I'm sorry, what? You need to take _years_ to practice for algorithm interviews? You think that it's physically demanding to do BFS? Nobody will tell you what to do? What about, say, the entire interviewing ecosystem that's sp

> Nobody can do 100x as many reps as their 1 rep max, unless they've grossly underestimated their 1RM. I mean, I could certainly do 100 singles at 80% 1RM, but I get your point. Jeff's program is atrociously bad.

There's still plenty of variance in anabolic usages between competitors. There are IFBB pros taking 1/10 the dosages of others; see people like Jared Feather vs. Bostin Loyd. And general sentiments about steroid use have changed s

It's possible, and very effective if you want to save time, but it comes at a (very slight) hit to actual muscle growth, since it's likely you'll end up limited by your cardio as opposed to the muscles themselves. If your goa

> If you focus on the big three - squats, deads, and bench press - and you only do one of those per day at the gym, This describes basically no modern or historical bodybuilding programming.

> Agreed. I was honestly surprised to learn that some people were promoting rest periods as low as 30 seconds for building muscle. I'll remind everyone that Jeff Cavaliere, YouTube fitness darling beloved by people who don't li

The author has no idea what the average bodybuilder thinks. How laughable would it be if I, as a bodybuilder, grabbed a handful of comments from assorted /r/cscareerquestions threads to demonstrate what the average programmer thin

This seems like a notion lots of people have, but I'm not sure it's true. What is the evidence that online fitness is any more fraught with contradictory advice than, say, online finance, or online self-help?

Interferes with the pump & mind-muscle connection, and makes it more likely that you're limited by your cardio (or neural fatigue, or secondary muscles) as opposed to the target muscles.

I've heard of similar proposals for funding grants; have a first pass to make sure the grant proposals aren't total BS, then lottery among those that pass.

MPG is a measure of efficiency, so it makes sense that it increases. To support your argument, you would need to demonstrate a corresponding increase in vehicle miles traveled per car, so that total gallons of fuel burned (i.e. energy) is c

That's quite simply not true. If we stopped all CO2 production tomorrow, we'd by well under 1.5 degrees of warming by 2100.

I second what DC1350 said. I didn't get enough opportunities to face criticism, have my code reviewed, or to get steered in the right direction, and that led to the same exact situation where I would piss away weekdays and scramble to

I interned remotely last summer and it was a disaster. I had very little direction, couldn't stay focused on work, didn't meet anyone, and really learned very little. Not looking forward to doing it again this summer.

Huge fan of this. Gas-powered blowers are responsible for a disturbingly large portion of US air pollutants. Something like 10% of all CO, 5% of VOCs come from gas-powered lawn equipment, and they produce >30%* of the non-car pollutants.
