    1. How to Calculate the Day of the Week from Any Date5-minute read • Updated on 10 Apr 2023Create a free account to receive an ebook on how to learn memory techniques and remove ads.Here is a calendar calculation technique that I learned from a book called Mind Performance Hacks. It allows you to take a date, like 14 March 1879, and mentally calculate which day of the week it fell on.First, we’ll show you how to do the technique from scratch, and then we’ll give you an interactive date calculator that you can use to check every step of the algorithm.The Formula

      this works

    1. It’s easy to find out the day of the week for births, weddings, and other historical events. Follow our instructions to calculate the day for any date in history—as far back as the mid-1700s. For example, what day of the week was December 26, 2004, when the tsunami struck in the Indian Ocean? Follow the example as you read along: Take the last two digits of the year. Add to that one–quarter of those two digits (discard any remainder). Add to that the day of the month and the Month Key number for that month:

    1. textbooks

      I quickly skimmed through this book.. and i think it is better than books like zemansky in giving a good first introduction to the readers but IMO introduction to thermostatistics by Herbert Callen might be an even more cleaner but unconventional intro to thermodynamics... it does not push anything under the rug as it takes a purely axiomatic approach right from the start

    1. In the Palmer Method (1888) the G has the form shown next to the J above. You can see that the G is just a big version of the g, with a hugely exaggerated back-and-forth motion for the tail. The Palmer Method emphasized muscle motion, and the exaggerated stroke led to more movement of the arm as well as giving the letter a more distinctive shape.

    1. Simlilarily, the buttons can be shifted horizontally by using the “button offset” setting.

    1. In terms of performance, Flutter will always be slightly better than React Native due to architectural differences. The latter solution uses an asynchronous bridge, which can, at times, cause performance issues. Flutter, on the other hand, makes it easy for developers to reuse the existing code. The C++ engine which Flutter runs on performs well and might give Flutter a slight advantage over React Native, which uses UI components compiled to their native equivalents. Additionally, it has the JavaScript layer, which makes it a bit slower than Flutter.

      flutter is faster than react native

    1. To avoid confusion and unexpected data loss, be sure you understand the following points about how TiddlyRemember's sync works before you start syncing:Sync is unidirectional. All your changes should be made within your TiddlyWiki. Any changes you make to TiddlyRemember notes in Anki, such as editing fields, adding tags, or moving cards between decks, will be overwritten without warning on your next sync. Your review history is the only change in Anki that will be preserved when syncing.

      that's a bummer.. thought it was bidirectional.. as far as i have looked i haven't found any way to sync my notes with anki cards bidirectionally..

      If anyone knows a way to do so .. please let me know!

    1. Cohen-Charash says, “

      Isn't this just another form of schadenfreude? Most people could have areas in which they are bad - but there could be people who don't have significant problems - isn't trying to find relief in the statement that "everybody has problems" just schadenfreude?

    1. I needed a way to display the contents of an HTML file on my desktop, in such a way that it looks like it’s part of the wallpaper. Fortunately, most of the answer was in How can I make my own custom desktop widgets? on Ask Ubuntu, along with Create a Gtk Window insensitive to Show Desktop and Won’t show in Launcher. Combining that with the excellent Python GI API Reference which contains everything and which I can never find when I go looking for it, I came up with a simple little Python app.

    1. we ask that question posters do some initial research before posting

      well with enough research(and the requisite time) answers to all except the most cutting-edge profound questions can be found without having to ask anything anywhere (except maybe google)... it is to get answers for questions more quickly than that, that questions are asked in sites like this one... if the question is not a duplicate in the site, instead of -1ing such non-technical questions why not create a category or tag called "non-technical" or something and not blame the question poster?

      WHAT THE FUCK? WHY??????????

    1. 3. Open Terminal and run ls /sys/firmware. If "efi" is listed, stop and report back. If it's not listed, you're good to go. 4. Open GParted. Delete all the current Mint partitions, including the EFI partition. This should leave you with 98 GB unallocated space.

    1. Mobile device users can access Hypothesis using a special link that includes the web address of the document to annotate.

      Actually using the hypothesis BOOKMARKLET is much more convinient than 'paste a link' or typing "via.hypothes.is/" in front of every link you want to annotate. With the bookmarklet all you need to do is, when you find a page that you want to bookmark, in the search bar of the mobile browser search for the name you saved the bookmarklet as and click it. It will immediately load hypothesis on the page just like clicking the hypothesis extention would do in pc. To bookmark the bookmarklet link (which can be found in https://web.hypothes.is/start) in the mobile browser, copy the link address of the bookmarklet link (which is a javascript code) and just edit an existing (useless) bookmark already there in the mobile browser replace the url with the bookmarklet link. Also give it a title (like "bookmarklet hypothesis") which you would type in the address bar of the mobile browser to find the bookmarklet bookmark.

      If you want to automatically activate the bookmarklet on every page(or specific urls) see the comment below by @diegodlh.. This uses Greasemonkey.

    1. 2. NoxA free emulator that lets you sideload apps from outside Google Play

      UNOFFICIAL WEBSITE: At the time of writing this annotation this link to nox emulator's website does not point to the official website. there is a small note at the bottom of the page downloadnox.com stating that it is a "unofficial site". As far as i have searched bignox.com is the official website for nox emulator. Never expected this from a post in techradar.

    1. Download: Free

      This download link directs to the official website unlike many other tech websites it saw. Be careful from which site you download nox guys. Atleast till now i think bignox.com is the official website. There are so many other "unofficial" sites that just have a small note at the end saying that it is not the official site. Anyhow good job Beebom.

    1. Nox

      The download link below doesn't take you to the official website for nox.

    2. Nox

      The download link below doesn't take you to the official website for nox.

    1. We are not associated with Nox Digital Entertainment Co. Limited. or any of it's developer. This is an unofficial resource website. No pirated content has been shared.

      THIS IS NOT THE OFFICIAL WEBSITE GUYS.. i think the official site is bignox.com. Don't know why this nox emulator has so many unofficial websites.

    1. The exponential term is usually >> 1 except for voltages below 100 mV.
