Check out the material-ui `next` branch. It isn't released but I'm using it (and publishing my own private package) for a soon to be production application. While not all components are ported, it has enough to use, run the `doc

This is almost exactly what I have done. I took enough time off to accept the change, lose the working habit, and shed the rest of that identity. I came to find I love working in tech. Sometimes I work long hours when I'm enjoying the

Because many bought simultaneously with new Apple releases and have been waiting to see the next major version. In my case our MacBook pros are > 3.5 years old, which is too old for my comfort level; I expect major failures after 3 years

I disagree, I think it is a human tendency because it is often the path of least resistance (short term, but long term can accumulate and be not worth the alternative). So while culturally it might have higher numbers in women, the numbers

I appreciate your reference to Maslow's hierarchy of needs. Assuming you have met safety/security (#1), general philosophy of living presently would ask "why measure at all?"

Agreed, I did a short bit of research on simulation, and in this case (rotational dynamics) moment of inertia is substituted for mass in the force calculation, and when standing still, that is always near zero. Therefore very little en

Mercedes-AMG E63S 4matic with 590hp ~$105k does it in 3.5s, and that is very fast. The Tesla is indeed ludicrous.
