Probably the most significant rewrite was from the original 68K assembly, not surprisingly championed by Jean-Louis Gassee who also opened up the hardware side. Once code was in C (which was being standardized), they could work on porting a

FISH works for both DNA and RNA. When articles have pretty colors lighting up the inside of a cell, it's likely FISH. First google hit is a 2020 summary of RNA-FISH, "Technical review and guide to RNA fluorescence in situ hybridi

(warning: ignorant curiosity from someone with no chemical engineering background) This is a nice design: the chiral DNA turbine follows a leading leash into the nanopore, and the trailing cap keeps it from flowing through. The ion/ele

Twitter isn't about people connecting, or even about advertisers and making money. It's about controlling the national conversation. Anything noisy enough on twitter will be picked up by hungry media of all sorts, so a steady str

fyi, I can't get used to the term me*space. I can hardly type it. It articulates a level of contempt for humanity that can only be borne of complete dissociation or deep hatred. I know that's not how it's meant, but I real

It's complicated. Overall it's better to do most anything to protect kids' development, but doing so is tough. Leaded avgas mainly benefits turbines, which are a minority of GA planes but the majority of avgas users, because

This is a great summary of a complex topic, but I wouldn't put safety or experimentation as the primary driver. As you suggested, MOSAIC is likely a way to migrate people off experimentals to discontinue that little idealistic free-fo

There are two main aspects of misperceiving difficulty/opportunity. The first relates to feedback clarity. For someone at 98% in a class or life, the few next things are easy to see and focus on, and are typically small delta's fr

Only stressed people want to relax. Otherwise, we want to do more. The changing-baseline effect is an artifact of a particular market competition. Housing prices went up as two-earner households increased faster than the housing supply.

A real question is why IBM, Apple, and Microsoft poured millions into developing the unicode standard instead of treating character encoding like file formats as a venue for competition. IBM and Apple in the early 1990's combined in Ta

Thanks for the link. It's easy to dismiss Oracle technologies (because ... Oracle), but we should consider the implications. As a reminder, Oracle won the Java enterprise database market for a decade by embedding Java in the VM, and op

A Swift package can have modules/targets that are C/C++. It delegates the module building to clang, and Swift can both read/use those modules and publish its own API for use from C/C++. In Swift the "unsafe"
