You absolutely can maintain a high TDEE with just walking alone. For example, if you walk for 8+ hours per day, as people do when thru hiking, you will struggle to maintain bodyweight. Hikers spend a lot of time thinking about the most ener

No one memorizes dictionaries for language learning. There are frequency lists of vocabulary words for languages: basically some words are used more frequently than others so memorizing the most common 1000-3000 words is enough to get very

Not defending human rights abuses or China's behavior, but the idea that America set the precedent is myopic. The US isn't even 300 years old. History is much longer, darker, and more violent. Human rights are themselves a fairly

This looks super cool! I was under the impression that burntsushi's implementation of quickcheck [0] was the most popular property-based testing library for Rust. Was I mistaken or was there a reason the authors chose another library a
