Has this not been common knowledge for a long time? The argument for high load/low reps has always been that it a) saves time and b) will increase your strength (vs. muscle size) m…

Your statements about Germany are not correct: Factur-X is not common in Germany at all, the German version of this standard (albeit very closely related to Factur-X) is called Zug…

Well, as they should, because they are now by far the biggest emitter with higher CO2 emissions than the EU and US combined. Even their per capita emissions have surpassed countrie…

Didn't they promise regulators, that they wouldn't exclude other platforms from Activision games, CoD in particular? So if they now give it away to the users of their platform but …

Just reading that gives you an inkling of an idea what kind of amazing feat of engineering the LHC is. I really hope governments keep funding basic research like that because it te…

Those fines are ridiculously low considering VW had to pay 30$ billion in fines and other compensatory payments for the diesel emission standard violations (1). So anyone who think…

As one would expect from any serious composer: lots of Bach…

I wonder if the template syntax with no explicit terminator for variables and expressions is a good idea. I can see many footguns for the user and the parser…

I think, it's great and it will probably make me switch from Spotify to Apple Music. Spotify is a complete shit show if it comes to classical. The search results are mostly useless…
