Well… the weak Goldbach conjecture has been known for a couple hundred years and my understanding is it's one of those things we've suspected was true but just never found a solid way to prove that it was so.

This is a neat result, but no one's surprised, per se.
Can anyone explain why exactly a script written in one language would stall, while the same script in another wouldn't? Is there that much inherent instability in Python? Can it be assumed that the scripts in this case aren't comparable?

Isn't it interesting that this game we choose to play is so effective at modelling the world around us? I suppose you could argue that we wouldn't have put so much effort into this formulation of the game if it wasn't.

OK, I'll say it: this is not a very good program. Which is fine, because it's a sample program in a fairly silly ACSM article[1].

"The exercises selected should ... promote strength development for all major muscle groups of the body".

Then progressive resistance is required. Simply adding reps does not increase strength past initial accomodation.

"... create a balance of strength throughout the body ..."

Then drop the isometrics. Isometric exercises only produce strength increases in a limited range of motion close to the joint angle of the isometric exercise. And most of those studies were done with maximal voluntary isometric contraction -- ie pushing as hard as possible against an immobile object. Wall sits do not fit those studies.

"... adapted as necessary to increase or decrease exercise intensity"

Which can't be done with most of these exercises.

"To maximize the metabolic impact of the exercise, time should be sufficient enough to allow for the proper execution of 15 to 20 repetitions (15) of an exercise."

Which further breaks the link with strength.

" Individuals who previously believed that they did not have the time for exercise can now trade total exercise time for total exercise effort and get similar or better health and fitness benefits."

Given that the studies done on high intensity interval training were initially done with elite athletes, I'm not certain it shows that at all.

This is about as scientific as two guys spitballing over beer. It hasn't been tested as a program and the idea that you can achieve any kind of serious strength gain through high repetition circuit training is, frankly, a joke.

If you want to get stronger and improve cardiovascular condition, simple barbell exercises and running or swinging a kettlebell will do it better, for longer.

When I write programs for my trainees, I am apparently equivalently scientific. I too take the general principles I am taught and go through a process of exercise selection, exercise ordering, repetition and set layout, rest period selection and then sprinkle in modifications. I'll be right back, I have a scientific program for figure competitors I need to flog to the Wall Street Journal.

Agreed, there's no uniform "Microsoft" that controls anything. They're blameless in this.

Now, on to more interesting topics. Why should I, as a consumer, care about that? I see "Windows 8" in a commercial, it looks like there's a "Microsoft", but then I do my diligence, and I find out about weird rubbish as described in the article. It makes all the different, patchwork quilt of Microsoft's look really bad, even if "Spacer" did it. It looks to me, a consumer, as if there's a (possibly inadvertent) effort to shaft people. Maybe all those rumors about Windows slowing down when a new version is released are true. After all, a shaken tablet uses up memory, apparently without bound, which will cause problems eventually.

Why are you asking for some or all of the Microsofts to be given a break? That's really anti-free market.
Yes. I would hire you to do CSS and HTML work. Not able to because of budgeting. I like your approach to pagination.

I urge you to take a look at Python and the plethora of frameworks available for it. PHP is a templating language that got handed a bigger task to do than it was designed for.

My experience is that as soon as companies have HR, hiring is more often based on education. I would much rather hire someone with a decent portfolio.
This 7 minute routine is just a very very basic circuit training session.

It definitely doesn't make up for "a visit to the weight room" and while fairly 'effective' in its ROI, the 7 minute span definitely gives it a hard limit on its benefits (when I used to row, we'd do 15-station circuits for an hour or so).

Also, I actually wonder if a very out of shape person can even make it through a 7 minute high intensity circuit sesion.

I love how you quote the part which lists the potential benefits of this, then argue that it is nonsense because it doesn't accomplish [other benefits as listed]. The quote you quoted says nothing about "weight control."

Also since when is exercise effective for losing substantial amounts of body fat/weight? You burn very few calories when you exercise, at least very few relative to your BMR.

Even just knowing some numbers should tell you how bonkers losing weight through exercise as opposed to diet is (e.g. calories burnt per hour running, calories in a chocolate bar, calories per pound of weight, and BMR).

Plus, you're basically dumping on a scientific article with your nonsense anecdotes. Your belief is not required.

I'm fairly well informed, having read and studied the Constitution in different contexts throughout law school. The difference between you and me, I imagine, is more fundamental than who is "informed" or not:

"The Constitution itself was intended to place very strict limits on the size and scope of the Federal Government."

In fact, there was no single intention in creating the Constitution. Roughly there were two factions (though both wanted a stronger federal government than what existed at the time). The conflict between the two was largely resolved during the founding generation or very soon after--the "powerful federal government" forces' interpretation of the Constitution won, in Congress and the Supreme Court. The Civil War and the 13th, 14th, and 15th amendment cemented that interpretation at the point of a sword.

Stallman (I know, I know...) wrote that using "Intellectual Property" term is very very very wrong, specially because it makes people think some stuff is property (it is not) and also make people conflate 4 different laws (Trademark, Patents, Copyright and I forgot the other one) as it was a single thing, and results in totally messed up ideas.

Trademark is not your property, trademark is a registration of who is who, so the government can punish people that are being funny and mislead costumers.

Happily the trademark regulating bodies are still more or less sane, and for example kicked Tim Langdell in the nuts for what he did.

Patents, are not your property either, your property is whatever you built (patents were not supposed to apply to software algorithms as the original laws were written :/), if you want to keep others from doing a copy of your product, actually you can do it like Coca-Cola did: Make it hard to copy, and hide its formula/blueprint/project in a safe.

Patents is a license to manufacture (and thus presumably sell and distribute) the product exclusively for some years, in exchange for you placing into public domain the details of how to create your product, so all humanity can create that product in the future (maybe if you get hit by a bus and cannot do it anymore, or your factory get hit by a meteor, and so on...)

Copyright is as the name says, the right of making copies, it is not supposed to be your property either, copyright when created it was not in the intention of the law authors that people would sell it around like if it was merchandise, back then copyright was created muddled and mixed with the concept of moral rights (that some countries later turned into law too).

The idea of copyright, at least in theory (the real reason for creation of copyright seemly was covert censorship), is that by ensuring the author can choose who can sell copies of his work for some years, he could be safe expending some years to create such work, and then as he sells this work though others, he has money ensured to create his next work and so on.

Mind you, copyright was NOT invented to stop common people from making copies of your work, in fact when it was made, many people were absolutely fine with that, copyright was made for example to stop the asshole behavior of a friend of Baldassare Castiglione, that took his borrowed manuscript, and not only made a copy for himself, but started to make so much copies, that Baldassare when he made a trip from Italy to Spain (when he started the trip that he left the book with his friend) upon arrival he was greeted by people saying that his book was awesome... (yes, he left the book in Italy and travelled to Spain, when he arrived on Spain, people on Spain had lots of copies of his still unfinished book made by a asshole friend in Italy)

It's well known in endurance sports circles that high-intensity interval training is a great way to increase your speed over long distances as opposed to running very long distances for your training. There's some disagreement about whether or not long-distance training is actually better though because that's what runners from Kenya and Ethiopia do and it seems to be working well for them.

Isn't high intensity self-defined? Meaning someone out of shape's high intensity will be less intense than someone who is in shape?
I have solid personal experience in weight loss using regular cardio exercise.

"You burn very few calories when you exercise, at least very few relative to your BMR".

This is just BS, that you would know if you ever tried to lose weight.

I'm not dumping the scientific article at all, I'm criticising the claims the NYT makes of what it means.

The scientific text clearly states that this is a program that provides some of the benefits of a regular regime, and it's suited with people that doesn't have either time or easy access to facilities.

I have struggled with fitness my whole life, and I have realized that not everyone is genetically disposed to the same effects of specific exercises. However, I believe that most people can get in shape, it's just a function of resistance.

Diet and fitness is one of those things in life where you should just overkill the plan. Keep your diet stricter than you have to, lift more weights than you have to, do more cardio than you have to.

When you overkill the situation, you will get in and stay in excellent shape, trying to walk the line of "just enough" gets your burned and loses precious time towards proper progress.

I gave up on it quite a while ago but I could revisit it some time and try out some of your ideas.

The main issue was that some browsers render the frames so slowly it was almost impossible. Also, while making it slightly harder to crack with a bot it can be done by merging the frames together and tracking the lightest parts to find the letters which can then be put through OCR.

Also, while making it harder for bots to crack it also makes it significantly harder for people to read, especially people without 20/20 vision which is a major problem.
I read the whole post waiting to see what they ended up using as we are having similar issues, only to find that it's another post I have to wait for..
An alternative hypothesis is that the calories burned during exercise are not the main driver of weight loss/maintenance. But exercise does promote muscle mass gain/maintenance. This increased lean muscle mass will then increase your daily calorie consumption simply by existing, thus helping weight control.

This reminds me a lot of the 5BX (5 Basic Exercises) plan.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/5BX

That has 5 exercises which you should be able to do in 5 minutes. It has a complete scheme of exercises building up in intensity as you get better at them.
I believe there is some disagreement among elite endurance sport athletes about whether interval training is actually better for performance over the long term when compared to long distance training. High intensity interval training did become very popular in the 80s/90s because one could seemingly get very quick results from relatively few hours spent training. However, Americans were always outperformed by African runners.

That is until recently since a new trend of running very long distances at a low intensity for training became popular, just as runners from Kenya and Ethiopia do. Now Americans who employ the latter tactic are starting to fair better on the international scene, even reaching the podium for some long distance events. More American collegiate athletes who are employing the low-intensity, long distance training strategy are clocking sub-4 minute miles as well which is a hallmark of elite running status.

It seems counter-intuitive that low intensity running over long distances should improve high intensity short-distance times, but the proof is in the pudding.

Interval training can increase your lactate threshold, or your body's ability to remove lactic acid from your muscles while you are engaging in high intensity activities (the same acid that causes that burning sensation we all love to hate), but it doesn't do that much for your VO2max which determines how effectively your body uses oxygen.

Most pro endurance athletes mix interval training with long distance training to get the benefit of both strategies. As with anything in physical activity, there is no silver bullet.
I can attest to this. Very few meetings started on time.
IIRC, Go tries to allocate a contiguous portion of virtual memory. This isn't a problem in 64-bit, because the addressable space is so big, but a 32-bit system that has been running for a while may have enough memory fragmentation that you can't allocate a large enough block.

I have to agree about libraries. You don't realize how great it is to have finely-tuned JDBC drivers for every database on Earth until you can't use them.
I referred to the fact that Prof. Hardy specifically mentioned relativity in the quote.
I've heard conflicting things here. I was under the impression that Go was not memory safe while mutating maps without synchronization.

For example, these articles allude to possible memory corruption:

http://talks.golang.org/2012/splash.article "Go is not purely memory safe in the presence of concurrency."
Being able to prove can also bring new pieces of mathematics.

A lot of the get fit in 60-90 days fitness programs that sell on TV are based on these types of workouts. I was a fatass my whole life until 1.5 years ago I decided to lose weight and get in shape. I followed the slow carb diet and now try to recommend it every time I get the chance. I exercise daily, but without the diet aspect I dont think my body would have changed at all.

The supplement and weight loss industry has made in very difficult for people to achieve results. I lost 50 pounds fat and put on 20 pounds of muscle with zero supplements, not even a protein shake, just lots of good nutrition, patience, and little understanding that my body might change.

Yeah but if my .widget-title rule refers to the title inside the widget .widget-sidebar seems like it should also be inside the widget, not a widget inside a sidebar. I appreciate the idea of predictable results but I find placing a widget in the sidebar styling it differently based on decendant selectors far more predictable than somehow guessing that I have to add another class to it. I'm less likely to research a site for a class I'm unaware of as an unknown unknown.That could be a deep rabbit hole. I see decendant selectors as the best practice here. If the problem is with sidebars being everywhere, make your selectors more specific for them. I found most of this article promoting magic markup. There's a logical conclusion to that approach which is creating a sass-like system to write embedded and inline styles. It would surely reduce http requests and remove cross site CSS bugs. ;)
I believe it also applies for anyone grandfathered into the free Google Apps standard. I'd like to know the limits on free accounts if that is not true.
We know that there are an infinite number of primes (Euclid's theorem). We don't yet know whether or not every possible sequence of data occurs in the digits of pi, but it's highly suspected (this would make pi a "normal number" if true).
Should everyone go to college?
Factorisation is unique, the addition of 3 primes is not.

e.g. 29 can be written 5 + 11 + 13 or 3 + 3 + 23

So even if it were a difficult operation to reverse addition of 3 numbers, it would be made easier by collisions.
