Talk:William Clarke (apothecary)

message: Different Sources list different Storers as the possible lady in Newton's life.  Most of my research on this family indicated that it was Katherine not Anne who was Newton's early sweetheart.  ~Teri

Talk:Wilfred Stamp, 2nd Baron Stamp

message: This makes no sense.  There's something wrong.
*Dukedom of Suffolk, Second Creation (1514)
*Charles Brandon, 1st Duke of Suffolk (1484-1545) 
*Henry Brandon, 2nd Duke of Suffolk (1535-1551) 
*Charles Brandon, 3rd Duke of Suffolk (1537-1551) 
Either the reference to Henry Brandon holding the Dukedom for an hour is wrong, or the Duke of Suffolk page is wrong.
Given that the Duke of Suffolk page shows Henry Brandon as being 2nd Duke of Suffolk at the same time that Charles Branson is listed as being the 3rd Duke of Suffolk, I'm inclined to believe the latter; but then the question arises, who was Duke of Suffolk from 1535 to 1537?
There's a bunch of other stuff that's funny about the Duke of Suffolk page, but I won't get into it now.  Vaxalon 19:21, 18 July 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: No, that's perfectly sensible, those are birth and death dates, not the dates they held the Dukedom: Charles Brandon, born 1484, created Duke of Suffolk in 1514, died 1545. His son Henry, born 1535, would have inherited the Dukedom in 1545 on Charles' death, died 1551. Charles' younger son Charles, born 1537, inherited the Dukedom in 1551 on Henry's death, died of the same disease an hour later. -- Arwel 10:55, 19 July 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Infinite canvas

message: I do think that infinite canvas causes a certain obstacle to serialization, because serialization, especially at a daily or weekly level is inherently discrete in terms of being divided into bits that can be produced in that timespan. --Random832(tc) 00:12, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It can be an obstacle, sure, but it isn't necessarily. Infinite canvas only means that the artist can use whatever "page size" they want regardless of physical limitations (although there are still of course technical limitations regarding production and scrolling to read). One of the best-known examples of infinite canvas is Demian5's "When I Am King", which was serialized. An artist can also build on a single page in installments. — Gwalla | Talk 03:23, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

It is due to similar DPI (often higher for a screen) and the digital nature of the screen, where the white is always white, no matter what's next to int.

Talk:Chinese paper folding

message: I have removed the bit in the lead saying paperfolding originated in China and that it was brought from China to Japan in the 6th century. This is cited to "".
The tiny 'history' in from Angelfish simply has no basis in anything except conjecture. See History of origami.  We don't know when paperfolding started, all we know is when paper was introduced from China to Japan. We don't know if any paperfolding was done in China before then or when it started in China. Even the word 'origami' may be a Japanese translation of a German term and not as described in that book, they used a different term in the 19th century.
By the way there should be some mention of burning paper yuanbao in the article I think, the practice of burning paper models at funerals must date back quite a bit. Dmcq (talk) 22:04, 12 October 2011 (UTC)

Talk:South Pole Telescope

message: Important discovery made in March 2014 is missing in the Article Page. Scientists have announced what was going on in the earliest moments of Universe right after the big bang! The gravitational waves generated due to inflation has produced a signature on the microwave sky. It has been now seen. The new data discovered by the team at SPT is almost perfect fit for Inflation. 
This info is attributed to a documentary that I have, wherein the detailed images of this discovery are shown. I am afraid if I put this as an update with the relevant images then it would amount to copyright violations. Am I correct in assuming so? 
Else I would be more than glad to contribute to the article. - Anand2202 (talk) 16:28, 17 February 2015 (UTC)

thread_title: Concern

message: I would really like to see some information added about the construction and specific location of the telescope.
Surely there must have been challenges in getting a telescope of any size down to the South Pole. Where was it constructed. Was it shipped in one piece, how did they move it to its current location, etc.
As for location, sitting on the bottom of the Earth must have other specific advantages that are not really mentioned in this article. Not being an astronomer myself, maybe a slight amateur, but I would think that being on the South Pole would have the advantage of having the same night sky basically in view all night long and pretty much the same view all year long.
Also be good to add in the involvement this telescope had in the EHT and the story about how the data had to wait for fare weather to fly out the hard drives.
Anyway, looking forward to seeing this information added if possible. Thanks! --Skippingrock (talk) 07:01, 11 April 2019 (UTC)

Talk:Strict programming language

message: The article lists Common Lisp as a strict programming language.  I am under the impression that Common Lisp functions are strict, but Common Lisp macros are not.  Do I understand correctly? —Preceding unsigned comment added by The Storm Surfer (talk • contribs) 
: As far as I can tell, macros are not directly related to strictness. Strictness relates to evaluation strategy, but macros are without evaluation strategy, as they are meta-evaluated. In effect, a macro can be used to change the evaluation strategy, so you can achieve macros that behave non-strictly. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.181.66.63 (talk • contribs) 
:: I feel that this is worth a mention in the article. For example, Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs in section 3.5 uses delayed evaluation via two macros (delay and force) in Scheme to implement data structures such as infinite lists (streams). Since this is actually practical and used in the Lisp family, this matter should be clarified in the article. 132.236.75.84 (talk) 15:28, 30 November 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Bistrița (Siret)

message: The Bistriţa river is one of the names of Romanian rivers which needs disbambiguization. However, in the case of Romania, the use of historic provinces is not the best way to differentiate the rivers. Actually using Bistriţa (Moldavia), Bistriţa (Transylvania) and Bistriţa (Vâlcea) is inconsistent. Moldavia is the name of a province, Vâlcea the name of a county. Actually Bistriţa (Moldavia) is incorrect as the river crosses from Transylvania to Moldavia. If we use Bistriţa (Transylvania) we don't really know to which one the article refers. This is not really a disambiguization.
The correct way to differentiate the rivers by river basins. Administratively the rivers in Romania are managed by river basin agencies, and therefore it would make more sense to indicate the river basin to which the rivers belong. Thus we should use Bistriţa (Siret), Bistriţa (Someş) and Bistriţa (Olt).
