Rote memorisation is essential. Not _all_ there is to achievement, but as you say the other parts are difficult to test. Without memorisation ("Just google", as many comments seem to suggest), you are severely limited in what you

How do the candidates know _what_ to search? That's memorisation. How do you get creativity, how are candidates better able to combine idea together? By forming each idea into a memory 'chunk' that can be handled as a single

I ride daily through my country's largest city. I'm not scared. I don't need a 'safe space' (or your desire to start a culture war, as your provocative wording imples). I don't jump red lights. I pull over if t

That's my entire point. if beginners think they need to do huge sessions, that can be intimidating for some. This research is confirming "just put _some_ effort in consistently", which is basically what you said.

That itself is a _good_ thing. The people who most need exercise are the people who don't currently exercise. If showing a small amount of regular effort is effective, compared to a single big effort, then that helps people get healthi

You can follow the link to the actual journal article to get details, and then criticise based on information. The protocol was 1 session of 5x6 reps (1d5s6r), versus 5 sessions of 1x6 (5d1s6r), with control 1d1s6r.

I don't think that example is quite so obvious. American Football is all about set plays. You line up and then charge at each other, meaning you have two lines effectively charging at each other and can focus all your effort on this on

if you type check, then it ensures that only a 'second' can be passed to the function. This requires you to either create a second, or explicitly cast to one, making it clear what unit a function requires. As per the article, if y
