The truth is, there are still 5+ competing options within NASA, with each center having staff familiar with different tools, and with a generally large learning curve for new tools it is a hard sell to use something new. Most of the time,

Most tool brands (milwaukee, dewalt, ryobi) are transitioning from tool companies to battery companies. Lots of cheap tools and expensive batteries. Also, battery powered chainsaws (husqvarna is well regarded for their chainsaws): https:&

This seems to be a great way to stick a small wifi-tracking device (skyhook based, report location whenever it finds open wifi network) in any AA powered device. You'd have to figure out how to put a 1.5v battery on the board so the o

I wanted to write this post after the left-pad debacle but I've been beaten to it. I think we got to this state because everyone was optimizing js code for load time-- include only what you need, use closure compiler when it matters, e

Underscore/lodash is a great bundle of functions that do simple things well. And it's a tiny enough library that there is really no need to split it into 270 modules. I support packages of utility functions. Distributing them indi

As a long distance runner I have no doubt there's value to exercise. It pays to be healthy. It's also hard to stick to an exercise plan year round. This is a small sample size study that only lasted 4 weeks. Anecdotally, longer
