Plastic-eating Enzyme Could Eliminate Billions of Tons of Landfill Waste – UT News
Mmm, plastic-eating bacteria. THAT won’t cause any trouble.
“Researchers at the Cockrell School of Engineering and College of Natural Sciences used a machine learning model to generate novel mutations to a natural enzyme called PETase that allows bacteria to degrade PET plastics. The model predicts which mutations in these enzymes would accomplish the goal of quickly depolymerizing post-consumer waste plastic at low temperatures.”
My little Angular project
So… I’m working on a little hobby side project as part of my journey of discovery into Angular 16 and Material and a bunch of other stuff. (I taught myself Angular back in the version 2, 4 days, and am responsible for a dormant Angular 8 app at work.) I always though it’d be cool to have a blog acting as sort of a journal as I go, so others can learn along with me if they want (I’m trying to be a bit didactic about it).
It just occurred to me that my commits actually serve the purpose, albeit in rough, ragged form. I have an org-mode file in the repo that I’m maintaining sort of as a journal, so, between that, and the (hopefully well-commented) code changes I’m making, it should just fall out. You can stick the RSS URL into your favorite feed reader (I use https://newsblur.com) and get notified whenever I make a change (mostly on the weekends, probably).
Happy to entertain questions and comments, if anybody’s interested.
