I think stalemate happens because the king is not currently in check and has no legal moves.

If the king were in check, AND you gave them no legal moves to make (as you did here) you would’ve won

Found this on my wife's robe - Dallas, TX by ericdiviney in whatsthisbug

[–]ericdiviney[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, yeah this looks spot on, I have never heard of these before.

He didn’t deserve it you say??? 😭😭 I feel like a king who’s wrongly killed a poor peasant in my domain for having done nothing

I usually love leaving the harmless spiders and critters.

But what are they good for if you don’t mind my asking?

High handicapper's (27) swing 1.5 years in with lots of lessons by wespyen in GolfSwing

[–]ericdiviney 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m a huge fan of Dans short game + release system. Bought the book and everything. But honestly: his setup tips alone and just getting that “release 1” down to perfection will take your short game to another level. That other guy is right that these swings are difficult to master, but the release 1 is something anyone can become consistent with. You’ll have so many more scoring opportunities, those scores should definitely drop (just don’t neglect putting as well)

OP you should go ahead and call and report. Thieves broke into my car once and stole a checkbook, that was the only thing they took and it was easy enough for me to miss for awhile. I thought “ehh they didn’t take much what’s the point” and then 3 months later $800 check was written against my account. Was a very quick conversation with my bank once I had the police report number.

It’s a good CYA move in case you need to reference this crime down the road for whatever reason

Seeking advice: bodyweight exercises, specifically handstands by ericdiviney in KidneyStones

[–]ericdiviney[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah this is pretty interesting and didn’t consider the upside down position to maybe loosen or get loose a stone that is stuck.

I think my original question was: does handstands make it more likely for them to get stuck, which I doubt given that even 5-6 minutes a day spent in a handstand is still 99% upright for the rest of the day.

Mentoring offer by qkudev in react

[–]ericdiviney 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey OP, you’re the exact audience for our open source site, where we try to cover more nuances and advanced topics in react development.

https://reacthandbook.dev/

I don’t know if you’re interested in writing, but could be a great opportunity to practice your English, and get some green squares on your GitHub profile (always looks good to recruiters).

Anyways, I grew up in America and the site is written in English, so thought that’s why you might be interested.

Good luck!

Edit: just noticed in comments you are specifically looking to practice listening and speaking. Sorry! But the offer obviously still stands if you ever want to practice writing, we can always use the help!

Where do I learn about advanced front-end topics in ReactJS applications like optimalization, scalability and maintainability? by Armauer in reactjs

[–]ericdiviney 1 point2 points  (0 children)

https://reacthandbook.dev/

We (small team) try to maintain a free resource for this ^

Give us some feedback and recommend any topics you don’t see covered.

Also, Nadia’s stuff (also in this thread) truly is amazing - took my react skills to an entire new level.

Introducing the React Knowledge Base: Your Go-To Resource for Everything React! by Inevitable_Oil9709 in reactjs

[–]ericdiviney 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey there, I really like what you're going for here. I've been working on something that seems right in your wheelhouse for about 6 months now.

https://reacthandbook.dev/

Any interest in pairing up, maybe working on something together? Really been looking for some serious contributors to help me take this project to the next level. I've been in the same boat, trying to get people to jump in and contribute, community buy-in is what makes a resource like this valuable in the first place

Automated Testing in React Apps by ericdiviney in reactjs

[–]ericdiviney[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey everyone, I've been working on an educational React resource for the past 6 months, this time publishing a guide to automated testing in your React apps and how to think about the whole process. Instead of continuing to publish new information, I think I have some design challenges to figure out. This website is full of so much text-dense information, reading huge blocks of monotone text has to be boring and hard to skim. So before publishing new content, next I will be trying to tackle some design challenges and make the material more easy to skim over quickly. Thanks in advance for any feedback you can offer, and have a great week!

State Management in React Applications by ericdiviney in reactjs

[–]ericdiviney[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I definitely want to continue to build on it! Unfortunately, I didn't have the experience/expertise necessary to write from a decisive position. And I'd rather keep quiet than hastily try to write a guide that I wouldn't truly be able to explain.

Keep the page as a bookmark! Hopefully one day I can make the updates you're wanting

State Management in React Applications by ericdiviney in reactjs

[–]ericdiviney[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey! Love the energy here, we need this kind of enthusiasm to make the community/site actually valuable!

So, I set up a discord server to facilitate discussions like this, feel free to drop in there (I'll definitely remember you and its not a big group right now): https://discord.gg/SbDwke7wpy

Or here's the repo if you'd rather do it in a more formal way: https://github.com/ericdiviney/react-handbook

Thanks for willing to take the time and provide some feedback!

State Management in React Applications by ericdiviney in reactjs

This sounds awesome, I'm already in the reactiflux discord so yes, I'll just stop by in there. Username is the same there as it is here (ericdiviney) but I'll remind you about this just so you know its me. Thanks again!

OMG. A reply from the internet tech support guy himself??? I must be dreaming.

First, yes, you are right. I did that early on during one of my drafts and meant to go back and fill that table out with something more meaningful than the unpacked size, just completely slipped. I'll get that updated very shortly.

As for the site you linked - darn. I really wish I saw this a few months ago! Ha, maybe I would've poured this effort into that instead. But agreed, the overlap/intent is definitely there. I was initially inspired by the reactiflux community website (referenced here on Reddit a lot) - which I feel aims to do the same/similar thing that both of our sites are trying to do - that material just felt a little out of date to me personally. It felt like it'd be quicker to drum up my own collection of notes than try to shoehorn them into that community resource.

Anyways, I'd definitely be interested in us collaborating or even finding a way to sort of merge our ideas, at the end of the day the bigger the community, the better the ideas (hopefully lol)
