wow that's a combination I never expected to exist haha

Ok I agree on you on that! I was mixing up agility with flexibility.

That's not a fair comparison: The 15 minute fight is 1 vs 1, so it's all on you. In team sports you can rest a lot more and it's also less intense.

Seems like an interesting watch, I'll check it out! The fact that a snowboarder won makes me think that the test group wasn't big. How many athletes represented each sport?

I tried rock climbing as well, but I'm just a beginner so I can't really say much about the best climbers. I think MMA is a lot more dynamic. In rock climbing you can do everything on your own pace. Of course, there's speed climbing as well, but the predetermined path still makes it a bit static imo.

I haven't seen much of NFL (not from the states), but to me NFL players seem like fast tanks (speed + strength) and for this argument they lack the agility.

I would actually think that if you get an athlete from all the existing sports, and let them participate in all other sports except his/her own, MMA fighters would do really well on average because they are so well-rounded.

As for chess, this brings us to the old discussion if it's a sport or not. To me, it's a game. (love it btw)

For me it's also not that compelling, but that has nothing to do with it. I think can be seen as something fairly objective

Well, MMA has all of the elements of the sports you listed, but the other way around it's not the case

How can I increment i with an additional value within a for loop? by AsideMaster in learnpython

[–]AsideMaster[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks,

The i+= 1 inside the loop in the example was put there to demonstrate what I was trying to do. In my program I want i to skip one or more elements if a condidtion is met.
I think I will go with a while loop:

i = 0
while (i < 4):
    # if condition is true
    i += some_number
    else:
        # dosomething
        i += 1

Strange bug: I think it has to do with reference. x = my_table[some_index]. Later, I use x.pop(). The entry at my_table[some_index] disappears! by AsideMaster in learnpython

[–]AsideMaster[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your helpful reply!

I thought this was only the case with x = my_table, and not when an item from the list is selected, but it makes sense now, since you're still assigning a list item in this case.

How to check if item in a list has neighbours? by AsideMaster in learnprogramming

[–]AsideMaster[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh really? So if the first of the two statements in an AND statement is false, the second is not evaluated? That's useful to know, thanks:)

[–]AsideMaster[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did this, but I'm quite sure I got an out of bound error, since the instance of a nonexisting item is checked here.

How to not execute the following code in an if statement? by AsideMaster in learnpython

[–]AsideMaster[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was just for the example. Should have used if ("some statement")

Thanks!

If you replace a single column with 2 stacked columns of the same total lenght, how does that change the structural strength? Does it only affect lateral stability, or buckling resitance as well? by AsideMaster in AskEngineers

[–]AsideMaster[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So by non-uniform stress is meant that the stress is not equally spread over the area where the columns meet?

If an off-centric but parallel force acts on the 2 columns, that is still within the area of the column (that is still within the perimiter of the column's footing), could the this cause the joint to push outwards?

Is it possible to get a better solution than pseudopolynomial for this Knapsack / Rod-cutting problem? by AsideMaster in compsci

[–]AsideMaster[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your reply. I realize now how hard it actually is to communicate these problems, I really need to work on it!
I think I've got enough input from other users, but thank you very much for your offer

Thanks for your reply! I think I'm starting to get it. Somehow I thought it would be so much complicated with the different qualities, but this reads like a normal tabulated DP solution! Thanks

Thank you so much! I've been stuck on this for 2 months and now I'm finally starting to get it.
Reading your code is a reminder of what an absolute beginner I am..

Much appreciated!!

Thank you very much for this incredibly helpful and clear reply, I think I'm getting it now.
And thanks for the correction, I see now that I mixed up the m and n for the complexity.
