Immutable.js Immutable data cannot be changed once created, leading to much simpler application development, no defensive copying, and enabling advanced memoization and change detection techniques with simple logic. Persistent data presents a mutative API which does not update the data in-place, but instead always yields new updated data. Immutable.js provides many Persistent Immutable data structures including: List, Stack, Map, OrderedMap, Set, OrderedSet and Record. These data structures are highly efficient on modern JavaScript VMs by using structural sharing via hash maps tries and vector tries as popularized by Clojure and Scala, minimizing the need to copy or cache data. Immutable.js also provides a lazy Seq, allowing efficient chaining of collection methods like map and filter without creating intermediate representations. Create some Seq with Range and Repeat. Want to hear more? Getting started Install immutable using npm. npm install immutable Then require it into any module. Browser Important!

The Food Labs Guide to Corned Beef and the Science of Simmering More tests, more results! Follow The Food Lab on Facebook or Twitter. [Photographs: J. Kenji Lopez-Alt] When most people cook corned beef brisket, what do they do? They just chuck it in a pot with a bunch of cabbage, potatoes, and carrots, bring it up to a boil, and let it simmer away until tender, right? I really love corned beef. There are two basic steps to corned beef: the rub, and the cooking. I've cooked 38 pounds of beef in my tiny apartment, which is driving the dog absolutely wild. The Rub First, a bit of history. The average Irishman was too poor to afford the very beef they were raising Throughout the 17th and 18th centuries, the green fields of Ireland were used to graze cattle to produce corned beef that went mainly to feeding British civilians, the British and American navies and armies (its long shelf life made it ideal for overseas journeys), and for trade with the French. To this day, very little corned beef is consumed in Ireland by the Irish. Ah! Salt Nitrates Ick, right?

Startup-Advisor Dating I get about 4 emails a week from law students and attorneys with questions about launching a law practice. It’s an awkward and humbling experience for me. I’m not a law practice management expert and several years ago I had many of these same questions. But I try to answer as many emails and calls as I can. I wish more startup veterans would do the same and provide mentorship to new entrepreneurs, such as taking a seat on a startup’s advisory board. A lot of the startups I work with placer a higher value on mentorship than investment capital, and would have no issue with a small equity grant to a good advisor. Why does it feel like most successful startup participants have their success and fall back into the shadows of the city? There are successful startup veterans in every community. I think it’s time to start a Startup-Advisor Dating service, in the spirit of Founder Dating. Maybe there’s one around that I’m missing.
