I just want to know how it was made. It looks like the entire presentation is encapsulated inside of a "canvas" tag.

I could argue that ethanol has 1/3 the latent heat of vaporization of water, and would boil off 3 times quicker. However, what ultimately matters is the rate of heat transfer, so m…

I'm looking for a language with the performance of C++ and the ease of Python, and I've been constantly told that Rust fits that spec. I'll look into Zig, but I'm hesitant about us…

An aphorism has been in my memory for a long time, that goes like this: It's better to be a warrior in a garden than a gardener in a war.

>"Today, there's a different language with ugly historical baggage that enjoys a strong following, *notably amongst people that don't identify as programmers*. *That language is Py…

By all means, feel free to fact check our textbooks, news broadcasts, and statements from official sources. But when I log on to social media to rant about how UFOs are time-travel…

There is a semantic issue here that's bothering me: the word "Fact" is a contronym. I was taught in elementary school that facts don't need to be true to be a "fact". Nearly 3 deca…

I challenge you to use this refocusing ability to pass the Stroop Test: https://faculty.washington.edu/chudler/words.html You are given a list of color names, written in font color…

The difference is that we know for a fact that the proper implementation works for integers up to 2^31, whereas the improper implementation deceived us into thinking that the code …

I'm not going to try to predict the shape of a protein from a chain of amino acids. I'm not going to try to predict the behavior of a human cell from Schrodinger's equation. My pro…

At this time, I mean every hormone and protein flowing in the bloodstream, along with the state of every single cell. Essentially, enough detail to get a list of symptoms and bodil…

Interesting information... it prompted me to do more research. According to wikipedia, Vitamin B-9 is broken down by our bodies into a family of compounds called "THF", which: 1. H…

>how can I enter someone's house, shop or car knowing that there will be no less than a half dozen devices listening to my voice or shooting a picture of me without asking? There a…

N95 filters are rated based on how many 0.3-micron particles they can block. They are rated for that particle size because that particle size is the hardest particle size to block …

HEPA filters block particles smaller than it's rated size, and they block those particles more easily than larger particles because of Brownian motion and the physics of electrosta…

My questions with this line of research are always: 1) How do you deal with the toxic ozone gas that's produced, and 2) How do you prevent eye damage from happening when you look a…

On the other hand, TV, radio, the printing press, and rock-and-roll music have all been called a "monumental change", "unlike anything before it", in the past. An "unprecedented ne…

If the mechanism doesn't involve powerful neodynium magnets, then they will end up creating even more space debris.

As far as I'm concerned, apologizing for the appeal to authority signalled that he was open to being criticized and challenged by layman, rather than choosing to belittle those who…

Whether or not NIH funding created SARS-CoV-2 is immaterial to Rand Paul's central point, which was that the NIH illegally funded gain-of-function research.

Last time I checked, the top 3 countries in terms of vaccination rates are also the top 3 countries in terms of number of active covid cases. Israel is #1 in vaccination rates and …

Military funding of Bin Laden isn't that far-fetched, and it may have possibly been true in the past[0], but 9/11 truthers believe that the World Trade Center was taken down by mis…

Before I start binging on every single aspect of your social media, I gotta know: Have you tried applying your hobby towards reducing the cost of healthcare in America? Could you s…

I recommend reading Axios. It feels like they're trying their best to stick to the facts and avoid editorializing. I will happily listen to other recommendations.

Some forms of antitrust enforcement exists to protect the worker, other forms exist to protect the consumer. In either case, metrics can be employed to test whether success has bee…
