Doesn't high intensity exercise have a greater risk of injury ? For instance, they did sprint intervals here, I think that I might need a 15 minute run just to warm up my knees enough to do the sprints (getting older sucks).

I think that you're missing his point which is that when you are unhappy, it is not always easy to pinpoint the cause of that unhappiness and it is very easy to start casting around for an explanation and end up blaming the wrong part

Nice plots, they seem to be svg and link directly to the appropriate github commits if to click on a particular point. I wonder if they were coded by hand or if a plotting library was involved.

I made a nomogram of the electromagnetic spectrum many years ago using pynomo while I was still a researcher, that really helped with all of the different units. ps. time flies [1] http://thefreakazoid.blogspot.com/2010/

So it's lies, damned lies and statistics again. When I was young I believed that rational debate could actually solve issues; now it feels like a sufficiently clever actor can basically argue for any point of view with solid 'look

The tsunami killed 15,899 people with 6,157 injured and 2,529 people missing and in 2015, 228,863 were still living away from their homes [1]. But that story was completely overshadowed by the Fukishima melt down that killed 1 person becaus

I've read a few more articles on the subject now. One side or the other is lying through their teeth but I've no idea which side. It's depressing how possible it is for someone to argue almost any point of view especially if

Think about it from the lawyer's point of view. If the story is article is accurate then someone has a vendetta against him. Someone has already spent a lot of money on an Ecuadorian judge to fabricate evidence against him. Now they wa

I love reading about high energy physics and this isn't the first account from a high energy theorist which excludes weariness at the lack of progress over the last decades. We can hope that someone has a breakthrough that unlocks a ne

It seems like this would be the easiest approach but the second part of the article talks about the importance of syncing body clocks with daylight hours. If that argument has merit then we shouldn't be skipping breakfast but missing d

make.py looks great. I also wrote a make replacement in python (2.7) [1]. I'm proud of it but it doesn't do parallel builds and there are so many other build tools that are better tested. But I'll put it here in case it gives

There are build systems that use strace to find dependencies. For instance tup [1][2] and Fabricate [3]. Also see this post by Waf which discusses some issues with this approach [4] [1] http://gittup.org/tup/ [2] http

This looks interesting and useful. It might be a feature that wouldn't get used a lot but I've always felt that it would be great to have a 'unit' field to specify the physical units of the values. Have you ever discusse

This looks very cool. There's no overview of how it actually works. It seems to launch a goroutine for each Jupyter code cell but any variables defined are also available for use in later cells so I'm not sure how that works. Just

Maybe the OP was referring to the rebate that the UK had negotiated under Thatcher. This is a special reduction in its contributions to the EU (it was a £4.9 billion reduction in 2015). It was a sweet deal argued principally with regard to

How can he integrate the probability expression rather than do a summation? Surely there are many real values of x and y that lead to perfect powers? Yet the probability tends rapidly to zero.

Are multiple rotor blades more or less efficient than a single large rotor? Also, could a normal helicopter be adapted to use these control systems to make them easier to fly?

I think that this has been largely caused by the media. Every time that a child was attacked or taken in the UK during my childhood, the press would go crazy for weeks. 'Stranger Danger' was a phrase that often came up. The result

Just because the Itanium was a failure doesn't change the fact that Intel have tried several times to get away from x86. So it's unfair to claim that Intel have relied purely on x86 in order to shut out competition. Of course, the

From what I've read, it seems that the Itanium was Intel's attempt to get away from x86 but it didn't work out as they had hoped. It seems to me that it is market-forces that have kept x86 as the incumbent instruction set.

It's hard to remember now but the problem wasn't so much any changes to the language. It was that the C-api changed. Since most of the important libraries have C-components, this meant that it took a long time for the libraries to
