TL;DR: seduced every Karling woman I could find, united all of the Karling territories in two generations under my grandson without realizing it.

I picked some obscure count in Middle Francia just so I could screw around the game, in the literal sense. Turns out he was married to his cousin and 18 years old, after having one son, I managed to convince the pope that divorce was a good thing in my case. The son gets important later on.

My character than spends the next 40 years going after everything with a skirt, byzantine princesses, heretical female bishops, the cousin he divorced, the queen of Asturias along with her sister and their mother.

It also turns out that you can invite women

I have a small project in which I need to change from equatorial coordinates to coordinates, basically two spherical systems misaligned by about 40 degrees.

Thinking about this I got very stuck when trying to move between more general transformations. Is there a book/website/anything that goes over this at an undergrad level?

Does anyone know where I can find a current table of magnetic declination? I need a compass to orient an arduino project I'm making and it would be really helpful to have something with numbers and not a map for people.

I can't remember the name or who gave it but several years ago I watched a lecture on community workshops in which people made various items that they designed themselves.

What I remember from the lecture was a clock you had to hug to turn off, that there were these things in a number of developing countries and that the manufacturing capabilities spanned 6 orders of magnitude in size.

Anyone know what I saw?

Sorry for the long title but every book about differential equation under the sun has the same name.

No library around me has this book and I would need to import it.

I was playing around with floating point numbers and noticed that under IEEE 754 there were two possible values of zero, a negative zero and a positive one. As far as I can tell there is no reason why we can't use twos complement to represent negative floating point numbers such that we avoid that oddness.

Other than making the determination of absolute values a bit more difficult, not the significand + 1 to the lest significant bit, is there a reason why I can't find any implementations that use this?

Also is there a good book/paper/textbook I can read on this?

When I run xrandr -q I get:

Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1920 x 1080, maximum 8192 x 8192

But I've seen people get:

Screen 0: minimum 8 x 8, current 1920 x 1080, maximum 16384 x 16384

How does the maximum screen size get decided and does it actually impact anything? Lets say I wants to get 3 4k screens would I be able to use them with my settings, or what would I have to do to get them running?

I'm on an hp elitebook 2740p with intel graphics and I can't get the direct mode to run on the demo. It crashed and throws out the following:

As the title suggests. I would like to have 2 external screens on my laptop that are high definition but I don't have access to a dealer that sells them.

My background is physics and every battery I've ever thought about is an ideal voltage source. Recently I found out about ideal current sources.

Now I want to build actual electronics that conserve power. Lets say I want an LED to stay light on for as long as possible. Using a resistor to limit the current is not very good since so much of the power just gets dissipated. How can I get a circuit in that case that waste as little power as possible?

I really have no idea where to start. Book, websites, textbooks are all welcome.
