The official Russian stats on the matter are quite misleading/are a lie. There are people who are factually not employed and who are de jure not counted as unemployed.

Basis for the claim: I was among such people until recently. Registering as de jure unemployed would have both been much more hassle than it would be worth, and it would have forced me to prove that I was incapable of most of the offered work. No actual benefit of registering apart from a pittance.

The Soviet Union and Russia use numbers as designation for many of its projects under development

Which clandestine Soviet projects used the naming convention 'Project [n]', where n is some number?
If you are trying to imply that other states do not use numbers in the naming conventions of their projects in general, then this is silly and you can look for all your M1s, Types, etc. all across the globe.

Here’s an example of Soviet ship project numbers that follows this convention

Notably, not a naming convention for clandestine projects, but for military engineering ones.

This extends beyond military projects though. In the USSR/Russia, research institutes are designated by number

None of those names follow the naming convention of 'Project [n]'.

Also, those are not research institutes you are linking to - those are constructor bureaus.

as well as hospitals and schools etc. You don’t go to Libertyville High School, instead in Russia you go to “School 57” (Школа № 57)

As an aside, this naming happens locally, and it actually doesn't quite apply to all (primary and secondary level) schools.

Also, I don't quite see what the relation is. I'm pretty sure that I can find similar naming conventions used for schools elsewhere.

China also largely follows the same numbering conventions for military projects, institutions, hospitals and schools

Which makes the soft-implication that it's just the USSR+Russia that use that naming convention more silly.

How is this a Soviet/Russian way of naming projects, and not a USian one?

To add to the other answers, the 'amplitude/power of a signal at a given frequency' has to do with frequency-amplitude decomposition of a signal.
The frequencies correspond to the frequencies of some periodic functions which we choose for a given decomposition. The set of these functions is the basis of the decomposition.
When the functions are multiplied by the relevant amplitudes, their superposition gives us the original signal.

The libs in Russia and China are now making a come back. Putin and Xi have, at least for this round, failed to wipe out the libs when the opportunity arises

Putin is a liberal. He has no intention of fighting anybody on the grounds of them being liberals.

I thought the Netanyahu warrant was issued months ago. I guess, ICC is being consistent in being a NATO organ.

Still focusing almost exclusively on the work-related studies. I will be starting next week.

but at least they win

Yes, we know that the USian uniparty wins elections. Why did you put 'at least' there, as if that's somehow a good thing?

What serious argument can there be against 'embracing' immigration for countries with economies that do not feature the profit motive for its major economic agents (like planned economy)?

Cofinal Hitlers.

Riemann-integrable Hitler vs Lebesgue-Integrable Hitler.

Normal Hitler vs completely normal Hitler.

 

Having a bit of an obsession over it since a few days ago. This thread is a bit of an outlet for that.

Also, I am curious if anybody would be willing to run it, or if anybody has run it.

 

...Or, more rigorously, non-correlation does not imply independence.

As this little guy and everybody else knows, one of the most famous correlation coefficients out there is Pearson's correlation coefficient: cor(ξ, η) = (E[(ξ-E[ξ])(η-E[η])])/sqrt(D[ξ]D[η]), where E[x] is the mathematical expectation of random variable x, D[x] is the dispersion of random variable x, and sqrt(x) is the (prime) square root of x.

As we all know, if cor(ξ, η) != 0, then ξ and η are not independent random variables. But recently, this little guy heard that it does not follow from cor(ξ, η) = 0 that ξ and η are independent. Obviously, he craves the light of knowledge and wants to hear some examples of non-independent random variables having a correlation coefficient of 0.

 

Have been trying to set it up for hours now. Nothing works.

  • Latest version does not seem to have winutils support, and using it causes errors when using some important methods. (EDIT: this is likely wrong, and the winutils stuff that I have should probably be fine.)
  • Older versions require to be built with Maven. However, that just gives me a PluginExecutionException.

I need to do this ASAP, preferably within the next 3 hours.

I have nowhere else to ask for help, it seems, especially considering that reddit-logo suspended an account I set up specifically for asking questions after I edited a relevant post.

Highly doubt that anybody will be able to help me.

EDIT2: the issue has, thankfully, been resolved. I was using Python 3.12, and switched to 3.11.8. That made the problem go away.

 

This little guy craves the light of knowledge and wants to know why 0.999... = 1. He wants rigour, but he does accept proofs starting with any sort of premise.

Enlighten him.

 

No, seriously, why do they? It's not like the construction workers don't get paid their wages if they aren't given such projects, and, unless you are buying the resources from overseas, the only cost for the construction materials for the state is wages/salaries of the workers who are involved in the relevant processes.

Am I being swindled?

 

Working in a Virtualbox VM using the standard KDE version of the .iso. I get locked out due to inactivity during a live environment session. Trying to enter the empty password doesn't help me. How do I deal with this graciously?

 

Basically the title.

Also, in case somebody could answer the question: is it possible to enable the Cube effect in a Virtualbox machine? I already have kdeplasma-addons, qt6-quick3d and qt6-quick3dphysics installed but I have no Cube effect option in window effects.

 

Not sure if this is the right comm to ask in, but I have been hearing people praise GNOME lately, which contradicts my prior experience with GNOME in live environments a few years ago.

I'd like to ask, what is the appeal of this DE compared to KDE?

 

Working inside a VirtualBox virtual machine. Installed Arch Linux using the Archinstall method. Chose KDE as the DE and SDDM as the greeting screen.

Managed to log in once, but after adding a language and rebooting, I didn't seem to be able to change the keyboard layout, making entering the correct password impossible. I have tried looking up how to switch the keyboard layout, but am coming up with nothing. What is the key combination to change the keyboard layout in SDDM?

Setting up a different virtual machine now.
