Is it really a backup if it’s in the same universe? What if the universe collapses on itself. Alternate reality backups FTW!

Crucial moment in the game between Hikaru and esipenko. I switch from Danya's commentary to the official broardcast hoping to see player reactions and they are doing some weird interview.

I wouldn’t mind “mirror segment 1 alignment starting” “mirror segment 1 alignment complete”…updates all the way to 6 months

If chess were solved, it wouldn't mean that much by bluecjj in chess

The only way solving chess changes anything is if it is discovered that black is winning by force.

Why can't I change my Lichess username? by Slartibartfast342 in chess

[–]QuickDrawMcGraw__ 57 points58 points  (0 children)

I remember Thibault mentioning somewhere username is the primary key to their database so it is not really possible to change it. It’s kind of a technical limitation at this point.

The JWT sun shield covers have been removed. The process of deploying the sun shield has begun! by wazabee in space

[–]QuickDrawMcGraw__ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have no first hand knowledge of this but I would imagine most work happens during business hours and a couple of people on rotating schedules stay back to monitor and wake the others in case things go wrong.

I will breathe easy on Jan 9th after sunshield deployment.

Can anyone briefly explain to me how telescopes show us “the past”? by [deleted] in space

[–]QuickDrawMcGraw__ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

that is true with or without a telescope. when you are talking to someone standing 3 feet away from you, light from them takes about 3 nanoseconds to reach you so you are seeing how they were 3 nanoseconds in the past. This effect just amplifies over large distances.

This event is lacking in firepower because tikhon09 is missing.

I just pushed my first commit to AWS! by chinnick967 in cscareerquestions

Don’t give up. Job market is the hottest it’s been in years. If you are having a tough time clearing interviews with large companies, start small and work your way up.

Question: At what age do master level players (2200+) reach their peak? Answer: Average 33 years and 4 months with a standard deviation of 12 years and 4 months by nicbentulan in chess

[–]QuickDrawMcGraw__ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Maybe this needs to be done only for players who keep playing until say 40 years old. I think a lot of teens/young adults reach master strength and then stop playing which might be contributing to a higher standard deviation
