So "most read" doesn't include people who actually read physical books! Just people who listen to books via audible, and people who swipe pages via kindle ( ok that still counts as reading, but real reading in my books ahem..

This is a fantastic link & I love the discretely sorted topics with ratings (could be more granular but its a start). Is there a similar link for other PLs notably more pedestrian langs like Java/Python/C ?

I'll go out on a limb & say there's different kinds of pain. If you are doing "cardio with weights" - ie. you can comfortably bench 100 lb, but you are doing 200 reps of 30 pound - that's pain A. If you can comf

Honest question - as a non-user who has dabbled in pain-dampening aids, how effective is it? In particular, there is this great scene in American Beauty ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AVpsmoAe9pM ) where Lester smokes po

Frankly, the "present state of cv" as you call it, is far far ahead of the 5% classification errors you are running into on a standardized textbook problem such as this - the Legos are all blocky discrete plastic with super-satura

You have a point. Details - I build weight nodels related to food dairies. I have a few dozen redditors ( mostly from the loseit subreddit ) who have signed up. They send me their food dairy and weight everyday via the free WeightGreat.com

It definitely works. Among the people I have looked at and modeled, supper timing is definitely correlated to weight gain. If you are interested I can link to some preliminary modeling I have done.

The article cites major caveats - 1. Cohort size of children eating after 8pm is much smaller than before - mostly because the kids are in bed by then ( they are looking at 4-10 year olds ) 2. Self reported Food Diaries are seldom accurate.

Even in commutative algebra, there is a fair amount of guesswork. If I tell you that 2+3=4 in an abelian group with {2,3,4}, then ask you what is 2+4, you will immediately guess 2+4=2. Its just what the millennials term "stupid obvious
