i’m currently going through the process of getting my new laptop ready for mobile development through Cordova, a setup with the reliability of a coughing baby. i’ve painstakingly written down notes detailing every single step over the years and it is still giving me headaches every time. everything has changed somehow. i’ve just reinstalled a precise version of gradle (don’t ask) and the folder architecture is apparently completely different this time around. help me

reproducibility in software development is a naff pursuit we’re all just trying not to fall off a giant jenga tower whose pieces keep getting switched out

I assume by modelling what it would do to your tastebuds, comparing that to other tastes’ reactions, etc.

No idea how they’d verify the models but that’s how I think they’d do it

In the comments section of a Twitter post, an individual, Daniel Feldman, shed light on an incident involving Donald Mastick, an American chemist, who accidentally swallowed a small amount of plutonium during an experiment gone awry in 1944. The vial containing the plutonium chloride dissolved in an acid solution exploded in the laboratory, prompting Mastick to recover the plutonium he had ingested. According to Feldman and Wikipedia, Mastick had his stomach pumped and his breath tested for radioactivity for the rest of his life. He was also forbidden from working in a laboratory again. Despite these setbacks, Mastick lived until the age of 87 and even obtained a Ph.D. in physics.

They literally just tasted it like they ate it and everything
