I don't know what part he plays but Drew Berry is credited in some of the most compelling videos on molecular biology that I've ever seen. They really bring the machinery of biology to life. Most of them are at the WEHIMovies ch

Agree. Neo4j’s visualization tools are surprisingly painful to use. I’d love to find something that allowed you to trivially add code to the layout engine. Graphviz’s clustering capability seems to be unique among any of the tools I’ve us

Had the same question. I always have a roll of that aluminum tape around and find uses for it in hot spots. This seems like it could be better in cases where there’s some flex. It’s probably got a lot higher tensile strength than most tap

Kind of a low effort dunk don't you think?

That's the point I was getting at originally. I'm not as interested in tracing the neurophysical effects of perception. I'm interested in the components and coordinate space inside the 'game engine' where my percep

For anyone interested in a bit more context around microtubules, here's a video that shows how they are built and used to support cell mitosis https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0JpOJ4F4984 I wish my biology class back in

If someone is explaining a process and uses a term that I'm not sure I understand (eg. 'upsetting' in blacksmithing or 'sparging' in brewing) they are quite literally wasting their breath and our time. That informa

N00b astrophotographer here. I can't see the images but this sounds correct. (Edit: paste the two images into an image editor and look at the histogram. You'll see it)

Yes, IIUC basically that's the point where the local particle speed is no longer sufficient to clear the leading edge of the wave.

And yet somehow, as far as we know, the energy of every molecular collision is faithfully preserved during a supernova, when effectively the entire volume of a star collapses into its core in less then a second. Reality is very strange.

Nice callout. Done.

I love it when I'm halfway through something and take a second to pause and wonder why someone put so much effort into it, and them I appreciate that they did. This is amazing. One thing that surprised me the first time I learned it i

I think my interest in the advances in science that JWST is bringing is largely eclipsed by the joy that the folks who lived for years with a gnawing concern that it may never see first light are able to sit back and enjoy the fruits of the

I would have a very difficult time coming up with an actionable policy where the objective, implementation and side-effects could all be modeled to a point where the policy in its entirety could be described as based on objective truth.

If the earth is 750 pixels wide in the default zoom, each pixel is 10mi/16km. Scale image of the ISS would be roughly 1/150th of a pixel.

Exactly! Seems very plausible.

I just saw a breakdown of a crash where the engine shut down, allowing the clutch to stop slipping. That final clamp dumped a huge impulse into the drivetrain and ripped the tires off the wheels. (At least that's the way I understood

Having just had a wisdom tooth extracted, something that can help them locate nerves for targeted local anesthesia would be nice. In both this and a crown procedure I had done ten years ago the needle hit a nerve bundle and it felt like my

Second the Heineken, definitely recommend trying Guiness's NA stout, I think it's actually quite good. There's an alcohol free wine called Fre. It tastes mostly like a dry grape juice, but it's fairly sippable.
