Thank you for sharing. My first undergrad studies were a double major in Science (Chemistry/Biology) 12 years ago and yet I had zero clue that we were at the stage currently to do what you described. To hear what you've just descr

I had a post viral illness this year after glandular fever. The post viral illness is related to chronic fatigue and if it hadn't resolved I would have been diagnosed with chronic fatigue. I had every test the doctors could think of an

In a similar vein we have a lot of bakeries here run by a local Vietnamese population. They do these amazing pork rolls for $5, which is very cheap for food in Australia (A big Mac meal is around $12 for perspective). They are popular becau

Easy answer (even if the sides aren't orthogonal): Step 1 - Find all pairs of line segments where there is overlap on the x and y planes. This step is O(n^2) but since we're dealing with rectangles it's only 16 checks. Step 2

If I was an interviewer I wouldn't like this response for most jobs, although it would be fine for a small subset of jobs. The overlap of two rectangles is an easy question with an easy answer and a long, more complicated answer would

It's pretty random, I've been in the Army now for 9.5 years. Compared to my peers I'm more likely to go running than lift weights though. I have really good cardio for my size (6'1", 230lb currently). When I do exer

I've been using mine like this for years, I actually thought it was common knowledge that monitoring your heart rate informs you about things like this. Why else would you wear one? My resting heart rate is around 42 BPM and I know som

I really struggle with the concept that some programmers cannot write FizzBuzz. I'd expect it from someone who has finished their first programming unit.

I'm doing a CS degree currently and I'm somewhat amazed at how easy it is but also at how much the other students struggle. I do a bunch of extracurricular activities such as mathematics problem-solving seminars with two professor

I don't know if there is a known trick. I simply waited it out and I slowly got better. There is a specific EBV test that tests for recent infection, as opposed to the other test that tests for any infection ever.

Anecdotally I used to think that sufferers of Chronic Fatigue were suffering from psychological issues. Earlier this year I was diagnosed with EBV that led to a post viral illness (the first step in EBV becoming Chronic Fatigue). I saw a nu

I had 8 or so months of post viral illness/chronic Fatigue, although I seem to be nearly better. Your post struck me with a few points. * I was a very active individual to the point that people would wonder where I found my energy. You

Sure. I'm in the military and get 5 hours of unit PT per week. I work out for an hour each lunch for 5 more hours. I'm lucky in that we have gyms at work. For the last 4-7 hours I train an hour a day, when possible, in Brazillian

Earlier this year I was diagnosed with Epstein Barr Virus which then became Post Viral Fatigue (PVT). PVT is basically Chronic Fatigue Syndrome except the symptoms are new and as a result of a viral infection. If you're still suffering
