Detroit Plateau


Plateau in Antarctica

Detroit Plateau (64°10′S 60°0′W / 64.167°S 60.000°W / -64.167; -60.000Coordinates: 64°10′S 60°0′W / 64.167°S 60.000°W / -64.167; -60.000) is a major interior plateau of Graham Land, with heights between 1,500 and 1,900 metres (4,900 and 6,200 ft). Its northeast limit is marked by the south wall of Russell West Glacier, from which it extends some 90 miles (140 km) in a general southwest direction to Herbert Plateau. The plateau was observed from the air by Sir Hubert Wilkins on a flight of December 20, 1928. Wilkins named it Detroit Aviation Society Plateau after the society which aided in the organizing of his expedition but the shortened form of the original name is approved. The north and east sides of the plateau were charted by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey in 1946-47.[1]


Dinsmoor Glacier is a glacier flowing east from the south edge of Detroit Plateau.

266 58 I'm trying to execute some PHP code on a project (using Dreamweaver) but the code isn't being run.

Apache is running properly (I'm working with XAMPP), the PHP pages are being opened properly but the PHP code isn't being executed. Does someone have a suggestion about what is happening?

Cardinality of the set of algorithms

Image
15 3 $begingroup$ Someone in a discussion brought up that (he reckons) there can be at least continuum number of strategies to approach a specific problem. The specific problem was trading strategies (not algorithms but strategies) but I think thats beside the point for my question. This got me thinking about the cardinality of the set of algorithms. I have been searching around a bit but have come up with nothing. I've been thinking that, since turing machines operate with a finite set of alphabet and the tape has to be indexable thus countable, it's impossible to have uncountable number of algorithms. My set theory is admittedly rusty so I am not certain at all my reasoning is valid and I probably wouldn't be able to prove it, but it's an interesting thought. What is the cardinality of the set of algorithms? algorithms turing-machines combinatorics share | cite | improve this question edited Aug 28 '18 at 13:59 Raphael ♦ 57.8k 24...
