You don't need to. But it will allow you to press more weight with less risk of injury. It only feels unnatural because you're used to just lying flat on the bench with a relaxed back - doing that now feels "unnatural&quo

I did this recently. An upgrade to a Mac with a touchbar prompted it, but I should have done it over a decade ago.

Same. The edited version loses the author's voice - which is what good editing is not supposed to. And the aside about same-sex romance authors goes from a personal anecdote to a general statement. Personal anecdotes are more enterta

The author doesn't mention GMOs because they don't matter. The end product is the same.

Absolutely true, and I didn't think about this. In retrospect, my intro physics courses (which were 90% engineers) were in such classrooms, and could not have used a projector. But the rest of my physics classes, and all of my math cla

I think that all of my math teachers in middle and high school used projectors with transparencies. It wasn't until college that most math and physics was on black boards. The major benefit of transparencies is that the teacher was alw

I almost made the same point, but I stopped because I was hesitant to get into the cases where one can do an average-case analysis without assuming any distributions: when you're doing analysis of a particular operation being called a

To put names to what you're asking for: best-case, average-case and worst-case analysis. All are valid ways to characterize algorithms.

As I explained elsewhere, that's not a valid conclusion to draw, since the families of all of the players donated their players brain because the family suspected their player had CTE. But it's still a horrifying stat, and the con

I don't think that's accurate. Many top-level football programs lose money. See: https://www.washingtonpost.com/sf/sports/wp/2015/11/23/runni...

That study has a selection bias; the athletes' families all suspected that their player had CTE. So it's not accurate to say that 91% of college football players will get CTE. But , it's still an enormous indictment of the s

It looks stupid because you're assuming all actors have the same goal: make the company they work for the "best," however that is measured. But that's often not the goal of executives. They are often more interested in

I think you're interpreting the original question too broadly. Based on the follow-up, the question was meant to mean "what repetitive tasks do you do at work that can be automated through software ?"

One could use a tree-based set, which would only require being comparable, but that would get us back to average-case O( n log n ).

Hating the forklifts is not the point of the piece. Ignore that if it bothers you, and continue reading for an insightful take on how narrative and gameplay interact in a game you played.

I think the author of this piece clearly considers Shenmue one of "their" games. I don't think we're seeing the result of an outsider, but quite the opposite. Someone who has analyzed this game this deeply is clearly enm
