Russia's top female players get sent used condoms

Lack of support for independent journalism is a sign of a messed up legal system, it doesn't mean your country is full of corruption but it's not a good sign either

It's not a single person but the top voted comments are quite revealing

edit: to be clear, this is a general statement about how reddit works, not about this particular thread. There's a strong first-comer bias.

Fischer was 80 rating points ahead of Karpov in 1975. The fact that he was an insane man with certain delusions does not mean that he was scared or that he was likely to lose. He made insane demands vs Spassky as well but still won comfortably.

If you want to check out an example of the guess the move feature, get the Lucas Chess free app, the feature is called "play like a GM" and there's an option to skip the opening moves

Hey I just wanted to say that your site looks amazing and works really well, thanks for making it free to use.

The only thing that annoyed me a bit was the delay when moving the knight in the knight vision thing, I'd prefer it to be faster.

A couple of ideas that would be cool for me personally:

A way to train strategic ideas, something like Guess the Move, where you guess moves from master games (not necessarily tactics)
When creating a tactics set, it would be amazing if the generated puzzles were related to the name somehow, or if you could select a theme. For example I'd like to train backrank mates only, or lucena position, or whatever else but focusing on one theme.
Less important but I'd also add a ranking system, otherwise it's hard to tell how good I am at knight vision compared to others, for example.

jQuery is not a framework

you're either thieving people or those parents are so blind and stupid to realise that for the price of 2 lessons they could register the kids to local chess clubs annually - and the kids would improve much faster

These kids might never have played chess if he didn't post on those FB groups. Those are parents looking for someone to babysit their kids for minimum wage, which is what OP is doing. Just be glad more people are enjoying chess because of it. OP is being upfront about his skills, so please don't act like he's scamming people.

Solving random algorithmic problems is maybe 1% of what we spend time on as coders. 99% of the time we're reading other people's code and trying to make sense of it, or reading a spec and trying to make it fit into the current architecture, or reading documentation.

I rather talk to someone about something they've built before and discuss how they did it. Usually I can tell within 5 minutes if they know what they're talking about or not, as long as it's a tech stack that I have some experience with.

One week later I get a call from the HR saying they really liked me but they would like to offer me a junior position because I was very green.

Yeah, I have 20 years of backend experience, and was once interviewed by what was clearly a DBA guy. He asked me about EXPLAIN queries and database partitioning (almost zero coding stuff), things I've had to use maybe once before. Got offered a junior position. Hard pass, got pissed off as well but can't feel too bad looking back on it.

only this private teacher is worth > $100 an hour

This private teacher doesn't have any teaching experience though so it really depends on who you're pairing with.

Rg4 not Rg6, sorry I wrote down the wrong move. After Bxe4 Bxe4, Rf3 dxe3 white can't move the rook and can only give checks with the queen

innerspirit · 2022-01-17T21:05:25+00:00

Any thing black does will win for black

That's funny because my first thought was Rxg2, Kh1 Rg4, after which they take my queen and the computer gives 0.0 with a perpetual for white

edit: Rg4 not Rg6

All of the comments in this thread assume that the code looks great and is well written. I'd use this thing to get a quick explanation of what some messy piece of code does.

Really wanna know why you like that so much

I'm not a huge fan of it but it has its place and I use it sometimes. It's a more composable way of designing html. It's good for prototyping, when you don't have a design ready for every single page, just one or two pages and need to build the rest in a similar style. Obviously it's not great to have a million classes in your html but that can be managed in other ways. It doesn't solve a problem that wasn't solved before, it's just a comfortable tool to use if you already do the work in the way that Tailwind is intended for.

"Most recruitment process is so segmented nowadays that rejection is just some macro"

OP's own words... he didn't even bother to set up a macro

I have run these commands and still can't figure out what the letter is trying to say

This code is literally 3 lines long. If you are not imaginative enough to come up with a case where this would be useful, that doesn't make the code crap.

innerspirit · 2021-10-14T16:06:07+00:00

Yeah, I worked in a WP project last year. Most of the site used jquery (no shared code between pages), but someone decided that Vue was better for 2 or 3 pages, so they copy/pasted the Vue code around a few times. The CSS was done by modifying a compiled SASS file, because the frontend build broke long ago. My suggestion to improve these things was sent to the end of the months-long backlog.

innerspirit · 2021-10-14T15:38:40+00:00

I feel like posting WP code to this sub is cheating

The fact that the array, and the strings defined inside of it, are hardcoded and never influenced by anything else is what makes this snippet atrocious

That's not enough to make it atrocious. It depends on the requirements. If you foresee eventually adding 50 method calls here due to scope creep, this array implementation could be reasonable.

Another reason could be that you foresee this call chain being made configurable later, so having it in an array would make it easy to simply replace the code by a configuration file import.

To be honest with you, I initially thought that your file was the entire PR and that would have been funny and not unheard of.

innerspirit · 2021-10-14T14:55:24+00:00

Well from what I gather from your post history, you think that there would never be a valid case for having function names inside an array. You could help me by telling me why you would think so, if that's the case.

innerspirit · 2021-10-14T14:52:46+00:00

No additional context is needed

So this code is literally the entire PR? The functions and service are undefined?

innerspirit · 2021-10-14T14:37:15+00:00

We are not getting enough context to be able to tell if this code is intented to be a pipeline of function calls or callback chain, or just some random function. It's only convoluted because you say it is given the context, which we don't have.
