I also find Succinct Data Structures fascinating. I own Navarro's text book, and it's one of my favorite books to take to the coffee shop and try to understand. I also have a copy …

I would like to know if the plastic used in my Moccamaster is subject to these hazards. I bought it specifically because they claim to use food-grade quality plastic that is suppos…

One other thing about Lael that I don't think the article mentioned is that on top of being an amazing ultra-endurance cyclist, she also has had to deal with lots of respiratory pr…
