mfb said:Expectation values?
I don't get that one. What is being measured? Time?
Coupling constants, tunneling, harmonic oscillator, bound states, on all Four(s)ier transformations, Large Hadron Collide-r, heat transfer, or wave function collapse might work? Okay, I will stop now...

You definitely can tell when there's one around.davenn said:didn't see my first skunk till my visit to the USA in 1999 ... it was in the wild roaming a field in northwest Colorado
we don't have them in Oz
A coworker hit one on the road a couple of weeks ago. He said that it ran out in front of his car but I don't think they go that fast. I saw one in the road a couple of months ago and it was clearly taking its time.

Well, it seems, everything is a little bit more dangerous down under than in other places. Even the drugs:davenn said:didn't see my first skunk till my visit to the USA in 1999 ... it was in the wild roaming a field in northwest Colorado

yeah, the cane toad is a nasty and poisonous species. An idiot, who shall remain nameless on here, introduced them in 1935
to control a beetle that was damaging sugar cane crops.
Unfortunately, the cane toad turned into a much bigger environmental disaster. They have no natural predators here and have
flourished and spread widely across the state of Queensland and now being regularly found in the northern areas of the state
of New South Wales. Dave

Don't mind. We have a small group of Bennett kangaroos somewhere in the woods here. I'm not sure if they're still around, but last time I've checked, it has been their fourth successful winter. And of course, greater rheas. And raccoons, we have many raccoons.davenn said:yeah, the cane toad is a nasty and poisonous species.

O.k., I admit not really poisonous, but funny anyway. The only thing I really, really regret is - I mean we even have populations of Alexandrine parakeets - however, what we do not have in the wild, and they would perfectly be able to survive here, so what we do not have is my absolute favorite of all birds: Keas.

The best.davenn said:yeah cool parrots ...
And crows, which we have.
You should know better. But if you draw the diameter from Keas natural habit through earth, you'll be pretty close. And as far as Wiki is right, there are no Bennett-kangaroos in NZ.where are you from ... I have to assume NZ with the Kea comment ??

To understand recursion we must first understand recursion.

That reminds me that on page 269 of Kernighan and Richie's book The C Programming Language, the book's index entry for "recursion" includes page 269.Ibix said:To understand recursion we must first understand recursion.
Also, try googling for "recursion" and see what happens.

Upon following your advice, I came across this interesting aspect.DrGreg said:Also, try googling for "recursion" and see what happens.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recursion
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Droste_effect
The Droste effect-known as mise en abyme in art-is the effect of a picture appearing within itself, in a place where a similar picture would realistically be expected to appear. The appearance is recursive: the smaller version contains an even smaller version of the picture, and so on. Only in theory could this go on forever; practically, it continues only as long as the resolution of the picture allows, which is relatively short, since each iteration geometrically reduces the picture's size. It is a visual example of a strange loop, a self-referential system of instancing which is the cornerstone of fractal geometry.

I didn't know that one. I love little gags like that in textbooks.DrGreg said:That reminds me that on page 269 of Kernighan and Richie's book The C Programming Language, the book's index entry for "recursion" includes page 269.
Nice. Have you tried googling for "askew"? You need a reasonably modern browser for that one.DrGreg said:Also, try googling for "recursion" and see what happens.

Since googling is the current subject, thought I'd post this URL.
