  • Was it in summer '63?

  • how a capsule with three people inside is able to freeze when the exterior is exposed to direct sunlight.

    The core of the question is: What defines the temperature of the capsule?

    While it's intuitively clear that the astronauts (3×100 W) and electric devices (if they are running) generate heat in the interior of the capsule, on the outside it's more complicated: The first thing that comes in mind is the sun shining onto the capsule (even throug a sphere defined by the solar orbit of the earth with the enormous power of 1361 W/m^2 ) heating up its surface. Yet, as the surface of the capsule is made of shiny aluminium, only 20 % of the radiation is absorbed, the rest is reflected. Additionally, the radiation effectively acts only on an area defined by the cross section of the capsule, not the entire (semi-spheric) part of the surface directed towards the sun. But anyways, the surface subjected to the solar radiation heats up and... ... itself emits heat radiation into space with a power proportional to the 4th power of its absolute temperature ( T ^4 ). The remaining heat from that source is conducted along the hull of the capsule and towards its inside until an equilibrium temperature distribution is reached, where the heat generated by the astronauts (and devices), the heat intake from the sun, and the negative contribution due to heat radiation on the entire surface are in an equilibrium state.The NASA engineers surely have designed the properties of the capsule in that manner, that a comfortable ambient temperature inside the capsule is preserved when all electric devices are running as planned (i.e. the comfortable temperature is the equilibrium temperature in that case).As in the emergency situation, these devices were turned off, the equilibrium temperature which adjusts by itself is significantly lower than the designed comfortable temperature.

  • Heat is the cemetery of energy and is the result of the dissipation of other (higher) forms of energy.

  • Obviously now, they have the confidence to deliver it in a distribution targeting Linux beginners.

  • Well, if you are willing to coat your head with copper and some tin on top, you can grow yourself some tin whiskers. Yet, I don't know if they make a good replacement for hair.

  • Deep in the coating, where the Cu6Sn5 [Remark: intermetallic phase of Sn coating and Cu substrate] is present, the deviatoric strain was high. This indicates that the growth of the intermetallic phase causes plastic deformation of the tin coating.[...]A short (4 micrometre) radial gradient in hydrostatic stress was observed around the root of the whisker. This gradient together with long-range diffusion from specific regions could provide the driving force for whisker growth.

  • A colleague of me did his PhD exactly on the last topic.

  • If you suppose it's only ~15 stairs per floor, about 1200.

  • Same for Eternity. I think it's for use with a normal browser.

  • Evince is much older than 2018. I remember using it on Ubuntu 10.04. Iirc, like KDE, Gnome moved its repositories to Gitlab back in 2018.

  • How do you perceive this from:

    Male elephants have on of the highest tesstosterone levels of any animal

    ?

    A level is already a relative quantity.

  • Additionally, only young, sexually immature bulls live in their family. When they're grown up, they live in bachelor groups led by a dominant male. During musth, they are roaming the savannah individually.

  • I'm not a programmer, but I'd say if you copy large sections of a code, the original author belongs into the list of authors, not into the acknowledgement part, where you e.g. thank your significant other for their support, your collegues for their fruitful discussions or some society for their funding.

  • The license does not allow removing the original license and purport that the code was created by someone else. It looks as if large parts of the project were copied directly from Spegel without any mention of the original source.

  • If it's only due to the branch, i.e. a package or desired version isn't available in stable but is in testing or unstable, you may try using pinning.

  • Doesn't apt (not apt-get), unlike dpkg, perform a dependency resolution before installing a downloaded deb package?
