Weak reference

In computer programming, a weak reference is a reference that does not protect the referenced object from collection by a garbage collector, unlike a strong reference. An object referenced only by weak references – meaning "every chain of references that reaches the object includes at least one weak reference as a link" – is considered weakly reachable, and can be treated as unreachable and so may be collected at any time. Some garbage-collected languages feature or support various levels of weak references, such as C#, Java, Lisp, OCaml, Perl, Python and PHP since the version 7.4. (Wikipedia).

What are frames of reference in physics?

What's a frame of reference and the two types? How can you tell? Watch and find out. This leads to a conundrum Einstein had about how light behaves in different frames of reference and led to a radical new way of thinking. That will be covered in subsequent videos See www.physicshigh.com

Hindsight Bias in the Classroom – Why Learning Statistics is Harder Than it Looks (0-3)

Hindsight Bias is the inclination to see events that have already occurred, as being more predictable than they were before they took place. We tend to look back on events as being simple and something that we might have already known. Hindsight bias often occurs in statistics class when y
