I’ll write an explanation here, but I’ll try to answer all questions from the thread. Also quantum mechanics is complicated, so sorry for the long text.

Electron orbitals are weird and complicated, for hydrogen we can solve them analytically and depending on the quantum number of the energy levels we are looking at, they take the forms as in the picture on Wikipedia:

Now whatever energy levels and quantum numbers are, what we are seeing is the probability of the location of the outer most electron (ok hydrogen only has one).

To understand bonds, we don’t really need the picture of orbitals, but what’s important is understanding that electrons occupy shells. A certain number of atoms can fit into a shell and when it’s full, the electrons start a new shell. It gets complicated quickly with more electrons, however in the simpler case, a shell can fit 2n^2 electrons, where n is the shell number. So for n=1, a maximum of 2 electrons can fit, for n=2, a maximum of 8 electrons can fit.

Shells want to be filled, so that leads to two possible bond types. If an atom with a free electron comes close to an atom that has a free spot for an electron, the electron can hop over to the other atom, at which point we have an ionic bond (the atom that loses the electron loses one electric charge and is thus positively charged, the other atoms gains an electric charge and is then negatively charged, so they want to be together).

Another option is covalent bonding, where instead of an electron jumping to another atom, the atoms actually share the electron.

Now do orbitals overlap? I wouldn’t give that question a yes or no, because, at that level, we can’t really separate atoms anymore. When the atoms are far apart we can draw separate orbitals for both, but when they get together, new orbitals form that is the solution of the electronic configuration of the new molecule we just created. It’s more like the orbitals that we have get deformed into new orbitals.

I’d like to tinker with the hardware but unfortunately it’s just not necessary. Love the device

It’s a shame that all of the bee’s food reserves are sold

I wanted to see for myself and it looks like the spectra of the sun and moon are fairly similar:

Moon: https://olino.org/blog/us/articles/2015/10/05/spectrum-of-moon-light/comment-page-1/

Sun: https://seos-project.eu/earthspectra/images/Solar-spectrum_th.png

Looks pretty similar I gotta say

That being said, the intensity is of course much lower of the light reflected from the moon.

I think it would help if people used the cross posting feature

I understand that people have to fight to defend against a narcissistic idiot. We can still choose to live our life the way we want to, there are other ways of showing love for your country too, you know.

Denying entry for people in need can’t be the answer. Honestly, it’s unfair that we were lucky enough to be born into a stable country. It’s unfair that other people have to live under dictators looking only for their personal interest. It’s unfair that people have to live under the consequences of global power struggles and it’s also unfair that Western countries exploit other nations and then don’t lend assistance when everything turns to shit.

How can you justify sending away these people that are fleeing from warzones or due to global warming. They are losing family and their homes and yet, they spent their life worrying while we can go to restaurants, cafes, play in parks, go hiking, swimming or biking without ever having to worry.

Leaning into the immigration policy of the right cannot be the answer, there has to be another solution.

I wonder if Nvidia / Intel would’ve been forced to help out AMD to get around a monopoly. Wasn’t that a thing with Microsoft and apple in the 90s?

You can’t pin that on the voter because not voting for the democrats is effectively voting for the republicans. It’s a problem of the two party system

Yeah I’ve been on bupropion for about 1.5 years. Had an increased heart rate in the beginning as well so we started at a very low dosis, then went up step by step. However the side effects vanished after 2 months. I don’t feel hyper active, I just don’t feel super low anymore. It doesn’t make the depression go away but it allows me to work on it, because otherwise I couldn’t even get out of bed

There are amphetamine antidepressants. You can ask your doctor about it (e.g. bupropion, which is not addictive).

Here is a clip of a talk show where Robert Habeck of the green party explains why nuclear is not ecological:

I think it is clear for most people that nuclear is not sustainable and only a short term solution. Now is actually a great opportunity to push for renewable energies also because it is important to get a foot into the market before China takes it all.

Given that you probably are using pointers, and occasionally you are allocating memory, smart pointers handle deallocation for you. And yes, you can do it yourself but it is prone to errors and maybe sometimes you forget a case and memory doesn’t get deallocated and suddenly there is a leak in the program.

When you’re there, shared_ptr is used when you want to store the pointer in multiple locations, unique_ptr when you only want to have one instance of the pointer (you can move it around though).

Smart pointers are really really nice, I do recommend getting used to them (and all other features from c++11 forward).
