I see. Also I have to admit the OP filled my other checkbox which is low-effort content intended to be amusing. Which I expect to read in Reddit but not here. And I do like to take confrontational stance in effort to make the other party to

If somebody is being unreasonably ambiguous about an issue I feel personally strong about I feel it's my responsibility to notify the author that you shouldn't teeter between comedy and seriousness. Maybe I would say it in milder

I agree, should you always test the reducing function separately outside the reduce? And if so, what's the real benefit of not mutating accumulator? Seems silly to just copy a transient value which is immediately discarded and then do

Right. Well, I stand by my opinion. I do think US is bad, and what's happening there is nothing short of a circus. But there is still a giant difference. Cultural, perhaps. I think you cant't wipe out two thousand years of dynasti

Can't argue with that, but I felt the original author I replied to took it way too personally. US politics is a joke of a democracy and more so now that they have elected a true buffoon as their president. I would argue as a nation, Tr

Perhaps so, and as my emotional input I'd still rather have a bad-democracy ruling over the world as supposed to a totalitarian state. Actually I even prefer China losing influence on global scale, what do you have to say about that? Y

Colonialism? Western exploitation? Really? I do not think that this was necessarily a smart or moral choice by the US's part, but I guess they know more about the issue than I do, based on which this action was made. But I am curious h

Hmm not really, no. I might do legs too or other back muscles but you can't really train deadlift by doing other than deadlift. You should rather focus on doing a very good warm-up to enable easier contraction of those muscles and then

Well my guess is that probably your back/hip muscles are weak and not used to working together. You really shouldnt be putting a lot of weight when you start learning a tough movement like deadlift, squat. In deadlift concentrate contr

While the evidence in this case seems to be against this statement (Amazon indeed offered worse service than competitors) I think it is otherwise valid. Chinese are really driven to become the world's superpower number 1 and give no qu

Yes, exactly this. If you never really think about your coding seriously, and ponder where you should get better at and then do it - you'll never improve! Simply by acknowledging your own mistakes and how you could fix them in the futu

I have a theory that by oversleeping too much your body goes into sort of hibernation mode and wants to preserve energy to the end of the world. On the other by sleeping little and having strict schedule you enter a type of primal survival
