Software design is the process of preparing the plan for the development of a software application while satisfying a problem’s functional requirements and not violating its non-functional constraints. During this process, tradeoffs need to be made, like the tradeoff between performance and resource consumption, so that the application is optimized to meet the non-functional requirements. […] More
A cellular pathway is a series of actions among molecules in a cell that leads to a certain product or a change in the cell. It can trigger the construction of new molecules, such as a fat or protein, turn genes on and off, or cause a cell to move. More

Understanding biology is one of reverse engineering. You have a complex system and you need to understand how it works. It’s like having a laptop and trying to figure out how it works. You press the keyboard and different key combinations to see what it does. More
What are models? Physical systems represented in math form A commitment of certain understanding Approximation of parts of reality Abstractions Mathematical equations Can be a computer program Characterized by Variables (the things that change) Parameters (the things that don’t change) Functional forms (the relationship that connects the two) How you model a system is completely […] More
Supply chain management includes all the processes that transform raw materials into final products. The raw materials are usually sourced from a number of different locations and then transported to a central manufacturing facility that creates the products. The finished products are then shipped to the point of sale/consumption.
The objective of supply chain management is to streamline a business’s supply-side activities to minimize production costs and maximize customer value to gain a competitive advantage in the marketplace.
RETRIEVAL PRACTICE Reviewing what you’ve learned from memory, e.g., through recall, is more effective at instilling lasting ability than re-reading or reviewing notes. Using your memory to retrieve facts, concepts, events, or other ideas strengthens your ability to do so in the future, and “resets” the natural forgetting mechanism. ELABORATION Elaborating on material you have […] More
Mark to market is an accounting method that values an asset at its current market value, instead of how much you purchased it for. It shows how much you would receive if you sold the asset today. More
Energy is the ability to do work or cause a change. Work is done when you apply energy to an object and move it a certain distance. There are different forms of energy: Potential – energy due to position or structure: Gravitational Electrical Chemical energy – potential energy in chemical bonds Kinetic – the energy […] More
As an easy way to fit the idea of solar panels in your mind, consider that we would need enough solar panels to cover every single road in America to fully power our electrical grid. More
A tech stack, or solutions stack, is a list of all the technology products and tools used to build and run a particular application. It is the underlying elements of a web or mobile application. These include frameworks, languages, and software products that everything else is built on. For example, you might have created a […] More
A server is a computer program that quietly listens in on a port and waits for requests to come in, typically HTTP requests. The program then fetches the requested file, processes it, and sends it back to the client. More
