Not sure if I was doing it wrong, but I recently started putting the pizza out of the oven and into the frozen pizza box it came in. It's much cleaner!

It's tough to portray just how ubiquitous smoking was to a modern audience. You would go to a restaurant and the first thing your hostess would ask is "smoking or non"? I remember standing in a checkout line in the 80s as a c

It's also big in molecular dynamic and quantum molecular simulations. Think protein folding, protein engineering, small molecule drug discovery.

It's interesting to note that as methamphetamine and amphetamine were more regulated in the 50s and 60s, it became more prevalent. Then in order to stamp out illegal production, the precursor chemicals were monitored. So what happens?

You're correct. However, you would create a library and make map an interface and create implementations for the types you need. e.g. https://github.com/wavebitscientific/functional-fortran/blob...

I use Graphviz to create Entity Relationship (ER) diagrams for my database schemas. One pain point with graphviz is that once the database table schema becomes large (> 10-15 tables), the layout of the tables becomes awkward. There are t

LED growlights have been commonly available for years. I was using them a decade ago for horticulture. I don't see how an LED company could even NOT be making them. The cannabis industry alone is huge. Seems like Cree is very behind th

The problem is when legitimate challengers DO arise, the "scientific consensus" is very quick to gate keep their little subfield. I know how "the scientific consensus" is used to suppress new scientific research. So when

What I want to see is a model that can generate 3D models for use in applications such as Blender. It would provide a good starting point for someone with talent to make beautiful. Or just save people like me time for making games.

What's starting to be creepy is how easily people are ascribing meaning to statistical models. Loab is essentially a single image that resulted from statistical noise and her creator iterated on. It reminds me of the researcher from Go

To determine who goes first, you can just have one player select even or odd, then both role dice. The even/odd of the sum of both dice determines who goes first.

This seems very 2008. There was this belief in the summer time that everything was going to be fine, the stock market would just keep going up and up. You could tell something was amiss in the housing market, but no one wanted to give you

Protein structural data is the beginning of the problem, modeling the complex chemical reactions and interactions between proteins is where drug discovery happens.

I'm sort of surprised they didn't extract/synthesize psilocybin directly and administer that. Decades ago, I grew a few batches of P. Cubensis. Even amongst mushrooms from the same rice cake, the dosage wildly varies. You cou
