I lived on an island in the middle of the Panama Canal for a few years, one of the hottest and most humid places imaginable. We had no AC. Everyone used a top sheet instead of a comforter or blanket, and had a ceiling fan going at night. It

Yes, the headline is a little dishonest. It's a 486 year-old story not 3,000 years.

If Warren Delano (the author of PyMol) were still with us, I think he would be amazed at where we are now with AlphaFold, and all the rest. At least what he hoped for, that software like this would be open source and peer-reviewable, has mo

I think it actually was an Apple innovation, at least for {hobbyist, home, personal} computers. I did some digging and wasn't able to find anything before the Apple II+ in 1979. Please do prove me wrong, though!

It’s $499 with the wireless charger. I see that the charger isn’t required. You can take the battery out of the knife and charge it by USB. I would correct my comment, but it is no longer possible for me to edit it.

A good quality well sharpened knife already works incredibly well, doesn't cost $500, doesn't need to be recharged, and isn't going to be e-waste in 5 years (when the battery fails). It's a cool idea, and I hope it is co

Mike Pall is still active occasionally, but there has been little development since 2017 and nobody else seems to have picked up the ball (but someone out there prove me wrong!).

Even if you use exactly the same ingredients, there is the temperature of the butter and how good a job you do of creaming it. Then there are factors like how do you mix the ingredients, and for how long. These all affect the final product.

I wish they would offer the 17 pro in some lighter colors (like the new sage green for the regular 17). Not everyone wants bold, and the color selection for pro is always so limited. They don't even have white with this generation, jus

Just a counterexample: At Stanford, 36% of graduate students are international students (2024-2025 AY). While there are very good reasons for this, I think it's hard to argue that international students are not displacing US students,

In the late 1970s, my dad purchased an S-100 bus computer from Thinker Toys for about $3,000 (would be close to $15,000 today after adjusting for inflation). It had a Z80 microprocessor and ran CP/M. As was true of many hobbyist comput
