I just came to comment that Math.JS is a real gem. Kudos to the authors. Incredibly flexible to add deep functionality to. I used it to build a custom spreadsheet application and wow'ed the heck out of my client.

Water shields double bonds from UV light preventing them from breaking down. For examples of this look no further than PCBs (polychorinated biphenyls, not circuit boards)

I worked on this during my undergrad in 2004. DARPA grant back then. Basically the military has to haul trash where ever they go or burn it, they can save money by embedding these enzymes directly into the plastic and turning it into fuel.

I understand that most major purchases have guidelines and ways to protect consumers but I just can't imagine spending 80k on something and not consistently demanding to see progress toward an end goal. When I was consulting I had a bu

"way less substitutions" we had three no-ask substitutions on our very last order and arugula that spoiled in two days time. Canceled our trial. Instacart, at least in NYC, is a mess IMO.

That's half a teaspoon a day. I cook every single day, so I'm very well aware of how little that is. Id rather die a bit earlier then limit my added salt to half a teaspoon. Just don't eat processed food. Also restaurant food

Seriously, I like Steven Pinker, but I find this view naive. Here is a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ti9zdpLlXf0 called "How Hollywood Gets Nietzsche Wrong". I haven't read the source texts yet (Twil

Ai yai yai. People need to stop adopting tools thinking it'll be the panacea of communication and organization. Insofar as the author says that I agree. But I think it is equally short sited to blame the tool. Whatever tool you choose,

Yes the gloves are interesting, and I'm sorry if this is off topic, but that steering wheel is incredible. If you search for images of F1 steering wheels it looks like they are all custom within some parameters.

I understand your sentiment, but I think your wording is a bit mean spirited. I don't think this person "expects a prize", nor do I think this is a trait that can be applied to millenials as a whole. My sister who has hired l

Yes, you would never do this unless writes were completely disallowed to your app. You will save time building the indices in one-shot.

In the past I've used a single repo with all the code which gets pushed everywhere, and each service only runs it's portion of the code. No guess work involved, but this may not work for a lot of setups of course. That and your gr

I'd be interested to see how the age of the children correlates with regret. That is, do parents regret having children when the child is 2? How about 12? How about 22? I don't have a hypothesis on how that would play out, but it
