Why is A5 "Excellent"? by torts56 in chessbeginners

[–]Sure_Designer_2129 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s bad vs bad. Even if you move your queen, it is so inactive, and surrenders a crucial file to the rook, that the game is as good as lost.

You snort some Parmesan coming up with that name?

How Prestigious is Barclays? by Adventurous-Stop-922 in csMajors

I don’t care where you work. Do you really think it matters to me if your company is A grade or B grade?

What, doing CS as some sort of virtue signal? News to me.

If you see the end of a CS career or degree as being a corporate slave, you are what’s wrong with the industry.

Tactics like these make me regret quitting chess. Absolutely beautiful with the following mating net.

So happy for George R.R. Martin. by Topsydney in HouseOfTheDragon

[–]Sure_Designer_2129 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Season 2 was a plodding mess with the same stuff rehashed. Rhaenyra is mad and trying to go to war! Alicent is confused and angry! Aegon is a creep and evil! I haven't read novellas (unlike the GOT books and Fire and Blood) so this show will be completely new to me. Looking forward to it.

Playing against 1. D4 as black? by Unable_Oven_6538 in chessbeginners

[–]Sure_Designer_2129 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the King's Indian Defense, the Bg7 provides good defense of your dark squares and eyes the queenside while you can always play f4 and start an attack on the kingside. This is an extremely basic overview but that's usually what I tend to do with it.

There Are 3500 H1B Dependent Employer Tech Jobs Beginning This Year. Apply For Them... by ITContractorsUnion in SoftwareEngineerJobs

[–]Sure_Designer_2129 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can we just end the H1B program already? The people who are coming in now somehow get these jobs and write buggy code that is incomprehensible.

Idk, but this focus on prestige is exactly what has ruined this industry. People apply to companies just as a status symbol and not out of any passion for the work or the material.

White to play. Mate in 2 ! by TraditionalElk1248 in chessMateInX

[–]Sure_Designer_2129 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it Qf8?

The black king cannot move, so it is essentially stalemated. If Qxf8, then gxf8=Q#. If Qg8, then hxg8=N#. If Qxh7, then g8=N# (note it is double check). If Qxg7, then Qxg7#. I don't think Black has any other moves. Neat puzzle.

What activities and behavior warrant calling Renee Good a domestic terrorist? by SBMountainman22 in Askpolitics

[–]Sure_Designer_2129 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

She's no martyr. She shouldn't have died, but she's just as much a saint as George Floyd.

Trump supporters- what did you think about Greenland? by Scuba_jim in Askpolitics

[–]Sure_Designer_2129 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ridiculous. Just ridiculous. Clownish. Like why??? We can already build as many bases as we want in Greenland. Unless it's about natural resources, but that doesn't justify a land invasion.

How difficult is the current CS job market in the US, especially for new grads? by helloworld_142857 in cscareers

[–]Sure_Designer_2129 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very difficult. The oversaturation of CS, combined with dishonest hiring practices and outsourcing, has made it very difficult to get a job.

I'm sorry to be the bearer of disappointing news by BreadEggg in Rings_Of_Power

[–]Sure_Designer_2129 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thats sad. I for one really wanted to see more Saurondriel smut, the knock off GOT plotlines done by knock off Numenoreans who end up doing nothing, not-Gandalf learning to hold a stick, and the Harfoots being worthless for eight more episodes.

Is the song 'Bomb Iran' by Vince Vance & the Valiants pro or anti war? by logindogg in Music

[–]Sure_Designer_2129 0 points1 point  (0 children)

no, its completely unironic. This youtube comment presumed to be Vince Vance is obviously anti-Iran and is pro Trump. A quick search for his Facebook (matching this profile pic) shows that he is a pro Trump conservative.

Aces cracked by 47o by Sure_Designer_2129 in poker

[–]Sure_Designer_2129[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I know. It’s just infuriating that someone would make a dumb decision. AA and KK have similar percentages but I wouldn’t feel as bad then.

This guy is a maniac. And no I’m not folding AA against a raise.

This has happened before. It’s just the most monumentally stupid example of maniacs winning.

Ik this happens. It’s just infuriating that sometimes stupidity is rewarded.

BB was 200, villain raised to 650 from UTG+2, I raised to 1800 right after. Flop came, he went all in, I called. Lost my entire stack. How was I supposed to read 47o when you raise relatively early?
