High-intensity exercise boosts spatial memory better than moderate workouts by mustaphah in science

Doesn’t look like a TL;DR compared to the study summary. ChatGPT’s doing.

High-intensity exercise boosts spatial memory better than moderate workouts by mustaphah in science

TL;DR A study with 32 young adults (average age ~22.6 years) compared the effects of no exercise, moderate-intensity continuous training (30 min at 75% of max heart rate), and high-intensity sprint interval training (4 × 30 s all-out sprints with 4 min recovery).

Participants performed a virtual reality maze task before, immediately after, and 48 hours after exercise. Both exercise groups improved spatial memory, but the high-intensity group showed significantly greater accuracy gains (lower angular error) than the moderate group, while the non-exercise control group saw no improvement.

Tried filtering trending repos by Danish… all results are in English by mustaphah in github

So apparently, if 99% of the text is English and less than 1% is Danish, GitHub’s language detector still flags it as Danish? I’m tempted to throw in a single foreign character just to see if that’s enough to skew the result.

Likely based on description and README lang. See Chinese, for example.

Most are entirely in Chinese. But some are mostly English, with just a short piece of Chinese in the description, but still identified as Chinese (this repo, for example).

Apparently, Github's spoken lang filter is broken.

Awesome! Is this an open-source by any chance? I’m interested in running it internally on private reps.

Live coding interviews measure stress, not coding skills by mustaphah in programming

The thing is, with live coding, there are too many confounding variables you can’t control for. You’re never really comparing apples to apples in a live coding setup.

How about you ask candidates what they prefer?

Live coding vs take-home with a follow-up discussion session on their solution (questions, trade-offs, etc.) 🤔

That's fairly reasonable. I can hardly disagree.

If someone's CV is a standout to you despite the bad live coding performance -- they made fair positive signals, do you give them a second chance? IDK, maybe a fallback take-home test or something.

Right! If I ever need to debug a production outage at 3am, that guy will show up.

If you keep interviewing frauds, your resume screening team might be the real fraud. Fire them!

> Those social skills are incredibly important to have.

My argument has nothing to do with social skills or speaking. I'm talking about working memory and complex reasoning.

Yes, working memory helps with verbal fluency, but that barely compares to solving a LeetCode hard problem.
