Intuitive understanding of the derivatives of $\sin x$ and $\cos x$ One of the first things ever taught in a differential calculus class:   The derivative of $\sin x$ is $\cos x$. The derivative of $\cos x$ is $-\sin x$.   This leads to a rather neat (and convenient?) chain of derivatives:   sin(x) cos(x) -sin(x) -cos(x) sin(x) ...   An analysis of the shape of their graphs confirms some points; for example, when $\sin x$ is at a maximum, $\cos x$ is zero and moving downwards; when $\cos x$  is at a maximum, $\sin x$ is zero and moving upwards.  But these "matching points" only work for multiples of $\pi/4$.  Let us move back towards the original definition(s) of sine and cosine:  At the most basic level, $\sin x$ is defined as -- for a right triangle with internal angle $x$ -- the length of the side opposite of the angle divided by the hypotenuse of the triangle.  To generalize this to the domain of all real numbers, $\sin x$ was then defined as the Y-coordinate of a point on the unit circle that is an angle $x$ from the positive X-axis.  The definition of $\cos x$ was then made the same way, but with adj/hyp and the X-coordinate, as we all know.  Is there anything about this basic definition that allows someone to look at these definitions, alone, and think, "Hey, the derivative of the sine function with respect to angle is the cosine function!"  That is, from the unit circle definition alone.  Or, even more amazingly, the right triangle definition alone.  Ignoring graphical analysis of their plot.  In essence, I am asking, essentially, "Intuitively why is the derivative of the sine the cosine?" 18.04 on MSI GE63 - boot hangs at 'Loading initial ramdisk' without `acpi=off` GIS Point or discrete longitude and latitude columns? I see that the Point type is made to store geometric coordinates, however I don't see what problem it is trying to solve, or what advantages it offers over simply using two numerical columns. It's 16 bytes, so is it just an abstraction for two 8 byte floats? Or is it a string containing some kind of geohash that optimizes the performance of certain queries?  Let's say I want to get all the points for a specific viewport on a Leaflet map... with numerical columns representing latitude and longitude, I'd just filter for all the rows that have a latitude number between the N/S bounds and a longitude number between the E/W bounds, easy. I looked into using Point here, but the syntax is cumbersome and it seems to me like unnecessary overhead for development and for database performance... is it? Has 'Ubuntu Software' been renamed to 'Snap Store'? How to set date format when manually inserting date on excel, without changing regional settings? How to use (home) brew install python 3.6.5_1 I am trying to install python 3.6.5_1 using Homebrew by running the following:  $ brew install https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/f2a764ef944b1080be64bd88dca9a1d80130c558/Formula/python.rb   I am getting the following error:  Error: python contains a recursive dependency on itself: python depends on sphinx-doc sphinx-doc depends on python   How do I deal with it? What is an observer in quantum mechanics? My question is not about (pseudo) philosophical debate; it concerns mathematical operations and experimental facts.  What is an observer? What are the conditions required to be qualified of observer, both mathematically and experimentally? I'd like to create a Windows bootable USB stick, but I don't have a Windows machine with me at the moment to do so. How could I achieve the same using Ubuntu? How to redirect stderr to a file How do I know if I'm working on a Virtual Machine or not? Is there a way to know if the Windows machine I'm working on is virtual or physical? (I'm connecting with RDP to the machine. If it's a virtual machine it is working and handled by VMWare). I am new to blender (yes, laugh at the obligatory doughnut) and I when I set up the camera (I use NUM 0 to access the camera and move it into position with &quot;Lock camera to view&quot;) in the viewport it shows as the first attached image, but when I render it the image is further back as shown in the second image. Is this normal behavior or am I missing something? Watched screen recording but it's not saved to the desktop I recently recorded a session with my dad. I stopped the recording after the session ended (with the setting set to save to Desktop), clicked the icon that appeared on the lower right corner to open the file, and played back a few minutes to make sure it worked. I then clicked Share to send it via AirDrop to my computer, which did not work; the status remained &quot;cancelled&quot; despite my efforts. I assumed I'd be able to access it through my phone by sending it through a third app, so I pressed cancel on the AirDrop pop-up window. The entire screen recording closed and (apparently) vanished forever after the action. I'm extremely frustrated because I can't seem to locate this video. Moving an already-running process to Screen My office job routinely sees me connected to a Linux box via VNC.  Sometimes I start a remote job on the console, and realize later that it runs much longer than expected. (Should have started that one under Screen in the first place...)  I don't want to keep my workstation running overnight just to keep the VNC session open; I would like  to move that already-running remote job into a Screen session (on the remote box), so I can power down the workstation (and reconnect next morning).  How can this be done, if at all? How can I make a program executable from everywhere What should I do if I want to be able to run a given program regardless of my current directory? Should I create a symbolic link to the program in the /bin folder? How to remove comma and "and" before institutional last author after compiling BibTeX I have the following BibTeX entry:  @article{pubmed18800157,     author = {Heng, T.S. and Painter, M.W. and Immunological Genome Project Consortium},     title = {The {I}mmunological {G}enome {P}roject: networks of gene expression in immune cells.},     journal = {Nat. Immunol.},     pages = {1091-1094},     volume = {9},     number ={10},     year = {2008}, }, %\bibliographystyle{unsrt}   When the bibliography is generated, it puts comma a the end of the author:   Notice the comma after M.W. Painter. Is there a way to remove it? Why do PBX systems use -48 V? I have a bunch of external and internal HDDs that I use on a Linux system. I only have Linux systems, so using a Linux file-system would only make sense, right? However I'm currently using NTFS everywhere, because it gives me the most usable space out of HDDs.  I would like to switch to Linux file-systems now though, mostly because of permissions and compability (e.g. I can't get my LUKS encrypted NTFS partition to resize under Linux, keeps telling me to chkdsk under Windows).  However when I formatted those HDDs I tried out a bunch of different filesystems and every Linux filesystem, even ext2 which as far as I know has no journaling, used a lot of space for itself. I don't recall exact values, but it was over 100GB that NTFS got me more on a 2TB HDD, which is a lot.  So my question is: Is there a way to make ext-filesystems use less space for themselves? Or is there another filesystem (I've tried ext2, ext3, ext4, NTFS and vfat - None of them came even close to the usable space NTFS offered me) with perfect Linux support and great usable space?  I'd love to hear about how and why filesystems (especially ext2 which has no journaling) use that much more space than NTFS and I don't know where else to ask. I'd mostly prefer a way to use ext4 without journaling and anything else that uses up this much space, if that's possible. What are the best workarounds for using a SQL IN clause with instances of java.sql.PreparedStatement, which is not supported for multiple values due to SQL injection attack security issues: One ? placeholder represents one value, rather than a list of values.  Consider the following SQL statement:  SELECT my_column FROM my_table where search_column IN (?)   Using preparedStatement.setString( 1, "'A', 'B', 'C'" ); is essentially a non-working attempt at a workaround of the reasons for using ? in the first place.    What workarounds are available? Why do mathematicians use single-letter variables? I want to write a function that returns the nearest next power of 2 number. For example if my input is 789, the output should be 1024. Is there any way of achieving this without using any loops but just using some bitwise operators?
