That's a bit like chlorine gas is poisonous, but sodium chloride (salt) makes things tasty. Highly different compounds, that just contain chlorine atoms.

You can probably get denser packing (at least in theory), if you allow rotation. It's just ugly: https://kingbird.myphotos.cc/packing/squares_in_squares.html

I've worked in a company that wrote Java code that needed to avoid false cacheing. It was fairly understandable and the tooling made it quite testable for performance regressions. However, the issue in the Netflix blogpost is in the JV

If only it were the case that we hadn't caused massive climate change by burning fossil fuels, causing a severe drought across Europe, so that there were a shortage of simple cooling fluid for the nuclear power plants. If only we could

I didn't know about most of these fermented soy products - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fermented_soy_products But Tempeh is a pretty common one for vegans. I've used it in curries and stir fries.

Thanks also for the nostalgia trip watching the adverts near the end! I forgot that alcohol and tobacco advertising was on TV back then.

"Whatever the truth is, isn’t it about time we found out?" Most other vegans I know seem to be very aware of the nutrition issues, and take EPA/DHA supplements and extra vitamins. "Nootch" - nutritional yeast - is a

It must be fun to come up with a hypothesis like this and be able to put some engineering constraints on the likelihood of it. And then being able to summarise it in a fairly readable 4 pages.

It looks fun. Well done! One thought I had ... it'd be useful if you can add some features to support accessibility.

I can't work out what's going on from that site. The tutorial and download sections seem like a placeholder, and the github link is dead, with the user having no related project (publicly). I found this but it is quite old: https

Probably needs a NSFW tag for some tame black and white photos with nipples. I couldn't guess from the title whether it was female-free or free-diving. It's the latter, which is cool.

:) There's always one. FWIW I noticed Flora do a plant-based range now that's quite good. They label the 'butter' as Plant B+tter.

Agreed. Some vegans/vegetarians don't want their food labelled meat either. However please don't compare the modern industrial meat production with anything like farming from, say, 500 years ago, or with ancient hunting. Mode

Yes, as long as this isn't going down the route of "consumers will get confused" by terms like "oat milk". People aren't that stupid and the arguments against using the word milk annoy me. I think it's a s

Great, but ... why ? How does this benefit me? The code examples in other comments seem to have variations of : return (circle, rectangle) -> circle.apply(x, y, r); Why should my code for circles care about rectangles? This loo

Just being a bit pedantic ... more than half? Atoms typically have more neutrons than protons, and neutrons also weigh slightly more. Surely I'm >50% neutrons by mass?

Hmm. The 6502 is/was often set up to access the memory only half the time. For example a 1MHz CPU would be interfaced with 2MHz memory, and access every other cycle. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MOS_Technology_650
