I keep getting weeks of wet cough with a huge amount of mucus (with no other apparent symptoms) after each instance of respiratory illness. This has been happening for over a year. Could I please get some suggestions for what this might be and maybe working around it? Currently uninsured, so seeing a specialist is out for the moment.

Do you think that this effect mostly comes from the relative increase in calorie intake to compensate for the exercise?

You have P(dad is bald | son is balding). If you can find P(bald) and P(born to a bald dad) - assuming the latter doesn’t impact the sex ratio - you could use Bayes’ Theorem instead of searching for P(son is balding | dad is bald).

Mess with some higher math. A fully solved Linear Algebra Done Right (3rd edition is preferable, the problem sets are way beefier and better organized) or a run at Project Euler could keep you entertained for a long time and maybe build motivation for something bigger.

Struck me as very childish. Stopped there.
In retrospect, Hunter X Hunter had the same issue and turned out great. Might be grounds for giving it another shot.

I’m down with Magnus being included. Anand too. OTOH, there’s a case to be made for e-sports. Flash and maybe Jaedong should be up there.

Thinking back on it, I retract my judgment from RTwP. Neverwinter and Dragon Age 1/2 were perfectly playable. The thing that turned me off was the Baldur’s Gate and Planescape: Torment engine, which had low-level casters with few spells per rest and concurrently made resting a pain in the ass. Thus casters were a liability 80%+ of the time. Never finished BG1 because of this (Torment was good enough to suck it up for the duration) and haven’t tried BG2.

Nope - what I know in the area is downstream of coursework and messing around with Project Euler.

Mind sharing some details, or mentioning when you have it on Arxiv? It’d be really cool to have something better than Miller-Rabin, followed by trial division over a pre-generated list of primes if composite.

I did not know that such browser extensions exist and will have to look into it. Similarly, no idea about the dev console, but he's on a work computer without admin privileges - any installations have to go through IT.

I think there’s a “hunted” type start in CDDA, if you’re willing to go through that learning curve.

The best old evidence we have is that she passed the bar on the second try, with the ameliorating factor of the California bar being somewhat nastier than the norm. So she’s probably at least as intelligent as Hillary, who also took two attempts (with preparation in a better law school, for whatever that is worth, and not in Cali).
How difficult is the bar, anyhow?

You know what would best contribute to the well-being of your hypothetical kids, barring some giant leap in embryo selection or tremendous wealth? Young parental age. Lower probability of various defects, and parents (and hopefully grandparents!) energetic and healthy enough to give them all the play and development they need.

The Union has gulags out of sight in Angland; one of the main characters had run such a gulag just prior to the novels, and sends people there during.
Bach - pretty much everything, but the catalog #1052 keyboard concerto stands above the rest. Glenn Gould is a wonderful choice here.
Mozart - Sonata #8, symphonies #25 and 40. Probably anything else he composed in minor key is brilliant too.
Beethoven’s violin and third piano concertos. Appassionata. Symphonies 5 and 7.
Schubert’s Death and the Maiden.
Chopin’s first piano concerto.
Grieg’s piano concerto.
Dvorak’s cello concerto.
Sibelius’s violin concerto. You want Oistrakh’s recording.
Rachmaninov’s second piano concerto.
Shostakovich’s 5th symphony.
Sviridov’s Snowstorm suite.
Topical for Greenwald and maybe his opposition!
Braces -> LISP -> lisping -> male homosexuality -> also topical for Greenwald with some stretching? So maybe brackets.
