eternauta3k··on Deaf girl is cured in world first gene therapy trial
> Personally I'd just prefer wearing glasses that shift the UV to some other part of the spectrum.

Does this exist? I thought those kinds of non-linear effects only happen at extremely high fields (e.g. with a very fast pulsed laser to concentrate energy in time)

I guess the person would have no associations with the pure color red. Non-colorblind people have a life full of memories where red is associated with blood, lipstick, flushed cheeks, race cars, etc. plus the associated feelings.

I'm guessing they only really get the full effect of the therapy after they've lived without colorblindness for a while and made those associations.

Do you think there's a fundamental difference between getting a new color receptor and training yourself to recognize/differentiate more of the colors you already have the receptors to distinguish?

If the cavitation really is important then no, it won't have the same effect. But maybe the cavitation is not important! Try it out and report back.

eternauta3k··on Runtipi: Docker-based home server management
You can keep them separate with Docker. I'm not sure what the workflow looks like, however: you make a simple image with just (say) alpine + apache, you run a shell there, set everything up, and when it works you basically try to replicate all the things you did manually in the Dockerfile? So in the end, you have to do everything twice?

Part of the drag scales with the relative velocity between the surface of the wheel and the water. If they move with ~0 relative speed, drag is reduced.

Nitpick: squaring makes numbers greater than 1 bigger, and numbers smaller than 1 smaller. In this case we're squaring something with units, and we can't say the input is greater or smaller than the output, because they have different units. What we can say, is that v^2 curves upward: it grows faster with increasing v, and slower with decreasing v.
