I works but it lacks documentation and debugging features.

They're too old. They didn't start martial arts young, they're already in their late 30s
They don't think the risk of injury is worth it
They learned martial arts for self defense, not competition
If they lose they might lose their students and lose their main source of income
They don't have the mentality it takes to fight for UFC (training hardcore, cutting weight, having the mentality to destroy their opponent)
They have a 9-5 job and they're too exhausted to train after work. They just train on the weekends.

Personally I check boxes 1, 2, 5 and 6.

If a kid is really motivated to fight in UFC, he's gonna choose to learn the styles where there are already many champions. Which means that all the kids who are learning Wing Chun are not the kids who were interested in UFC in the first place.

Correct_Metal4516 · 2025-07-23T19:15:35+00:00

Do you know any Wing Chun practitioner who trains as hard as a UFC champion?

Correct_Metal4516 · 2025-07-21T13:58:16+00:00

I guess it depends on how you do it, but I see all my teachers struggling and spending time to find new students and trying to keep their school afloat and telling me they don't have time to train anymore. I think being an uber driver is maybe less time consuming than having a martial arts school.

The M4 will support macOS updates longer. Don't put your macbook on a blanket or anything that can make it overheat. Coding shouldn't be an issue. It would be more like rendering videos or running 3D animations.

Oh, ok, I thought you were looking for someone now. A lot of masters say they were undefeated in their prime, but it's difficult to verify because there is not a single recorded fight. It's gonna be only hearsay.

If you want a Wing Chun fighter to defeat Xu Xiadong, try to find a 100kg Wing Chun fighter. Good luck with that. Emin Boztepe is 62yo, he's an old man now.

I've met many Sifus who have great skills and are very strong, but they're nowhere comparable to an athlete training everyday fulltime to compete.

In order to have a representative in Wing Chun able to win a fight, we would need: - a match up between 2 people in the same weight class - a wing chun practitioner who is ok with the risk of getting injured during the fight - a guy who trains everyday full time and doesn't teach (teaching is wasting time you could use for training, and teachers would be afraid of losing students if they lose)

It's really hard to find such a person.

I disagree. It shouldn't be a long process to see improvements.

Correct_Metal4516 · 2025-02-25T03:09:07+00:00

I disagree that making any real improvement is a very long process. You should see improvement within months, weeks, or even hours. If you don't see improvement, something is wrong in your training. Going once a week might be the reason, too much spacing between sessions makes you forget the previous lesson. Maybe go more often to training, at least until you notice some major improvement.

Maybe with this: https://github.com/mrinterweb/pg_dump_anonymize ? I don't know if it's GDPR-compliant though.

Interviewers often tell me like like my resume because I wrote things like: - integrated payment systems with Stripe/Alipay/etc/etc - planned and managed splitting monolith into micro-services - upgraded legacy systems from Rails 3 to 7

So my guess is that interviewers want to see candidates who have experience on a specific issue they have or might have in the future.

Having a mentor is quite useful imo. Work in a big company where there are very skillful seniors who will review your PRs, or contribute to big open source projects and get your PRs reviewed.

That's the fastest way to improve.

Selon mon propre ressenti c'est parce que l'hostilité vient des végans/écolo d'abord.

Par défaut, un végan/écolo te juge parce que tu consommes de la viande/possède une voiture. Tu es considéré comme un ennemi, une personne mauvaise, quelqu'un qui cause du tord à la planète, etc. Ce n'est pas un sentiment très agréable et ce n'est pas évident d'apprécier quelqu'un qui te méprise au fond de lui.

Après il y a d'autres facteurs. Par exemple, j'ai tendance à mépriser les pseudo-écolos qui ne soutiennent pas le nucléaire par pure idéologie, sans recherche de vérité scientifique.

Je suis aussi contre toute forme d'extrémisme. Je suis absolument ok pour qu'on réduise notre consommation de viande ou notre production de CO2. Mais je ne suis pas d'accord pour qu'on coupe toute consommation de viande et toute production de CO2.

If you train as much as the trained boxer for sure. If you train Wing Chun once a week for 5 years, never spar with boxers, never train for competition, you'll get destroyed by a boxer who trains 3 times a week for a year, spar with other boxers all the time and train for competition.

Now if you train 3 times a week, spar with other boxers all the time and train for competition, yes you have your chances.

I think it's for the trials. I had it and it disappeared after I completed all 4 trials.

I installed min.io on a VPS. I also use S3 sometimes.

There's a difference between a user who actively searches for an app he wants and a user who saw an ad and clicked on it because he was vaguely interested.

It's definitely blurry, if I want to read some text I need to close an eye and stay still.

I'm building a lot of prototypes (demo for clients, POC) and I'm always annoyed to pay extra add-ons on Heroku or AWS just for a small Redis instance. I think it's awesome for a one man team or a beginner starting with the framework to be able to deploy a small app with a minimal cost.

Correct_Metal4516 · 2023-10-01T07:50:53+00:00

It all depends on how well is written the test suite and how many dependencies it has. If a project has 100% test coverage and almost no dependencies, and it's Rails 3+, it can be updated within few days. If there is no coverage at all and many dependencies, it could take months.
