiple projects. So how to reopen then after you:
  • restart the OS or logout?
  • close all window in some other way? It can't be by closing them one by one of course, or else only the last remains. Not sure such way exists.
