Linear algebra can be taught in many ways. The path I outlined here was inspired

Intervals are one of the best ways to reach maximum fitness. “If you want to get close to your biological potential, you have to do some higher-intensity exercise,” Joyner says. “You have to get fatigued and push yourself.” To get the most bang for the buck, he likes a workout that involves four-minute intervals, repeated four times, with a short period of recovery in between.

At this point, you are ready to familiarize yourself with a few matrix decompositions. If you think about it for a second, what type of matrices are the best from a computational perspective? Diagonal matrices! If a linear transformation has a diagonal matrix, it is trivial to compute its value on an arbitrary vector.

Instead of forcing yourself to be perfect, try to view skills as a gradient, not a box to tick. Give yourself space to practice them in a no-feedback environment. This means off social media, without showing friends and family, or putting any other kind of pressure on yourself. Don’t feel bad about keeping these skills private — they’re just for you, and nobody else.
As you might have guessed, this article will be one of many that also addresses a widely popular, new-school, and overall pretty unique programming language named Go. However, in order to be like Go — simple, different, and useful — I won’t retell what has already been written by others. I’d rather attempt to form a new vision by analyzing Golang’s design solution, the context of its appearance, its distinct features, and finally, what it can be effectively used for today.
The result is that your thoughts can feel stunted because you’re constantly cutting yourself off before you feel too much. You’re easily overwhelmed by uncontrollable waves of emotion when they do come because you’re not used to them.

“This company identifies as modest and thoughtful. This means we have to be careful not to use the logo too prominently because that would come across as bold and daring. Maybe we can even get away with not using the logo at all, but just a subtle reference instead? That would be a great manifestation of modesty, and if the reference is clever, it’s also a sign of thoughtfulness.”

Years ago, I humble-bragged on Facebook that Pizza Men love me because I’m a good tipper. This, predictably, invited an avalanche of gay jokes. But my original sentiment was the same: tipping is good karma.

One of the best ways to get more out of your workouts (in less time, to boot) is to add some intervals — bouts of intense efforts interspersed with rest periods. What counts as intense exercise? Use the talk test to gauge your effort, Gillen says. When you’re doing a high-intensity effort or interval, you shouldn’t be so out of breath that you can’t utter a word, but it should be difficult to complete a full sentence, she says.

Thoughts like these form the very foundations of a design. As the designer thinks, slowly, a structure emerges. A structure based on logic and questions asked and answered. We’re beginning to see now that graphic design isn’t artistry, let alone romantic. It’s a cold, rational process.

The best way to stop doing this is to respond to those feelings as they come. “Journals are like a checkpoint between your emotions and the world,” writes clinical psychologist Beth Jacobs, Ph.D, in her book Writing for Emotional Balance. Try using a journal to write the feelings down as they occur, and pinpoint what caused them, as well as any thoughts you may have about the feelings. It’s OK if it takes time to get used to this — this particular self-destructive habit is one many of us have spent years cultivating.

Intervals don’t have to mean sprinting, and you don’t have to do them for multiple minutes at a time to reap rewards, Gillen says. Anything you can do to get out of your comfort zone will work. A study by Gillen and her colleagues at McMaster University found that even a single minute of intense exercise can produce real benefits. The researchers assigned volunteers to one of two exercise programs on a stationary bike; a third group served as a control. One group rode for 45 minutes at a moderate intensity, three times per week. Another group warmed up for two minutes, then rode all-out for 20 seconds, spun at a slow cadence for two minutes, then repeated the 20-second hard bout again, followed by the easy two minutes of riding, and then repeated it all once more. The workout added up to a grand total of 10 minutes, and only one of those minutes (3x20 seconds) was at a difficult effort level. They completed the 10-minute workout three times per week.

To summarize, the determinant of a matrix describes how the volume of an object scales under the corresponding linear transformation. If the transformation changes orientations, the sign of the determinant is negative.

For years, I was using Doordash, and recently, found out that my tips weren’t being distributed properly. It was infuriating to the point that I stopped using them, but I wasn’t alone.

In order to fully comprehend Golang’s nature, let’s dive into the context of its creation. Since at the time Google was facing issues, which it couldn’t overcome with the existing tools, Go was born in a strong need for changes:
When times are good, the first thing I splurge on is food. I’ll never own a $70,000 car. But I’ll gladly overpay 3x for a meal, particularly if it means I don’t have to leave the house.
Most special forms aim to decompose a matrix A to a product of matrices, where preferably at least one is diagonal. Singular Value Decomposition, or SVD in short, the most famous one, states that there are special matrices U, V, and a diagonal matrix Σ such that

What I mean is that you’re scared of deep emotion. And so instead of reacting to things in a consistent way, you shove emotions down. Not just bad ones, like sadness or anxiety, but even happy ones, like joy or excitement. You use your own coping mechanisms — which can be alcohol, but also TV shows, social media, obsessions with exercise — to repress them. You feel like you don’t deserve the happy ones or like they may be taken away at any moment, and you can’t deal with the unhappy ones.

In DoorDash’s eyes, they were still giving tips to their drivers. It was just considered part of their $7 guarantee (which is also supposed to cover all gas and maintenance expenses too).

In my opinion, determinants are hands down one of the most challenging concepts to grasp in linear algebra. Depending on your learning resource, it is usually defined by either a recursive definition or a sum that iterates through all permutations. None of them are tractable without significant experience in mathematics.

holds. In other words, the linear transformation represented by A is a scaling by λ for the vector x. This concept plays an essential role in linear algebra. (And practically in every field which uses linear algebra extensively.)

Drivers were miserable about this policy and their complaints went unheard until this story broke. DoorDash maintained they were honest about their pay structure with all drivers (who they still refused to acknowledge are actual employees).

Go is different, yet clearly resembling.
Go is distinct, yet featureless.
Go is young, yet widespread already.
Go is small, yet powerful.
Go is simple, yet quite complex.
Go is running on its own, yet as a number of instances.
Go is a language, yet also an idea.
