My interpretation was that the actual mass of the bob doesn’t contribute to the period of the pendulum. I suppose it could shift the centre of mass somewhat relative to the mass of the rod?

Sure the specs are better on other devices, but it comes down to what you'll actually use. Being so tiny I can just toss it in my pocket, and read a few pages with no effort. It's like having a fancy notebook: you end up being very intentional when you write in it, but you'll happily jot something on a scrap of paper without second thought.

That's kind of the way Tangled works, right? Although it's Yet Another Platform so it's still a little bit locked in...

There are realtime systems for traffic analysis. I know of Addinsight, e.g.

How does Gerrit manage this? Are the comments associated with the source content, instead of commits?

Here's a guy playing with a supercritical CO2 pressure vessel on a table (seems a little brave to be shaking something at such high pressures!)

There is a Help->Rules link on all of the puzzles linked here. It can be a little tricky to decipher them if you're coming to them completely brand new, however. I mostly use them as a refresher.

Maybe a PS/2 touchpad that is triggering (a bunch of) interrupts? Not sure how hardware interrupts work with RT!

I actually had a concurrency bug that I was able to capture with rr: an MPI job where I only ran rr on rank 0 and managed to figure out where a different send/recv ordering was causing issues. In fact, it was also a Python model that ties in with a lot of native code generation, so quite a complex issue.

I thought it might work a little like the NYT sudoku app: placed numbers delete candidate notes automatically, but you can also manually toggle candidates on/off. I guess a once-off generation would probably work to achieve this?

Sounds like a refactor error, from the linked Issue:

What is the backend for the storage buckets we see in cloud (and increasingly, HPC) computing? Seems like a database filesystem would be a good fit there.
