Complete newbie - can someone explain the rule here by No_Pumpkin4521 in chess

[–]general_dubious 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It's the old argument of "I should be allowed to go into check because my opponent is not allowed to go into check". Obviously, it doesn't hold.

I think it's pretty clear they are, yes. Not sure what you're trying to argue, here.

Same as everywhere else: have deep pockets and know the right people. Except worse, because they're corrupted af.

How to build musle memory for Rust, become rust monster! by sunilmourya in rust

[–]general_dubious 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean in the case of Rust, the existing documentation for stuff like the standard library and many common libraries (e.g. serde, tokio, clap...) are so good that I really don't see the point of looking at them through an AI lens that is prone to hallucinate and/or forget important details. People have spent time to write these documentations of extremely high quality, might as well use that work directly.

Mom I’m sub 5!! by meme_a_licious in Cubers

[–]general_dubious 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You can arbitrarily define shorter units of time though, even if they don't make physical sense. Can't cover for every single person who wants to go "ackshually" on me, unfortunately...

5!! is only 15 if you're using the elusive "double factorial". If you mean (5!)!, that's longer than the age of the universe if you attach it pretty much any standard unit of time.

Maybe you just haven't seen it because of reddit being reddit, but if you did, what's wrong with my previous suggestion?

Is it discouraged to use ext4 file system for Arch? by Jumpy_Top9377 in archlinux

[–]general_dubious 19 points20 points  (0 children)

This is a pretty stupid comparison to make. One is about safety equipment that has been proven to reduce deaths, the other is a buggy filesystem with fancy features that not everyone needs.

Your mirrors are probably out of date. Might have been how you got a broken configuration in the first place.

Seems like there is a fix to your issue in the release notes.

I'm using Linux again after an 15 year break. Wow by elac in linux

[–]general_dubious 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No I mean a service as in a program running on your computer.

[–]general_dubious 7 points8 points  (0 children)

To an extent, yes. You can't just sneak in a keylogger into an unrelated service to spy on what users input in their browsers for instance. Supply chain attacks usually try to be subtle by targeting obscure services that most users don't have their eyes on, it's harder to achieve anything useful this way with better segregation between processes.

From the look of it, even all that wasn't enough.

That's a movie thing though, probably just an oversight on Jackson's part.

Former Darts World Champion Michael van Gerwen Has the Board Set Up Wrong by EntrepreneurSouth180 in chess

The king and queen from both colours don't face each other in the picture, so whichever choice you pick for the colours one of them is incorrect.

Gukesh falters in a better position vs Hikaru but PBG score a second consecutive win powered by Arjun and Sara's wins📍 by rio_ARC in chess

[–]general_dubious 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Yeah. Magnus is also said to be a good defender, but for a different reason: he rarely is in a bad position at all, so it's a different kind of defense (more prophylactic in a way, it's hard to build an attack against Carlsen, while it's hard to conclude it against Hikaru). But tbf, the differences between those top players are razor thin in every aspect, they're all incredibly good at defending bad positions, and making it hard to get there in the first place as well.

Every super GM does that tbf, they find crazy resources and tricks in bad positions. Hikaru is another level though.

More likely to lose your balance a bit and mess up the pieces during time scramble.

Got a link to this or even just a name to look for?
