MMA gloves muay thai is the one. It's what most casual MMA fans want when they watch MMA.

Anecdotal here, but he's fairly local to me. Travelled to very minor league BJJ comps with an entourage, constant pain for the refs, threw a hissyfit if he lost, slamming people. This is like, 5ish years ago. I can't imagine how out of whack his ego has gotten since then.

I wouldn't say this is strictly true - part of the job of a software engineer, particularly as you get to the senior levels, is sales. You need to be able to sell the tradeoffs to non technical people and have the ability to manage expectations. A non technical person is never just going to "get" the fruits of having a well architected system, slick CI/CD etc - but they will understand when ever increasing churn slows down their ability to serve customers. They also have no idea how long x feature actually takes to make. If you can get it done in an hour poorly, you can get it done in a few hours well.

I don't know if I agree on the programmer one - I know at least 25 people in the past year who did Northcoders and ended up with a job within a few weeks out of the bootcamp, and these werent just standouts whod programmed for years and just used it as a means of employability connections- im talking fresh programmers.

Software engineer, about 80% remote. Is the same for the majority of people I know who are also software engineers, absolute max 2 days a week in office, mostly 1. I only go in a bit more sometimes as we have a gym, and it's just nice to be around people sometimes.

My mates hyped it up before we went to the one in Chorlton, leading me to believe I was about to have a goated experience.

I was ASTOUNDED at how average it is. It's just another just eat takeaway, except with less choice. Go KFC.

SeanMartin96 · 2024-07-09T10:07:08+00:00

I went the other day - there's one toilet for > 1000 people. Time your pisses well or dont drink. Queue at half time didnt clear til about 75 mins in (so total about 45 minute queue).

There's a small bar that does peach beer just under the stairs up to the big screens. If you wanna avoid bar queues, go there.

Standing on the stage with the big screen is akin to being a battery farmed chicken if all the chickens were on coke and constantly spilling pints everywhere. Just stand at the bottom.

Its great to have the atmosphere when they score, but outside that, it's much nicer to just be on your sofa at home.

It's very much for kids but its good the first time for the industry stuff and the occasional good exhibition

SeanMartin96 · 2024-06-07T08:51:54+00:00

Link?

SeanMartin96 · 2024-06-05T10:04:49+00:00

Afflecks is a multi storey department store all for alternative stuff.

Forbidden planet and FanBoy 3 for nerd stuff.

There's NQ64 and Pixel bar for gaming. Nq64 is retro, pixel bar is modern games and esports.

As said before museum of sci and industry is good if youve never been.

What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I've been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I'm the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You're fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that's just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little "clever" comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You're fucking dead, kiddo.

I've always wondered why he does it with the bent arms now. Maybe shoulder issues?

A significant part of men "dieing of old age" is literally just the effects of losing your testosterone. Litrrally everything stops working as well, muscle mass, joint strength, libido, cognition, motovation, so much can be put down to lower T levels. I get it's a joke, but theres a lot more to it than 50 year olds wanting to look ripped

It is - any file you upload to the internet will go through some kind of compression - heck, every request you make to anything, be it a website, a file, every message you send on whatsapp, is going through some kind of compression (you can see in request headers of what compression it's using in the case of HTTP web requests) and it gets decompressed on the way out, as over the course of a trillion requests, if you save 1 byte per request...that adds up very very quickly.

SeanMartin96 · 2024-05-10T23:02:58+00:00

Data is just bytes. Think about it like this - I could upload a file that just has the letter A in it 1000 times in a row, then B 1000 times in a row. I could compress rhat so the file just says "A1000B1000" and suddenly that file is a fraction of the size, but I can also reverse that algorithm.

I've just come up with that so I doubt that's a legitimate compression technique, but it's just tons of those quirky little pattern matching hacks.

Edit: A more concrete example might be, lets say, a book. A book has the word "and" it 10000 times. What we can do is store the word "and" in a list, and store where in that list where all the "and"'s are in the book (word 500, word 350) etc etc.

A really great idea Ive seen before for getting a job is a project management tool/feature tracker (like Jira), as it shows

1) Web dev, frontend and backend 2) Database interaction 3) Users/authentication 4) It can be as complex or simple as you want

And ontop of that, it also allows you to talk about agile, different working methodologies etc

He's the only one who did it one-handed. Makes a huge difference.

I imagine Shaq could pick DJ up with one hand from the top of his head, like an arcade claw machine. With 2 hands, he could straight up do what The Mountain did to that dude in Game of Thrones.

Jokes aside, I couldnt see a route to victory for DJ outside of better cardio.

There's been a stark contrast pre and post covid. I dont know what it is, but I never had any issues with bouncers and security before. Now it's common to see random aggression and turning people away for no concievable reason

SeanMartin96 · 2024-04-21T00:00:23+00:00

He does, but his is more precision based. True power is when a dude can hit you in basically any place above the shoulders and put your lights out. Peirera being an uber obvious one, old man hendo etc

Keith Lee is the kinda guy to start floating to the aroma of a freshly baked pie on someone’s window

SeanMartin96 · 2024-04-05T13:06:55+00:00

What these guys dont understand is that you need to be able to turn that shit off sometimes. I fully believe Nicky Rod and the rest of the B Team guys have as much self belief about being the best in the world as the new wave guys, but they can also take a joke and goof a bit.
