An interesting point to note is that one of the world's strongest climbers, who recently put up the hardest problem in Fontainebleau, is Charles Albert, who spends most of his time climbing barefoot: https://www.planetmounta

Author here. I often find when working on rich editors that I want to see a graphical representation of the editor dom with the current selection and any hidden or hard-to-see characters. That's what ViewDom does. Unfortunately it s

Author here. I started this when the original comic was released in 2012 but it fell by the wayside. Recently I decided to pick up where I left off. It was interesting to take my own legacy coffeescript code from a time in which I didn&#

sorry about that, I disabled it since I was accidentally hitting it on my phone but I agree it is annoying.

I often tell people that I love my dog more than any human has ever loved a child, but I don't love this study. The result is fairly obvious to any dog owner, but the study is representative of the type of "pop" science that

As an American living in Europe I would call pastries for breakfast a western breakfast. The idea that the US eats nothing but sugar for breakfast and this is unique in the world is way off base. Among my friends and colleagues, mostly Eu

What caught my eye was the oscillation in the abundancy graph, there is a tendency for even atomic number elements to be more abundant than odd atomic number elements. Looking at the original Wikipedia article leads to the Oddo-Harkins rul

Hi, author here, my statistics abilities are far from perfect so I'd welcome any feedback. I have a feeling there is a much easier way to get to the full answer than the statistical hoops I jumped through.

I think the Drake equation is worth mentioning here. It estimates the number of civilizations in the Milky Way Galaxy whose electromagnetic emissions are detectable ( https://www.authorea.com/11048 ). Knowing some of the nu

Hey, thanks for providing a boxer's perspective. While you're here, I have a couple random questions: Do you always spar with headgear, mostly with headgear, or never with headgear? Can a boxer make a living as a sparring partn

I've boxed exactly twice in my life. Neither time was against a trained boxer, it just so happened that someone had a few pairs of boxing gloves lying around. My main take away was that getting punched in the face sucks way more than

I wish 1 pound of beef was only 213 calories. I think you took Google's first result ( https://www.google.com/search?q=1+lb+beef+calories ) which is actually for 3 ounces (85 grams). You need to multiply that by 16&#x2

This is a weird article. What is referred to as the bridge is the pre-chorus, a common element in pop music. Bridges are also common, but generally only happen once in a song (I can't think of any exceptions) and are typically a &#x2

It might not sound like a lot but you need to put it in the scale of the atoms. That is about a 1% change in atomic spacing, which means a 1% strain applied to the sample, which is pretty big (think about how much weight you'd need to

"learning a language is hard" I don't agree here. First off, your two years of high school German, like my two years of high school Spanish, were likely a waste of time. I had the highest grade in class and couldn't sp

When I pass a crossfit gym I think, "Hey, that looks like fun." I've never thought that about any standard gym. Olympic lifts are interesting and technical, but I wouldn't call them fun.

I'm guessing you are coming from a classical music background where if you can read the music you can pretty much play the tune. I tried applying this method to jazz and it was a complete disaster. I could happily play transcriptions

I've been learning guitar for about 5 years now and would consider myself a serious guitar learner (i.e. I could happily play all day given the time). As a reformed sheet music reader during my saxophone playing youth, I would disagree
