Sports drinks, sweat and electrolytes - part 2 | The Science of Sport
This article argues that drinking sports drinks doesn't really prevent hyponatremia.Thu Oct 11 17:24:54 2018 - permalink -

Muscle Cramps: Part I | The Science of Sport
This series of posts argues that muscle cramps are the result of fatigue, not a lack of electrolytes.Thu Oct 11 17:22:39 2018 - permalink -

Stop cherry-picking, start merging: Index – The Old New Thing
A series of articles on better merges with dedicated patch branches rather than cherry-picking from feature branches, with good graphs. I use cherry-pick often on my one-man projects and have confused myself with merge-base in the past, so this is probably a good reference for me to remember.Mon Oct 8 22:26:23 2018 - permalink --
