If you spend the same time studying programming that you need to spend to become a good chess player then you will likely become a professional programmer which means you will make a decent living in most countries of the world. Also, you c

Football is very different because you don't have to spend as much time. Professional players train for 1-3 hours per day and that's it. The remaining time of the day they do nothing at all because there's no point to physica

Most of what you say about the highest level is true for most other pursuits. My view is that chess without memorization is not a very interesting game. What remains is just calculation which is uninteresting to 99+% of people. Since you re

Some people just want to have fun and that's what blitz is for. Why are people so preoccupied with improving when it comes to chess? If any other game is mentioned the discussion will not be so centered on improvement as it is with che

MTG is not very interesting when actually playing it. Most of the game is building your deck. Thereafter the deck mostly plays by itself.

I envy you guys. It is so easy to live under the "America is to blame for everything, even floods" mentality. Everything is so easily and readily explained.

Pro tip: Use an editor that doesn't allow you to quickly jump to the definition of a function. You will make your code more readable because you will prefer to write linear code.

Your statistic is even more misleading because in the non-graduates category you are lumping in people that couldn't make it to college even if they wanted. The relevant comparison is graduates versus people that voluntarily skipped co

Saying "you need to eat less calories than you expend in order to lose weight" is like saying "to win in chess just mate your opponent's king". It's just saying the same thing in different words. The fact of th

I don't believe such measures have a significant impact on obesity because they don't target the main causes of obesity which are the easy availability of food and the reliance on private cars for transportation. Furthermore, they

It's just different keyboard shortcuts than the other editors. That is pretty much it. You don't need to be so dramatic. Also, in the GUI version of vim you have scrollbars, toolbar, and the standard keyboard shortcuts work, too.

Russia Today as a television network is banned because you need a license to broadcast and that license can be revoked when it is found that the network broadcasts only propaganda that has nothing to do with reality. On the other hand, the

I don't want to be that guy but this sounds horrible. You shouldn't treat reading as a chore or as something you have to do in order to watch TV. I think it's better if you let them watch TV for 1-2 hours per day and that

If birds are dinosaurs, aren't some dinosaurs birds? So we can claim that birds existed 200 million years ago.

One of the basic tenets of Vim is that it is not an IDE. It is a text editor. By the way, if you need an IDE for Python then you're missing the point of Python.

You're seeing half the picture. Cancer is, in the large majority of cases, a preventable disease. It is caused mainly by environmental factors, i.e. the modern way of a sedentary obese lifestyle.

A concrete building has a lifespan of about 50 years. Even so, most people wouldn't want to live in a 30 or 40-year old building anyway.
