I'm not the original commenter but there could be a big huge case in research. Lots of researchers work on UIs for search, interactive search systems, and query refinement algorithms that are really just abstract layers over an existin

Not to take from your point but something can be both broscience and true at the same time. It just means it hasn't been formally studied within controlled experiments, which is unfortunately quite common in the S&C world where the

First, I have to admire the audacity of you using a lifelong academic, who is an employee of the Ministry of Education, to further a point about entrepreneurship. Second, show me a proof that there is a societal benefit of having a majority

You make it sound like having different life objectives than you is a shameful thing. What is wrong with some people preferring to invest in time rather than this (very personal) notion of professional success because it makes them happier?

What you are doing is just moving the goalpost a bit further. Once the computers can learn the rules by themselves, someone will come up and write that it's not true intelligence because of xxx reason. How do you know your own intellig

It depends a lot on where you put the limit between neats and scruffies. I personally would have put him straight in the center, as more of a pragmatist. One of the big criticisms he had (from my memory of the Society of Mind lectures) is t

That's one of the things these articles don't really take into account: games, much like movies, tv shows, music, etc. evolve and crossbreed. Some good games could become virtually unplayed because they were so great that the foll

Training age usually refers to numbers of years of serious training. However age of user would matter as well.

If you could add the training age as well as some additional information (height, approximate bf%, outside stress level, recovery factors, training time) as potential details you could have a serious case for recommending training programs

Lifting is actually pretty safe, provided you do it intelligently. But even if you do it recklessly, your body is more resilient that you give it credit for (depending on your age). The key to strength is longevity. The guy who adds 2.5kg o

Depending on your time commitment, look up Starting Strength and StrongLifts (45min-1h30 3 times a week, strength oriented), Jason Blaha's ICF 5x5 (1h30-2h00 3 times a week, strength/bodybuilding oriented), Dan John's Easy S

While I share the original comment's enthusiasm, I have to agree with your skepticism regarding the timescale. Not only does it not guarantee that level of strength in a year, but it should not even be the goal. The goal of strength tr

That's exactly the case yes, if only to test the application for a bit. Then once I establish that it's something which fits in my workflow and that I would benefit from creating an account (for all the sync goodness), create an a

Very nice, but I would appreciate the option of not creating an account and keeping everything local. I have far too many accounts on far too many services already.

I'd like to add Babun [1] as an alternative to Cmder. Not that I don't like Cmder, but Babun comes with a preconfigured Cygwin and a lot more tools out of the box. [1] http://babun.github.io/

It's probably mainly a matter of personal opinion, but while I agree we should find a way to encourage better and more professional modding, I think that this particular implementation would create a technical/legal/ethical m

As a (lazy) research student who is always playing with data I really like the idea of being able to run a few queries in a graphical interface without the hassle of setting up a proper database, and the interface looks perfect for that. I

I wanted to link the picture of my Google profile but the permissions you ask are a bit too... permissive. It says it's for retrieving my picture, but it is asking for things like managing my contacts.

"Seems like the benefits could go beyond aesthetics." They do. Volume, usually defined using tonnage (weight x reps x sets) at a certain intensity (% of your maximal strength) is the main predictor not only of hypertrophy but also

While I agree with your point (start low, build up slowly) I wish you hadn't used Crossfit as a textbook example of weight training. Weight training has one of the lowest injury rates in sports. Reference: http://www.exrx.ne

As long as the recovery aspect is on point and if you are not too time-limited, there really is no reason not to have as much volume as possible.

It's one of those things where the "highly risky" is more or less true, but mainly because it is illegal, and not the opposite. Make any medication illegal long enough and people will do stupid shit with it because they can&#

Are you planning to open source the code at any point? As someone versed in text mining and currently trying to learn how to build similar projects, I would have loved to see how it is built.

It looks nice, but I am not sure as to what new things it brings over, for example, eatthismuch.com (who generates menus from an already populated food database).

I feel like the page should include some mention of the prerequisites of the course. Should I already be familiar with Javascript, or can I start as a non-Web developer?
