GE "created the jet engine"? British would disagree

A friend had a pet rescue Wistar rat (albino lab rat). Super fun and friendl :) but they only live about 3 years :(

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. …

In development since 2001! Impressively familiar to me

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 cooli…

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 i…

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 a…

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 c…
