Quote: One of the most reliable ways to discern whether a corporation has begun to rot is to gauge the derivative of the utility its products provide over time.
Hyperbole right off the bat. A sure indication of truth in the article.  Probably a good read nonetheless.

I figure it's a filter, as it's probably a sign of intelligence that someone knows what a derivative is.

I expected as much after spending an entire afternoon trying to write a simple app in Angular and not getting it done.
I then tried Vue.js and I was up and running in an hour.

There is definitely a lot of 'plumbing' required just to get a simple page up and running and retrieving data from a web api. It would have been nicer if it were a bit simpler. But overall I still like using it and would rather use it than Asp.Net MVC.

Ah... I did look at that word, but I couldn't work out how to get it so I didn't want to just post a guess, couldn't even get close to a solution for it.
And for some reason I was only playing around the the chemical symbols, rather than the full names. Amateur mistake!

Not a fan of indirect anagrams, to be honest.
The possible permutations of TwelveLetterAnagram(Synonym("Attracts") + NobleGases.Any()) must be pretty vast.
Who (apart from Griff) actually claimed that this was solvable?
Anyway, everyday being a school-day and all that, I have at least learned that there is one more noble gas than there was when I was a kid. Oganesson (formerly ununoctium) has apparently swollen the ranks of Group 18 even though it doesn't actually exist. They're a funny old crowd, them chemistry types ...

Well ... @DRHuff did. And I suspect that @musefan would have, if he hadn't got hung up on chemical; symbols. 
The trouble is that to make a theme non-trivial you pretty much have ramp up the rest of it. So I did. Maybe too far ... I'll make tomorrow's harder then.

Are you not at all tempted to try and code that function so you can tell us the results? ...oh go on! I am tempted myself but having to get a dictionary or anagram API sounds like too much effort

I could solve this! But I would have to get up too early to post one. So I leave it up to you guys whose habit it is to be the wiser.

Just had a call from Dwr Cymru to say the water may be off - only 4.5 hours after it went out so they are pretty quick - so I check the tap and we have pressure! Kettle filled, and ... they ring back again to say it may be off.
Think I'm getting the idea: they only ring when it's fixed to tell you it isn't there ... computers, who'd have 'em?

You are sitting on an island, right? Then how can it be that you have no access to water? It may be salt water, but you don't have to be Rambo to solve that tiny problem.

Were you in my squad about 25 years ago? I had shown them how to make a filter and boiled it for at least 20 minutes and none of them wanted to try some fresh clean water after it cooled off. Big heroes, all of them.

After it's filtered / boiled I'd probably drink it (though there are a few rivers round here that I wouldn't touch due to the lead / mercury / arsenic bleeding out of old mine workings which niether of your systems would touch - they need distillation for purification).
But ... I'd rather not fill my kettle with diluted urine in the first place!

Yep, that's the first rule. Before doing any filtering and boiling, first take a good look at the place you take the water from.
