How to Design Programs [0] is a great example of computing as another pillar of a well-rounded liberal arts education. The Preface and Epilogue explain this perspective in more detail. [0] https://htdp.org/2023-8-14/B

I'd strongly recommend the Barbell Medicine podcast for those interested in evidence-based discussion about the role of strength training and exercise in general on health, longevity, and quality of life. Just scroll through their epis

Grip strength is a proxy for whole body strength. Training grip strength for health benefits instead of engaging in strength training is like turning a dashboard green instead of fixing the underlying issues.

We do. This is a well-studied topic.

Strength training strengthens more than just muscles. Bones adapt to the increased demand on them as well. There are even cardiovascular benefits, though it doesn't replace aerobic exercise.

This would be an upper level undergraduate class, probably juniors and seniors. You would have taken courses in discrete mathematics and data structures and algorithms as prerequisites, and have familiarity with proofs and some degree of ma

Another thing to do is to binge lots of media in English at a level you can handle or slightly beyond that. It's the idea behind something known as Comprehensible Input. Combined with things like using frequency lists in Anki and worki

Diet and weight loss: Get an app like Macrofactor and a food scale for tracking food. Aim for losing 0.5-1% of your bodyweight per week. Try to eat a gram of protein per cm of height. Eat sufficient fiber from whole food sources however you

Spaced-repetition and active recall are underutilized tools that can increase your retention of material you deem worth remembering. Here's an example of how to use it to learn quantum mechanics, but you can imagine how it would transl

This might be a naive question, but rather than targeting WASM directly, why not target MLIR (used by projects like Mojo) and use LLVM to compile to WASM?

The argument for learning Rust before C++ is that the compiler will teach you the best practices you'd have to discover the hard way when programming in C++. If you have to work in C++, you can take that intuition with you. But if game

The weather.gov forecast graphs are the most useful ones I'm aware of and the ones I turn to first whenever I want to know about the weather. Example: https://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?lat=37.7771&lon=-1...

I ended up doing this accidentally. I enjoy reading on my laptop in coffee shops. I'm naturally introverted by temperament and hate bothering people. (And physically I am practically the opposite of Margot Robbie.) But you keep showing

That isn't nearly enough time to conclude that the changes are irreversible and it's frankly irresponsible to make that inferential jump.

I learned it in the 90s but it wasn't required in school after the initial learning period. I think the only time I ever had to actually use it was when the SAT and GRE required us to write some oath or something in cursive. At least

Haven't checked out MFP in a while but the perk of Macrofactor is that it calculates your TDEE for you and adjusts it as it changes so you know precisely how much to eat to maintain a given rate of weight change.

You'd be shocked at how many people start those sports obese and succeed. It just takes them longer. Yes your satiety can be fucked for a while but that doesn't mean that you can't learn to reach your goals anyways.

Macrofactor has that as well, but it also calculates your TDEE based on your weight and intake and tells you how to adjust to accomplish your goals.

Motorcycling is WAY more risky than deadlifting. Deadlifting is one of the safest forms of exercise there is. Compare injury rates of strength training to any other sport. It's empirically lower. And the ROI is huge in terms of your lo

Studies are constrained by all kinds of factors. It's more useful to look at populations that reliably manipulate their body composition as a learnable, teachable skill like athletes in weight classes and bodybuilders. The fundamentals

Building a strength training habit in particular is useful in this context (and many others) because if you do start gaining weight again, you'll end up gaining muscular tissue which is more metabolically active and beneficial in many
