I'm looking for a free (and simple to use!) program to do differential backups of my files on my Windows laptop. I don't want anything encrypted, just something that can compare files to the backup and add/subtract whatever's been changed.
Years ago, I used "Karen's Replicator". Not sure if...
I am attending University of Waterloo and my school will allow me to graduate as a Mathematical Physics major without taking any labs/experiment courses (in my school lab is not integrated to physics courses, they are separate courses with separate credits).
This could be great because :

Just FYI to anyone who is interested or has a friend or relative who might be interested, Kerbal Space Program is free on the Epic Games store right now through January 12th at 10AM (don't know the time zone).
Kerbal Space Program is THE game if you are interested in rocketry, realistic space...
I know this might be a stupid question, but I am serious. Some of my friends are in graduate programs not much related to their major (a number of my friends majored in math but are in computer science grad programs, and vice versa), so I am curious whether the same holds for physics. In my...
Code for this is here:
https://codesandbox.io/s/floral-frog-7zfon3
I got the general idea of program flow in this case.
First user clicks a button, then function gets called, that function in turn updates the state from initial [] state to [{id:1,value:0.12232}]. Now the array map accesses...
Promises syntax that I learnt:

console.log("that's correct");
}) .catch(function () {
console.log("that's not correct");

Hi everyone
I modified some code that originally displayed a toast when the screen was pressed and held. The original code used onTouchListener with a relative layout, but I changed it to a button instead. I think I've copied it correctly, but my program crashes when the button is clicked.

My little project - 3body simulator started as a programming exercise, which I attempted to make a program that solves the famous 3-body gravity problem using numerical integration.
Later I gained interest in the underlying physics and expanded the program to solve N-body problems involving...
Hello. Would you please explain the factors that determines the opening time of a program or a big file. For example if you have a large excel file, why would you have a difficulty to open it, if it is very large? If it is in your PC's main storage, that is either HDD or SDD, is it reading...
I've been trying to find a way to calculate Gaussian curvature from a 4D metric tensor. I found a program that does this in Mathematica using the Brioschi formula. However, this only seems to work for a 2D metric or formula (I would need to use something with more dimensions). I've found...
Let's say I have an algorithm ## ALG_A ## written in language ##A##, and I wish to call algorithm ## ALG_B ## written in language ##B## through ## ALG_A ##. What are some ways of achieving this in implementation?
For example, say I want to calculate stuff in C language and provide this...
Hi, i am really new to scratch programming so I am having difficulties in interpreting how does this code work ? I understand the first block set a = 5. But i don't know what is that " Repeat 10 " block. What does it do? So really stuck at that "repeat 10" so haven't gone further.

Hi,
Question:
Why is the error 'Error parsing inputs' in CVXPy occurring?
Context:
I am trying to solve a semidefinite program in CVXPy (using Google Colab). I went to the documentation (HERE) and I copied the example code into a cell. It doesn't work for some reason and I don't understand...
crystal frequency is 4MHz
The code i have tried is:
#include <p18cxxx.h>

I was having a conversation with a coworker and this question came up: is there a program like ORIGEN (or maybe even ORIGEN) to run decay calculations in reverse?
It's a relatively easy process to start with a given quantity of an isotope (e.g. U236), run it through a program such as ORIGEN...
At the very beginning, I accept that I have a faulty mouse. I bought it last year, and it's been only one year (almost), and the left button is malfunctioning. Single clicks are often becoming double clicks, which is causing a host of problems — closing two tabs one after the other in browsers...
Hi,
I was working through the following optimization problem, and am getting stuck on how to get to the dual problem that is being presented.

I am sinking deeply into the cryptocurrencies world. There is a website that shows a "smart contract", a piece of code that is supposed to provide rewards for "staking" a particular token, where the rewards is two different tokens (I am not even sure in which proportion). Usually people who...
Almost all (compiled or interpreted) programming langues store the program source in the form of a series of bytes (using an encoding like ASCII or UTF-8) into a text file, enforcing the grammer of the programming language using a parser (as part of the compilation process or interpretation of...
Hey! 😊
A polynomial can be represented by a dictionary by setting the powers as keys and the coefficients as values. For example $x^12+4x^5-7x^2-1$ can be represented by the dictionary as $\{0 : -1, 2 : -7, 5 : 4, 12 : 1\}$. Write a function in Python that has as arguments two polynomials in...
Hi,
Due to a proxy issue I have to launch chromium with this additional requirement to set the right proxy

I wrote a program to determine the critical mass of uranium oxide with an enrichment of 10%. I got a keff approximately equal to 1 with the selected volume and density (attached a file). Is it possible to somehow run the program without writing the initial density and volume into the conditions...
Hello Forum,
I am not completely clear on the idea of saving the state of a Python program. We can write a .py program which has instructions, formulas, variables, user inputs, and uses data from an external file, etc., and run such file. However, running the program is different from saving...
Hello, I hold a BS in mathematics and want to pursue a career in physics. Is there any way where I can directly join a physics grad program from my current background? What are the options available? And would it be better to pursue an MS in applied math and then switch to physics? Would a good...
Bit of a long shot but can anyone remember a TV program where the presenter measured the weight of something at ground level and compared it to the weight at the top of a tall building, possibly the Empire State building? Sorry I can't recall more details. Think it was at least 10 years ago...
Suppose a program computes or reads-in a symbolic mathematical expression like ##2x^2 - xy + y##. What's an effective way to cause the program to implement the expression as a function (e.g. implement ## f(x,y) = 2x^2 - xy + y##) when the programmer doesn't know in advance what the expression...
Hello,
Is it possible to enroll in a graduate program in physics if I have an an undergraduate degree in architecture? Or is an undergraduate degree in physics- or in a related field- required to qualify?
(Assuming that I have studied extensively physics (alone) while obtaining my degree in...
Hello everyone,

Hi,
I don't want to be too specific here, but specific enough for relevant advice.
I'm finishing a Masters in Physics and am lucky to have been made offers by 2 excellent institutes: a Max Planck Graduate Centre (MP), and at Oxford UK. Both are in experimental condensed matter; Weyl...
I am a junior physics major, and I have applied to many summer programs this year. One of which is the AFRL Scholars program. I applied to Kirtland and Elgin. They said that offers will be extended through mid February to mid March. Did anyone apply to this program? If so, has anyone received...

On wikipedia, it says that the Langlands program is a kind of "grand unified theory of mathematics." Does this program have any known connections to physics and in particular, quantum gravity?
I've attempted and I can retrieve a 0 when the first input is greater than the second using BRP. I can't seem to get the output of 1 if the first input is equal to the second input. I also don't get a 2 output with the first input being less than the second. I also have no idea how to loop a...
I am writing a simple program for my wife and would like some critique on some general design decisions I've made. The program will be able to store a recipe she enters (in a .txt file), retrieve a recipe that she had entered in the past, and allow the input and retrieval of ingredient densities...
A computer program that was supposed to handle this was bought and tried, and it made a mess of it, so the idea is that perhaps it would be easier to give a strategy to someone (computer savvy, but an amateur, not a professional ) to program (not requiring too much power of the computer on which...
