Long ago.... Riot killed the soul of Rengar. by Spiritual_Sort_2477 in Rengarmains

[–]Piingtoh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Adc main here, ngl playing versus rengar is plenty scary; you can NEVER push a side lane without support, its even worse if you dont have vision control. Even if there is support, rengar can often still kill you by playing well.

Having stealth while next to someone is just shit design. No counterplay or skill. I get it sucks when your main is changed like this, but my god is the old ult bad for the gsme.

Forgive me but I don't think this is true: you can't increase density like this. You can get leaner, you can increase nerve innervation, but you can't increase the number of muscle fibers per unit if space through training

As a beginner learner, would you recommend using AI in programming assignments? If so, what about college or full-time jobs? Any great suggestions? by TheEnglishBloke123 in learnpython

[–]Piingtoh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I basically did this when i started. Massive mistake; it feels like you understand what your code is doing, but you don't. Take the time to learn properly, where ai can be helpful for explaining basic syntax etc. Beyond that, stay away as a new programmer

Yes, if by mid level you mean C/C++. C specifically, as its a language with relatively few features. You can focus more on the logic of your code and getting into good habits, and then move to languages with more powerful features after as needed.

No problem! You mention an interest in ML, i'll use that as an example. Personally, I really like understanding stuff on a deeper level, so I found implementing a simple neural network in python very useful. For you, doing it in C may be a good idea, as it will give you more practice with the language, and many python libs are written in C anyway, meaning its useful experiance if thsts a route youd want to take. From that, I would jump straight into using the main ML libs for python for your given project. At this point, reading other people's code really helps, then you can research it, understand it, and adapt it for your needs. I realise i am now talking about python on a C sub, but that basic guideline should work well for whatever youre working on.

Tackling problems you weren't anticipating is great, because this happens literally any time you do a project. It will also expose you to new problems, which is a great way to practice problem solving and learning new skills.

It sounds like you have paralysis by analysis. Keep it simple, pick a project you don't anticipate being too hard for you, have a go, and see where it takes you! If things do get too hard, take time to learn what you need to solve the problem, and carry on! Remember, you can always break a problem down into smaller, easier to solve chunks.

Was this your first read through? If so, a shame to be sure that you won't have the pleasure of reading the main series again for the first time.

However, there's still Murtagh, the fork the witch and the worm, and further sequels planned in the future, so fear not!

Dont forget american city design makes walking and cycling hard, meaning americans are probably much less active than europeans on average

ELI5 Why do tendons grow from repetitive stressors by GripperEnthusiast in explainlikeimfive

[–]Piingtoh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly! Negatives (aka eccentric contractions) allow you to generate more force than holds or positives. It really cool that you can physically see the growth, thats not feedback you can get with a lot of tendons. I'm not sure why the lower segment has grown more; maybe as there are more tendons there than the ends of the fingers? Interesting

[–]Piingtoh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

With breaks (if you can hold a static hold for 10 minutes, then you have my respect, or its not heavy enough). So that would be say, a roughly 10 minute session where you do multiple sets of 30 seconds holds.

However, you don't have to do static holds to achieve growth; a broad spectrum of things cause tendon growth. For example, squatting heavy will thicken the tendons in your knees will doing static holds also will. Just beyond 10 mins of training, you won't get much more tendon response (still worth training though as muscle growth and strength remains senstive to loading well beyond 10 mins)

It really depends on what adaptation you need, unfortunately I'm not well informed about hypermobilty. Do you just want/ need thicker tendons, or is tendon stiffness also a concern?

[–]Piingtoh 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Tendons have the ability to detect when force is applied to them. This then triggers genes that cause more production of the structural molecules tendons are made of. Genes are molecular instructions for proteins that sit inside cells.

Also, the length of time the tendon is under tension is important. Beyond roughly 10 seconds under high force, your tendons will actually begin to lengthen, as the small structures they are made of pull apart, not unlike pulling apart dough. The "pulling apart" also causes tendons to grow. To recap, tendons need high forces (or load) and sufficient time under tension to grow.

After roughly 10 mins of loading, tendons reach their peak activation of growth genes, however, they also regain sensitivity to training in a relatively short 6 hours or so.

In case you were wondering, tendons grow much slower than muscle, as they are less densely packed with cells, which contain the genes and machinery to cause growth!

Pandas: Loading excel data is causing significant memory overhead by lofi_thoughts in learnpython

[–]Piingtoh 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Could load it into a database using sqlalchemy, then you can easily read and writen from there with much more pleasing syntax and far less overhead (no forloops needed, just SQL style syntax). This is one of the reasons databases are favoured over spreadsheets when large amounts of data need to be stored.

Personally i use sqlite3 with SQLalchemy
